She is a Premier Member, has an avatar of her white kitsune persona, has a website and a LEGO.com account, as well as AIM, MSN and Skype accounts, lives in Washington, and likes Kingdom Hearts, drawing and Harry Potter, among a list of things. Alright. She last visited on the 6th of April 2012, and her birthday is the 8th of September 1990. Yep. Here's a kept banner. BZP Member List Trivia: There are (at the time of writing) 887 members starting with K that have more than 10 posts. Of those, only 85 have posted since BZPower has returned from last years upgrade. Another 1960 have less than 10 posts. That is a total increase of 45 members since the 29th of January 2010, and 240 members since the 4th of April 2008.

I'm amused how this could be read two ways.

So, you guys remember the Q&A Contest a while back? Well, yeah, I won my first BZP contest after all these years. So that was neat! And today when I got home I discovered this package in the mail, with contents as shown through the magic of photography below. Hooray! The Surgeon is pretty cool, I like the little X-ray screen. The Highlander is particularly great considering my Scottish background (in fact, if the tartan had some red, I think it would be close to the 'clan' I come from). Also my first minifigs of any kind in years! Probably none since this freebie that came with a LEGO magazine years ago. Anyway, I'd like to thank -Windrider- for going to the trouble to send this out to Tasmania, a world away, and for him, Velox and 55555 for hosting the contest! Thanks to the other entrants, some of them particularly entertaining and funny. Also thanks to all that voted in the two polls I was in, this was really cool, thank you so much. =D

It's time to get real about things. Yeah. Nytrone Nytrone has 1727 posts (4 Star Rating, 1336 Profile Views) and joined BZPower 13-October 08. He has an avatar and banner with Garrus from Mass Effect 2 (I think), the latter saying Calibrations (humourous?), claims to be in Virmire, has a LEGO.com account, and likes Generator Rex, Gears of War and some good slap bass, among things. Plus a good 15 (or so?) bands. He last visited on the 21st of March 2012, and his birthday is the 14th of August 1995. Right cool. Here's a nap-loving banner. BZP Member List Trivia: There are (at the time of writing) 363 members starting with N that have more than 10 posts. Of those, only 47 have posted since BZPower has returned from last years upgrade.

I like the way you think, kid.

That "Atta girl" smirk is the best thing in Act 5 Act 1. Without question.I for one welcome our new classy overlord.

Yeah, I kinda want to forget what this entry is about. But yeah, that's fun stuff there. And that acronym entry was totally not inspired by me making that post, no way.

That's easily the best part about it though! Roll over ALL the words! ...didn't I just do an entry about how stupid image macros are? Bleh.

Oh, OK. So...my old IE8 had me fooled into thinking I was a super secret guy? How dare it! I've been made to look a fool all this time! AAAAAAAAAAH

I miss how you could easily hide things with the acronym tag, but now you can always tell it's there instantly with that dumb black dotted underline. OH WELL.

I guess so. Though I can't say I'm really in regular contact with babies. Babes maybe. Actually anyone laughing often makes me laugh or at least smile. Not saying that's abnormal, but yeah. I guess that's why I don't mind laugh tracks themselves that much. Especially when it's ridiculous, like in my guilty pleasure, Married....With Children. It's just so absurdly over the top, it's great.

Of course I actually do...it just doesn't gel with the masses, I guess that's the problem. It's not like it's even that out there, it's certainly not twisted or anything like that (I hope???). But yeah, it's difficult to really imagine someone without a sense of humour of some sort. It's just whether it fits with yours, I guess? This is definitely where I feel my suppressed elitism rears its ugly head. There's just not a big enough emphasis on quality these days, only on the dollars and cents, not so much the sense. It's catering to the masses I don't take well to. And I get deeply frustrated by that, and I almost believe that people should raise their standards to meet it. But that's equally stupid and selfish, that's not how people work, and it's pretty insulting to judge their humour and tastes like that. Slapstick (or general physical comedy) is quite interesting. Again, when it's done well, it's really great. It was so peculiar that earlier this year that there was I think this 8 episode series by one of our Australian modern physical comedians, Frank Woodley, and it was quite refreshing to see such a simple and sweet show on TV, with maybe about 10 lines of dialogue per half hour episode. It's by no means one of the best things I've ever seen, though what made it quite interesting was the underlying tragedy throughout it. Good comedy does involve some sense of the tragedy of real life underneath. I mentioned satire before, and yes, very much for those reasons. Good humour/satire also makes you THINK, and that's often lost in the mainstream. Irony plays a huge role in that as well. Sometimes memes can pull it off, but you have to sift through a lot of rubbish to find any gems. I guess that applies to everything? Also sarcasm is the best. I'm not being sarcastic. But I often am to friends, and that's usually been my shtick with friends, though I mix levels of how deadpan I am to test them on how much they believe me, with hilarious results? Things are funny because the absurdity of humour has to contrast with the seriousness of life...or even the seriousness of humour has to contrast with the absurdity of life, however you wish to look at it. I dunno, being too serious is certainly a problem, but also you need to get real, and that almost adds to it all, I guess. I know that wasn't really what you were meaning, I get it, and thanks. Cheering up is definitely a thing I need to do. As well as not treat everything so cerebrally.

