    Welcome, children young and old. Gather 'round Dok's Blog--for once you've come, you may never go....

    Create a comic... that's it. There are three categories--sprite (not to be confused with computer assisted), hand drawn/computer assisted, and other (edits, photo comics, etc.). It can be non-Bionicle, Bionicle, epic, or humorous--that's entirely up to you. So the idea is to make your entry as unique as possible.

    The only rule? No random nonsense--pie, cookies, soda, etc. And anyway, if you want your entry to stand you, you would want to stay away from those anyway.

    To enter, fill out the below form and post it in the below blog entry (not this one), which will serve as a running tally of the participants.

Whether you think people will be equally excited by something they've seen before, however, is up to you.I reserve the right to disqualify any entry that does not meet the specifications.The contest is open to all.One entry per member. You may not switch entries mid-contest, nor modify your entry. If you spot a typo, let me know, and I will decide whether or not it would be appropriate to let you edit it.No random immature stereotypical nonsense.Don't mass-PM spamvertise your entry. If you make yourself a support banner, be sure it fits the signature guidelines.Discussion and questions should be posted in this blog entry. Use the below blog entry only for your contest entry.Prizes:
    To be announced. I do hope to have some goodies, though.

    Voting:
    Voting will occur in two rounds for each category, unless the amount of entrants is so great than an additional round is required.

    Unfortunately, due to the quantity of entries, I'm forced to split Hand drawn and Computer assisted and merge CA with Other. The categories are now Hand-drawn, Computer-Assisted, and Sprite.

    Drumroll, please... and the winners are...

    "How To Make A Comic Panel" by Tahuri "Hahli's Sixth Sense" by Nikira "The Great War of Theodosia" by Lehatu Michael Phelps Now, let's consider prizes. I would be able to mail out physical prizes, but I imagine many of you aren't comfortable with that, so I won't. All three winners will thus be receiving virtual prizes. Feel free to throw ideas at me in this entry as to what would be nice (potential ideas: custom art, custom avatars & banners, ghostwriting a blog entry of mine, etc.). The other finalists will be receiving something digital as well. Most of these decisions will be made by me after my vacation.  
    Phelps will be receiving his gold medal via email.
     
    Congratulations!

    Part I
    Written by: Spitty

    Scene I

    (It is a dark, dreary day. The sea toads quietly hum their toady tunes as they scuffle along the rough, barren coast of Iceland. A glorious mountain range runs along the right side of the sea-dwelling amphibians, while the sea occupies the right side.)

    Toads, toads, toads, toads,
    We prance along the sea coast like the Roman roads
    Toads, toads, toads, toads,
    We swagger ‘round the water while we wait for the server to load(s)

    (As the toads continue to frolic on the icy soil, a sound is suddenly heard. What could this be? Mr. Henkhenblimp, leader of the rogue group of toads, turns. What he sees is a ship approaching from sea! His Adam’s apple drops so quickly that the average American couldn’t open a can of Chef Boyardee in a faster span of time. The leader of the toads realizes that this ship contains the supposed-ferocious tribe of Vikings known as the Flargenshmop! Mr. Henkhenblimp isn’t your ordinary Little Bo Peep, and gathers his hoppy creatures closely and quickly.)

    Toad #1: Could it be?

    Mr. Henkhenblimp: Yes, fellow friend, it appears after finally finding the Fountain of Endless Toaster Strudels the Flargenshmop have returned.

    (Now, time for a little history lesson. Long before Kevin Bacon was born the Flargenshmop tribe had departed their home country of Iceland in hopes of brighter futures. However, there was a myth that drove them in their dangerous quest. The Flargenshmop people were once running very low on their rations of popular breakfast cereals. Seeking help, they consulted The Great Woolly Mammoth. Woolly instructed them that the only way more breakfast items could be obtained is if they rode on the backs of his mammoth counterparts across the Norwegian Sea until they found the Fountain of Endless Toaster Strudels. Woolly did point out that although this would not be cereal, but it would be endless and obviously last forever. Soon after, the Flargenshmop departed on their epic quest, departing with only garbage bags and two microwaves.)

