The rain that started in Part 1 of the monthly random thread just keeps coming down. The forecast: cloudier, with scatter-brained showers giving way to torrential downpours.
(Thanks to Red-Tailed HAWK for the banner image.)
April Showers, Part 2
Continued.
Cool picture, Hawk! How did you make it?
this is odd. The random therd is below the newcomers therd.You can’t see the picure with out scroling down.
FIRST POST!
drat!
BWA-HA-HA! 4th post! (I think?)
I haven’t even seen Hawk’s picture yet. *goes to look*
So, what were we talking about on the last one?
Hey, wow! That is a cool picture! Nice job, Hawk!
Just random stuff.
Fifth or Sixth post!!! (I think) You see, that gets annoying.
Wow! I was reading that end of the word article by robert, and when I came back this was here! And I’d just seen the other thread. Shweet.
(GAPAs did you get my email?)
(It’s not as relevant anymore. But this is the random thread. ;-))
Haha! That’s funny…I think I’ll draw a picture, sometime, and send it in…can you get scanned images, GAPA’s?
So can anyone come the the Kokonvention on Sunday??? Please people….
Wow, getting my picture on the top of the blog is 8) !
The sad bunny I made a while back I made with the drawing tools in word.
This time I used “appleworks 6”. If you have a mac, and there’s that tool bar thing on your screen, go to the icon that looks like a paper and pencil, and click on it. Then you get a little window that gives you options of what type of document you can make. I used “painting”. At least that’s how I got there on my mac. I never even really knew what that did until a few days ago!
Anyway, thanks GAPAs!
Chad looks happy because when Koko throws pies, the rain washes them off! Sorry Koko.
Thanks for the compliments everybody!
GAPAs, it’s time to face the fact(oid)s. the Manga, Anime, and Graphic Novels thread is turning into a…GHOST THREAD!!! *gasp* would you pleaseplease pleeeaaase create a new one? (or else i shall attack! KAMEHAMEHA!!!)
10-Nope, sorry. WA’s too far away.
GAPAs, check your e-mail. I sent you a random picture of Koko that I drew.
Look at poor Koko’s hair! he can’t even keep six hairs straight. And I thought my hair looked bad in the rain!
Well, Easter break came and went. I still have a mound of chocolate. What did you get for Easter?
Well, now they say it’s only going to rain on Wednesday, and all of the other days will be partly cloudy, and actually SUNNY today! But it’s cloudy right now. What’s going on in your area?!?!?!?!??!? Heehee!
The Happy HAWK
now it’s at the top.good
ello people. ive been in belguim and paris (w00t for me eh?)
really good chocklit.
15–It’s really sunny here in CA. Then again, it practically always is. Unless its foggy. I used to go to this school right on the tippy top of mount maddonna, and it would get so foggy there sometimes that you couldn’t see a yard in front of you.
As for easter- there was an Easter egg hunt in my neighborhood but racoons or cats ar something got into half of the eggs, so it was kinda lame. And usually I can never find many eggs, but we then have a poker game and I win most of everyone else’s candy. This year we didn’t though, probably because no one wanted to lose all their chocolate to me again.
What is your favorite easter candy? I love Cadbury eggs.
Think about this-
I look at something, and say it is purple. How do I know that your purple is the same as my purple? Your purple could be the same color as what I call green, though you call it purple. How do I know that you see the same color as I do?
I was reading a book, and there was a crazy scientist in it. He thought that things only exist when you see them, and when you are not looking at them they disappear. To test his theory, he took to periodically bursting into his room and screaming, “AHA!” Soon, he got so crazy about it he would interupt dinner parties and concerts to burst into his room. I found it funny.
I also set something on fire in the microwave BY ACCIDENT.
Wack!! MuseBlog changes too much in too little time! I was busy yesterday, and now look at how much stuff has changed!
That is the biggest the Random Thread picture has ever been. Cool picture! I like Koko’s hair!
20- I agree. It’s all in perception. And that thing about the scientist is cool.
(20) Isn’t that called nihilism? Although I think nihilism is that nothing really exists…Anyway I understand what you’re saying because words are only widely agreed upon labels. I also thought that, but what colors we see is more of a scientific question isn’t it? Based on eyesight…this is all very odd.
(18) D: It’s been overcast for about a week where I am in California. But it’s nice and sunny today. ^^
18 – You got that right.
20 – That’s very interesting. About the colors. But I don’t get why the scientist thought randomly running into his room to scream “aha!” would prove anything.
20-Oh. My. Goodess. I thought I was the only person who thought like that! I was thinking of that exact thing the other day! I tried to explain it to my brother, but he didn’t understand at all.
This post is just to remind people about Museica. It does still exist!
YAYAYAYYAY! It’s cool getting a picture on the random thread. YAY! Sorry about that. We will now switch you back to your local programming.
It’s still going to rain here tomorrow.
^,_,^
..\../..
That was supposed to be a friendly bat, but he could come out looking scary or not even look like a bat. Anyway,
25- The “Aha” would be a triumphant exclamation when his room wasn’t there, because he hadn’t been looking at it. At least, I think that’s it.
