Bob Has Moved!

Posted in Derick Brown
Hello readers, this is Derick Brown!  I am here to let everyone know the Bob has moved from this blog.  He didn't really know what to write, so he moved over to a more private (only friends can read it) blog, Bob's Blog, so he can feel more free to write his thoughts or something.  So if you're friends with us, go ahead and read his blog!

Sincerely,
Derick Brown

Elvis and a Proposal

Posted in Vanessa
Hey everyone, this is Van.  Bob just finished, so I thought I'd post real quick before I have to go and make dinner!  First of all I'm going to post a picture of Elvis that I took...


That's him in his 'Captain's Chair' (which was stolen from the English).  And now I have a proposal...  You know how there's nearly a dozen or so of us writing on one blog?  Well I was thinking...  Maybe we should split up this blog into two blogs. I don't that Bob and Anakin would most likely prefer to write on a smaller blog (Derick, Moe, and Elvis probably would too!) so I was thinking that we might make another blog for the more introverted people, and then all the rest of us (Kevin, the Rider's and everyone with them, Frank, and myself) could continue to write on this blog.

I think it would work well; maybe Bob could get out of his shell more!  Let me know what you think.  Thanks for reading,

~Vanessa

Pictures of Little Kid Chase

Posted in Kevin McKeehan
Hello everyone, your friendly neighborhood Lego-man is here again, finally writing a little bit about our life!  Elvis told me to write a story and provide some of his picture, and I decided to get with introducing Chase.  Chase is Ian and Katrina's son, and, although he's grown up now (we have no pictures of that currently) we still have some pictures of him as a little kid.  So here's a few picture of Ian's mini-me, Chase!

The first picture: Katrina, Chase, and Ian.

Little Chase by himself.

And Chase in Elvis' chair (which is now missing as well...  I think the English took it right before they left).

So there's some pictures, and there will be much much more plus more stories.  So goodbye, and if you wouldn't mind leaving a quick comment we would love that.  Bye!

QUICK Updates

So, lots has been going on.  First of all, Anakin is MIA.  Second of all, I was lost, and then found (however I did NOT go blind and then see!).  We have yet another new house.  There's tons of stories and pictures we could post.  And we WILL get to that!  If Derick ever gets OFF OF THAT COMPUTER!  Okay sorry for the all caps but honestly, Derick is going NUTS with everything!  He's trying to keep track of all the evil people.  Oh!  Evil people update!  Okay, here's what's going on:

The English are long gone.  Turns out we're not rich enough to be worth robbing. The French are gone, although they took Kevin and Anakin's hair, Moe's helmet, and Derick's uniform with them.  And the Germans are still here...  Because we still have no clue where Anakin's body is.  It's really too bad because having somebody constantly quote Bible verses to you would be really helpful right about now.

There's still way more we could write.  In fact today I've made up my mind that we're all going to post tons and get you all caught up!  So stay tuned over the next few hours for lots of stories and pictures.  Goodbye weird humans!

Updates and a Tag

Posted in Derick Brown
Hello, this is Derick!  I just wanted to let everyone who reads this know that I have been found (thankfully!).  We are still missing Bob and Anakin.  Frank has been found, Johnny is still completely serious, and we have Chase (Ian and Katrina's son) and Creedo Jaamin (pronounced "Jah-min"; or Creepo Jamin' as Chase like to call him) living with us.  Irene (Moe, Ian, and John's sister) is now unconscious, but we aren't letting it get to us anymore.  Besides, we have gained information on the whereabouts of the French (who just want our land), along with the Germans (who kidnap unfortunate legos who come across their path), and the British (who are just cruel and dismember and steal hair from even more unfortunate legos who promptly pass out and will not wake up until their missing body parts are recovered).  We are out of their path, and now we are just hoping that Bob gets away from Green Goblin (the Germans where sad to give him (Bob) up, but after Goblin said he'd kill them if the didn't give Bob to him they obliged).  So we're just praying that we will find all of our people; the French have decided they don't like our land so they will be leaving shortly, and the Germans and British are getting bored since they can't find us.  Hopefully they will leave soon, although the Germans DO have Anakin, so they probably won't leave until we steal him back.

