The New Year might be well on its way, but that doesn't mean that I'll let any more Christmas songs off the hook. So it's time for another objective analysis. This time, I'm taking on Frosty the Snowman. Let's get to work. Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corncob pipe and button nose And two eyes made out of coal. Right off the bat we can identify a few disturbing implications. Frosty is a soul, which means that Frosty is disembodied. A soul without a body is commonly refe
(Disclaimer: This blog entry is facetious and in no way intended to be factual whatsoever.) It's Christmastime once again, and with it come a wave of songs. This year, I took the time to consider the the implications of the lyrics of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. (I really do have too much time on my hands.) Let's just start off with the first couple of lines, the introduction: You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall?
guys guys, this is serious we don't have much time left guys guys really the end is upon us and do you know why? my dad just referenced gangnam style we're doomed
*insert screaming duckling fangirls here* This is more of a legitimate tablescrap than many of the recent ones. I was deconstructing something yellow and put a bunch of leftover parts together. After a while I realized that it looked like an abstract duckling. | |
I reject your drama and substitute my tablescrap. I wish I had more time for building this week, but I've been continuously busy for these past couple of weeks. Thankfully everything is all over now ... well, until the apocalypse. I still haven't ordered that underground bunker ... I deconstructed a small building that I built when I was nine, and when I did, I found this little fireplace. | Also for some reason my camera hates me and timestamped the images.
This is a fan club in honor the most Glorious Admin, IPB Admin. There is not much here at the moment, but ... hey, it's the IPB Admin fan club. You can join up if you want. (You should.)
December already? What happened to the rest of the year? ;_; This was not intended to be a tribute to Toaraga, the former Global Moderator - is just sort of happened that way. I messed around with some parts, said "oh, that looks like a hunchback" and made a really big Turaga that I thought looked a bit like a Toa. Iunno. It all made sense in my head. | |
Christmas creep (n): a phenomenon whereby retailers promote Christmas-themed items earlier and earlier in each consecutive year. Thus I present to you the literal Christmas Creep, a festive mech. It creeps up on people, too. | | |
This tablescrap has a bit of a backstory. In 2007, I created a series of terrible noobish Doctor Who-based stopmotion films. To film these, I built the TARDIS exterior and interior. The exterior, which I still have around someplace, is terrible. But the interior, which accrued dust over the years, was sort of okay. This week, I rebuilt the portions of it that had fallen into disarray, mostly by patching up places where I'd cannibalized pieces. | | | | |
Earlier today, I went into General Discussion and found that the TTV Podcast topic had been revived. I haven't been a part of that podcast since earlier this year, just a few short weeks after my initial promotion to Forum Mentor. Some of my best memories of my time on TTV involved the MOCist Interviews that I did, at first along with the deep-voiced Tom (I'm unsure of his current BZP username), then with Brickeens alongside us. Eventually Tom quit, which left Brickeens and I to pester other M
So, let's talk a little history here. Let's go back to 1977, a big year for many reasons. Apple becomes a company, Miami gets snow, Uranus's rings are discovered, MLB expands to Toronto and Seattle, Star Wars premieres, Elvis dies, smallpox is eradi- Wait, hold on. Back up. Star Wars premiered. That was the important thing - some would argue that it has impacted the world more so than anything else that has its roots in 1977. (Apple, of course, would like a word with you if you agree.) Star
(Sumiki continues the Rants, Not Essays! series after failing to open a pickle jar. He had a tomato instead.) I used to be a hardcore completist. Somehow, every year that BIONICLE existed, I was able to get every set from every wave. Once I had gotten every 2002 set, every 2001 set (they still sold 'em in '02) then got every 2003 set, it took on a life of its own. I felt as if I had gotten too far into the collection to turn away, past a point of no return. In the world of business, this is
(TMD's ongoing series of epic blog entries are known as "Essays, Not Rants!" This might better be known as the first in a series of rambling, barely sensible blog entries known as "Rants, Not Essays!") The long-awaited Season Three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is out, as of last week's two-part premiere and this week's Pinkie Pie-centric episode. To preface what I'm about to write, I pretty much dropped out of "brony-dom" during the latter half of Season Two. To be fair, I never wa
Blech, I'm tired. Have two spaceships. | | | I rediscovered two versions of Luke's Landspeeder on the back of a shelf. The tan one's engines come from the first version of that set, which was one of the oldest sets I ever got.