26 – When I thought of that and tried to explain it to other people, they didn’t get it either! Only on MuseBlog would I find people who understand!
By the way, E2MB is short for Earth2MuseBlog, if you didn’t already figure that out.
20- I’ve thought about that beofre. But, because we all agree that yellow is a lighter color than blue, then there could really only be two or three tways to see colors, because they would all have to switch.
However, peole could see all things on different shades. Like one person saw everything paler than another.
Hmm…explanation behind optimists(lighter shades) and pessimists(darker shades)?
Anyone want to make up a sinisterly evil plan to unleash wrath on Friday the Thirteenth?
33- It’s also Blame Someone Else Day. The first Friday the 13th of the year. And my school has Twin Day then. It’s unrelated, I think.
Appleworks is the same as Paint on PCs, which is just a simpler version of Photoshop.
I celebrate Wester, not Easter.
17- I’ve been to Switzerland. My friend lived in Luxembourg for a while.
34- Then you can blame your twin.
30-Hooray!
34-That’s very ironic. I remember one day last year when these identical twin boys at my school both wore the same T-shirt. It said “It’s my brother’s fault”. I thought it was hilarious.
32 – I see relatively light colors, but I see darker ones too. Is that normal? Or would everybody say they are normal because it’s normal to them? GAAAA!!! This is a subject that can drive people to insanity.
39-Because you never know exactly what other people are thinking. That’s what intrigues me about the subject. n_n It’s sort of along the lines of what happens when I try to explain to people what the world looks like to me without my glasses.
This is completely changing the subject, but does anybody know of a good RRR that I could join, that maybe needs more writers?
They discontinued AppleWorks, and when I downloaded 10.4.8 and clicked on AppleWorks, it didn’t work. But I got a tablet which came with Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter.
now that we’re on colors..i’m going to dye my neon blue!!!!! heehee!!! my sis found this awesome website for henna dye:
http : // hennaking . com / henna _ hair _ dye . htm
except take out the spaces, of course. (heh. i have foiled the link detector.)
[Clever you. –Robert]
43-Don’t the GAPAs check the links individually anyway? Well, when there aren’t any spaces, I think they let it through.
My mom recently got tiger software for our mac, but I don’t know if that’s the same as what you’re talking about, kiki.
44 ~ htat’s Mac OS X Tiger.
41 (CM)- ilu for asking. It’s not terribly active right now, but when I have time, I’m definitely going to write more.

Is there really a warning after you post too many times too quickly in a row that says, “Slow down, cowboy?” Cause I can’t see it.
(20 Kermit) I love thinking about that. I used to try and describe colors wot my friends to see if they saw the same colors I did, but it never really worked. It think it’s cool that once you said that a bunch of other people agreed and said that they had thought of that but hadn’t ever thought anyone else would understand.
I set something on fire by accident in the mircrowave too once. It was a container of nutella that had a tiny bit of metal foil around the edges.
Wow, we can make hot pink bunnies now? I’m so behind… Museblog moves so fast these days…oh, well I guess that was what it was like when I first came on here too.
Did I tell you guys I went spelunking? And I got to see a lion being dissected. It was cool.
We don’t have a microwave anymore, but when we did, I never set anything on fire.
And E2MB, I don’t know about that, but I know there is a warning if you accidentally hit submit twice.
52-I think you mentioned the lion one time.
w00t!
NOT ONLY IS IT SNOWING, BUT THERE IS ACCUMULATION!!!
GAAAAH!!!
*dies*
54-Why are you dying? I guess that gives away what part of the country you live in. Hey, you’re on the other side, the one against the bunnies! Well, if you promise to be an honest Zemteean, I would send a few bunnies to rescue you.
54- DITTO ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGHH! DIE SNOW DIE DIE! *dies*
Horrible weather here too. Yesterday was so nice and warm (compared to today). today it freezing with mixed rain and snow. So unfair! and all last week its been freezing and snowing and if the cold weather keeps up I dont know what I’ll do. I console myself with fact that it is unlikly to keep snowing into May.
Whoa, the GAPAs moderated 47, 48, and 49? I didn’t expect them to do that.
(58) We consider it our duty to defy expectations every now and again.
I think I asked this on the last random thread, but I want to ask it again. My world history teacher seems to hate the internet and most other technology. Could we have a thread on the reliability of Wikipedia, Google and other search engines?
April showers=/=April sleet showers. And that is all I will say on the subject. Other than: GAAH CHICAGO WEATHER DIEDIEDIEDIEDIE.
54- it’s snowing here too… grr…
snow. @$%#&*%&@#$!!^%*)**&($#*^%%$!!! yes, that’s how mad i am. grrrrr…. >__
I just got out of school. It’s spitting where I live, but not snowing. Current temperature here: 52 degrees.
Museica hasn’t been destroyed.
April brings the sweet spring showers…
on and on for hours and hours!
My favorite ice cream store is open. But it is snowing.
