Which Pokémon Version?

So here's something I've wondered for the past decade. Do people pick the same sort of games in a Pokémon version pair? E.g. Does everyone who picks Red Version always pick Gold Version? I'm not asking if you have the games, I just want to know which you'd pick given the choice between them.   Red or Blue? Gold or Silver? Ruby or Sapphire? Diamond or Pearl? Black or White?   Oddly enough, I always pick the first one in the pair (Red, Gold, Ruby, Diamond, Black) for no discernible reason

Sharing Clothes

Is it just me or is sharing clothes about the grossest thing ever?   I don't share my clothes with anyone. Rule of thumb: if it touches me, ain't no way I'm letting it touch you. This goes for shoes, socks, pants, shirts, underpants, jackets, coats, hats, bathing suits, earbuds, and anything else you can consider clothes.   I'll often hear on TV or in person about girls borrowing things from one another. I just don't think I could bring myself to do that with someone else, male or female.

Javascript

I'm a fairly tech savvy guy. My computer breaks, I can fix it. People seek me out when they can't figure something out. When it comes to Javascript, though, I'm pretty sure that's powered by black sorcery.

Masculinism

Look up "masculinism" on Wikipedia (it contains certain adult themes, so I won't link it here).   Come on, majority-male fansite, let's spread the word! Women can open their own doors!

Calling All Canadians

Hi there, I'm SPIRIT. You might remember me from such BIONICLE fansites as this one, but I'm not here to talk to you today as a Prem Forum Leader/Ref Keeper.   You see, my former youth pastor is going to be running across Canada this summer to raise money for child poverty in Canada. Partnered with World Vision, his goal is to raise one toonie per Canadian [a toonie is our $2 coin for those of you not from the true north strong and free]. There will also be the opportunity to join in the rel

Pokémon Gen V English Names

Yeah, they were up for a few minutes today, but "the Man" wanted them taken down. Luckily, SPIRIT snagged them before they vanished. The first word is their English name and the second word is their Pokedex species in Italian... for reasons I won't go into. Enjoy.   * Victini Vittoria 0,4 m 4,0 kg * Snivy Serperba 0,6 m 8,1 kg * Servine Serperba 0,8 m 16,0 kg * Serperior Regale 3,3 m 63,0 kg * Tepig Suinfuoco 0,5 m 9,9 kg * Pignite Suinfuoco 1,0 m 55,5 kg *

The Next Social Evolution?

I just thought of something today. As certain technologies, like text to speech and dictation programs, get more advanced, will our society someday evolve beyond the need for literacy? What do we even use literacy for these days anyway?   -Reading signs. -Sending letters and emails. -Reading and writing books, articles, magazines, etc. -Chatting online.   As computers become more and more advanced, a lot what is written could instead be dictated to a computer, which would then filter out

One Of These Days...

Everything involving paperwork and school administration will go perfectly and I won't have to worry about such things as my exam mysteriously vanishing. Luckily I went into the exam with a passing mark, so it isn't vital that they find it, but I really don't want a 55% mark.

Christmas 2010 Debrief

Another yuletide has come and gone and here's what I did this year. On Christmas Eve, I went out Christmas shopping and the weather decided to punish me for my procrastination with bucketing rain. Soaked to the bone, I managed to buy something for everyone. My family came from Canada to visit me in France, allowing me to see them in person for the first time in four months, which in of itself was a great present. They were pretty jet-lagged, but we managed to make it to our apartment (which

Corner Gas

It's my latest TV addiction. It's getting me through the holidays and it's actually pretty funny. Kind of a shame that I didn't watch it when it was on. Makes me hope the other shows they're doing now, Hiccups and Dan for Mayor, are actually doing well.   So far I'm on season 4 and I think I'd have to say my favourite character is Karen. If you've seen it, come reminisce with me, if not, go see it.   That is all.

Doppelgänger

Have you ever met or seen someone who looks like, sounds like, acts like someone else you know? It's freaky, isn't it? Especially that brief moment where you suddenly realize why they were so familiar.   I imagine this is how LEGO minifigs feel when they see a certain minifig face reused.

How Canada Saved Christmas

The United States and other countries constantly ridicule Canada for not having as large a military as them. However, we have reasons for this.   Canada has a military base in the most northern settlement in the world: Alert, Nunavut. Why? We've seen enough Christmas specials to know that Christmas is ALWAYS in danger of being cancelled. Let's see the Grinch get past the full force of the Secret Canadian Special Forces, though.   You can thank us when you wake up on Christmas morning and f

Anthropological Survey

Wikipedia was unhelpful in this regard, so I bring my question to you. As a child, when you played tag, there would have been a "safe zone" that while touched prevented you from becoming It. I would like to know what term you used to name this safe zone.   Personally, everyone I knew called it T (short for time-out). Wikipedia calls this "gool" or "base". What names do you know of?

Dumbledore's Speech

Dumbledore: Good evening and welcome to Hogwarts! This year's houses: where all the smart, attractive and/or weird people go -- Ravenclaw! Where all the evil, ugly, and/or stupid people go -- Slytherin! Where all the cool, important, and/or plot-relevant people go -- Gryffindor! And where everyone else goes -- Ryan Stiles, I mean, Hufflepuff! And I'm your Headmaster Dumbledore, welcome to Hogwarts! Come on, let's have some fun.   *Takes his place at the table.*   Dumbledore: Welcome to H

Shooting Games

Why do shooting games always need to be so graphic? Why can't they make a shooting game where your enemies don't explode into a massive sea of blood, body parts flying haphazardly as they cry in sheer anguish for death's sweet embrace?   I like killing imaginary video game characters as much as the next guy, but why do games have to try to inflict war veteran post-traumatic stress disorder upon me? I'm into things being realistic and all, but what happened to playing games for fun?

Dobby! Nooooooooooooooooooooo

Why, Dobby? WHY!?!?!?!?!? Your death was sadder than Moody, Burbage, Hedwig, Bathilda, Dumbledore, Sirius, and Cedric's deaths put together times a billion!         Also, they left out Phineas Nigellus, so how did Snape find them?

A Very Potter Musical

When I first heard that some people had gone ahead and made a full-length comedic musical based on the Harry Potter saga, I initially had incredibly low expectations for the project. Just a few days ago, though, I decided to sit down and check it out and gosh darn if it isn't one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I highly recommend watching it for Potter fans everywhere, but a word of warning, there is a bit of foul language in it. It's called A Very Potter Musical and it has a sequel A

The Fellowship Has Failed

Long ago, on Christmas Day 2005, a young lad named SPIRIT received two particular Christmas presents: a wallet and an iRiver .mp3 player. It was on this day that a mighty fellowship was born: The Fellowship of Things SPIRIT Carries Around in His Pockets. This mighty fellowship would help SPIRIT through many battles, occasionally adding or losing members, but always making SPIRIT proud to live in a society when men's pants had decent pockets.   Here is a list of all noteworthy members of the f

Memory Lane

Ah, SPIRIT has homework again, so you know what that means? Yep, a procrastinatory trip down memory lane looking at some gems from his Brickshelf gallery.   Gotta love the classics.   Anyone remember when this movie was eventually supposed to happen?   A MOC of Thok I made back in late 2005 based on preliminary pictures   Movie-style Jaller.   "You and Ashbear got no wrong-quarrel. Just doing her duty."   The truth comes out at last.   Best idea for LEGO ever.   The wondrous da