    Toad #2: I thought they left for Toaster Strudels!

    Toad #1: Surely they didn’t grow tired of the ooey gooeyness only offered by Pilsbury!

    Mr. Henkhenblimp: I’m not sure why they have returned…but…(as the ship maneuvers through the shoreline waves, getting closer faster than a submarine after eating twelve sugar packets)…it might be best if we asked them what in the name of over-sized bed bugs they want.

    (The ship reaches land, and a single Viking appears on the bow, with a sousaphone pressed against his lips. He expels a breath of air, and a mighty bellow echoes throughout the coast, ricocheting off mountains, toads, and any community swimming pools in sight. Seconds after, a door opens on the side of the ship. Ten Vikings soon charge out of the hull like horses at The Kentucky Derby. Leading them out is their fearless leader, Fulifiluths! Riding his noble mammoth-steed Winkbottom, they cry out their song!)

    We are the Viking tribe Flargenshmop
    We fear absolutely no one!
    Its hard to get a tan
    Because there’s hardly any sun!
    The Toaster Strudels were quite yummy
    Their icing pleased the intestines and tummy!
    Don’t hear us wrong the fountain was flowing
    But the Pilsbury Doughboy was too annoying!

    (Gasps are heard by the tiny amphibian creatures as the Vikings charge right at them, but then freeze in their tracks. Fulifiluths leaps off his steed, and positions himself directly in front of Mr. Henkhenblimp.)

    Fulifiluths: Why hello there, my froggy friends! (The toads gasp)

    Mr. Henkhenblimp: Fulifiluths, why have you returned? Did the toaster strudels grow bland? Did the batteries to the fountain die? Is this real life?

    Fulifiluths: Uh…didn’t you listen to our song, silly eater of bugs? When we showed up, the Pilsbury Doughboy was there, and he was alright at first…but, oh…after a while, it just got too annoying!

    Toad #2: What? Please explain, oh wearer of fuzzy tusky hats?

    Fulifiluths: You see, he soon got this obsession with a genre of music known as “country”. And as you might have guessed, we Vikings don’t listen to such nonsense! We like music that talks about slaying and mammoths crushing stuff! Tell them more, Fretililiop!

    (Fretililiop is Fulifiluths’ right hand man. A tall, husky figure, he quietly moves to the front of the Flargenshmop)

    Fretililiop: It was terrible! Me ears have not had so much pain in my life!

    Fulifiluths: Exactly. So we have returned to Iceland to ask The Great Wooly Mammoth for advice again! Surely he knows how this epidemic can be stopped!

    Viking #1: And so we can enjoy the flaky goodness of toaster strudels again!

    Fulifiluths: Precisely. Now, Mr. Toady McToad, please let us pass, for The Great Wooly Mammoth is not far! (points to a glowing beacon on top of Mt. Ficklyfoo, not far from were the very strange looking group of Vikings and toads are gathered) We must receive his advice immediately!

    (As the toads disperse to allow the Flargenshmop tribe to pass through, a watchful eye observes the group departing to seek wisdom of The Great Woolly Mammoth. The figure stands on top of a nearby mountain, and he knows that the Flargenshmop are the only foes in his way from achieving… the secret recipe for Perfect Raisin Bran!)

    Cue dramatic music…

    TO BE CONTINUED...

    Well, I expect to be flooded out immediately by the tidal wave of non-Premier blogs and others who have returned to the newly restored boards. But nevertheless, I've been waiting to post this for quite some time. Enjoy.
     

    Part II
    Written by: Dokuma
     
    Act I, Scene II
     
    (The Flargenshmop Vikings moonwalk through the treacherous mountain ranges of Iceland as the sun sets and the Northern Lights come into view. In spite of the aching of their backs and the bedazzlement of their accessories, they press onward towards the Hollow of The Great Woolly Mammoth)
     
    Ho, ho, ho, to the Woolly Mammoth we go
    He’s not our foe, the Pillsbury Doughboy should know
    Hut, hut, hut, the Flargenshmop shall survive,
    We march on, for The Great Woolly Mammoth is nigh!
    Aaaaaa-meeeeeen
     
    (Fulifiluths starts coughing, then spits up one who appears to be none other than Mr. Henkhenblimp)
     
    Mr. Henkhenblimp: Why, thank you for so much for taking me along, good Fulifiluths. And, if I may say so, your quick-thinking in hiding me from the salesmen trolls of the southern march was brilliant!
     
