Later that night he sat on the floor, in a onezy in front of his fireplace while his family, glowed in the enjoyment there young president had putting it together, until he fell asleep and his son carried him to bed.
I just realized how good the deal he offered was. Partial repayment of Lego value and a silly little dance is far and away the best settlement that one could hope for. And they rejected it because...
I have a theory that Mormonism plays a big role in BAM’s behavior. It makes good business sense to settle with the LEGO owner—they’re a 400 million dollar company, so 100k is a drop in the bucket. BUT, the top brass is all Mormon, so if they settle, they essentially admit to being a thief. Public moral failures lead to total social exclusion in the Mormon community, and I’d wager that any hint of an admission that you stole from old people would make you a pariah in the church.
If my theory is right, then the totally over the top behavior of the management starts to make some sense: there is potentially a lot more on the line for them than just some money and Star Wars bricks.
As long as they don’t admit it, the rest of the Mormon community automatically assumes they are innocent (because a Mormon would never do that), but if Amon does the chicken dance, then that community protection is shattered and he’d be cut off from everything he seems to value.
This honestly makes more sense than any other explanation I've heard so far. There's no reasonable way to account for this many unforced errors without veering somewhere strange.

Great vibes from this picture.
"I'm gonna make SO many slaves build this!"
Pyramids weren't built by slaves
While its been scientifically proven that it was indeed aliens, I don't think anyone knows for certain that they weren't alien slaves.
*alien prisoners with jobs
^ this man sciences.
I mean, nobody is saying it was aliens. But it was aliens.
"Yes, I just hate paying people"
They didn’t have much other option, so what do you call that other than justified slavery?
They were paid, and rather well. It was a work program, like Roosevelt's New Deal.
Smart idea, look how happy he is.
What do you get the dictator who already has an evil glowing orb?
Is the photo real?
yes. I don't think the egypt foreign minister is the one in the Trump photo though
yup
A good glowing orb. And then a neutral glowing orb.
I got mine at IKEA!
I put a multicolor led bulb in the orb. It’s pretty neat looking.
CHAOTIC GLOWING ORB.
WAAAGH!!!!
This would be funnier if Egypt was a democracy and not a horrifying dictatorship
Wait, when'd they become a dictatorship??
Edit: 2013?? How am I so far behind the times on this one?
Mubarak had been dominating the county since the 1980s. The 2011 to 2013 period was a brief period of not-dictatorship
I'm an Egyptian, and 2011-13 was 110% a dictatorship. We've always been under one, just different people in different ways
Morsi was elected, no?
Later that night he sat on the floor, in a onezy in front of his fireplace while his family, glowed in the enjoyment there young president had putting it together, until he fell asleep and his son carried him to bed.
But seriously love this
Not when it's a despotic regime.
The elected President was murdered in jail by this stooge's boss.
Just don’t try to sell it to Bricks and Minifigs.
That kid is such a glorious nuisance. The definition of good trouble.

Chaotic good
It would be better to go to Reckless Bricks instead
Can confirm, Reckless Bricks does not steal from old people. Bricks and Minifigs, on the other hand…
It's only half a pyramid. (short in German: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4UIQstnZ9lo )
Dude can't wait to get it home and build it up
