Ah, those days of the Board Messages. Weren't they something? I wonder who came up with them all...
A lot of people like to come up with their own. Some even forming songs. Turakii's got a collection of these on her website. Most are awesome.
Remember that period of time when it seemed like the board was constantly not busy, but rather offline? How annoying. It wasn't the staff's fault though. Unfortunately, there were no witty phrases or anything of the sort for that. Just a simple "perfo
First, let me start off by putting up an honorable mention for last week that was just too good to pass up.
And now that that is out of the way, I bring you last week's winner: ''
And so, I mentioned before that I got the last copy. Now, I take a screenshot, add an '09 set, and you get this week's picture. Let's see what you can do with it...

Now that the hype has died down and I'm not as likely to get lost in the overly-abundant number of other entries similar to this, I shall give inventory on my Christmas/Birthday bounty minus what was in my stocking. Basically just little nick-nacks and candy of no real interest.
First off, let me state I didn't get a single LEGO set. Haven't for years with the exception of the gift-exchange I do with a couple of my cousins. This year however, we each thought the same thing. Try something besi
Yup, so I stopped at Target on the way home from work today. Spent a little more of that Christmas/Birthday money.
I got the last copy.
Oh, and the LEGO section had abosultely zero Bionicle and was overrun by Mega Blox, Knex, and the like. I can't believe it's still so messed up from Christmas.

Some of the simplist things imaginable are the best. Same goes for BZPower. One of my favorite features is still the ability to see who has posted in a topic and how often.
Unfortunately, the same does not hold true for blogs.
So, to make up for this, I've spent the last several hours going through all the comments on my blog and counting them as well as marking down who posted how many. I'm going to store this information in a content block and update it regularly.
Unfortunately, when
Something I've been meaning to blog about ever since the day it happened . . . which is now probably about a month ago.
You see, on this particular night, I was on the closing crew, if I remember correctly. It was probably sometime between seven and eight PM. Work has been relatively slow lately, mostly due to the cold, snowy weather. I was in the kitchen making orders. I had only minutes before been in the drive-thru and therefore was still wearing my headset. So, as a co-worker of mine took
A few good ones this week. Took me a little bit to figure out which one to award. So who's the first person to win this year? Why that would be the Makuta collectively known as Ynot.
Well, happy new year, everybody. I would've made an entry for it, but I felt it would just get lost amongst the millions of others. Which is also why I haven't made an entry about the bountiful harvest of Christmas and my birthday yet. Unless something better comes up, that'l be the next one. But for now, let's g
UPDATE: I took the gamble and bought it after doing some web searching and BladeTitan974's confirmation.

Can anyone tell me if an XBox 360 controller (which can be used on Windows XP/Vista computers) works for the following games?
LEGO Racers (1 and 2)
LEGO Star Wars 1
Those are the important three anyways. If you can tell me about Republic Commando, I'd appreciate it.
If you don't know, but have the time to test it for me, you can download the software to use your controller o
Yeah, as cool as last week's picture was, I knew it would be hard to make a good caption for. Though, less captions means less for me to decide from. And, ergo, a better chance that Xaerwolf of London would win again!
So this week, we're doing something totally photoshop-free. Something crazy my cousins and I randomly did earlier today at the big family get-together.
Please note that I do not endorse or approve of the use of any energy drinks. I drink SoBe instead.
So there you have
So my dad really spoiled my mom this Christmas. He got her a 120 Gig iPod Classic with car accessories.
When my sister asked her what she was going to "name" the iPod, my mom said the only logical thing.
"Chocolate Frog"
Oh the sweet bliss that is obliviousness. She doesn't even know BZP exists (let along that I spent thirty-five smackaroos on premiership).
<brk>
Easter eggs, that is.
For those of you who keep up with the Clone Wars tv show (I just watch 'em online) but don't get the Starwars.com newsletter, I'd like to share you some tidbits from Homing Beacon #257. In "Ambush," the aurebesh legend at the bottom of Thire's macrobinocular viewplate reads "infrared mode". The top reads "regular mode." In "Rising Malevolence," the second escape pod, Pod 1977, is named after the release year of the original Star Wars. In "Shadow of Malevolence," the "C
The Jonas Brother's singing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" live with Jordin Sparks is awesome.
*Note to self: Don't forget entries about grandfather's old job and the chili dog incident...*

You can make a foolish attempt to beat my record of 323.5, but so long as smacking that over-dressed bird makes you feel better, it's all good.
Unfortunately, I don't have photographic evidence of my record. Not that it couldn't be photoshopped anyways. But I did get a screenshot of the next closest thing to my record: 322.9.
Enjoy. Most of you have probably already seen this thing somewhere on the net anyways.
Records:
Torhuki: 320.5
King Lehvak: 323.4
As much as it does look like a sneeze, this week's winner is Aquatic Lewa.
And so, I yet again prove the inspirationality (if that's even a word) of dishes. Today as I was loading the dishwasher, I wondered what new picture I would do for the caption contest to day. Within thrity seconds I already knew. I'd hug those dishes if only I knew I wasn't going crazy.
But anyways, for this week's contest, I'm using a historical piece of art...
...the "Mona Lewa".

Step Alpha: On Christmas Eve, instead of putting the gifts under the tree, hide them around the house.
Step Bravo: Christmas morning, tell everyone that their presents have been hidden and that they must find them.
Step Charlie: Watch everybody hunt and open gifts they find.
Step Delta: Wait the day out until everybody goes to bed for the night.
Step Echo: Scour the house looking in all the places you hid gifts, collecting any that were missed.
Step Foxtrot: Next morning, return a
So far, this is what I'm giving for Christmas this year:
One of my cousins will be getting PORTAL for PC. Another cousin (brother to prior mentioned) will be getting a book: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (though, the book wasn't written by Tom Clancy).
For the Secret Santa at work, I'll be giving a co-worker two things of 2000 66mm .24 cal airsoft pellets.
And one of the managers who always gives me and my family a platter of Christmas cookies and a pecan pie (all home-made of course). She'l
So, lately there's been some crazy stuff going on at Culver's, mostly in the drive-thru. Over the next couple days, I hope to share some of these.
Take a little over a week ago. I'll never forget that night. You see, every hundredth order in the drive-thru is free.
...
Actually, it's every ninety-ninth order as I found out due to the fact the order numbers only go #501-#599 before it loops around again. There is no order #500. But it wouldn't be worth it to bump the "free" number up one
'Nother close one, but this week's win goes to the ever-capitalized SPANISH INQUISITION.
Okay, so, I was originally going to do a picture with Darth Vader and a Christmas Tree scene, but couldn't find good pictures of either. But I'm running short on time and I've got a headache, so I'm gonna have to keep it simple this week.

Lame jokes?
Terrible acting?
Movies made with LEGO minifigures?
And all of it done by somebody who is awesome now but wasn't necessarily at the time of making these?
If so, then, "The Adventures of Count Dooku and Mr. Bones" is for YOU.

Starting a couple/few years back, when my older sister got her new video camera, my sister "one-down" (I have 5 sisters) and I started goofing around with it. The result of this blissful foolishness was a series of mini-movi