    Fulifiluths: Why, my amphibious comrade, it appears we have arrived! And none too soon!
     
    (Before the group appears The Great Woolly Mammoth, also known as Sir Stinkeye Mammoofothigus, whose very sight strikes terror in the hearts of his people, not only because of his polka obsession, but because of his one extremely large eye. A council of baby Mammoths with angelic wings gather around him. The Great Mammoth’s back is to the Flargenshmop, and earbuds are in his mighty fanlike ears)
     
    Random flying mammoth: Ho, travelers! Who has disturbed our comedic brainstorming session?!
     
    Fulifiluths : We seek the pertinent counsel of the Woolly Mammoth! For the land flowing with strudel also flowed with country music! Your doughboy committed mutiny against us with his obnoxious playlist!
     
    (The entire council of flying Mammoths stop, mouths agape and eyes widened. One of the creatures—Herfeldooger, by name—approaches Fulifiluths quietly)
     
    Herfeldooger: Good Fulifiluths! Woe to you, for your inconsiderate ramblings, inconsiderate as the beak up via text message!
     
    Fulifiluths: Who are you, o tusked one?
     
    Herfeldooger: I am Herfeldooer, surveyor of primate aquatic breathing apparatuses and overseer of goldfish executions! What you have spoken against shall surely get you killed (or at least smacked around a good bit)… The Great Mammoofothigus loves country music!
     
    (The Great Sir Stinkeye Mammoofothigus turns around and faces the warriors of Flargenshmop, revealing his iPod and Charlie Daniels t-shirt)
     
    The Great Mammoth: Did somebody say something?
     
    Herfeldooger: Sire, these odorous Nordishmen! They blaspheme the royal genre!
     
    The Great Mammoth: Such behavior cannot go unpunished! This crime demands a façade of a trial and a speedy execution… or at least a good bit of smacking around!
     
    (The Great Mammoth sees Mr. Henkhenblimp sitting on the shoulder of Fulifiluths)
     
    The Great Mammoth: You…! Son of my honorable accountant, Mr. Tad Pole! You collude with these fiendish bath-haters? Flying elephantine servants, take this odious amphibian hostage!
     
    (Mr. Henkhenblimp is grabbed and taken away by the flying mammoths, who are heavily armed with pillows and other plush items)
     
    The Great Mammoth: Fulifiluths! For your babbling you must pay. Men of the Flargenshmop, hear me! You have but one day to do a great task for me, or Mr. Henkhenblimp will surely be smacked around a good deal! O’er yonder in the Mountains of Melodrama is the world’s largest raisin tree. Bring me its prunely fruits, and I shall at last be able to make the greatest Raisin Bran in the tri-state area! Go!
     
    Shady figure watching from afar: We’ll see about that!
     
    Cue dramatic music...

    *dies*

    By Dokuma,

    That's in slightly less than 17 hours.

    Right now, Nikira's probably thinking I got a taste of my own medicine.

    Also, last night I downloaded the most awesome screen saver ever. It starts out with the intro of 24 (the LEDs playing around on the screen, then showing the number 24--with sound). Then Keifer comes on and says, "The following takes place between X PM and Y PM," and the clock shows up on the screen. Four seconds before the hour strikes, the clock begins to make that awesome sound we all know and love, then it starts over again from the intro. And the best part? It synchronizes with the computer clock. 8D

    *wakes Up*

    By Dokuma,

    I apologize for my lack of activity lately. You know why I haven't been able to get on? I've been sick... for the fourth time this year. That, and work of course takes priority... as well as my college studies. But ne'er fear--the occasional blogger is here.
     
    Since it's been so long, I'll breeze over things.
     
