Why do people use NMQ&A for BS01 questions a lot nowadays? HOW HARD IS IT for members to understand that forum is for BZP questions only?
I dunno, it just kind of irks me that so many people can't seem to read the rules.

Welcome to Thursday Thoughts, an all-new category for my weekly Thursday entries.
First, happy thanksgiving.
Bionicle: We've had a lot to be thankful for with Bionicle all of these years. We should spend more time thinking about the length of the line as compared to other themes, and not bashing TLG for getting rid of the sets. Which is all they did, really, since the storyline is still continuing, and in a bit we'll get new sets with new parts, without the Bionicle story. So it's really n
-----As if 6:00 was bad enough, we got up today at 5:00 and left for the park by 6:15 to be there thirty minutes ahead of our 7:00 shuttle, the first into the park. The buses go as far into the park as they can, and we were somewhat concerned of how far they'd be able to go because when we got up, there were snow flurries in a frigid 37º. It was hardly an inch of buildup, but there was buildup. -----We got into our bus, which was around half-full when it was all said and done, and learned th
We left La Grande at 10:38, in 53 degrees with lots of clouds, though it thankfully was not raining. The rolling hills around us were mostly filled with cattle peacefully grazing on ranches. We saw mountains - some snowcapped - all around, but we drove for a good ways in the vast, flat valley before getting to them. The snowcapped peaks were mainly to our left and were part of the Blue Mountain range. A little bit after 11:00 we crossed the 45th parallel for the fourth and last time on the tri
-----The weekend meant that the Beloit Snappers were closed, which eliminated our first stop of the day before we even got up. In the course of our drive, Illinois soon gave way to Wisconsin, where the drivers were an extra helping of nuts. -----It wasn't just that the drivers drove with impunity towards life and property, but the real surprise was in that there were simply so many of them. There is nothing of note for long stretches; not even occasional small towns with highway-side gas stati
Laaaame.
Also, I doubt Smeag really has Admin powers. I searched for him on the Member Database, and he doesn't show up. I even listed all BZP Admins, and only two showed up: Dimensioneer and the awesome IPB Admin. My theory? Smeag was moved not to the Admins group, but to another group that looks like an admin to a layman, and is not listed in the database.
Likewise, a search of "Black Six" yields no results, and he doesn't show up in the POBZPC category.
"What?" you skeptics will cry
What exactly is wrong with raiding it, pray tell? Aside from some inappropriate stuff (which we Raiders stay far away from on BZP), most of it improves the humor of posts, comments, and blog entries here on BZP.
Meh. Wasn't really pulling for any team, though it was a good game.
Commercials: another resounding meh. There were some funny ones, but most of them were lame or were plugs for other shows on the network.
And they keep promoting that Undercover Boss show. Seriously: someone's bound to catch on if there are a dozen cameras following a person's every move.
As Brickshelf returns, I can finally post the MOCs of the Blogarithm Contest #1 winners.
Expect them ... tomorrow, maybe? I may be out Christmas shopping all day tomorrow, but I'll see if I can make it happen anyway.
-----We were able to sleep in, and for us, "sleeping in" means 8:00. I never thought I'd be a morning person, but I guess my circadian rhythm has always been on Alaska time. We walked to the site of our epic dinner the previous night for a breakfast of champions, and the buffet spread they had was the greatest breakfast I've had. I'm not normally a breakfast kind of guy and I can't name the last non-trip day in which my first meal was something other than lunch. But every component of the ho
More pictures than the first week, enough to do something with BZP's BBCode parser near the end of day 11. As such, the remaining Week Two pictures will be relegated to a separate entry.
