I find it fairly ironic that the longer I'm here the less I recognize the x-year masks that my profile obtains. At this point I have no idea what the mask I have is supposed to be. Of course, this is entirely my fault for not bothering to learn the current story. Kudos regardless to the staff for taking the extra time to recognize members who have been around longer!
Hey everyone,
So by now anyone who cares knows that I am "back." I use quotes because back is a very slippery term. With so many things to do in this world, BZP can only ever be one of them, and I must offer a disclaimer that I can never guarantee my presence over any period of time (void where prohibited).
With that legal mumbo jumbo out of the way, I will proceed to the simple statement that was the inspiration for this entry: check out Cathexis's signature. It is great. You wi
It's IKD, and none too soon -- it's almost 2007.
In other news, I just hit the 800/1000 PM mark, and promptly deleted one so that I wouldn't feel like I only had one-fifth of my inbox space left.
Someone with a lot of free time over the next few weeks is needed for a certain job (I'm sure most of you can guess what it is). I'm just spreading the word, but if you can do it, PM me and I'll pass it on to the right people.

What are the other "Banned Member Discussion Rules?" I thought just "don't discuss banned members" was good enough. This topic says nothing of these newfangled "Rules."
Ah well, I'm behind the times, what can I say. I don't want an answer badly enough to waste a staff member's time, plus I think I know what it would be anyway.
Deep Freeze's signature contained a quote so funny that I just had to feature it:
"Follow ducks, for they are strong in both spirit and mind." -A Fortune Cookie
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
If you have ever or are planning on referring to a chapter of any sort as a "chappie," please, for the sake of keeping BZP sensible, do not. A "chappie" is what a British fellow might refer to a friend (chap) as, if they were inclined to add an "ie" to the title, but it is not what you call a chapter of a story.
You can support the campaign by putting something in your sig. Now go forth and pollinate.
So it's a little after nine, whatever...
And our top headline today: Bioni-Cool Jack became an OBZPC three days ago. Let's all congratulate him.
In other news, 100% of BZP members who partook in a recent survey reported that they felt they were "behind in the news at BZP." Members surveyed included Onuki and various banned members who were unable to cast their votes.
A recent study has shown that 70% of BZPers are usually procrastinating when they come on BZP. Details at ten.

You know what just occurred to me? In future years, when the alien presence is revealed, kids are going to be answering questions in the "Critical Thinking" section of their textbooks that say, "Why would the government have wanted to hide the alien presence?"
Pretty sad, huh?
I hate how in order to be politically correct on BZP, you have to say "a word processing program such as Microsoft Word" instead of "Microsoft Word." Sure, it's only an extra three or four seconds, but do we really have to accommodate for that 2.5% of BZP that either uses Macs or doesn't know what their computer's word processing program is called?
Don't you love how this entry had nothing to do with politics? Well of course it didn't, they're not allowed on BZP, silly.
The second part to the series, as it were.
Now, if there's one thing that gets annoying after a while with singing, it's vibrato. It drives me nuts, especially because singers can use it so that they don't have to be exactly on pitch.
That doesn't really have anything to do with who the greatest choral composer of recent times is, though.
And he is... Eric Whitacre (IMO)! You're going to have to find recordings of some of his songs yourself, but they're not that hard to find... in fa
I'm going to arbitrarily proclaim Larry Barton to be the best jazz ensemble composer of recent times. Most of his earliest work was published in the early '90s.
Among some of his greatest songs are Area 51, Panic Button!, and Abracadabra (not to be confused with that of Frank Ticheli).
And a lot of the other recent jazz stuff that I've listened to stinks.
... is a genius. Or at least, he's smarter than your average James Swearingen.
Check out my music content block -- listen to his song Eclipse. Just make sure to turn the volume up a bit, because a lot of it is somewhat quiet. It's also neat to hear all of the harmonies. =D No, I'm not trying to be sadistic and kill your ears. But be reasonable -- don't crank it all the way up. Just about a third of what you probably already have it at.
Seriously, this song beats a concert march any d
I'll be starting school soon, and won't be on much. Consider this a warning.
Yes, I realize that this is probably the lamest entry in the history of entries. In fact, I dare any of you to find a lamer entry. And it must have been made before this one, or else I'll know that you cheated.
I've made a topic here. The amazing jazz trumpeter has passed away, but not without leaving a profound mark on all of us. I know I've been affected by what he accomplished in his life.
