In case it's not obvious, Avohkah Tamer, Laughin'Man, and myself have been unable to convince one miss Turakii #1 Lavasurfer to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You have your assignments people! Get to work and SPREAD THE WORD! The more people the better! «TN»

You decide to JUMP IN THE DUMPSTER. What a SURPRISE. It was not an ORDINARY dumpster. It appears the dumpster was merely a SECRET ENTRACE to an UNDERGROUND GAMBLING JOINT beneath the GROCERY STORE. Should you 1) Report this to the proper authorities 2) Try your luck at making some money for yourself 3) Try to win money for the homeless bum outside «TN»

YOU are a ROBOT. You ACTIVATE to find yourself ABANDONED in the middle of a CITY STREET. You have no memory of WHO you are or HOW you got here. SOUNDS like the BEGINNING of an EPIC JOURNEY. An EPIC JOURNEY filled with EPIC DECISIONS to make. WHAT should you do FIRST? 1) Enter the nearby grocery store 2) Jump in the dumpster in the alley 3) Pester the homeless bum sitting on the sidewalk «TN»

So, I decided to challange myself today. We've all seen those "quizzes" where you answer a bunch of questions based on what song comes up in a shuffled music player. Today, I wondered if I could take three random songs and somehow invent a mask power that fits the song's title or theme. Here's the results: You Won't Be Lonely Now - Billy Ray Cyrus I'm thinking some kind of mask power that can perfectly emulate the thought patterns of an ally. This would allow the wearer to obtain council from somebody who is otherwise unaccessible. Perhaps even someone who had died. To Make Her Love Me - Rascal Flatts ........wow. Okay, how about...............rats. I'm stumped. I'd say it makes any target an ally except that the Avohkii kinda already does that. OH, how about it supresses ill-feelings between beings in a target area? Could be a potent ability. Closer to the Truth (Take Me Home) - Cryoshell I'm gonna go with a different kind of teleportation mask. Let's say it can't teleport anywhere except a single point that has been determined in advance. However it could be over a greater distance and without having to see the area the "beacon" was planted. Well, there you have it. Now I expect you guys to rise to the challenge. B) «TN»

As a matter of fact, I may go a little mad. Shoot, what I've decided to do is practically outright suicide. I'm going to stop playing video games of all sorts for as long as I can possibly last. My goal is to go until at least Easter. It'll take every drop of willpower I can muster. In other news: This "Career Exploration" class has proved somewhat useful. I've decided I just might like to pursue a career in radio. The question is, how can I get a taste right away? I've toyed with the idea of doing a weekly audio update in my blog to see how well that went over, but there's a problem with that. I live in a house with 8 other people. It's always noisy and even if it wasn't my family would most definitely make it awkward to do. If I talk to my computer for anything outside of saying "I hate computers" I always get really weird looks and comments if anyone sees or even hears it. I have yet to find a workaround for this situation as I'm never the only one at home. Certainly not once a week, let alone once a month. *lack of proper closing statement* «TN»