Also, we have met a new friend in the time that we have been on HomeschooBlogger.  It seems that since we know where our enemies are, we know we'll be safe online.  The person we met is named T'Penna; she is very interesting.  Half Vulcan!  I was extremely excited to meet her; although I do think that she finds me odd...  But that's only because she said that I must be what people are referring to when they say 'nerd'.  Not that it offends me at all, but still.  But since I've been talking to her, she has done me the privilege of tagging me!  Or, uh, us.  All she put was 'Bricksville (HappyPlasticPeople)' so I assumed since she meant me.  However, even if she didn't, it is my turn to write, so I don't suppose that people will mind if I do the tag myself.  We've never even done a tag on here!  I must admit, I'm excited!
How old are you? In my early 20s.

How many brothers and sisters do you have? One sister, two brothers, and one brother in law.

What is one of your favorite things to do? Work on racecars, reprogram computers, making 'labor saving devices' (it's a reference to The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything! The Veggie Tales movie! Get it?)

What is your favorite movie? Anything from Marvel.

What is your favorite book? Well, as any Christian would say, the Bible.

How long have you been blogging? My memory escapes me. I am not sure. It's been awhile, but not too long... If you would like to know specifics, look at our profile and add about three weeks.

Do you like to shop? Not normally; I let Vanessa do the shopping.

What is your favorite food? Pizza, of course. You can't be a Bricksville lego and not like Pizza!

What is some of your least favorite food? Anything that Kevin makes.

Who will you tag next? Hey, I don't know. I suppose Kevin, Vanessa, Bob, and Ian.
Alright, that is all for now; I'm sure that Elvis will post some pictures when he writes next. Until next time.

Sincerely,
Derick Brown

Hello, Readers!

Posted in Vanessa
Hello, everyone!  This is Van.  There's not much to write about, except for this: we have FOUND FRANK!   Now all we are missing is Bob, Anakin, Moe's helmet, and Kevin's hair.  Thank you all for your prayers, and if you wouldn't mind sending another one up for everyone still missing we would really appreciate it!

Thanks, and sorry this is so short!

I'M ALIVE!

Posted in Kevin McKeehan
Hello everyone!  I'm so excited.  Guess why?  Because... I'M ALIVE!  I finally woke up from the super long coma about a week ago!  What happened was the human boy found a helmet for me; we still have no clue where my hair is.

So I know that not many people have been reading this blog.  That is most likely partly because we haven't really been posting.  But hey, we're just your everyday legos so I have to remind myself that they're not that interesting. :/  But I WILL be posting something interesting...  Here are some pictures of Derick that were taken before the war.  It's Derick in the ULS (United Lego Ship) Miniprise!  Here's some pics!





There's even a warp engine in this thing! The second picture was snapped as Derick was headed into warp 3; pretty impressive for a home-built ship made by a lego, eh? Of course Elvis took these. :)

Thanks for reading, and please COMMENT! We would love that. :)

There's so much going on!

Posted in Ian Rider

Ok... So there's a lot of things to write about..  I'll start with the war.

So first of all, the English decited that they want bricksville for their own, and somehow they got the German and the French to join them.  The trio's favorite thing to do is take lego body parts.  First Anakin's hair went missing, then Keven's, and then Moe's helmet. Anakin's body is missing, Moe's unconscious, and Keven just woke up.

Another thing is that Yoda moved in.  That guy is creepy!!!!  Oh! I forgot!  Frank and Bob are missing too. Well.. I gotta go. I have to help Derick track the Germans down.

Also, Kat and I had a son.  His name is Chase.

Quick Pictures and Updates

Hey, it's Elvis here again...  I have a few spare minuets on the computer (Derick finally got off from tracking the Germans (a new member in the war against us) so I have a little bit of time).  It's been awhile since we've posted pictures, so here are two quick pictures Van took while we were out in the middle of the night looking for pizza (hey, I know that sounds funny but it was REALLY serious! ;).

Here they are.



Hope these are okay for ya.  Alright, now a quick update: we found both Kevin and Moe, but they're unconscious and won't wake up.  We're thinking after we find their hair/helmet they'll wake up.  We also found Johnny, so that is WONDERFUL, although it's a little strange because after the war he's turned totally serious.  But we have him, and luckily even though Derick's work uniform is gone he saved his old outfit, so he's fine.  Now all that's missing is Anakin, Vader, Frank, and Bob, so if you could send up a quick prayer that we'll find them, that would be GREAT.  BTW, I think Ian might be posting something about how strangely serious John's been, just to let you know. ;)

Thanks everyone for reading, and please remember us in your prayers.

