"no real than you are"

What?

A giant, smiling smelly Lego man has been fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort.

They will get used to it.

Lego men have poor grammar.

If he was out looking for a large lego-like foot, I believe it is on the LOST island.

That bastard owes me money.

Anyone else have a MELTING MAN festival in the planning for this?

No drum circles, those are ghey.

Damn Sponge Bob imposter...

65 years ago he would have been packed with sten and bren guns.

This cries out for a photoshop. Actually, it almost already looks like one.

I, for one, welcome our giant smelly lego overlords...

Oh, so that's where that went. Can I have it back?

And what's up with those Village of the Damned kids?

A giant, smiling Lego man [, called Ego Leonard,] has been fished out of the sea [placed on the beach by a conceptual artist] in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort.

will someone please think of the little albino children?

drinks stall?

I'm still trying to figure out what "No real than you are" means.

It looks like he tried to dress up as Bart Simpson.

His hands are perfect for spray paint cans.

And in America, somehow, some idiot would have linked the appearance to terrorism and the beach would have been evacuated.

torso?

No, real? Than you are!

What?

Eng: No real than you are
Eng to dutch: geen echt dan u is
Dutch back to Eng: none really then you is

Babelfish fun!

Tinker toys are more environmentally friendly than Legos.

Use it as a litter box eh?

redshoejess: I'm still trying to figure out what "No real than you are" means.

Maybe it means someone tried to design a promotional Lego man with a shirt that said "No Less Real Than You Are," but some manufacturing error or another ruined it and they dumped it in the water.

Just wait until nightfall, that's when the Greeks will pile out and pillage all of whatever city is closest to this beach

Relatively Obscure: "No Less Real Than You Are,"

I was guessing that it meant "No more real than you are." I guess that it basically means the same thing, unless your looking at it from an existential point of view.

Screw your tinker toys you forest-clearing archaic wood toy heathen!. The legos stay. So do the erector sets.

Maybe it came from this guy? (new window)

Latest in viral advertizing?

/That's not a hair question.

On the back it says 'You have no chance to survive make your time'

I had heard the guy responsible for "all your bases are belong to us" was branching out.

Clearly tobacco ad, or at least cigarette propaganda.
I keep repeating "no real than you are", and I want to smoke...

/non smoker, until today...

"Hey, this Mr. Lego is okay! He's a sailor, he's in Zandvoort... we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!"

Flying Lasagna Monster

Legitmo?

Just goes to prove that Dutch stall workers play around with the floaters that they find...

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that you're right.

I, for one, would like to welcome our giant lego man overlords.....

It's a typo. "Mo Real Than You Are!"

More photos of this particular Lego overlord. (new window)

He's quite the pimp.

I came in here to say "legos", but it's already been done.

Supes - You know what they say about 10 foot Lego men...

/wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

I'm delighted I'm the first book snob to comment on this: subby got the reference wrong.

Lillyput was the place where Gulliver was the giant and Brobdingnag was the place where Gulliver was the midget.

Thus, I presume subby meant: ... couple of days rest plans to continue his journey to Brobdingnag'. Unless Lillyput and Brobdingnag have an exchange program that wasn't mentioned in the book.

Supes: He's quite the pimp.

I'm just waiting for Lego dude's arm to slowly extend, grab the ladies on each end (the better looking of the 4), and then he just marches off into the woods.

How long until that thing comes to life, popping heads off of tourists with its cold plastic claws?

/Not soon enough.
