Hell is other people.
Hell is the absence of the good.
Hell is not being able to find the right LEGO piece to complete your masterpiece, forever.

On my computer lust remains resolutely pixelated and entirely suitable for work.
Perhaps that is the intended idea.

Any part(s) in particular? Some Lego fans use paint, but many consider it a point of pride to only use the production colors.
There have been a lot of parts being released in interesting colors in the last couple of years, especially for minifigs released in the collectible packs.

That ANGER depiction quite catches my imagination, actually. They are all pretty good, but something about ANGER sets me into a curious and inquisitive mood.

It was, Trochanter, but anti-gravity minifigs are still considered akin to "cheating" in the MOC circles.

I've gotten a few of the collectable minifig blindbags. I've come up with a special loathing for the snowboarder in Series 5, who I found in two consecutive bags. Man, I'd love to throw them in one of those circles. I just want the Lizard Man or Evil Dwarf. Why can't I find one?!

One thing with the minifig blindbags - TERRIBLE gifts for groups of 5 year olds, even if you have spare ones for anyone who gets one they hate it'll probably turn out to be not as cool as the one the other kid has and won't trade, and oh boy there will be crying.

Maybe I'm just unimaginative (I always had trouble seeing magic eye stuff, too), but that thing doesn't really look like a vagina to me. I'm tempted to send the picture to my mom without explanation to see if she would be able to know what it was-I kind of doubt it.

I can well imagine. The Lizard Man fig is incredibly awesome: it's actually a Lizard Man Lego suit; the lizard headpiece goes around a traditional minifig head (which peers out angrily through the lizard's mouth), and it has a tail piece that attaches between the head and body. It's basically Lego Godzilla cosplay! The difference in coolness between that and the Fitness Instructor figure (about all she has to recommend herself is a pink boom box), from the same series, is incredible.

Exactly. If you blur that because it's not safe for work then you'd better blur pictures of the Washington Monument too. Come on.

These are amazing, thanks. Gluttony is abstract Lego horror at its best.

Probably because MOCpages is a site where lots of kids go? Mihu gives an explicit content warning before showing the unblurred Lust; just scroll down (the actual content at MOCpages or Flickr is much better than the io9 summary).

The blurred LEGO vagina actually looks much more like a vagina (and therefore more deserving of a NSFW description) than the non-blurred LEGO vagina.