THE WAR!!!

Hey.  It's Elvis.  We are sorry for not writing, but there a good reason.  Around a month ago the Bricksville legos were dragged into a lego World War! It's crazy!  French and English legos are coming and wrecking our town and taking hostages! D:   So far Kevin and Anakin have no hair, Derick's work uniform is gone, and we have NO CLUE where Frank, Bob, and Moe are.  It's absolutely crazy...  Are are hoping and praying that the French and English legos will move on soon; and when they DO that they'll give us back our people!

We probably won't have time to write more.  We're still going crazy searching for everyone under the French and English lego's noses, so we don't have much time to write.  I just wanted you guys to know what's happening.

Thanks for reading, -Elvis

Our Floating Houses (Our New Living Arrangements Part 2)

Posted in Derick Brown
Hello, there!  It's great to see you reading our blog!   We really are excited about it. :)  I'm Derick, and I'm going to be adding on a bit to Anakin's post.  One thing he forgot to mention is this:

We're living in house boats on a lake.

It really is exciting.  I had the pleasure of thinking up steering systems so we could move our houses when we needed to see each other, or, possibly to get away from annoying family members.  For Ian and Katrina's boat there is a steering wheel.  Ian isn't too good at electronics, and Katrina is more of a book person, so I settled more something basic fir them.  Kevin and Vanessa have a button controlled steering system.  I had to show Kevin how it works.  Basically, there are buttons for Up, Down, Left, Right, Brakes, and Ignition.  It took awhile for Kevin to get it.  For the house I'm in we have a more complex system, since I'm the one running it.  I can control everything much better, such as speed and turning.  Most of the time when we gather it's at our house (since it's the biggest) so I go and pick people up at their houses.

Well, that is all.  I think that Elvis will be taking some more pictures of us, so when he posts you will most likely see them.  It has been awhile since we've posted pictures, and I know some of you are looking forward to us doing so, so that is why I bring it up.  Thank you for reading.

Sincerely,
Derick Brown

Our New Living Arrangements

Hello there.  It, again, is Anakin.  I'm honestly not sure what to write about, so I'll keep it brief.  As you probably read in Kevin's last post (if you read this blog) we've all gotten new houses.  No longer are the days of ten legos in one 64x32 brick house.  I am enjoying staying with Derick and Elvis.  Although, I must admit Elvis' singing does get a bit stale...  He is obessed with this band he found called The Plastic Crime.  Yes, it's a lego band that sounds exactly like The Classic Crime.  Currently, he's been singing a remake of the song 'Blisters and Coffee'.  It's called 'Builders and Doggies'.  It's about construction workers and lego dogs being desperate about finishing a build.   Here's the chorus:

Desperate, we will look at our plans
Stronger, our foundantions will stand
Freedom, is a part of our dog
Who won't help us at all

I am not sure if you are familiar with The Classic Crime, but if you are then I hope you realize how the lego version does no justice to the original band.

Well, I've already written more then I intended, so I suppose I'll go.  I hope you had fun reading.  May the Force be with you.

Another Template!

Posted in Vanessa
Hello everyone! It's Van, here. So we're finally writing again... We really are all sorry about forgetting about here. :/ When we did get on, though, we decided to make another template. I don't think anyone really liked the last one, we just didn't have the time to make a better one! Nikki's little brother, Justin, drew this template on the computer program paint. I think it's really cute. It's Star Wars themed; there's Tatooine, the Death Star, the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader's ship, Anakin's ship, and John Rider dancing in the front. He did a great job on it. :) Well have a great day everyone!

Things Are CRAZY!

Posted in Kevin McKeehan
Hey everyone! It's Kevin. Things are finally starting to settle down here. Lots and lots of things have been happening; in fact, so many that we haven't even had time to let y'all know about the crazy things happening. This is what's been going on:

On May 25th there where skateboarding tryouts for the Lego Professional Skateboarding League's Championship Competition.  Ian and I both tried out.  Ian at the amateur level, and me at the pro level.  That started on June 1, and Ian got 2nd place, and I got 1st!  So my prize for winning first place in the pro competition was to have a three week vacation to Lego Legoland!  It was really great.  We left on the 4th, and got back on the 23rd.  And no, this wasn't just some made up thing Nik made up to cover up for not writing while she was gone.  The timing was totally a coincidence.  I just didn't want you guys to think up any ideas. ;)

So I was going to write about that.  In fact, Van was going to write about the tryout the day it happened.  Things just got incredibly busy and we had no time.  Then after the skateboarding stuff was over Derick's computer crashed.  He was forced to leave it home while we went to Lego Legoland, so he couldn't fix it until the 27th (it was pretty bad).

