    * Rushes In*

    By Laka,

    I'm back, BZP! I don't know how many of you noticed, but I haven't been online since Sunday. I was on vacation in Orlando. I'll try to get up some pics this weekend, but I'll give you some highlights.
     
    Seaworld~ Pretty fun. If you go, you have to see 'Clyde and Seamore take Pirate Island'. Probably the most fun thing there.
     
    Universal Islands of Adventure~ Insanely fun. Loved it. Spider-Man was worth the 35minute wait. Got some pretty cool stuff in the Lost Continent. A nice coin necklace. I also got myself a pretty little dagger. It won't get here for a few weeks, though.... In the same shop that I got my dagger, I saw some nice weapons. There was a Link shield, LOTR stuff, and Wood and Metal Buster swords from FF. Took some pics of those.
     
    Vote for me in Poll J! Artohk FTW! Check out my Tahu Nuva 2008 MOC. It's somewhere in BBC. You could also vote for me in Blue Diamond's contest, too. Greater Slappy Fly.
     
    Can't think of anything else to say.

    -------/------ Needed!

    By Laka,

    Does anyone have some nice clear pics of the ------? More specifically -------? Movie pics, that is. I could use them. Post 'em here if you've got 'em.

    EDIT: Got 'em!

    How To Win A Bbcc!

    By Laka,

    Yeah, this entry will tell you how to win a BBCC*. I'll give a few short rules.
     
    1) Appearance is everything. Make sure your MOC looks good, and it has an appealing pose. Custom is good, but make sure it isn't too cluttered.
    2) Appearance is everything. Make sure your entry picture has good lighting, and text is also nice.
    3) Post a topic for your entry. This gives other members more time to look at your entry. This can lead to different votes in your polls.
    4) Post a link in your signature. Banners, topic links, and picture links are all good for this. (Remember #2 for the banner ) Everyone may not look at your sig, but even a few more votes can help. Members can be swayed by other members that have voted.
    5) Post an entry in your blog shamelessly advertising it. More people will see it before hand.
    6) Be a well known member. Posting in different forums is a good way to do this. Just make sure you aren't posting for advertising. Also make sure that you aren't infamous. Friends will often vote for their friends**.
    7) Don't get stuck with any of the following: Seranikai, Roa McToa, Bigfatslob, ToM Dracone, Cajun, or Darth Vader. That is an almost guaranteed loss.

    *This guide is not guaranteed. There is still a high possibility that you will lose.
    **I am not promoting this kind of behavior. I am merely pointing out that it exists.
    *** These results are not typical.
     
    Follow these rules, and you could win a BBCC***!

    I've decided on my 1000th post special. I may post it tonight, but I might post it tomorrow. It isn't a MOC =O. It's actually a short story that I wrote a few months ago. It's about Takanuva. The odd part is that when I wrote it back in October, I was going to make a MOC of Takanuva for it. The MOC was going to be a 50/50 good/bad Takanuva. The creepy part is that the right side was going to be shadow, the left light. Isn't that what he is in the story-line? Lego stole my concept.....

    The Ides Of March

    By Laka,

    So, today is the Ides of March, also known as March 15. Some of you may know that this was the day Julius Caesar was killed. It's his 2052nd death anniversary. So, yeah. I don't know what to say.
     
    I need to add one/two piece/s to my character, and he's finished. I started working on the scene, and I think I can get it finished.

    Ugh....

    By Laka,

    I still haven't started my BBC entry >_<. I don't know if I'm busy or lazy.... I almost finished the character, but I need to make the scene. I'm probably gonna work on it Friday and Saturday, since I don't have to do any homework those days. Spring Break starts at the end of the day on Friday . I guess I'll cut it close again.... Ugh....

    OK, this is about Matoro. I guess it's more of a plea than a rant, but whatever.
     
    Recently, I've seen even more Matoro worship than before. Things like "Matoro gave his life for us" and "Matoro sacrificed himself to save the world, our world." I'm just going to say this. HE DID NOT. He died for a fictional universe. Not ours! I don't mind people missing Matoro, and them saying things like RIP Matoro. I do find it annoying when they compare it to real deaths. I can understand where they're coming from, but it's probably better to not post things like that. You may have good intentions, but a lot of people will find it offensive. I heard one post that was basically, "May the dead guy RIP even with Matoro". That translates to, "I hope your family member was just as good as a fictional character". I found these things to be sickening, and I'd like to ask you BZPers to please stop posting things like this.

    Ahh! The Coding!

    By Laka,

    Why do people "need" the codes for banners? I just saw a post in a topic asking for the code. Why can't people just right-click one the pic and click on "Copy Image Location"? Once you do that, you can just paste into your sig.

    1000th Post

    By Laka,

    Reaaaaally getting annoying. I need to post a special, and I have three MOCs that I could use, but I might use them in the current BBCC. I'm working on a new MOC, but it might take me a week to finish. *sigh* Suggestions?

    Kazimierz Pułaski

    By Laka,

    Kazimierz Pułaski! Thank you for doing whatever it is you did! We get a day off from school for it . The sad part is that no one really know what he did. But, in honor of "The Father of American Cavalry", I'll post a little blip on him.

    Yes, it's that time. I've finally started it. These categories may change. I'm thinking that I'll do different categories different weeks, but MOC of the week will most likely be a constant. OK then, on to the winners!
     
    MOC~
    I chose Draxon's Pyronok! I thought the overall construction was very nice, and the gun is just fantastic! Congrats, Draxon!
     