Long ago I used to think that I wasn't particularly funny. Then people started saying I was, both on the webs but more so in real life. And then I started believing them? And then I actually started to try being funny. And maybe that made me funnier to be around, but looking at how I am now, did it really? I don't think so. Anyway, the upshot is that I don't think I'm all that funny. I'm also starting to question if I even have a good sense of humour, which I've believed I've had all my life. Now I'm not so sure. Probably doesn't help that memes are terribly unfunny most of the time. I mean really, when have they ever sent someone into hysterics? I seriously question people who find that rather low production humour as ripsnorting or thigh slapping or whether it's even worth a good chortle as think it deserves. A smile at best, but come on. There's really nothing there to laugh at. It's like people have no idea on delivery and originality. Captions seem to have become the lowest and most puerile form of humour, which is a shame because there have been some that have been real ticklers. I guess that's the thing. A lot of the humour that is in 'fashion' on the Internet, in TV shows, in real life with the dumb people I have to deal with, is just so infantile. Crass. Crude. Generally stupid, not clever. It's like the dumb jokes that children made as children but now with added sleaze. When it's even a joke at all, sometimes it's just dumb little catchphrases and words that probably came from pop culture that have no intrinsic value at all. And no idea of delivery or originality, or more accurately, making old stuff your own. I don't know many of the people I know can do that, it's all heavily recycled, overdone, and just tedious and lame. And there's also a sense of egoism behind it as well. The humour I've always liked is self-aware, but also self-depreciating, so less egocentric (sorta) but do it in a way at laughing at oneself as well as others, without resorting to the depressed clown routine. The people I like the most tend to be those that have a good sense of humour yet don't have an amazingly high opinion of themselves, and that's what makes me laugh. Not this pathetic little jabs at things that ultimately don't matter and are frankly not worth making jokes about. Oh and there are also the non-politically correct stuff that's not handled well which is more common than not, but non-PC can be REALLY funny when done right, usually in the form of satire. Great satire is the gateway to my heart, apart from music, you have no idea. But seriously, this will sound stupid (actually, I'm sure this whole tl;dr entry has sounded stupid and totally incoherent), but for humour to be good, it has to be done seriously. There's got to be some genuineness to it to make it really work, like a little grain of truth behind what is written to how the author of a funny text actually feels. It makes it more human, and less mass produced. In an age where we are continually being more defined by our technology, it's nice to show that there is some human ingenuity and humour lurking behind it all and making it all work. Sorry, that wasn't the point of this entry at all when I started writing this. In a nut shell, I don't think I'm that funny anymore, and maybe my sense of humour, like my taste in movies, is becoming very elitist, the end.

Something that hasn't been talked about much in recent events, apart from how absolutely amazing it is DD is being this amazing, is the face he made on the Drollgorg page (<<<). That and Noir's face when he opened the pumpkin are just some of the most pricelessly tragic faces I've seen in this series.

It actually could. O_O (be awesome, that is)

This is probably the earliest I've ever done a random (it's still a Friday though), for reasons that don't make sense to me. I guess I'm trying to have a full day tomorrow and I don't want to break it up with this. So here goes. Lortaku Lortaku has 227 posts (5 Star Rating, 94 Profile Views) and joined BZPower 22-July 06. He is currently most active in Completely Off Topic, but used to be most active in Fan Created Games. He has an avatar of Pinkie Pie, and his location is protected by password. Probably. He last visited on the 13th of January 2012, and his birthday is the 15th of March 1997. Ides of March. Here's a limited banner.

Some people say that rappers are invincible...we're vincible.

What I'd like is a day where I can honestly say it was a good day, around 90% happy, 10% indifferent and 0% sad, rather than have a day that has some really great moments but they're only fleeting in what seems to be the general malaise of the whole day. A truly happy day, that's what I'd like, not a boring day, not a sad day, not a mixed day. Bleh, I'm so tired. Also not be such a downer all the time? Well this isn't helping, you COOL DUDE.

I'm sure many true Scots would be horrified to hear that you called Scottish an English accent. Heh, they'd probably still have a problem if you said it was a British accent. Sooner they secede from the UK the better, haha. One day I may make a trip to Scotland to see where nearly all of my heritage comes from. But have a good trip!

Whoops, yeah, forgot to say that I agree, it is so incredibly dumb, just about the worst one they could have come up with. Also I've never identified myself as a Homestuck fan, but an MSPA fan as a whole. Odd.

It's the difference between obsessive and not obsessive, maybe. Also the difference between obsessive and perverted obsessive. Also boredom? Yeah, it's all weird and disconcerting at times, these fandoms we are [unfortantely] a part of. All exacerbated by the spread of the Internet.

So I was looking at Xaeraz's entry about scary fandoms, particularly what dotcom was talking about how the word "Homestucks" is the worst thing ever, and it got me thinking. They're all pretty dumb, aren't they? Bronies, Trekkies, I can't think of any more. But all those names for different fandoms are pretty silly. And if there was one for us BIONICLE fans (past and present), it would be so unbelievably stupid. So yeah, an observation. I guess BZPers would count, but that's pretty silly too.