Then we all forgot about the blog.  No, I'm not kidding; we really didn't remember it until after we all moved.  Yup, that's right, we all moved around like crazy.  So Vanessa and I FINALLY have our own house, and so does Ian and Katrina.  Anakin, Elvis, and Derick live in an apartment, and Bob and Moe look after John and Frank in another apartment.  There's also Darth Vader, Han Solo, and a few other's living in a house the Justin built.  So we're all comfortable and not squished together in one house.  It's great!

So anyway, that's what's been going on in our huge absense.  I hope you guys didn't mind too much (we all feel bad!).  We'll be keeping up more with the blog.  Thanks for reading.

New Pictures and a Template!

Hey there, y'all!  I'm Elvis here writing.  I have the pleasure of telling you guys about two things: First of all a new template that Derick and Nik made, and second of all some awesome new pictures that I uploaded a few days ago.  So I'll get to it!

Alright, the template!  Well orgianally, Nik made it for Tricia as a bubble template (which was awesome!  To see it, click here!) then Derick asked if he could change it.  So here's our version!  It's a bit too bright in my opinion, but I dunno.  I'm just to photographer.  But you guys should tell us what you think about it!  :D

Okay, now!  The new pictures!  Well, before I say anything, a few of these pictures where taken by my photo padawan, Vanessa.  And she's getting good!  But anyway, there's a story behind these pictures.  This is what happened:  while I was taking a nap, Frank decided he was going to steal my hair.  After he took it, he put it on and he and John went to Nik's laptop and started dancing on the keyboard.  That's when Van took this:


Then, I woke up and found out about it.  I was really mad, so I went running...


So then I finally got my hair, and my camera back.  Although Frank was very mad at me.  He started crying at first and then Johnny tried to make him feel better.  Then Johnny tried to stare me down.  Like that would even do anything!  Haha.  Oh well.  It's only Johnny.  ;)  But anyway, the day turned out great, and the pictures rock!  See the whole album here. :)  Thanks everyone!

By Darth Vader (Justin)

Posted in Guest Blogger
This is written by Darth Vader, who's owner is 7 year old Justin. :)  Enjoy!

Hi, I am Darth Vader.  Now, let me teach you.  I'm just kidding!  Well, actually, I shouldn't be talking like this, but let's do is talk about my life.  So far I'm also known as Anakin Skywalker, but of course I fought Obi Wan and that made me evil, because I got hate.  But I am a good guy, because of my son.  He helped me!  But also I killed Palpatine, and that's one of my adventures.  Goodbye, my fellows!

Updates and Such

Posted in Derick Brown
Greetings, readers!  First of all, we are very excited at the response for the contest.  So far it has done better than the other contests!  We will be posting the results at somewhere around noon (we cannot promise a certain time) and then we will send out the awards to everyone who got the questions right!  Okay, well I suppose I will move on now.

The next thing I would like to say is that we just had another fun day yesterday with picture taking and such.  It's a long story, and the background story is also rather long.  But I will let Elvis write about it; Vanessa also took a few pictures, but they're mostly Elvis'.  Anyway, probably today or tomorrow we will upload the pictures and show our faithful readers!  Elvis will write as soon as they're up. :)

Another thing that I will say a little bit about is the great thing that happened about a month ago.  Something very special happened to Ian!  Although it really is something amazing, so I will let him write it himself.  It's really something, so keep your eyes out for Ian's next post.

Well I suppose that is all I will write for now.  I hope that all of your are excited about everything that is coming to pass.  Thank you for reading, and if you don't mind tell me what you think of my new template by commenting.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
Derick Brown

We Need Template Ideas

Hello, there.  I'm Anakin.  I guess it's my turn to write.  There have been a few exciting things going on.  Firstly, Justin has been building me a new battle ship.  It really is something; I can't wait until I get to fly it.  Hopefully Elvis will be able to take a few pictures of if, so you guys and see what it looks like.  There are weapons galore in it, and the speed capabilities are extremely high.  I just hope Obi-Wan doesn't find out about it.  He wouldn't approve.

