Has anyone ever heard of Modulex? It's a smaller sized LEGO system from the 1960s (made by LEGO, but the system was later sold to Modulex).
I just noticed in avideo on Youtube that there's a photo of what looks like a SAK in one of the original instruction manuals :)

You should seriously visit vicfan.com. All the hoopy froods are doing it.

Yes, I recall seeing a video or reading an article on how that was used in modeling for architecture...cool stuff!

I think I do too.  If I recall correctly, it was the "adult" version used by architects and designers.  A little more expensive than the regular Legos.  That almost looks like a metal scaled Wenger?

I need to do a denouement that reveals the identity. Zero likelihood of resurrecting the story line with Nurse Fanny Payne who has a fixation with hypodermic needles and using them, Fire Chief Sparks Blaise who is drawn to flames like a moth, a somewhat corrupt Police Commissioner Phil MacOffers, and Bank President Seymour Duckets (also the Maytag Repairman and local judge). Too much other stuff going on in my life right now.

Went back looking at the old SAKs and Coffee thread from the Fall of 2016. It's suffering the Photobucket "3rd Party Hosting" Swiss Cheese Disease with all the photos I had posted, without which the text is nearly meaningless. C3PO was the Barrista at the coffee maker.

For others who don't recall this, there was a running soap opera of Magentus and his Cthu-boat with its resident Corpsman, Medical Bill, its security officer Ms Pansy, and R2D2 the general gofer (aka tea boy in the UK) plus some other characters. Medical Bill and Fanny Payne had a running long-distance crush on each other, but Bill, being the sailor he is, made full use of every port. It was a stormy relationship.

Medical Bill is still entranced by Dr Sophia. Let's see how he is since she's been on holiday and out of contact:

Fun fact that probably you all know, but I didn't know that Bart Simpson is really voice by Nancy Cartwright, a now 60 year old woman.
Cool little video showing what a neat gal she is:
