Dear Strong Bad,
If you were to have a Lego set made of you, how would you design it?
Yours,

A Lego set you say? Well obviously it should be based on my epic movie series Dangeresque! It's gotta have a cool chase sequence, missile firing action, lots of explosions, tons of goons and ne'er-do-wells for Dangeresque to defeat, and most importantly of all a stunning damsel to rescue.

Now that I'm picturing it though, it might be a bit complicated to build. Especially for those fans who have trouble grabbing the pieces in their boxing gloves, mittens, or other such restricting hand-wear. Maybe the way to go is to keep it simple and classy.

Okay, the real set should be some kind of display piece. You know, one of those sets that depicts a vignette of my life with a fancy logo and a little plaque with one of my many, many memorable quotes. Maybe something like my desk, since that's what a lot of my fans tend to picture when they think of me. It would have a little minifigure of me, a stool, the famous "NO LOAFING!" sign, and of course my steadfast computer. You could sit Miniature Strong Bad at his Lego computer and imagine him answering all the e-mails I wouldn't normally pretend to care about. Then when he's done with that, he can play one of the games from his floppy disk case. Maybe a Lego version of Peasant's Quest.

It'd be so great. You could put my desk wherever you wanted. It could even be on your own desk, and then Miniature Strong Bad could laugh at you for having to work while he plays video games on his computer.

One last thing: the set has to include Trogdor in some kind of way. It shouldn't be an obvious way, though. It should be some kind of secret Trogdor that you have to work for.

One last, last thing: under no circumstances should there be a Homestar in my Lego set. I'm serious. This isn't some kind of reverse-sciatica thing. Lego me should not be anywhere within 150,000 feet of a Lego Homestar.
