Well, in any case, it gives me the perfect excuse to install that Seneca's Keep shark tank that I've always wanted in there.
Alright, so Ehksidian and I both thought that we might want to provide hints to the others partaking in the Secret Santa event. During a SS that my workplace had, my boss put up a sheet with our names on it, and we were to write down what we liked so whoever got our names would have an idea of what they'd like to get. Now, we have profile pages here, and records of our posts/topics, but that only goes so far, especially for those that haven't been here very long. Hence, this post. Here, thos
I hate starting the year on a sour note, but it's recently come to my attention that my second-in-command, Akaku, has left BZP for an unknown time span.
-.-
So, until he comes back, the Seneca need a new Second. Kini, Reep, Kagha, Japoro, and HN, if you want the job, sound off here!
Ordinarily, I wouldn't be blogging about a football game, but since it makes Seattle one step closer to the edge the Superbowl, I figured I might as well mention it.
... GO SEAHAWKS!
This time I'm not gonna spazz out over it; I'm pretty much reconciled to it.
Anyway, my mom and brother went bowling today -- I'm a bit rusty, since the only bowling I do nowadays is on the Wii -- but I turn out to be pretty good still. Zen, unfortunately, got frustrated with himself since he kept getting gutter balls and took it out on us (temper tantrum; nothing new with him but it does get annoying), which cost us lunch at the Rock.
Well, at any rate, I managed to get home and finish
That's starting today and ending on Easter, and it's happening in the exact same building that BrickCon is hosted in. Not going myself, but I have a TON of friends that have been gathering cosplay elements for weeks now, so they should have fun.
On a semi-related note, I'm finally set to challenge Cynthia in Platinum (hey, my brother borrowed my DS for months; can you blame me for lagging?). I'll beat you today, girl -- I've got a powerful team and I know how to use them. >=D
My great gamble on Ebay and my Kohrak-Kal ring is not going well. Two out of the ten days have gone by, and not a single bid. Granted, $35 bucks is a lot to start with, but ....
*trails off, unsure*
I'm starting to fall out of them, even though I've been staffing Kingdom Gaeabionta since it started back at the beginning of 2009.
It's kinda sad, really.
Yeah. It's going on now, and that puts me into a bit of a dilemma. Those that have been paying attention to the last three contests might know that I've been entering them with an entry called Broken Chains. (Which nearly won last time, but I yielded to Sisen so BZProvince would stay open.)
Some of my friends want me to enter it again (and win this time around!). I'm a bit torn. Any thoughts?
Any at all?
Last week's winner: Necro, who hit the answer bang on the head(well, mostly).
Answer: The man was a diplomatic courier and he visited the embassies of 30 countries, all situated in Washington. In law, an embassy is part of the country of the embassy and not part of the country it is situated in.

Nobody got the answer last week, but Sumiki was the closest, so he wins this round.
Answer: The man was the winner of the prestigious London Marathon race. He waved to the large crowd the entire way down the finishing straightaway and, because of that, he just failed to break the record for the marathon -- thereby missing out on the $30,000 bonus prize.

Despite my hopes that we would get a different winner for this round, I must've jinxed it, since Sumiki has won yet again, simply because his answer was the closest.
Answer: The man was listening to rock-and-roll music through his Walkman headphone in the kitchen. He had his hand on the kettle and his back to the door. When his wife came in, she saw him shaking violently but heard no sound, and when she called to him, he didn't hear or respond. Thinking he was suffering from an electric shoc

Answer: The police put up a sign warning people about pickpockets. When people looked though their pockets and bags for their valuables because of the sign, the criminals knew exactly where those items were so they could steal them.

Unfortunatly, no one won the last round. However, Munkiman's Rogue Gallery one was hilarious (at least to me).
Answer: A bus driver was told to bring 20 psychiatric patients to a mental hospital. On the way there he stopped to buy a newspaper, and when he went back to the bus, all his passengers had gone. So, he drove up to several bus stops, collected the first 20 people he could find, and delivered them to the hospital, where he warned the staff that they would all cause trouble and claim t

Answer: The German spies wore identical hats with secret information hidden inside the hatband. They entered the restaurant at slightly different times and placed their hats on the hatrack where they would see them. They left at different times -- each taking the other's hat.

Everyone this week had a good guess, and weren't far off the mark, but this week's winner is Exo-Fat!
Answer: During WWII, the Russians built a railway line over the frozen Lake Ladoga in order to deliver supplies to the city of Leningrad, which was under siege by German forces. Its population was starving and there was no means of supply from the Russian side other than over the lake.

Tifosi 92 wins! Taken right from his mouth:
Answer: The French rigged crooked pictures with explosives so that when the Germans came into the houses and straightened them, they would detonate. The Germans, as you said, had a reputation for being neat, and couldn't stand the sight of crooked pictures.
