Bionicle's rules about elements and what genders they can be are like the racing spoiler on a Honda Civic.
At some point, you thought "what my car really needs is a racing spoiler." So you went out, bought the spoiler, and installed it on your car. They're not exactly naturally-occuring things: you kinda had to take the initiative on this one. Point is, you stuck a racing spoiler on your Civic.
Why? Because it gives a great performance boost, that's why! It reduces drag and increases speed
Once upon a time, I drew this.
It was a couple of years ago. The forum refused to show any signs of life. I was bored. I still had Photo-Paint. I believe there was some ridiculous-female nonsense in some forum or other at the time. There were no blogs, and I wasn't about to go posting it in the Artwork forum. At the time, however, there wasn't really anywhere else to put it. Oh, the dark days before blogs.
I wasn't going to post a topic for it because I'm not so fussed on the pictures them
Been meaning to see that for a while now, actually. Anyhow.
So there's this hullabaloo about the summertime canister-class sets being $12.99 USD. Outrage, 'how can they dare to charge that much', and so forth. All of a sudden, it is now a massive strain to buy the sets. The world is crumbling and things like that.
Meanwhile, there is Canada, as of 2006.
Hey. Guys. We've been taking the thirteen-dollars-plus-tax hits for quite some time now. We're still taking them (I think: no idea if L
Lookie here, I got myself a new minion this week. Yes.
Maybe this one'll be different. Maybe she won't try to usurp me. Maybe she won't 'mingle' with any of my other minions. Maybe I won't get so much backtalk from her. I'm still holding out hope.
In any case, I've got myself a genuine princess now. That means she's got a much, much bigger chance of becoming Empress should I ever kick off. Yeah, that's right, guys. You just moved down The List. Bigtime. No, Kex, getting yourself pranked wo
BBC IMPERIAL PALACE, BZ-Metru-
It was announced late Thursday night that a benefit concert will be held in support of Forum Assistant Smeagol4. The contest, known as 'Smeag Aid', will be held to raise funds for Smeagol4's inevitable and extensive therapy.
"I just figure he's been through a lot, even for an FA," Global Moderator and BBC Empress Latufia Piyufi offered as a reason for her curious generosity, "And believe me, if it's in excess of normal FA-madness levels, then it's pretty dang
A little poem thing about various puffin-Vahki, you see. To keep sharp and all that.
A is for Amy, her voice a great drawl,
B is for Beatrice, her tattoos and all.
C is for Coraline, more curious than wise,
D is for Desdemona, the throne in her eyes.
E is for Eleanora, a great drain on mood,
F is for Freya, the source of the feud.
G is for Guinevere, her pathways askew,
H is for Hecate, whose mercies are few.
I is for Imogen, destructor of polls,
J is for Juliana, far too fond of
I, Latufia Lunda Othella Piyufi, do hereby resolve for the year of Two Thousand and Eight:
To use fewer ellipses. Variety in punctuation is always fun.
To continue never bumping any blog entries. I will accept whatever attention an entry gets and live with it.
To not host a freebuild contest. That's the last thing we need right now. It would take, at the very least, three other admins and maybe a Global or two to make me host one. It's not happening. Don't even bother suggesting one.
So maybe I'm at a loss for titles right now.
And also at a loss for sig... I'm right on the edge of the ol' '100-post sig change', and once again... no clue. Well, actually, some clue. The current leader's a quote from good ol' Socials, but then I'm also contemplating yet more Elvis Costello lyrics... But then again, how many times have I borrowed some lines from him?
Okie, yeah. Socials quote it is, in all its glorious lack of context. Now to wait for the crossover to 6800. Woo.
To cou
I think I'm having one of those days.
You know, those days where you wouldn't be caught dead in public with your minions? When disownage is the most attractive option? Those days where you just want to grab a big mug of hot chocolate, curl up on the sofa with the List of Heredity, and take the red DQing Sharpie to a couple names?
No? That's fine. It's okie. It's not exactly something I'd wish on people.
In any case, that's the sort of day I'm having. This is what I get for building up h
So, after a recent round in heels, I got to thinking about some things.
Not that this is the first time I've considered this specific thing, however: oh no, contest #30 and time in Artwork have made sure of that. I've contemplated this on many an occasion. Often, a sigh is part of the occasion. Folks, it goes like this...
You do not go around sticking high heels on characters that need speed and agility, like, oh, say... Toa.
Yeah, so maybe most of you have no experience whatsoever with
Extremely shameless.
So I'm just about sure that I have every Katamari song that one can have. And, it is glorious. Even the music for the games I don't have. Funny how they had to release Beautiful Katamari on the one console we don't own. That doesn't stop me from loving the music, though. Gods no. Why, 'Katamari Dancing' is my favourite of the themes. Lately, I've mostly been trapped in a wonderful loop of instrumentals from We
So, uh, yeah. I should mention that I love this series? To
Now I know what I'm doing with this thing! It's so obvious now! I'll post whatever I feel like at that moment! Hah! No pigenholing here! Not for puffins! Exclamation marks! Exclamation marks!
