Kopaka's Ice Engineering

Optimism FTW.

 

Niki is happy that Smeag is happy. =D

 

-Nikira

KIE is happy, both that Smeag & Niki are both happy, but also for other reasons not directly related to either Smeag or Niki.

So much happiness.

-KIE, who thinks he talks in the third person a bit much

I'm the one with the facial hair. Does that make me Ringo?

Oh, and That Up There is what I like to see.

-KIE

I was disappointed in the entire premise: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade all centered around the quest for a centerpiece element of a major and/or historically significant religion.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull went all obscure-South American and I'm left thinking "what?"

They went to the well one too many times. If they make a 5th, they really should change the major plotline. Please.

-KIE

I plan to celebrate at a quarter to 24 past 1 in the afternoon.

-KIE

It was as if the Pens needed to be on the PP for it to be at even strength. Fleury won that game for them, and had Gonchar not actually taken the ice, Fleury probably would have had to score the goal himself.

-KIE

Not everyone that goes to a gym wants to be on the cover of Muscle & Fitness Kopaka.

 

~AA

I realize this, because I would fall into said category.

...and call me KIE.

-KIE

When I read through the books, I got bogged down with The Horse and His Boy, too.

I still look forward to #6: The Magician's Nephew.

-KIE

I PMed it to you.

 

Also, there was no BrickFest 08. There will be a BrickFair 08, but KIE is dealing with the Bionicle.

 

So in my testimonial with you I said you helped with BF 05, 06, and 07, because those happened.

 

-CF

Awesome testimonial.

 

And yeah Byron is doing the BFair 08. I am just gonna be a regular joe this year.

 

-Omi

You say that as though it were true.

Oh but no. You get to help.

-KIE

What is it with you and posting entries in dead blogs?

-KIE

*Puts jet boosters under car and flies over 25 inch deep pit of two-feet axle-destroying doom*

 

~AA

Ah, see, that's twenty-five FEET deep, not two feet-one inch.

Much more a hazard than you give it credit.

-KIE

I miss you.

I miss me, too.

*coughs at all the chalk dust*

Yeah yeah, if Carolina had an answer for Kansas early, I would've been on top.

Next year, my good man.

This year, the BrickFair. You. Must. Attend.

-KIE

Takes a special person to wear the red vest.

-KIE

I got to work 8 hours and drive 3 hours. Overrated.

-KIE

"This is your bat."

Quite possibly the most multi-faceted line in all of anime.

-KIE

Tomiku, Zulu was told to stop throwing coconuts back in the late 80's. They complied about 15 years ago.

For those uneducated, the Krewe of Zulu is the first parade in uptown New Orleans on Fat Tuesday, starting at S. Carrollton at the relatively ungodly hour of 8 AM. A Zulu coconut is a hand-decorated coconut that is now handed to select parade goers, and is often considered the "crown jewel" of a Mardi Gras throw collection.

You have to be REALLY lucky to get a coconut.

However, I did get some collectible throws [THAT WILL STAY IN METAIRIE] from d'État, so I don't consider the season a wash.

-KIE

Nooooooo!

Fight it, Smeag! Fight it with every last fibre of your being! Save yourself!

-KIE

Know what works great when being razzed by your parents about growing up?

Remind them of how much older THEY'RE getting at the same time.

It'll work for another, oh, 8 years. Get to it.

-KIE, who turns 29 later this year

It's been over a week, and no one has made an I Am Legend reference yet.

I am disappointed.

-KIE

It's about .hack more than it is UO. UO is just a very big anchor to this series for me.

-KIE

1) Translucent flames, like the ones that covered your BrickFest 2006 badge

2) I don't pay attention enough.

3) homage to Mata Nui (the island)

4) Organization is overrated.

5) BrickFair. Where I will be.

-KIE

But I like the faux-transparent look!

*clenches onto the old banner in a defiant manner*

-KIE

Not to mention Mario à la Donkey Kong.

Nobody said all. But even you must admit that some are indeed like "robots".

 

- Cee

As I said to Smeag, speak for yourself. Not all staff are open on IM. Quite a few aren't. There are still those that fit our description.

I've held my tongue thus far, but I take exception to the implication that some of the staff are like "robots" or aren't personable. One part of the staff screening process is a check for a sense of humor and personality. I myself have spoken with about 70% of the staff (and I don't even get to make the call on any of the "hires"), and I can say, with fair certainty, that we have no automatons on staff here. There are certainly people who don't have time to fully let their personality unfold here (myself included), but we are real people here.

Don't forget to macerate the strawberries before assembly.