    I know I promised a 30 Hour Famine entry, but it was several weeks ago, so I'll just say that I had a blast. And that I got to play with the band twice--once in an acoustic setting at a retirement home as a service project, and once to close out the service at the end of the Famine. Oh, and I was going to use the below image for that entry.
     

     

     
    So in terms of Green Tee things, I've been praying an awful lot and I believe that I should talk to her some time in the coming weeks, definitely before she heads off to college.
     
    Oh, and guys, if there are any topics of mine that you think I should repost that got wiped out, let me know. I can't think of anything, really.

    2008's Last Five

    By Dokuma,

    What's your New Year's resolution?What do you like most about this blog?What do you like least about this blog?At this point, let's all take some time to reflect upon the awesomeness of the new welcome image to the right.EVERYBODY DANCE NOW

    #10. Frequent entry republishing.


    Making it look as though no matter how many people update their blogs, I always updated mine last.
    #9. Lack of substance.


    That's what the other blogs are for.
    #8. The Tuesday Five.


    Five questions (at least one of which usually being a cop-out), third day of the week. Makes no sense, but you know you want to answer them.
    #7. Perhaps the most obnoxiously long list of blog approvals ever to grace your monitor.


    Do people actually like my blog, or do they just like seeing me put up their images?
    #6. Faliure to update.


    To follow the logic of Shakespeare, scarcity is the soul of entertainment.
    #5. Entirely lowercase blog descriptions.


    It somehow makes it better.
    #4. Television commentary.


    See #9.
    #3. You guys and all the other awesome personalities that frequent my blog!


    This would have been #1, but there are definitely two things that are better than it.
    #2. Girls.


    Sunny and I are not married, contrary to popular opinion. Did I mention I like Green Tee?
    #1. The Fruit War.


    Until it became an RPG and got out of hand, it was easily the most enjoyable war ever.

    22

    By Dokuma,

    I'm writing a spoof of 24. Called 22.
     
    Between Seasons 4 and 5, Jack ("Mack") works at "the sok factoree." His boss is "king at the sok factoree."
     
    Seriously. It's awesome. Just had to share it. XD

    30 Hour Famine

    By Dokuma,

    Doing it in March with the Youth Group this year (again).
     
    Our church is the second biggest fundraiser in the U.S. Yes.
     
    I made that logo because it owns. Or does it own because I made it?
     
    Like, is it a dude, or a rotated number? I did not, however, make the font. The font includes images of gerbils and hamsters, for what it's worth.

    A Gosh-honest Rant

    By Dokuma,

    I was just browsing on Maj. By the way, a word of adive, NEVER browse on Maj.
     
    It just amazes me how much time people have on their hands that they can upload so much profanity. Like I went to the bathroom at my local supermarket the other day and among all the profanity written on the walls was someone who wrote, "People are so rude nowadays... get a hobby." I agree with them.
     
    Do people really find it just hilarious to post an edit with a caption with obscenities on their Maj? Or perhaps our society's youth have been so brainwashed and deteriorated that now all you have to do is click a few timies to see young people taking profane pictures of themselves and uploading them for the WHOLE WORLD to see?
     
    I just find it aggrivating, and upsetting that it's so hard to avoid among today's teens.
     
    Anyway, the other news is I think I'll change my name in like two weeks to -Last One Standing-, but I might change my mind. Regardless, it'll probably be something completely unrelated to Dokuma or Sporks. And I got tired of a post signoff, too.
     
    I'm reminding myself of Kex.

    A Man Walks Into A Bar

    By Dokuma,

    He orders the club soda, and the man sitting next to him comments on the fact that they're both wearing the same shirt. As the two keep talking, they also find out they went to the same high school, were born in the same town, and have the same interests. The bartender gives the first man his bill, and he finds that he was vastly overcharged. He goes to the bartender to sort out the problem, and as he does so the other man steals his car. The man sorts out his bill but finds that the other man has left with his vehicle. Suddenly, a cat enters the bar, and amazingly, begins to speak.
     
    What does the cat say?
     
    Oh, and I guess I should do an Ask Dokuma Anything today. I'm too lazy to copy the banner here, though. The theme is the NFL.
