\"\"<\/a>It snowed this weekend, so my girlfriend and I built a snowman. It has been approximately 15-20 years since I last built a snowman, but the muscle memory never forgets. Brett is an authentic snow person, with real coal eyes, mouth, and buttons. We didn\u2019t have a carrot, because carrots are gross, so his nose is a stick. He also doesn\u2019t have a scarf or hat, because the neighborhood kids will steal them. He doesn\u2019t have a pipe because Brett is not a victim of peer pressure. <\/p>\n

I sure hope Brett never, ever dies! He\u2019ll live forever, right? <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Lego item shines some light on yesterday\u2019s mystery object, but not much light. It\u2019s like a tiny light on your computer that you only notice when it\u2019s dark in your room. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s item is\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tires! And another thing!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clearly we will be constructing a car over the next few days. Or a boring Tire Store. Or a crime scene. I\u2019m guessing these mystery items with horns\/nozzles are Lego versions of race car tools. As suggested by the awesome folks on Facebook<\/a>, yesterday\u2019s green horn thing might be a pneumatic drill for taking off tires. (a.k.a. Those drills that go \u201cVvvvv! Vvvvv! Vvvvv!\u201d loudly.) Or some other type of pit stop machinery. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s bonus item of mystery is probably a gas pump\/gas tank. Or it\u2019s a trophy. Or it\u2019s a robot named Sneezle. <\/p>\n

As for the tires? They\u2019s good. They\u2019re round. They taste bad. All things normal tires do. <\/p>\n

Mickey and Donald, who have been drinking, used the mystery items to have a war. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 16 Rating:<\/strong> 2.3 out of 5 (Points deducted because I\u2019ll probably lose one of the tires by tomorrow.) <\/p>\n

Check back later tonight. I’m writing up a fun Christmas story that will astound! I’m secretly releasing the story tonight. I like to secretly release things, just like Beyonce! Tell no one! Especially Beyonce. <\/p>\n

Until then… <\/p>\n
