Reality Check by Dave Whamond for January 01, 2023

And so quickly fun turns into bitter seriousness…better LEGO of it

Pretend Danger versus Real Danger.

The good thing is that the lava will melt all those Legos.

Oy! That’s a dangerous path to take….

“Leggo my Lego!!!”

M’eh! Tomayto-tamahto! They both hurt with the searing pain of a thousand white-hot suns and oceans of molten magma combined!

Okay, the Lego’s might have the edge here, but you get the idea.

The struggle is real.

How’s he know what we did at Bell Telephone Laboratories during our lunch period?

I’ve always wondered how this “lava” game originates. We don’t do it at school, so is a lava floor just the obvious solution to our need for a danger-induced adrenaline fix? I also wonder, looking back 50 years now , is how I would explain to my father if I ripped the front door off its hinges while standing on the doorknob swinging from couch to chair.

Nice job on the Legos, Dave …!
