For something put together by a bunch of stoners (judging by the backgrounds), this is very, very cool. posted by brundlefly at 7:56 PM on February 13, 2006
The first one would be murder, wouldn't it? posted by mr_crash_davis at 7:57 PM on February 13, 2006

I figured this would be minifigs dying, but it's so much cooler. A bit surreal for some reason, like pixels are going to kill us all. posted by luftmensch at 8:03 PM on February 13, 2006
These people are just doing their part to support the Danish. posted by brundlefly at 8:13 PM on February 13, 2006
This is fabulous.

seconded on the pills.
this is the kind of funny, clever, serendipitous thing I come to MeFi for. posted by exlotuseater at 11:21 PM on February 13, 2006
Death by lollipop and bees. I love it. posted by mediareport at 11:33 PM on February 13, 2006
I thought it was a lobster at first, not a scorpion... which made it rather a surreal death. Either way I want that model, it's cool!

I wish I had my childhood Lego collection. :( posted by wtfchuck at 1:40 AM on February 14, 2006
My friends and I have a game we play when we find another friend trapped in a boring or awkward conversation. Friend A positions themselves outside of the visual range of the Friend B's conversational antagonist, and Friend A then proceeds to perform "mime suicide" until Friend B can no longer keep a straight face, at which point Friend A wins a point.
Favorites include sticking one's head in an imaginary oven, and miming death by asphyxiation in a closed garage with a car running. The happy mime smile is required for the duration of the performance.
This site reminds of that game. Fantastic post. posted by Hadroed at 6:55 AM on February 14, 2006
Ok, it's time to set things straight.
These pictures are of me, my girlfriend and her brother, goofing around with lego on xmas eve.
Contrary to what's been posted here and elsewhere on the web in the past couple of weeks, we aren't stoners, we do have a life, and this was not a cry for help. It was a lot of fun, however.
On a side note, even though getting famous was never our intention (hell, the only reason the pictures aren't private is because my brothers don't have flickr accounts), I can't say that getting your pictures linked to by hundred of blogs and viewed by hundreds of thousands of people isn't flattering (even if I did get called a frodo-haired geek). Hell, we've even been featured on TV.
Sorry for calling you stoners... posted by brundlefly at 12:08 PM on February 14, 2006
Those are hilarious. Personally, I'm fond of the look of glee on the girl's face as she takes a flame to the flag. Though, the drinking poison bottle, with the actual poison pouring out is fab, too. posted by jacquilynne at 12:36 PM on February 14, 2006
