There's a competition for almost everything at the N.C. State Fair, so why not Legos. After all, Legos kind of rule.

And now, two local boys -- Trey Hester of Cary and Nathan Wilson of Apex -- also rule with blue ribbons and Best of Show ribbons for their inspired Lego creations.

Trey, who is 10 years old, picked Krispy Kreme for his North Carolina-themed project (for youths aged 10-18) because of a connection both he and the company share: they were both born in the Camel City.

"I was born in Winston-Salem and we like Krispy Kreme a lot," he said. "So I just decided to do it."

The model doughnut store, complete with customers, a delivery truck and a drive-thru -- not to mention the iconic "Hot Now" Krispy Kreme sign -- is modeled after both the Winston-Salem and Raleigh stores.

We geeks love us some Legos. The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Acropolis, Yankee Stadium and more. There are some amazing Lego works.

...Like watching Metallica's "Whiplash," as performed by Lego figures for a horde of fist-waving, head-banging Legos (one of whom even goes crowd-surfing). As one of the commenters notes, some folks have way too much free time -- thank God.

(Thanks, Scott.)

Got a large load of Lego blocks and waaaaaaaay too much time on your hands? Why not use your surplus Legos to recreate various and sundry iconic album covers?

Then you can get back to extending your album covers.
