    My Thought Process

    By SPIRIT,

    Hmm, I think I should buy some tea.
     
    What kind of tea should I buy?
     
    Maybe I'll buy a whole bunch of different teas to see which ones I prefer.
     
    A varie-TEA pack.
     
    ...
     
    What have I become?

    That Awkward Moment

    By SPIRIT,

    That awkward moment when you're pretty sure you've Streetpassed someone you know, but it's so improbable that they would have a 3DS that you're not sure how to bring it up in conversation with them.
     
    Is there a lengthy German word to describe this emotion?

    Titles

    I mean, they're asking me for the information. How do they know I'm not Cardinal SPIRIT?

    Guys
     
    I think I found some LEAKED SCREENSHOTS from an upcoming video game based on Bionicle 2015!
     
    Here's Skull Basher and here's Skull Warrior. I'll post more if I find any. Should I report this to the BZP news?
     
     
    My thoughts:
     
    It's cool and all that Lego is making video games again, but I really don't see this one being that successful. Certainly not the sort of thing I would spend 424 hours playing.

    Hey everyone!

    By SPIRIT,

    Spiders and scorpions don't have skulls! They're arthropods, which means they have exoskeletons! The Skull Spiders and Skull Scorpio are phonies!
     
    Hey everyone! These guys are great big phonies!

    Kanoka

    By SPIRIT,

    Is it better to be feared or respected?
     
    I say, is it too much to ask for both?
     
    With that in mind I humbly present you the crown jewel of Ta-Metru's Duty Line. It's the first weapons system to incorporate the latest in proprietary Launching Technology. They say that the best weapon is the one that you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree! I prefer… the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dume did it, that's how Metru Nui does it… and it's worked out pretty well so far. Find an excuse to let one of these off the chain, and I personally guarantee you the bad guys won't even want to come out of their huts.
     
    For your consideration…the Kanoka Disk Launcher.

    So today marks 365 days of me living in Australia (in addition to it being Canada Day) and it's certainly been an interesting year for me. In this entry, I will talk about my average interaction when meeting an Australian for the first time.
     
    When Australians hear me speak, it doesn't take long for them to realize that something is awry. The more tentative Australians will ask where I'm from, but the bolder ones will flat out guess, which I always find much more interesting. To some Australians, I apparently sound either Irish or English, but those with better hearing can easily detect my North Americanness.
     
    And when they do, you can see the internal struggle on their face as they try to guess whether I'm American or Canadian. Ultimately, it's a fruitless exercise since urban middle class Americans (for the most part) sound just like urban middle class Canadians. Anyway, once they've gotten this far down the conversation, the Australian must make a choice: is he Canadian or American? It normally goes like this.
     
    "Are you American?"
    "No, I'm Canadian."
    "Oh no, I'm so sorry."
     
    Alternatively.
     
    "Are you Canadian?"
    "Yes."
    "Oh, thank goodness. I wanted to say American, but I didn't want to offend you."
     
    So yeah. Australians love Canadians and think calling us Americans is the worst insult ever. Clearly they are not aware of our reputation for politeness and easygoingness.
     

    Oh good, they have both of these emoticons.

    Ghost Clothes

    By SPIRIT,

    How do ghosts' clothes work?
     
    I mean, you don't normally see naked ghosts. They usually wear what they were wearing when they died. Does this mean their clothes died too?
     
    When I wear a hole in something and throw it out, does that mean I kill it?
     
    Or does it specifically have to be worn by someone as they die?
     
    Could there be a postmortem industry of getting terminally ill patients to wear many layers of clothing to help boost the phantom economy by ghostifying a whole bunch of clothing at once?
     
    Is there the slightest chance I'm overthinking this?

    Some are born great
     
    some achieve greatness
     
    and others have greatness thrust upon them.
     
     
     
    And then there's Bionicle, where everything is Great This and Great That.
     
    More like a Great Lack of Adjectives, am I right?
  15. SPIRIT
    Hey folks.
     
    As you are my very close and personal friends, I thought the very least I could do for you is offer you an
     
    AMAZING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY.
     
    That's right. You, yes you, could have a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest in greatness. If you can help me raise $10 000 (AUD, CAD, or USD -- they're all more or less equivalent these days), then I can sortofalmostmaybe guarantee all sorts of great stuff.
     
    Uh..
     
    Flash PSAs with Bionicle characters? You liked those, right? And how about another Bionicle in Under 2 Minutes? How about this time in 4 minutes? Oooh, or how about 1 minute?
     
    And uh
     
    Fanfics? Comedies? Movie spoofs? Text-based RPGs? Self-aware blog entries?
     
    You want it, you've got it.
     
