Only the skilled can perform feats such as this.
Only the cleansed may touch it.
Believe me, it's a lot harder than it looks. Go ahead, try it yourself.
In other news, it's the last day of summer for me... =[

I'm choosing a cell phone from Verizon Wireless. I have a problem: the ones I've seen are absolutely terrible. And I mean terrible. Cell phones are the worst they've ever been. There are too many screens, too many smooth surfaces that get smudged up. The buttons are tiny. Touch screens are totally dysfunctional. The menu screens are a gaudy red and black. Nothing about the designs is intuitive.
Any good suggestions? What model do you own?

Hey there, . As you probably noticed, I've introduced a system in my blog called Category 472. It's a Bionicle storyline reference index that I will expand upon over time. As of now, I have already posted four articles. The purpose of these articles is to put the Bionicle mythos into my own words, perhaps helping anyone looking for answers where perhaps sites like Bionicle.com, BS01, or BZP didn't provide. It's actually kinda fun, organizing this vast amount of organi
Carapar was one of the six Barraki warlords, led by Pridak. These six powerful beings were created by Mata Nui himself; however, the Barraki were looked down upon in the eyes of the Order of Mata Nui when they rebelled against him in some way or another. Carapar and the other Barraki were active and formidable conquerers well over 80,000 years ago, each commanding a significant army. The Barraki made a noteworthy alliance with the island of Xia, which led to that island’s success. As a group, th

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty-five tons of American pride!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

It looks like I'm going to be leaving today. I won't be back until a week after Saturday (if not, one day before). This isn't good for me because I'll be gone on all of the days I'm supposed to buy my books for next year. What really maddens me is how lightly my parents are taking that :angry: . They are doing nothing to plan my getting my books before school starts.
Incredibly, I received my Brickmaster September-October today, on the tenth of the month. I'm a happy man, since typically I get my issue on like the 25th... of the next month. On that subject, I complained to Lego about not getting a July issue, and I am still waiting on that issue to arrive in my mailbox, in September. Is that right? Anyway, here's some photos, including some of the exclusive Klakk set.
The Klakk is a simple set.

Yay, minor victory ! I just had a (kinda) major breakthrough with BBCode !
I've stumbled upon a way to make the images in my Blog Navigator content block link to pages so that they don't open a new browser when you click on them. This is great because it's really annoying to click on one of my links and have to go back and close the old browser that you don't need (or if you don't close the browser, all of the extra windows really clutter things up). Now that pro

I just came home from mass, as on every Sunday morning. After I washed the grime of the pews off my hands, got a drink, and waited for the computer to whirr and chortle to life, I of course visited the BZP homepage, checking for news on Bionicle. And, of course, I spotted the Blog of the Week article (although the title was a little hard to read at first).
C'mon, everybody, lets all happy-dance! You're Awesome got BotW!
A big thanks to members who read and

Ah, school's finally over for the break! Me so happy .
Yeah, I saw the Blue Man Group tonight. The show is very...creative. Very good. The toilet paper thing at the end is quite an experience. I invite others to comment on the show for those who have seen it. Especially if you were a...victim .
I've been to the show a couple times before myself. Last time, my little brother caught the jelly cork thing that launches from the table in the middle of the

Yes, I've really been wanting to change the title of this blog for a while now. It's old, it's stale, and it was never really that good. So I'll come up with something new. You'll see.

Is it not remarkable what ancient men left behind on earth to teach us?
This ancient pictograph was recently uncovered in the caves of Nottinghamshire, England. Researchers at Oxford University confirmed it to be a depiction of a primitive blog entry, much like the one seen here. But wait -- the enlightening parallels between ancient and modern humans do not stop there. Just as the simple painting above was signed "Gorak first hunt," so too did this blog entry

Lend me your approval!
Thank you to Varaka for inspiring me to start a content block for blog approvals. Now I need it to grow. So yeah, if you're happy with this blog, I encourage you to drop your approval image in the comments. Or you can clap your hands, but that's not as fun.
Thank youuuuu.

This is something I "discovered" a while ago, and it seems that it would be something rather interesting to post.
Link
The above link is the list of results that you get when you search books on Amazon.com. Yes, first you have the LEGO BIONICLE books sold through Scholastic, but there are way more results than that if you look further (like page 5 further). Amazon not only searches book titles, but excerpts from books as well. And if you look at those excerpts (

Lacking in something in my current life to write about today -- except for the fact that the Bears are going to the Super Bowl -- I present you my third Bionicle Legends mini-review, on City of the Lost.
Like any book that has a decent sense of order to it, this book starts the 2007 story from the beginning: the defeat of the Barraki 80,000 years ago. My only complaint is that this wonderful scene was a tad brief, but I suppose it was better to resolve backstory qu

BIONICLE Legends #4: Legacy of Evil -- in my opinion, it is by far the BEST Bionicle book yet. Read the book and be enlightened to all of the true events behind BIONICLE 2006! Do not think you can get the story without it! It has a beautiful plot that stretches over seven-thousand years of storyline, and in the end it gives you perspective on the Piraka that you would not have expected before. It reveals many things: what the Makoki stone, makoki being Matoran for "k

As of last Tuesday, I own the Piraka Stronghold, Thulox, Dekar, Defilak, and Thulox.
For some reason -- we definitely didn't order it -- they were extra nice and threw in a couple of base plates in the package at no charge. Mistake?
I'm not complaining. It kinda makes up for the lousy shipping service all year .

Boxes for the small sets are clearly getting bigger year by year.

Definition
At the time of 80,000 years ago, Barraki was an archaic Matoran word roughly meaning “warlord.”
History
Ninety-five thousand years ago, as a potential means of maintaining order in the world more efficiently, Mata Nui created six beings of power – Pridak, Kalmah, Carapar, Mantax, Ehlek, and Takadox – each of a different race – and made them dictatorial rulers of small territories. Naturally, each of these six became dissatisfied with the amount of power given to them and built u