Also, we are stumped for ideas for our next template.  So if any of you, our readers, have ideas for what we should do, please tell us.  I know that there are a few template designers who red this, so your ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Although please do not tell Derick about anything unless he has read this.  He doesn't normally like asking for help, so this might make him a little angry; or annoyed at the least.

I will go now.  Thank you for your time.

Updates (Because Nothing Else Is Going On...)

Posted in Vanessa
Hello there, readers!  It's Van.  I'm not quite sure what to write; there's been a few things that have been going on, but not much!  But I suppose I can just jot down the few things that are on my mind before someone asks me to cook. :)

Well the major thing that's been happening is the fact that we know that Bob's alright!  Which is huge.  We were SO worried, and knowing that he's not dead is great. :)  I'm still not sure why he hasn't come back home, though.  Apparently he's been working on improving his super hero skills.  I've signed up for the newspaper for the town he's in, and there's been a lot about all the great things Bob has been doing.  It's great!

Also, we're trying to get Nik to help us out with taking a few pictures for our new template that Derick wants to work on.  It's been hard finding the time, but I'm pretty sure that we will be having the pictures taken tonight. :)  I'm not sure what Derick has in store (he won't tell us!) but he's really excited.  We'll see how it turns out.

Now, the contest.  I know that Kevin said that we would be doing on ever Monday, but Kevin's the one who runs this blog, and he's been doing crazy overtime for work.    There's a skateboarding championship that's coming up, and he's hoping to win first place.  Goodness knows we could use the prize money!  The amount of money we spend on food is insane!  But we all love to eat, and I'll never deny any hungry lego of food. :)

Well, I hope this has been a decent post.  I need to get going!  We're going to start getting busy in a few weeks, so hopefully the blog posts will pick up more then.  Bye!  -Van

People Are Commenting... Our Evil Plan Is Succeeding!

Hello, all!  It's Elvis here.  And I am feeling VERY happy!  There have been four people who have commented on our blog!  Since we were very used to nobody saying anything, we are very excited.  So thank you Hannah, Karlee, Tricia, and Nik!  You girls ROCK!!

Now, we have four followers... Just wait until we get more people!  Then, the human world as know it will be all ours!   Mwahahahaha!!  ...What??  Oh, right.  Sorry about that; I just remembered that we're not evil.  Haha!  Yes, and for real, sorry.  I like making stupid jokes like that! :D

Okay, so, there's really not much going on.  Nik's little brother decided to start acting out Anakin when they play legos.  And it's... Strange.  All the sudden Anakin's a weirdo.  BUT, when the humans are gone he's totally back to normal, which is good.  But, uh...  Nobody tell the little boy we said this.  Thanks.

Also!  Kevin and I have been pondering what we will do for the next contest!  It's gonna be something like this:  We will let you know WHEN the contest start ahead of time.  Then, at that time we will post the contest, which will be a series of questions all about legos!  Then, whoever looks up and puts up the answer first wins first place!  And if you DON'T get first...  Then you'll still get the award.  Haha!  Hey, what can I say!  We're nice, okay? :)  Anyone who answers will get the previous award that you saw a few posts below.  I think the link to that post is here.  But yeah!

Okay, well I'll get going.  I don't have any pics to post, yet, but hopefully I'll get some new ones taken to I can put 'em up!  Thanks for reading, and keep up the comments!  Thanks!

Bark Climbing From MY Point Of Veiw

Hello, everyone.  It's Skywalker again.  I'm going to write a little more about bark climbing with the Rider twins.  I guess since there's two pictures of me bark climbing in our photo album, I will just post them.

But anyway, the first time anything really exciting happened was when we found this guy, Racer X, stuck in a Jupiter Lego Trap.  Those plants are dangerous.  Once they have a lego in their grasp, they can melt them in less than 30 seconds.  It had already been 10 seconds, so I rushed over to him (praying that he would be somewhat okay) and got him down with the force.  Elvis happened to take a picture:


He was totally find afterwards, although we were both a little worn out.  But anyway, I know the plant doesn't really look that scary, but their limbs emmit a toxin that heats up and breaks down plastic, so it really is dangerous.