     
    Quote~

    Yeah, it's Tufi's fromt the first post in the BBCC #48 topic. I found it to be humorous. Congrats, Tufi! 
     
    Blog Entry~
    I chose Valenti's 'Please Read'. A very good entry. I feel there are a lot of people on BZP who should read it, so what are you waiting for? Congrats, Valenti!
     
    So, congrats to everyone, and I'll see you all again next weekend.

    Magic Day! Sparkle!

    By Laka,

    Today is that one special day that only comes along once every four years! No, it's not Leap-Day. I refuse to accept that as a real day. MAGIC DAY is it's officially not official title. In ancient Blurfinstill legend, Magic Day was the day when the Magic Monkey emerged from their hidden underground caverns and did the special Magic Dance. It was said that if you saw the Monkeys' dance, and you joined them, you'd have good luck for the next four years.
     
    EDIT: Whoa. I forgot. I was gonna start the ---of the week today. Maybe I'll have that up later today.

    Moar!

    By Laka,

    I needs moar comments! Noweth! In other news, I'm reading Julius Caesar for my English class. I can't tell if I'm interested or bored, though....
     
    I think I'll start a --- of the week on Friday. The categories I have are: MOC, Blog Entry, and Quote? Can anyone think of others? I don't want to do artwork or writing, though.

    Call The Doctor!

    By Laka,

    Dr. Pepper, that is. I totally luv Dr. Pepper Cherry Vanilla . It even tastes good when you're feeling a little sick (Like I have been for a few days). Am I the only one who feels this way?
     
    *Wishes that I didn't have MOCer's bloc* >_< (The mis-spell was intended)
     
    Check out my Tahu Nuva 2008 topic. Link in previous entry.
     
    On a completely different note, this is from Mask Collector.

    As I said yesterday, I have a Slappy Fly update! Yay! Anyway, here's the pic.
     

     
    What I changed:
    Friction pins: Blue to black
    Eyes: Glorok to trans lime
    Wings: Tips are now trans lime
    Tail: Added
    Feet: Hand pieces to ... whatever they are now.

    Well, I thought I'd throw my two-cents in. But, not from the point of view about the sets. More on their MOCability.
     
    Gali:
     
    Well, I've seen that torso waaay too many times. I probably have.... many.... The Metru waist piece is also nothing new. Some nice new wing pieces would make me happy inside, but I can live without them. The new shoulder pieces are quite interesting. I'll have to find a use for them sometime. The Metru-Blue Inika connectors will certainly come in handy. You can also never have too many Metru-Blue hand pieces. SILVER LIMB PIECES! =O Those are WIN <-(that's for you, Bunda) The new jet pieces are interesting. Not sure what I'll use them for, but I'll figure it out. The new blaster is meh. If it were smaller, I'd like it. The aimer part is cool, though. The mask: I'll admit it. I like most of the Mistika masks. They make me feel like I'm back in 2004. The wing pieces would be ok, if they didn't have the connection from the Mask. Maybe coming from the head. That would leave the mask extra thing free. Now, on to the cheese grater. I'm not sure what Lego was going for here, but I don't like it. If it was symmetrical, I'd love it. That is, if it didn't have the wings. The $13 price tag is making me unsure about buying her, so, <Possible Buy>

    Tahu:
     
    Torso's boring. The myriad of jet piece makes me happy, though. The Metru-Red Inika connectors are nice. Metru armor's getting boring. Silver Piraka legs are nice. I want those feet! His launcher doesn't seem to have the aimer like Gali. Why? The spiky pieces on his legs are interesting. I wonder how those could be used. The spinny-shield is cool. Another triple axle and new sword pieces? Count me in. I adore his mask.... Like I said before, it makes me feel like I'm in 2004. I will most certainly be using that. Making him <Probable Buy>

    Onua:
     
    Slightly boring. Gray and black pieces that I already have. I do like the red pieces, though. The new torso armor is also nice. The shoulder armor is odd. I don't know if I'll be able to use it. His launcher seems modified, but I can't tell what that piece is. The mask is cool. Could be used for a Makuta, or a Rahi. <Possible Buy>

    Well, there you go. An opinion on the Toa Nuva Mistika from a MOCist's point of view.

    Free Credit Reports

    By Laka,

    Isn't that the best website? J/K Haven't been there. The songs from the commercials have been drilled into my head, though. >_< Just wanted to let that out. I'll be posting an update of the Greater Slappy Fly prrrrrobably tomorrow. I would have, but B-Shelf wouldn't let me do it now.
     
    I wrote a poem expressing my earlier feelings, and I get to count it as homework . If you plagiarize it, I will hunt you down.
     
    Thirty second messages
    That stick in your head
    Jingles that plague you constantly
    Playing once and playing again
    "F-R-E-E that spells free..."
    Will someone please save me?
    I cannot stop them
    I cannot fight them
    I am powerless against
    Their subliminal messages....

     
    I edited the original title of this, because, I wasn't sure if it Violated the advertising rules.

    V-day!

    By Laka,

    So, yeah. I didn't really do much. I got a really nice card from one of my friends, and I passed out, like, twenty lolipops. I actually ran out much sooner than I expected . My day was actually pretty bad, though. How 'bout you guys. Good/bad?

    Don't ask about the name. I have no idea . It's for BD's contest. It's still a WIP. I'd say I spent around 10-15 minutes so far.
     
    Uno e Due
    That's Italian for "One and Two" for those of you who couldn't figure it out.
     
    What do ya all think?