    I will literally probablynot do anything for your cash!
     
    So if you're interested, drop me a line and you could become a great Patron of the Arts today! Put that on your business card. "John Q. Whatsyourface: Patron of the Arts".
     
    $10 000.
     
    Arts.

    An Open Letter

    By SPIRIT,

    An open letter to the people who like the things that I do not like:
     
    Get over yourselves! Who do you think you are liking those things? Have you no self-respect? Have you no shame? They say there's no accounting for bad taste, but you take the cake. I bet you even took the worst flavour of cake. You have formed your opinions on incorrect or incomplete information and I lament the waste of humanity that you have become because of it.
     
     
    An open letter to the people who do not like the things that I like:
     
    What's the matter with you? Are you deaf, blind, and completely lacking of all sensory input? How could you not like those things? Did you even try them? Did you even deign to spend an instant of your precious time to gain a greater understanding of the world before retreating into the dank, enclosed prison of familiarity? It's people like you that have been a thorn in the side of true innovators and prevent society from reaching its full potential.
     
    An open letter to the people who like the things I like:
     
    Where do you get off liking the things that I like? Do you think that makes you better than me or even just as good by association? I will have you know that I like the things that I like to a much more appropriate degree than you do. Your varying amounts of interest and disinterest across a variety of subjects have been poorly allocated and your poor management of this has brought ill opinion upon me by association. Perhaps it would be best to reduce any revelations of your opinions on these matters until such time as I can verify your qualifications to do so.
     
     
    An open letter to the people who don't like the things that I don't like:
     
    Keep fighting the good fight, we'll beat them someday!

    So I was at a party a few weeks back and someone brought some cheese. I was excited because it looked very much like the Camembert cheese I had enjoyed when I spent a year in France, but when I tried some, it didn't taste quite right -- sort of dull and flavourless.
     
    Some Internet research later revealed that the cheese served at the party was Brie cheese. Brie, as it turns out, is virtually indistinguishable from Camembert, with the exception that Camembert has more flavour.
     
    That's when it hit me.
     
    I have become a cheese snob.
     
    I have become THAT guy.
     
     
     
    Edit: Yes, the server burped when I posted this. We've all been there before, guys.

    I didn't ask for this... I didn't ask for any of this...
     
     
    I didn't want to go back to school, to be a student again.
     
    Writing papers...
     
     
    Cramming for tests...
     
     
    Using public transport with a heavy backpack...
     
     
    I wanted
     
     
     
     
     
     
    To be
     
     
     
     
     
     
    A lumberjack.
     
     
     
    Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! The smell of fresh-cut timber!
     
    The crash of mighty trees!
     
    With my best girlie by my side!
     
    We'd sing! Sing! Sing!

    The Facts

    By SPIRIT,

    So I've been compiling some information, and I think I've stumbled upon something big.
    Even for someone working at a Lego design shop, Swert has an inexplicably extensive access to Bohrok-Kal parts
    Swert recently acquired a WMKK
    Swert is obsessed with the Nuva Cube
    Swert's OC's element is Gravity
    Swert is a known associate of the voice of Gahdok
    Swert himself is the voice of Tahnok

    Quite obviously the Swert you know is none other than Swert-Kal!
     
    WAKE UP, MAHIPLE!
  22. SPIRIT

    Have you prepared?

    By SPIRIT,

    I just want to make sure that everyone here has a secret password ready just in case they travel back in time and need to convince their past selves that they are from the future.
     
    A good Future Password would be something that you have never told anyone, impossible for anyone to guess, and that would give you the greatest flexibility in terms of time travel (i.e. the earlier this password would work on you, the better). My own password, for instance, would let me convince all past iterations of myself up to 1995.
     
    Be especially careful about the first two rules. If there's even a tiny chance that someone could guess your password, that defeats the whole purpose. Because it is more likely that you will be a victim of an elaborate ruse than future you actually travelling back in time, you have to make sure your password is something no one else could ever know (I mean, this is just standard preemptive inductive reasoning, guys).
     
    Now some naysayers out there might be wondering why you even need a password at all. Surely you could just be like the guy from a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and predict some future event to show everyone you're telling the truth. Well that's a horrible plan! First of all, in the time all of you have been alive, we know how to predict eclipses and other astronomical events, so you aren't convincing anyone with that shtick. Plus, how many of your have memorized recent history? Unless you're an autistic savant, you're going to have to sit around for a while waiting for an event you remember to transpire. Complete waste of time.
     
    If you can't think of something past you would know that know one else knows, then may I suggest making a Future Password now? Who knows, a future version of you could be spontaneously appearing right about... now.
     
    ... now.
     
     
    .... now.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    ... now.
     
    Dangit.