...Well I suppose that's all I'm going to write this time.  So I will get going.  Bye.

- Skywalker

Bark Climbing, and a CONTEST!!

Posted in Kevin McKeehan
Hey everyone!  It's Kevin, here.  And today, before I write my normal post, I am going to be having a little contest!   I want to see something:  does anyone here know who I was named after?  He's a real guy in the real world; the world YOU GUYS live in.  Again, my name is Kevin McKeehan.  And if anyone knows who I'm named after, then I will make you a lego award!  It will be cool, too.  I'll put up a picture of it later. ;)  So, comment and if you get the answer right, you'll win!  :D

Okay, now, back to what's been going on lately.  Well, everyone here knows that yesterday it was John and Ian's birthday, right? (If you want to wish them a happy birthday, either mail us or comment on the Happy Birthday post below :)  So, for their birthday, they decided to go bark climbing.  That's when us legos hike out to the back yard and then try our hand at climbing up a tree.  It is HARD, let me tell you!  But by the end of the day, we had climbed at LEAST eight feet!  We were soooo worn out!  But anywho, here are a few pics taken by Elvis, I think.  Or maybe other people took them.  I dunno.


Ohh, okay, no it wasn't Elvis.  I'm not sure WHO took this, really.  Hmm...  Oh!  Right!  It was Nik.  Our bad; yeah, Nik took her camera and took this 'cause we couldn't take picture WHILE climbing. ;)  But yeah, this one is cool, right?  As you can see, Anakin and Ian are a lot farther up then Elvis and I are.  Oh well.  We're not the best climbers.  I'm more used to skateboards...

 

And here are the birthday boys!  John and Ian.  Them two are GREAT at climbing.  They got up there in no time!  And just for a little perspective, they are eight feet off of the ground in this shot; and that is HUGE for a lego!  We normally only measure in inches!  :O

But anyway, we had a great time, and Anakin also has some great pictures of him helping this guy out; he'll probably write about that next time. ;)  Oh!  And to see all of our pictures from that day, go here.  Thanks!  And goodbye. 

- Kevin McKeehan (remember the contest, guys! ;)

Happy Birthday to E and Johnny!!

HEY EVERYONE!  It's Kev, here.  I'm writing on behalf of EVERYONE (hence the 'Everyone!' category) to wish the Rider twins a VERY happy birthday!  They're now 24, in case you didn't know.  But happy birthday, and JOHN!  You need to write!  I really want to hear your point of view of the whole evil scientist abduction, thing. ;)

So again, happy birthday to Ian and John from the Browns, McKeehans, and Skywalker and Elvis.  You guys are great friends!  THANKS!

Bye, now!
- Kevin

I Come In Peace...

Posted in Kevin McKeehan
Why hello there, strange creature.  Oh, you're a human, my bad.  I am Kevin Mckeehan, your friendly neighborhood  Lego-Man!  Haha, no, I'm kidding. ;)  But anyway, I really am Kevin, and I'm here to write!  Or copy. Yeah, this post is from our old blog, but I really liked it, so I'm just gonna put in on here before it gets deleted.   SO!  What I'll write about is...

MYSELF!!

I know.  I'm so self-obsessed and arrogant, but I have a few pics that Elvis wants me to show off of myself, so why not write about the pictures??  First of all, if you haven't already seen me in our family pic, this is me:


And that's my skateboard.  Which I am a pro at (skateboarding).  Basically, between me and Derick, we make enough money skateboarding and fixing computers that we all have food on the table.  And let me tell you, getting enough food for all of us is a BIG feat.  We would each eat three pizzas per meal if Van let us.  But since Van insists on healthy things, we hafta lay off the grease every now and then. ;)

Even though most of the money I make goes into the house (and everyone's mouths) I still have enough saved up for some fun.  That's right, I got myself a new racing car!!!  Yup.  Why anyone thought it was a good idea to get me a car that's certified for racing speeds, I don't know.  But it's great.  So here's another pic with the car:


So there it is!  Come on, you gotta admit, that is a cool car!  And I think Elvis did a stellar job with the picture as well. ;)  Of course, it only has one seat, so I'm trying to dig another one out of the junk yard so Van can ride with me.  :) 

As expected, everyone else was excited about me getting car as well.  Derick wanted to see it's electronics, Bob was wondering what brand of paint they used, and Elvis just wanted to take pictures.  Van didn't really care that much.  And then there's Frank...  Well, let's just say, Frank really likes my car.  And as proof, I give you this:


So there Frank is, dancing on my car, and there my and Derick are, outwardly smiling, but in reality completely freaking out.  I think this is when Frank did the back flip and broke one of his arms off on the landing.  And when that happened, my little black smile was totally real.  And no, that's really that cruel.  I mean, what really can happen to a lego that can't be fixed right away?  Van had the arm back on in less that a minuet.

