Leggo his Legos

Kirk informs us that he went to last night's meeting of the New England Lego Users Group at the Burlington Mall Legos store:
... Maybe 'cause I'm going through a bit of a "Dark Age" (what they call a period of time a lot of Lego fans go through where they don't do much Lego) I was a bit more stoked about building then and there than most of the regulars. ...
Ed. rectangular note with pegs on the top: Kellogg's now sells Lego-shaped Eggos (or are they Eggo-shaped Legos?).

Oh no, you just pissed off some Lego nerds
The plural of "Lego" is "Lego". Using the term "Legos" causes an insulin spike in Lego manchildren.
Also, it apparently dilutes the trademark:
"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services."
