    Yeah, I had one when I was a kid in the 50s. Always was losing the nuts. I was reminiscing at work last week to the younger office workers. I got funny looks from the ladies when I tried to explain it. They called HR. HR got it all straight for them. Miss that toy. I wish I had one now.

    Raj Koothrappali : You were in the middle of an erection.

    Sheldon Cooper : Oh, of course! It’s right here in my hand.

    Sheldon Cooper : I want to build a road, but I need wood. Either of you fellows have wood?

    [Raj and Howard snicker]

    Sheldon Cooper : I don’t understand the laughter. The object of “Settlers of Catan” is to build roads and settlements. To do so requires wood. Now I have sheep; I need wood. Who has wood for my sheep?

    Sheldon Cooper : Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Does anyone have any wood?

    [Raj and Howard laugh]

    Sheldon Cooper : Oh, come on! I just want wood! Why are you making it so hard?

    [Raj and Howard laugh harder]

    Sheldon Cooper : And now that I have some wood, I’m going to begin the erection of my settlements.

    Raj Koothrappali : [sotto, to Wolowitz] He’s got to be doing this on purpose.

    The Christmas I was in the 5th grade, I got both a doll and an erector set. I requested the erector set and one of my grandmothers gave me the doll, since she thought I was too much of a “tomboy.” I built all sorts of things with that erector set and passed it on to my younger brother who did the same.