Okay, so there's my post, and there's my picture.  I know they say a pictures worth a thousand words, but I really don't feel like writing that much.  Plus, I wouldn't want to make Derick feel bad by Pluto-ing his 'longest post writer' staus.  With that being said, I will go.  So goodbye everyone, and look forward to more posts!  Oh, and again, THANK YOU ELVIS!  YOUR CAMERA SKILLS ARE AWESOME!   Haha, okay.  Bye.  -Kev

Hello real peoples!  I'm Frank and it's my turn to write!  And I'm just gonna copy my post from the other blog cos I liked it a lottt!!   I'm not allowed to be crazy... And I don't feel like it because of John being sad on the account of people pulling his armies off.   It's really sad.  I cried when I heard about it.   But there's a good thing to write about!!!!  The new template!  It's by Derick and Elvis!  And Vanessa helped too!

Elvis took the picture and made the reflection that's from Reflection Maker, and Vanessa helped with the idea of the see through stuff!!  Then Derick made everything on his kewl 'puter that he's letting me go on nowww!!  Oh!  Am I allowed to do that?  .......

But tell Derick that's it's kewl, because it is!!!  He really likes it when people say his 'puter stuff is good!!!   I lurve smile faces!!!   OKay!  I have something!  You tell Derick that the templates and he'll be  but if you say it's  then he'll be  and .

The Bob Story

Hello, peoples!   Well, I'm sure you guys have heard tons of stuff about 'Bob's missing, we'll say the rest later' on here.  So, since I write the original post on our other blog, I'm going to re-post it here, so you guys know what happened.  Thanks!

First of all, I have some bad, good, and worse news.  The bad news, is that myself and Bob both got lost due to the actions of the giant human children running around in Bricksville town.  The good news is that I was found.  And the worst news is, you guessed it, Bob is still missing, which is why I am filling in for his spot.

Well, I am going to start at the beginning of the story.  I was just sitting in Derick's lab like I always do messing with my camera when this human girl came up and started playing with me.  Before I knew it I was in a really huge creepy science lab because some guys took me away from the girl to save me from being lost.  I don't know whether the guys or the girl was evil; they were both equally scary.  But the guys DID save me from the girl, so maybe they're not that evil.  I don't know.  But anyway, Bob has disappeared awhile ago, and we were looking for him.  But once I got lost they decided to take it to the next step.  So everyone got together, and then Kev made some missing posters.  This is what they looked like:


I think they did pretty good on them. :D  But anyway, the guys who were, uh, housing me, saw the posters and then brought me over to them.  I don't know why they wouldn't let me talk; I would have told them that we were RIGHT across the street from my house, but whatever.  Anyway, I got home and everyone was happy.


But, we still have no clue where Bob is!  Now I know this is crazy to write this here, because I know for a fact that the only humans who live near our house don't know where he is, but still.  I'm just writing this so you guys know why Bob's out.  And if there happens to be legos reading this, Anakin Skywalker is helping us find Bob, so if you don't return him you'll be melted! ;)

Thank you very much, and I will go.  Bye!  -Elvis

More on Bricksville!

Posted in Derick Brown
Greetings fellow beings!  I'm Derick Brown!  I'm going to write a little more about us, if you don't mind!

