And
Trogdor smote The Geese
February 26
Presenting the official Johnny
Driggs (aka El Cid) Capcom vs. SNK card.
And all was laid to
burnination.
Credit should be
directed towards Indigo of Rablade
who, you know, actually made the thing. The card
is based on Geese's from Card Fighters Clash, a fact
that fills me with an unreasonable pride.
Basketball
February 24
Church basketball season ended
this weekend, something that fills me with great disappointment.
Not at the team, of course, though there would certainly
be room for that if you're one of those gung-ho, gotta
win types.
The league was designed for 12-18
year olds, which really means 16-20 year olds.
However, besides myself, my own entire team consisted of
kids under the age of 14, most of them twelve.
Sometimes we could only play four players. Despite
our general inability to win, the season was a complete
success, insomuch that played basketball.
On that note, it amazes me that
BYU isn't a basketball powerhouse. I mean, most of
these kids belong to a church which builds basketball
courts into their chapels. I have no idea where
this whole football thing comes about.
(Note: Special precaution should
be taken into account when describing church sponsored
basketball and Mormonball.
Mormonball is an
amalgamation of rugby and basketball and employs a
complex system of flirting with girls in order to
increase the size of your team.)
Bleased

Normally you wouldn't expect
learning a new language would factor detrimentally into
your native tongue, but I've got the sneaking suspicion
that taking Japanese for two years has robbed me of my
ability to differentiate between the letters b and
p. In Ninhongo, the difference between the two
sounds is the basically
adding a quotation mark versus a degree sign on a symbol
that begins with h. Naturally, it's easy to get
the two confused when reading Japanese, but this
difficulty seems to have jumped over into English.
My school papers often contain
words like "blease," "poth," "bencil,"
or "pring" which either have to be erased and
written again, or when using a pen, by writing on top of
the letter and creating some sort of mutant letter in
the process.
I have no idea if this sort of
thing is common, or whether it is permanent, but one
thing's for certain: it's bropably going to reflect negatively
on my AB exam babers.
UNIFY!
February 19
Yeah, I've been kind of busy
coming up with a Unifying Universal Constant Theory for
Capcom,
which will hopefully explain the purpose of the universe
and figure out the continuity in the Megaman games. Plus I really wanted people to see that
100th comic.
So Joe wants readers to spread
the word on Pickle
Jar, eh? How interesting that he'd ask us to
mention Pickle
Jar, Pickle
Jar being the comic which he makes. Yes, it is
quite interesting indeed that he'd ask us to link to Pickle
Jar.
Yeah, I might link to Pickle
Jar. I just might. But I think I'll make
it more interesting and link to Pickle
Jar if he gave me something in return. Like
fan art. Or candy. Or some sort of candy fan
art.
Yup, that would make me link to Pickle
Jar.

I'm just using this post to tell
everyone searching for Metroid or Zelda sprite sheets
that I'm posting my 100th comic on the eighth and I'd
appreciate it if you went and saw
it.
Would
you like some cheese with that?

I'm a trusting person, but my
tolerance is stretched to its limits when it comes to a
lot LiveJournals. Whiney Teen F2-8231 usually spends
five paragraphs each day whining how her parents make
her work too hard. Now, common consensus would
tell us that this person is an attention starved,
affluent, psuedo-rebellious youth who needs to get chis
head screwed on strait. The thing is, what if this
kid's parents really are amoral humans with no sense of
responsibility towards their children?
I think I'll just assume they're
full of it for now. It makes it a lot easier for
me.
The
local element
February 4
If there's one thing that you can
count on about life in Las Vegas, it's that if there's
ever a crime that warrants national press coverage, it
will have a local connection. The Oklahoma City bombing:
a local connection. The DC snipers: a local
connection. The Enron debacle: a local
connection. Even the Taliban carried out some of
their planning in Las Vegas. The Taliban.
In Las Vegas. The city's practically
everything they hate about America, and yet they used it as one of their base of operations.
There can't not be Las Vegas
element to every single major crime committed in the
United States. It just can't happen. So
while everyone else in the nation is actually paying
attention to the event itself, the news here mentions
what local dealership they bought their guns from.
Nothing has happened recently
that would cause me to tell you this, but I just thought
of it now.

In an continuing effort to make
this site harder to redesign if I ever get around to it,
I present you with this article.
This may be continued or amended
at a later date, so watch out for that or something.