... yep, totally going crazy.
An insanity which definitely isn't being helped by this little dilemma... Pure black dragon wings. The one colour I could ever ask them to be in, except maybe black/light blue. Oh, that'd be nice, too... Anyways. Big Batmobile with black dragon wings. Big, expensive Batmo
Let's talk about bad movies!
Cloverfield is horrible! If I were to list all the things that made it So Bad It's Horrible, I would be presenting you with a complete summary! Of the whole thing! Of its entirety! Scarcely a redeeming minute to it! Possibly ending with 'and camera work that's worlds more nauseous than it is dramatic'! That is a really bad sign!
I can't believe I'm talking about horrible movies! Horrible movies suck! Let's talk about awesome movies!
Bill and Ted's Excellent
I've done a bit of counting, folks. I managed to finish this particular count very quickly. Did you know that we've only got one female set this year?
Now you do. Remember this: it is an important part of the entry.
One female set. One. That means we only really have one female character in all the story this year. Yeah, yeah, so there might be those 'book-exclusive' characters. Honestly, folks, does that really make much of a difference? Not everyone's going to know what goes on in the bo
So.
New serial update, I see.
'First' canon instance of romance, I hear.
Sahmad's got a lady in his life? Wait, no, had. She's dead. Long dead before we ever got to her. Dead, nameless, and seemingly only around to provide angst for her living, named guyfriend.
She needs a name.
I propose we call her 'Fridgey'.
Imagine, if you will, a really big city. That'd be the island system of BZ-Metru. Now imagine a city within that city. Well, a few cities, anyways. In this instance, we're talking about one of the bigger ones. It's big, it's old, and it's beautiful. And I'm not biased, I swear. It's the BBC Empire. And it's mine.
Alright, technically it isn't just mine, but still.
Those that I do share it with, well... There's a few things I could say about 'em. Love 'em all, though. Don't get me wrong. I'
So what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna invite a guest writer. Well, okay, technically I'm just copy/pasting, rather than inviting. And it's probably not written by one particular person, given the nature of its source. And oh, what a source.
Guest writer go:
Second thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna look at Bionicle most meaningfully. And I have to tell people I don't give the slightest about the story. Ever.
Oh, it's always a good day for math.
I love it when people go on about how neglected they are because nobody's posting in their topic, often with the nose-eye-viewed addition of 'look at this topic with its horrible horrible art?MOC/basketweaving and how many posts it's getting insert implication that the forum is filled with malicious tasteless hounds here'. Just love it. To pieces. Well, actually, no I don't. At all. I lie horribly here. It's a horrid attitude. For one thing, there's nothin
So, as it turns out, yes this conceptual gun does have a bullet or two in it, punk. I have the means, I have the drive, but... I'll admit something. The actual writing part... I'm kinda falling flat on. I've got two or three complete story ideas, but that's about it. That just plain doesn't feel like enough. I know there should be more.
Why isn't that more coming to me and smacking me upside the head?!?
Which is why I turn to you people, once more. I'm looking for scenarios. I'm looking fo
In the first contest voting forum (the one set aside for the BBC contest), there are twenty-nine polls for two hundred and eighty-four entries. 284. That's a pretty big number. It pushes the boundaries of the English alphabet, in fact. This was the least of my problems today, but hey. So, I came up with a solution, and moved on to the more pressing things.
Polls Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. They've got a certain ring to them, don't they? I certainly like the sound.
Maybe I should do a full s
Three years ago to this day, a young girl was brought onto the staff(the ST, to be precise) shortly after being hit with a prank.
Three years later...
'S'all I'm saying.
You know how in a play, you only ever see the action from one side of the stage (barring any weird performances, of course)? Film and TV work the same way. At least, in theory. When you have a scene, all the shots should be taken from the same side of the action. For example, if the scene is focusing on two people on a couch, you wouldn't suddenly have a shot from behind the couch (or, if you simply must, then at least don't confuse things further by adding in shots from the sides and so on). Th
On UltraPuffinPod. A fairly fresh list: the data's only had a month or so to build up.
The concept is simple: a childhood with a noticeable lack of opportunities to listen to the songs I do love so has resulted in a young woman who finds the best feature of any music player to be the 'repeat song forever' option. Thus, highly skewed song play stats! Listed in order from most played to least. Gaze and be amused.
I Can't Decide - oh, Master.
The Way - old people ambling off to die. I'm a
So, about #47's state and it being cancelled and all that.
#47 was, and there is no nicer word for it, a mess. There were many critical questions that almost nobody could answer, not even the assistants. They know that it's not their call to decide such crucial aspects of a theme like that. The only one who could answer them was the host, Roa. Roa, however, was nowhere to be found. There was nothing that the contest staff who were here could do. So, the entry period ticked on by, many people
