DAD, SON FIGHT OVER TRASHED LEGOS

A Florida man’s decision to throw out his 19-year-old son’s Lego collection Tuesday night triggered a domestic brawl that ended with both combatants behind bars. Responding to an 11 PM domestic violence call at a Port St. Lucie residence, cops encountered Nicholas Melice, Sr. and his son, Nicholas Jr. The elder Melice, 46, had been arguing with his son, police noted, “over Mr. Melice Sr. throwing out Mr. Melice Jr.’s Legos.” The dispute turned physical and included an exchange of shoves and punches. The men each suffered scratches during the fight. Both men want to pursue charges against the other.
* “Leggo My Legos!”
* The one teenager not hooked on video games, and this happens.
* The worst part of this story? “Lego” is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt”, meaning “play well”.
* Dad must be so proud his Lego-loving son is carrying on his name.
* Mr. Melice had malice.
* Is this the end of the father-son relationship? Or will they try to … put the pieces back together?
* This will give the kid more time to play with his train set.
* Look, we know you people at Lego haven’t gotten many stories in the media lately, but you don’t need to make stuff up.
* Sure, a 19-year-old willing to fight over Legos. I totally believe that.
* Sounds like somebody’s heading for a very awkward Thanksgiving.
