@Addict At least you are second. I would not even be in the running for sideburn consideration. Yes, more than one you and I have had our differences ("creative" or not), but you so perfectly said, you too have "grown on me". There was a point I tried to avoid you, fearing what you might say to/about me. Now, I look forward to seeing if you are online. IDK why. Maybe it is your talk of video game design that goes over my head and amazes me that you know so much. Maybe it was that Family Wot I Fink post I felt like it spoke directly to me. Maybe those fights helped me see you in a different light, who knows. All I know is, you, McJobless, you are truly a foundation to RRU. If you were to suddenly leave, I'd think the whole atmosphere would change. You bring humor, light, and much needed "newbie topic laws" to this forum, and I am most thankful for it. Here's to another four years, and I do hope in the near future we will have more "encounters" of the third kind and get to know each other better.

Don't think he's part of the family tree, but if I remember correctly from LEGO Island 2, the Infomaniac and Dr. Kilroy are colleagues, so... I guess that makes the Infomaniac an old family friend? Err, Dr. Kilroy's voice in that game sounds nothing like that of the Infomniac aside from being your typical "old male professor" voice. WE DO NOT SPEAK OF JAKE THUNDER. Going by looks alone, Jake Raines definitely looks like a family member of Johnny Thunder. However, the reason I didn't include him here is because of two reasons. One being his nationality (while it's not impossible for our American friend to be related to everybody's favorite Aussie, it does make it a bit of a stretch). The other is that, unlike Josh Thunder, LEGO never confirmed a direct relationship and, unlike the upcoming Ultra Agents, probably never will (unless we get another tidbit of the sorts from a future edition of The LEGO Book, but that's speculation). I was going to talk about that, but then I figured it would get too confusing. Hence I just went for simplest terms and wrote "uncle's brother" instead of "possibly uncle or father". Besides, no one wants to hear the possibility of Tim being the brother of Johnny Thunder himself! On the old LEGO Club website, in an interview with Ogel back in late 2004 or early 2005 (it was around the end of Mission Deep Freeze), Ogel confirmed that Vladek is his great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Of course, when you factor in the Evil Knight from the LEGO Minifigures series, who was employed by both Vladek and Cedric the Bull, the latter of whom interacted with the casts of LEGO Island and LEGO Soccer, both of which had a crossover with Alpha Team in a LEGO Magazine comic... well, the LEGO timeline implodes upon itself. Again.

Huh. Apparently my sideburns are second only to Sideburnsy.

Ah, great times. And you deserve some praise yourself. I know this is me saying it to you, a NZ-er who lives across the ditch, but let's forget that for a small while. You've been a great almost-moderator, and have been relentless in yelling at bumps. (I know I made quite a few ) You're a great part of this community, and often you bring a smile to a heavy school day with that Quotes topic. EDIT: Oops.
