Ah, those times when people on BZP butcher the spellings of Bionicle names. Sometimes they're mild, sometimes they make me cringe, sometimes it's just outright hilarious. I've often thought about compiling a list of common misspellings so people can get them straight, but in the past I've never had the means or the patience.
Gee, I wish there would be a place for me to record all of those misspellings of Bionicle words and then post them to help the fans out when spelling stuff. But only guy

There occurs a time every year, always February-March, when I tend to forget about Bionicle and BZPower for a while and retreat into real life. This pattern has made itself evident over the course of pretty much all my years as a fan of Bionicle; it's a curious thing, but I do, obviously, get back into it every time. I suppose this is so because nothing really happens Bionicle-wise in these months, and also because I'm always faced with taking care of a dozen other o

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

It's a dual-function ability for his shield.
Every vote counts! Some polls, like mine, have lowish activity, so vote, man, vote! Thank you to everyone who has voted in the poll so far .
So yeah, if you like my idea, I encourage you to cast a vote for #5. Thanks!

I'm back home now. I guess I'll explain it again: I went the last nine days without an internet connection or television. Basically I was cut off from the media. And now I've come back to a world where celebs are dropping like flies.
As if Bernie Mac wasn't shocking enough.

Come to think of it, wouldn't it make more sense if the names of the three BIONICLE books series were switched around?
The current BIONICLE Adventures definitely should have been named BIONICLE Chronicles, as the whole series is for the most part the Turaga relating "chronicled" accounts of their experiences as the Toa Metru.
The current BIONICLE Legends should be named BIONICLE Adventures, as it is the first time in the storyline that the Toa really get up

Yesterday was my first day of school. And I can tell you, even in the "excitement" of starting a new school year , I didn't want to go back today. Got some new kids in my classes -- some cool, some not. And I still see a few old friends even if we don't get the fun of being stuck in some stuffy classroom together for 43 minutes a day. Some of my new teachers I could see right off the bat that they were all right, others are real pieces of work. Actually, some of my teac

Hey guys. Here I am, at 11:25 PM on the night before my semester exams start, posting a blog entry for the first time in several days. Sorry I haven't posted an entry in a while, it's just been one of those weekends where I'm not paying too much attention to my blog.
Just a summary of what's been happening in my life lately, both on- and offline: Semester Exams. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have three of my most rugged tests tomorrow. I've studied a bunch, bu

It's a big one, complete with an entire "Core War" section.
GLATORIAN
• On Kiina's personality: "Brash. Energetic. Impatient. Loyal. Caring. Stubborn."
• Gelu was aware that he had the potential to make First Glatorian but had no interest in the job. There is more money to be made as an escort than as a First Glatorian.
• Iconox gets Gelu's preference if he has more than one client for his services. Most of the work he does is for them anyway, because they are shi

Greg Farshtey is on hiatus, so I no longer have anything in particular to blog about on Fridays. It's a small load off my back. I'm gone this Friday, anyway.
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Not that it really matters, but in case it does, tomorrow I will be heading for the hills, so to speak, and will not be back until the end of June. I will have no TV, no XBOX, shoddy cell reception, and no internet access during this time. So the Farshtey Feed is off for two weeks. I will continue it as soon as I get back (that's gonna be a huge entry, am I right?). So that's all there really is to say. Me, gone, June 17-28...ish.
Thanks. Bye.

Ah, the good old days -- spent playing Pokemon cards on the playground. For all the time I spent with it and for all its fascination, the Pokemon TCG will forever be a part of me, even if my Pokemon days are long gone. And now my younger brother has given me a fun idea.
This is a preview for something larger at hand, of course. However many duties I have in the real world, I will always devote time to some sort of artistic endeavor. And when it's Bionicle, I kn

ATTENTION: There will be NO Farshtey Feed entry next Friday. The Feed should resume the next Friday.
SPHERUS MAGNA
• Greg: "Spherus Magna broke up into three pieces. Since the desert known as Bara Magna makes up the largest portion of this chunk, the residents of that chunk call the entire place Bara Magna. Outside of the mountains to the north, there really isn't a lot there besides the desert." • The GBs knew what was going to happen to the planet as a result of the
Toa Pohatu was a Toa of Stone and one of the Toa Mata. He was gifted with the elemental power of stone; wore a Kanohi Kakama, the Great Mask of Speed; and had specialized feet that could be used for precision kicks. Pohatu and the other Toa Mata were a part of the legend of Mata Nui, a legend that the Turaga of Mata Nui often told to the Matoran during the millennium between the Great Cataclysm and the Toa Mata’s arrival. The legend itself was spawned by a mix of common Matoran legends, the past

It's called the right lane.

Terminator: SCC is getting really intense; they built up a lot of plot this season that makes for great drama now. I'm proud of that show.
BARA MAGNA
• Mata Nui has a mask, which he does not know well how to use, since he has never worn a mask before. And while the mask's powers COULD be used to kill all the Skrall, Mata Nui would not do that anymore than a Toa would. Mata Nui is a champion of life and light and does not kill his enemies.
• Gelu did not retire becau
