To my dearest Brickfair-attending minions:
Even now, a comrade of yours goes without a figure of Our Patron Saint that he is owed. I should not have to tell you what a frightful state this is. Fortunately, he who owes your comrade Our Patron Saint will also be attending Brickfair. Serendipitous!
I will not tell you what to do, but I will simply let your senses of justice guide you. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, but do everything I would.
Kittyhugs,
Tufi
So, I have this blog. I also haven't posted anything in this blog for a while. I also also have this MOC. I am not especially attached to making a topic for it just to send my post count up a tiny bit. As well, the text and meaning behind the MOC would be more at home in a blog entry than in a topic. Therefore, the solution is to post an entry about it.
Rectification
As we all know, Bionicle is a subset of the general Lego realm. It also isn't an especially loved one (outside of the whole
So, some of you might pass through BBC on your journeys through the forums. Even if you don't, you should make a pass through there right now. There might be something interesting. Those of you who kick around in GD a lot might want to take a look. It's like a sweet blend of both my lands, this thing I'm hinting at.
One request, though: if you want to discuss the thing it's based off of, please take it to the very well-established topics for such subjects in GD. The nameless topic in BBC tend
It is far too late at night for me to be up. I have not posted an entry in far too long. These two do not make for a stellar combination, though some may present a contrary theory. Oh no. I fully expect to look back on this entry in the morning and make every attempt to forget it ever existed, short of actually nuking it. Why not go the whole distance, I don't know.
Yet here I am now.
Contest is good so far. Lots of people respecting the rules, lots of good entries, lots of love for the gu
11:59 PM on a Wednesday night. Board is still down whilst we try to work on things. I have had the urge to blog for ages, yet only now do I have the material. Please, folks, do I look like your 'entry-every-day-about-boring-boring-life' blogger? I should hope you know me better than that.
Festivus is the 23rd. That means I have two, three days to get it done and posted.
"It?" you ask. "Ah yes. And you've mentioned the idea itself for ages now. Why the sudden deadlineitis?"
Because I'm m
Exhibit four: random tablettings. Mostly formal wear-type things, some architecture. Also a random ninja puffin, for the heck of it. Haven't drawn a ninja puffin in a long time. Now I have, so it's all swell.
So yeah. Clearly this isn't the normal day-to-day wear. I can't imagine any of the stuff up there being suitable for work in the field. Still, sometimes the situation arises where you gotta look nice, and then it's time to somehow get the princes into their suits (back/front shown, for c
There's a word people love to throw around when it comes to MOCs, artwork, and sets. But not just any examples, oh no. It only really pops up when the subjects are female.
You don't get to be surprised that's what this blog entry in this blog is about.
I've seen some great female MOCs get posted in BBC. Streamlined yet well-armoured, minus the woefully out-of-place ponytail, and in footwear you can actually fight in. I often regret not publically recognizing them as they come up for just p
Exhibit six.
Once again, see entry title. Schizo seems to have no right/his-left shoulder. That's not the same brush I stumbled across so very long ago for grass. It's generally... I dunno. And I know I'll never get around to posting a topic for this. So, here.
Also made a wallpaper out of it, mostly because I've been staring at the same awful image for at least over a year. If you really want to see it, exhibit seven. Quite happy with the sky gradient, though. At least I have that.
So
If you'll look to your right, you'll see a shiny new content block. You get three guesses as to which one it is.
I've had the idea for a while now, but it took the suggestion of such by one BCii to get me seriously thinking about it. Now, here it is. Some of the stuff's super-old, and some hasn't even been posted ever. Not only has it all been gathered up, but it's also in an assumedly continuous order. Hurrah.
So?
I've been meaning to get around to this for a while, but here we are now. I've been sidetracked bigtime, folks. That's all you need to know.
BR's already talked about this a bit in the Reference Desk topic. Yeah, contest #42 started off as a joke. That's why the introduction is especially silly. If it was serious from the start, I doubt I'd have done it up quite like that. Anyhow, I posted it as a joke. I was kinda entertaining notions of just keeping it going anyway (I mean, why waste a numb
I think I've got something here.
So there's this forum, you see. BBC. Bionicle-Based Creations. With these people who staff it. It's affectionataly known as the BBC Empire. We're a crazy lot, too... well, you gotta be to deal with contests and all that other stuff. I daresay, one may even be tempted to call some of our activities 'hijinks.' They certainly ensue, that's for sure.
And I've become increasingly more tempted to write some manner of comedic story based on all this. Namely, the h
A brief one, too, since the longer I go on, the more likely it is I'll spoil something.
So I saw 'Snakes on a Plane' yesterday. It's a fantastic movie, provided that you're old enough (no encouragement to fly in the face of the ratings system here... sorry, folks). Don't go in expecting high cinema, and you're gold.
Anyhow. So I'd heard some things about how it was filmed here in Vancouver. Okie. Lots of things are filmed here. Lots of funky things. Wouldn't be too surprising. Thing is, th
So I change my avatar one night, see. So I post the strip I got it from in that same night, see. And before I know it, poof. Four instant copycats. Outrageous.
Argument #588 against blog bumping: killing the original post dates of entries
That's right, baby. I'm the original.
What's more, the two FAs in the bunch have their avatars set to 100x100. This is not standard procedure. I shall find that treacherous admin who granted this irregular glory to these mere minions and make him pay w
As progress should, lest it forsake the meaning of the word itself.
Exhibit three: random things. Half general BBC-ish things, half tablet practice. I think I'm getting the hang of this thing. Well, both, really. And messy Tufi-tablet-writing cheatsheet:
original shape
current shape