Okay, so I am going to start with a little bit about myself.  I love computers, science, math, and cooking.  Let us just say I enjoy the academic life.  With the cooking added in, of course.   Currently my jobs consist of being a race car technician, helping Van cook for everyone, making sure that everybody writes on here, and trying to make helpful things for around the house.  Also, this is what I look like:



So, since that has been said, I am going to continue with a brief description on why we are making this blog.  We all love writing.  Some more than others; Bob, for example seems to have barely anything to say compared to let us say, me or Kevin.  But we all do enjoy it to an extent, so we asked our owner to let us have a blog to document our lives in Bricksville (the town we live in).  Our owner, in case you didn't know, is Nik, or Comatose.  So she let us have a blog, and also let us design it.   In face, she even let us have our own account after awhile!  Elvis was in charge of the design, because his picture is in it, and I sat down and did the coding from scratch (normally Bob would have done it, but he's currently missing; I'll have Elvis explain it to you later).

But anyway, we now have a blog.  'We' is basically everyone that Anakin mentioned (and he did a GREAT job on the opening post!  Much better than Bob's on the other blog...).  I know that Anakin described everyone, but I though pictures would be better; it was hard to see US in the background of this template!


So that is us.  Okay, so from left to right I'll tell you who everyone is.  There's Elvis, who's great at photography, and web design.  He's great in general, really.  Then there is Bob, in the Spidey suit.  It's sad, him getting lost...  But anyway, Bob's really great too, it's just he honestly thinks he's Spiderman.  So, he's a little strange.  But considering how completely CRAZY his twin is, I think being just a little strange is quite okay.  After that, there is Vanessa, my older sister, and her husband Kevin Mckeehan.  Vanessa is an excellent cook, it's amazing.  I learned everything I know from her.  And Kevin is a professional skateboarder who is also an accomplished builder. 

Then, in the white Star Wars clone suit there is John.  He's weird like Frank, as Anakin said.  And in the white helmet, you have Frank, who we've been talking about.  Frank is twins with Bob, and they are the oldest in our family (then comes Vanessa and me).  Frank is, to be blunt, mentally challenged.  He basically has the reasoning, IQ, and logic skills of a nine year old boy.  Not that much fun.  So he requires a lot of looking after; Frank is the reason why Vanessa does not have a job, really.  Next is me, in my old white outfit, but I'll skip me, because I already said some stuff!  After me, there is Ian Rider.  He's twins with John.  I don't know much about him, other than he wears girl hair and is really funny.

Okay, so now you know us, why we are blogging, and so on and so forth.  I hope that you will come by often and see what is going on around here.  Elvis is always taking pictures, so look forward to lots of cool pictures when he posts.  Goodbye until next time!

New-ness Day!

Hello!  Welcome to our new blog, The Bricksville Blog!  There is a lot of new stuff going on today; we have a new account, a new blog, new people writing, a new template, new pictures, new everything, it seems!  So I will be just writing a little message here introducing us to the world.  :)

Now, you may have already met us from our previous blog on Nik's account (Nik is one of our owners, who is also known as Comatose around here).  If you have, then you can just skip all of this.  If not, then please continue to read; I will try to make it brief.

First of all, I will introduce you to the main family in Bricksville.  They are the Brown's.  The Brown's have been around well before Bricksville was ever a town.  They started out as Bob and Frank, the twins, Vanessa, and Derick.  Then Kevin McKeehan (who was extremely rich at the time) ran away from home and started living with the Brown's, and about a year later Kevin and Vanessa got married.  So ever since then, Kevin, Bob, and Derick have been all making enough money to have a HUGE house (and enough money for Vanessa to cook for their giant appetites) and the Brown's have been taking in anyone who needs a home.  I am one of those people.  So is Elvis Presley.

So that there is most of the town.  But then there are a few other families, although I will just tell you about the Riders, because they are the only people who write on this blog.  Ian and John Rider are twins (they're 23, I think), and they are a lot like the Brown twins.  The older one, Ian, is very smart, and the younger one, John, is extremely dumb and completely crazy.  It's the same way with Bob and Frank; Frank is completely insane, so him and John get along very well with each other.  Bob does get along with Ian fairly well, but it's hard to tell becuase Bob never talks.  Also, he is currently missing somewhere in the piles of legos all around, and we haven't found him yet.   But we are trying very hard to look for him, and we have also

So that is the basic information that you will need to know to keep up with this blog.  We'll keep you updated on what's going on, and as more people write you will most likely learn more about them.  Thank you for reading this, and please tell us what you think of us, and the blog.  Goodbye, and may the force be with you, and your family.

- Anakin Skywalker
P.S. I'm sure you have already figured this out, but if you would like to see what I look like, I'm the giant guy on the top of the screen. ;)  Thanks.
