The trans-orange Kaukau is a nice color but it's always bothered me within the context of Pohatu's masks.
 
I mean ... brown brown ORANGE! brown brown brown.

If I find a good audio host that I can embed, I'll be sure to post them.

I may have never actually seen you do anything in the blogs, but I know that we'll miss you just the same.
 
Best of luck with everything, Val.

I LOVE THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST THING THANK YOU VEEBS I AM SO FLATTERED

update: THIS IS IN ROTATION AS MY DESKTOP SCREENSAVER

I've missed out on almost all of my BZPversaries. The trick is to not plan anything special so you won't forget anything when the inevitable missing occurs.

...Am I the only person on this site who is completely ambivalent about the return of WILD WACKY FLAILING ARMS

Need I say more?

The color layering decisions of set designers have baffled me since around 2007.

 

Doesn't sound nearly as tasty to me as Bionicle Primal Soup.

Dinchfast: The Meal You Eat While Asleep

Honestly I'm much more shocked at reading the term "land-line."

With the Rays out of it (the injury bug bit hard this year), I've been pulling for the Royals. They play hard and manufacture runs ... it reminds me of my high school team.
 
All in all I think this has been one of the better postseasons in recent memory. Except for the NL Wild Card blowout, every game has been close or otherwise exciting.

You got a Mask of Power? Just add a little Energized Protodermis!



BAM!

band members are not to be discussed  >  >  >

I thought the entire thing was more of a big conversation than a controversy. I certainly came to realize new things and understand the world a little more complexly.

 

I've come to realize that many things I though to be immutable facts

CREDIBILITY = LOST

 

 

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT I MISSED

DAD GUMMIT

If you end up getting a B in either of those classes, you can pretend that it stands for BIONICLE.
 
Because it'll be worth it.

 

Proper spelling and grammar is instrumental in making your writing look professional for a work environment. Beyond that, there's always the risk of someone making fun of you for not knowing something.

 

I don't particularly care if someone splits an infinitive or ends a sentence with a preposition because people generally talk that way, but if someone's being pedantic or annoying, I have no qualms about pointing out their typographical and grammatical errors.

 

BZP isn't a work environment, and as nice as proper spelling and grammar are, some people are dyslexic, some people missed their education, and some people really struggle with spelling and grammar because it just doesn't come naturally to them. I'm sick to death of the snobbery I see about this, especially when it's typically coming from people who have A) no disabilities in that regard, B) their full education, and/or C) possess a natural abilty for that kind of thing anyway. If someone is being pedantic and annoying, pointing out their typographical and grammatical errors when it has little to no bearing on the situation at hand is disrespectful, because it's just using their errors as a cheap way of taking them down.

 

I'm not sure what I was saying came across, bro. I wasn't saying that BZP was a work environment at all, and by "pedantic and annoying," I had in mind folks like the person who sent me those anonymous messages on Tumblr a few weeks ago, who - in addition to spouting ridiculous things - had a particularly tenuous grasp of grammar.

If you're trying to make the point (again, against someone like the aforementioned Tumblr anon) that someone doesn't know what they're talking about, it's best to attack the points of their argument as opposed to just bashing them over the head for, like, not capitalizing an I or something. My mom does that - it's one of her quirks, but it's become one of my pet peeves. That said, if someone says something incredibly stupid, pointing out their improper grammar - while low-hanging fruit - can serve as a tertiary point, as if to say "not only is what you said stupid, but its stupidity is inherent in [insert grammatical error]."

Of course, this is not to say that everyone who doesn't write with proper grammar unintelligent or undeserving of respect and understanding, but if you make backwards arguments and have bad grammar, a) you won't be taken seriously, and b) 99.9% of the time, there's a common underlying cause.

Perhaps it was wrong of me to use this as a reason for mentioning the anon's usage of the English language, but in this particular instance I knew very well who was sending said messages. However, in the interests of not seeming pedantic myself, I'll keep this perspective in mind if/when I come across another situation where someone is spouting nonsense.

As we all know, BZP was taken over in 2011 by a contingent of colluding staff members to take down BIONICLE because they were bored of moderating. When the forums DID return, they mangled a once-noble site by turning it into the domain of social justice warriors that liked LEGO.
 
True story guys! I read it on the Internet!

Had to go back well into BS01's history, but I found the Avohkii placeholder name: Korusca.

The Phantoka were alright, but the Mistika were just ... no. No no no no no.

The Kal were awful because they were derivative. The silver joints were the only good thing to come out of them.

As for the Bohrok? Best. Sets. Evar.

I heard a variation on this joke where the double bass members of the orchestra tied the conductor's score together, making the punchline "the score is tied and the bassists were loaded."
 
Still a classic, though.