hate
strangulation

It's really really really hard to see in the picture, but the princes are wearing what sorta turns out to be tuxedo coats. They don't have either of t
First of all, if you post spoilers for book #13 of A Series of Unfortunate Events, you will face full modly wrath. Seriously. Not even in tags; you know people can't resist temptation. Every single part of that book is something that one should be first exposed to as they read it. I'd have killed if anyone told me any of the big things that went on.
So, that said, I'd just like to announce this:
I so called Beatrice's history.
For years, at that. Since the Unauthorized Autobiography fir
The location of a related picture. Oh, Photo-Paint.
Yes, yes, I'm alive, huzzah. Haven't had much to blog about lately, is all. But now I have the above to show you. Oh yes. Working on the people portion as we speak. That should be fun. Also conversion of the picture into a desktop. Cripes do I need a new desktop.
Oh, and also finished one of them stories for the comedy portion. Hurrah. Now to start on some more. Not posting that thing until I get at least three done, you see. Two to go...
Status: Dress rehearsal
Current location: Beginning of Act II
Note to self: drink water before standing in one spot in dress shirt and vest for ten minutes. Not a fun feeling, being ready to collapse on stage.
This thing's a lot funnier than Midsummer Night's Dream, which was definitely written by a man who defined a comedy as 'everyone lives to see the end and then they all couple up'. However, there is definitely a tradeoff... this thing's a whole lot longer. Takes us so long just to ge
The scanner lives, the card reader lives, the tablet lives. It is a glorious occasion.
And, to celebrate, I bring you pictures. You know, to prove I'm not all talk and no action about this. Which has happened far too many times in the past, I will readily admit. But not this time. Oh no. I have you guys to hold me to things.
Exhibit one: some manner of preliminary map. For starters, I wouldn't hold me to anything but the most basic outline of the palace, and maybe not even that. No clue wh
Well, there goes my fifteenth BBC contest.
There was a time (notably, the last half-hour of the entry period) where I wondered 'is it gonna be a full 300?'. With each entry added to the list, this developed into what one might call a curious fear. You see, prelims for approximately 150 entries is madness enough. Polls for twice that?...
Then it capped out at 290, and there was relief. After the removal of DQed entries, entries without working entry pics at the time of pollmaking, and a dou
What a fantastic concept indeed. And they're all mine, too. Get yer hands away from my ninja puffins.
And here's some now. Well, just three ninja puffin doodles, really. There's also a guy with a hat, a ninja puffin sword, random shark-thing, and a bit of Orthano going 'huh'. Still, there are ninja puffins in there, and that is what is important.
That is all.
(man, Othie looks baffled)
So three years ago today, I became a moderator. Standard blue-type, nothing too fancy yet. I go in Sets; considering the catalogue wounds were still fresh, a given. Movies and Books; hey, Mask of Light just came out, the place needed all the help it could get. BBC... I'd actually been poked towards asking for BBC, and since I didn't know what in blue blazes I wanted in terms of forums, I figured 'what the heck.'
Over time, I picked up Artwork and G&T, got assigned to Artwork II through th

1. You post a link to your entry picture in the post where you give me your entry info. You don't make me dig around for one in your gallery. You especially do not make me dig around for one in your topic. You are provided with a format for submitting your entry: it would be ever so nice if you did something even remotely similar to that.
2. You do not just give me a link to your topic and run off. I will only acknowledge your topic as long as it takes me to get an
Below is a large chunk of the text from my post in the official Pokemon topic. The list is the same, but some of the 'buffer' text around it is cut or altered, just because it flows better that way.
Understand that I love the Underground. Also understand that I have a ton of Combees. If you remember these two points, the rest of the post runs like the smoothest water in the sleekest stream.
In my time in the Underground, I have uncovered many items. Stones of all hues, rocks in varying for
