One of the morally degrading possessions of the materially obsessed
capitalist world, I guess. In the 'good ole times' I've only seen
Legos in Corecom stores, but those only accepted $ and the average
Bulgarian had no access to any western currency. My, even a Kinder
Surprise was a luxury then, and Toblerone was considered the food of
the Gods :)

On top of that we didn't even have hands to hold the stones because we stuck all
our fingers in a dyke...
...or is that something strange to say?
We didn't think so, living with twelve in a carboard box. But boy was I happy
that it was a Lego-box (a bit small though).

I had an aunt working in such a store, so I guess I had connections.
And Kinder surprise? What kinder surprise? I still fondly remember some Finnish
Ahhh, the days... One did appreciate the little luxuries alot more back then.

Ahem...
When I was a teen I heard that they were working on a release version of
Dirt, but I had no hope of affording it. I tried to simulate it by chewing
off little pieces of my hair but I couldn't get them to collect since
gravity had not come into force yet. All this new fangled Time and Space
stuff is just plain confusing to me anyway.
