The city was submerged for the first time since the show's pilot! Then it got even better--they finally got the city to fly!
Holy unferth, it is difficult to restrain the geeky fanboy virus that is in my blood.
This season of Stargate: Atlantis had its ups and downs--in fact I'd describe recent episodes as "rocky." I have been a tad uncertain about the direction the show has been heading, especially with the recent death (or apparent death) of Dr. Beckett, which was the final kick of man
For some reason there has been a recent trend of confusion among the members in the area of identifying staff positions. I am increasingly befuddled by this peculiarity, as in my greater-than-four years here at BZPower I have never seen this voiced confusion until recently. My only conclusion is that it stems from the "new" staff structure, which incresed similarity between certain groups of the forum staff, both in abilities and nomenclature. Despite this, it is very jarring to me to see Omi
"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
Composed by David Gilmour and Roger Waters
So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from ######?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish...How I
There is no topic revival rule in the library forums. Please refrain from reporting topics in Comedies, Epics, or Short Stories for being "revived." The creative process cannot be rushed, so large gaps between the posting of chapters is acceptable.

"Death on Two Legs" by Queen
Composed by Freddie mercury
You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
...
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
...
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
...
(No, this is not related to anything on BZP. No, I'm also not going to tell you what it is about.)
Squid have beaks!
They also have a large mantle and obvious tentacles.
But especially remember that they have beaks. They do not have mandibles or anything of the sort.
These are what squid look like:
Yes, squid are awesome.
For those who have not been watching the news or live abroad, there was a horrible massacre--the largest mass-murder ever committed--at a university only a couple hours away from me yesterday. Some deeply psychotic student at Virginia Tech shot a freshman and an RA in a dorm, then took two guns and a great deal of ammunition and stormed into a classroom building where he murdered thirty more people, both students and professors before committing suicide as the police closed in.
I have a go
Since I didn't have time to make an entry of my own, I will present here my favorite entries of the contest so far instead of advertising mine.
The Bohrok Va! The cutest Bionicle sets remade into a even better, more expressive form. My Shipmate ToMmy, who has had a history of fixation on the Va (perhaps because he is apparently incessantly annoyed by Kayvee), came up with the perfect idea or this Bionicle Building Contest and applied the concept brilliantly, in a simple yet elegant fash
"I'm Going Slightly Mad" by Queen
Composed by Freddie Mercury
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you - oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened - happened
It finally happened - ooh oh
It finally happened
Please vote in the RPG contest. I just put a lot of work and have lots some sleep over these polls.
As a final note, I would like to state that have gained a massive appreciation for Tufi, Schizo, and all who make polls for the BBC contests. Sorting forty-eight entries was tiring enough; I cringe to think of doing over two hundred!
I have updated the "Most Recent MOC" box with my BBC #41 entry, "Callinect." Callinect is a little blue crustacean. The theme of the contest is to create a MOC that could be a viable Bionicle set produced by Lego--keeping in mind the correct pieces counts and prices ranges, and levels of complexity. My little arthropod is made for the five-dollar set division of the Bionicle line (joining sets such as the Turaga, Matoran, Bohrok Va, and Hydruka).
And, it glows in the dark!

Though it seems like just yesterday we wrapped up the last TBRPG contest, another three months have passed us since its closure. Now then, is the time for our fifth quarterly RPG Forum Contest.
I will be hosting this one alongside my cruel boss, Admiral Black Six, so submit all questions to either me or him, or simply post them in the discussions thread. Speaking of the discussion thread, the lack of activity there is making me sad. Make me feel better by posting exuberantly!
Once you

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
WHY DID I HAVE TO MISREAD THE ENTRY PERIOD DATE?! WHY?! WHY?! I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!
*bangs head into keyboard six dozen times*
You know, it was something I had never really thought about before. Was there a place on BZP I did not really post in? I generally avoid COT, and I spend most of my time in RPG, Artwork, and the Library, but it wasn't until I stumbled upon this poll that I realized there was one place where I don't believe I have ever posted. That would be the Marketplace.
I don't really trade or sell anything--I keep my sets and pieces for MOCing, and the few collectible rarities I have, I cherish. So
As you should know, fellow BZPower members, there's a great contest unfolding right now. The competition is fierce, and the polls should be swarming with voting members.
BBC? Of course not, I speak of the latest RPG Contest. Go vote now!
I had this conversion but moments ago.
Me: hahahah hee
Me: so the Return of the King came on tv
Black Six: ok
Me: and I started watching it, then said to myself: "why bother watching the normal version interrupted with commercials when I can just pop in the commercial-free extended edition on dvd?"
Me: so I did so, and it just finished
Me: when I took the dvd out, the movie was still playing on tv
Me: now think about this
Me: the extended edition of return of the king has almost an hou
Despite tribulations involving illness and difficulty is locating a parking spot, I had the awe-filling sight of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with all their pyrotechnics, lasers and lights, glow-in-the-dark violins, and outrageously incredible music before me.
The show opened with a slightly curtailed presentation of their first album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories. Interposed between the narrator's crisp relating of the tale of a lone angel were such memorable TSO tunes as "A Mad Russian
Yes, I actually made a new MOC. Unfortunately it's just a silly little hodge-podge of red and green pieces made for the contest. You can drop a post in the topic if you wish.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra has instituted a contest encouraging fans to play one of their best songs, "Wizards in Winter," and make their own music video. Following the creation of this media, entrants must post it on a certain video-sharing web site and submit the url to the TSO.
The existence of the contest is, however, secondary in coolness to the fact that they've posted the sheet music for Wizards in Winter online in .pdf format! I've downloaded and printed out the piano music and
Yesterday evening I gained possession of a shiny new silver Motorola Q smartphone, as the contract expired for my much-inferior (and very annoying) previous cell phone.
How much am I enjoying this new communcations hub, you inquire? I'll provide a hint: My screen's backdrop is the cover of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, my ringtone is the Cantina Band theme from Star Wars, I've taken multiple photographs of my cat with the built-in camera, and I have enjoyed listening to songs by Van
There is Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Earth. None of those, however, is the coolest product of that world-controlling information corporation.
That, my friends, is Google Shakespeare.

Holy Hamlet, it's awesome!