Frozen Coffee Drink Recipe: Tasty And Easy To Make
Takuma Nuva posted a blog entry in Obligatory Volcano Lair
Generally, I'm not a coffee drinker. It's far too bitter when it's alone. But I do love the smell and certain trace aspects of the taste. I wanted to share with you guys a simple recipe I love to use whenever I need one of those expensive-coffee-place fixes for cheaper at home. I know that a lot of my regular blog readers probably won't care much for this entry, but maybe some of you others will. This recipe will be for a caramel/mocha flavor. I'll list other flavor varieties at the bottom. Ingredients: 5 fluid ounces of chilled coffee (For non-coffee drinkers, maybe you could replace this with milk? I haven't tried yet.) Ice cubes 1 tablespoon (2 ounces) of hot caramel/fudge 5 ounces (weight) of vanilla ice cream Instructions: First, you need a blender (if you use one of those "Magic Bullets" it works too. Just make sure you have a big enough one of those ... cup-thingies). After you pour in the chilled coffee start adding ice cubes/pieces/howeveryourscome one at a time. The ice is the only thing I haven't an exact measurement for so you have to eyeball it. Generally what I go for is adding ice cubes until it gets to the point where the ice reaches from the bottom of the blender to the brim of the coffee level. If the ice is floating above the bottom, add more. If the ice is standing on its own above the coffee level or the ice doesn't shift a little without more than a little poke you have too much. You might have to experiment a little to get it the consistency you like if this isn't clear enough. Next, add your hot caramel/fudge and then your vanilla ice cream. Place the lid on the blender and use the "pulse" button to blend. Hold it for a while, pull up the cup and shake the ice chunks down to where the blade is, rinse and repeat. For those last couple stubborn cubes just pulse it a couple times to break 'em up. Of course, it's not gonna kill anyone to have a chunk or two floating around (unless they just inhale it). Once it's blended, pour into a cup, top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel/fudge and serve! (Or just grab the blender and chug it straight from like a SLOB MAN! B) ) Flavor Variants: Of course you shouldn't be stuck with just straight up caramel or fudge flavors! Experiment with different flavors of ice creams or syrups! A couple of my favorites are... French Vanilla Blueberry: Instead of caramel or fudge, use 2 ounces of blueberry topping and 3 or 4 of those little french vanilla coffee creamers! Whipped cream and blueberry topping finish it off nicely. Strawberry Bon Bon: Replace the vanilla ice cream with strawberry ice cream. Then use a tablespoon of chocolate flakes (milk, dark, white, doesn't matter) and a tablespoon of marshmallow cream. Top with whipped cream and strawberry syrup. If you like, you can also throw some strawberry topping into the fray for extra kick! So, there you have it! Lemme know if you try this and/or like/dislike it. I'd also be welcome to any other flavors you might try or even just think might sound good. «TN» -
This is something I've been considering for a while, but tonight just makes it the perfect time to bring it up. Anyways, I'm considering a temporary name change. Last time it was still Takuma-related and I only did it for the blog contest. This time, it's neither. Aside from "Takuma Nuva" I have another name I go by on the intertubes. Twitchy Rabbit Nose. Might be fun for a 45 day period, ya think? «TN»

Anyways, it got me to thinking. If you fellas (and fellettes) want me to keep up on my writing more, it's time that you guys entertained yourselves in my blog instead of making me doing all the work. Ergo, I've gotta simple game for you that's very easy. I'll name a person/character and then the next person who comes along first says what they think that character's Final Smash would be and then they name someone new (preferably something most people would know and preferably not pokemon ). That's all there is to it. Now I just have to think of something. Hmm... We'll start it out Bionicle-ish. What would Krekka's Final Smash be? <End Track>

Want to sound like the smartest cool cat in town? Using Takuma's patented (pending) Sound Smart method, you TOO can sound as smart as Takuma! All you have to do is tell your target audience the longest word in the english dictionary! ... For those of you who are among the general uneducated (or if you're just public schooled) the word is "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis". Memorize it. Tell it to everyone. Spell it from memory. Also helps to know the definition for when they ask for it. <End Track>

> Important < Regarding The Recent Spam E-mails
Takuma Nuva posted a blog entry in Obligatory Volcano Lair
So, I've seen this come up a couple times in New Member Q&A and I thought I'd put this out there for all you. It seems that recently spam e-mails are being sent to a number of BZPower members. Now normally spam e-mails wouldn't be a big deal. But I NEVER get spam e-mails, so it's given me reason for at least slight concern. Especially since I've received a second one today. These e-mails seem to come from some random person. It's not the same person each time though. The e-mail is, first off, advertising something. Seems like clothes and the like are the general thing. At the end of the e-mail is also a link to some "wto-store" website. Naturally I didn't click the link. One thing to note though is that the e-mail is decidedly not professional. If it was really a run-of-the-mill store ad, why would they be using such poor language? Below is a copy of the second e-mail as I've already deleted the first. I'm pretty sure they didn't say the exact same things though. I'll point out some note-worthy mistakes. If that's not suspicious I don't know what is. Also take note that the e-mail contained no images. Don't advertising e-mails usually try to use some sort of flashy images? Further, it does appear so far to me that it's only affecting BZPower members. BZPower is where I first heard of this and so far nobody else in my family has received any such e-mails. Just me, member of BZPower. Also, among the list of other e-mails this was sent to (meaning everyone else it was sent to can know see YOUR e-mail address) were some quite obvious Bionicle/Lego-related addresses, one such having something regarding the Barraki in it. I just thought I'd put this out there. Anyone else getting these e-mails aside from the ones who made topics in Q&A? If so, are other non-bzpower affiliated addresses getting this? <End Track>
