Lord of the Rings Lego!

Is this Christopher's fault?

I see the revival of the trend of "I'm Legolas! I've lost my Legos!" jokes...

Considering that's it's lego made by the movies, umm... sorta.

I just have a problem with the sudden over usage of the term "Iconic". Everything is iconic anymore. I'll bet that if you asked most people who just used the word in a sentence to define it, they be hard pressed to come up with the correct definition. "Well... it's like an icon."

BZZZZ!!!
I'm sorry! Wrong answer, but thanks for playing!

Sorry. It just makes me a wee bit nuts.

Well, that definition certainly describes the Legos very well!