37- But for Twin Day you get a friend and dress the same. I wouldn’t want to blame a friend. Besides, she’s in a different grade.
51- It’s if you post multiple times in 15 seconds. Exact details of message to follow in next post(sorry for popoing!)
“Sorry, you can post a new comment only once every 15 seconds. Patience, worthy MuseBlogger!”
Does something happen if you accidentally double-click submit and submit it twice?
“Sorry, you can post a new comment only once every 15 seconds. Patience, worthy MuseBlogger!”
Does something happen if you accidentally double-click submit and submit it twice?
Apparently not. Sorry for quadruple-posting popos. I really, truly am.
66) Speaking of ice cream stores there is this one icecream store near were I live that has icecream and every kind of candy iomaginable. They have cotton candy, truffles, chocolte-dipped peeps, jelly beans, licorice, and all sorts of old-fashioned candies, and really weird candy like chocolate band-aids or these tiny soda-pop bottles made out of wax. Then they have all sorts of random suveneirs and gifts-and just because it’s Easter they have these sugar-spun eggs with one side open with a little chick or bunny inside. PLUS its not snowing!!!!!!!
i love the icecream place down the street from me!
i love ice cream!
39- I don’t really mean light and dark colors, but shades of them, rather. Or maybe every ne sees things with different tints… like everything tinted blue or something, but yo won’t know yourself because it would be normal
55- Technicly, I am nutral on the matter of the bunnies. The people on my side are allowed to formulate their own opinions.
3 inches and still snowing.
Wow people are really getting a lot of snow! I heard on the news that where I live we could get up to one inch of RAIN.
20-that really aggravated me for a long time. then i decided it dint matter, and stopped thinking about it.
51-nope, not anymore
68nope, then it says sommat like duplicate comment detected!
asnd then sommat else i cant remember.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I STILL HAVEN’T GOTTEN MY APRIL 2007 ISSUE OF MUSE!!!!!
Oh wait. The mailman just came. Please stand by.

77-*suspense dies* Awwwwww…are you sure your subscription didn’t end?
Ven’s birthday is tomorrow.
Again, I would like to note that this is still Kermit the Tennis Racket of grnqween2011, I just changed again. I think this will be the last for at least 2 weeks.
I looked at the old World Religions threads. Are you going to add a new one anytime soon?
77 (E2MB)- plz to not pagestretch D:
plz to not green-text DD:
re: Ice cream- I live about a mile away from a Cold Stone and an Oberweis and a Starbucks, who have amaaaaazing coffee ice cream. ♥ Unfortunately, it’s not warm enough to eat ice cream. Silly snow.
y’know. I only just read The Rules just now. *cringe*
oh, and I just remembered…. (please, GAPA, MAP, OEAD, don’t zap this post!)… pwease
*cringes again*
.

*laughs hysterically*
OMG that was bad…
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
84- don’t let the snow keep you from ICE CREAM! geez… if i waited for no more snow i’d be still be i.c. starved in july!
NOOOOO!!!!
It WAS sunny yesterday but now it is raining.
I had a LOT of fun stalking the mailman this month. Once April began, I became so exited about the upcoming Muse that I wanted it the very moment it was delivered to my mailbox. So when I saw the mail truck in the neighborhood on the way home from school, I hopped on my bike and followed him. Every so often he would look back at me, and I would give him a BIGGG smile. And once I saw him slip the mail into my mail box, I would race up and take it out again and race back home, to see if there was a glossy Muse cradled among the pages to the daily newspaper.
P.S. GAPAs- earlier today I sent you a picture inspired by the dismal weather that came so suddenly upon my house, and featuring a rather dismayed Pwt. Can you post it?
87-That’s funny! Did you eventually get your issue? I’d like to see your picture. I sent one to the GAPAs too, but that was a few days ago. They really ARE busy!
(66) I’m glad I left Chicago before it started snowing. It was a balmy…80-something today. Nice day to get a sunburn (I did).
look… I know you guys asked for a no-thread-request thing till friday, but… could there, perhaps, be a Friday the 13th thread??? pwea-er… please? i don’t really know what we’d talk about… superstitions? funny stories of F13s past? pranks? but it’d be fun. please?
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
I would like to take my yearly allotment of random, irrelevant posting to tell you all that it’s a story about toasters, because that’s the only way it would work.
I love the internet.
From Dot Keet, in response to someone’s mention of Ukrainian eggs
from Cat’s Meow, who says, “This is a picture that I drew of Koko when he decided to try another instrument. It started with a guitar and evolved to a concert.”
Hmm. Guitarkopelli?
92- 8) ! Nice eggs Dot Keet! Cat’s Meow, how did you make that??? It’s so, so, so precise! 8) 8) 8)
Robert was up at three in the morning (eastern time)? He must be tired. *sends a caffeine-rich pie*
’tis a beautiful picture. Is the person in the audience possibly a cousin of Koko’s? He/She does have 6 hairs…
I have been “banned” from the computer for the month of April, because I cannot clean my room correctly (after I spent hours trying to fix it). And because I happened to slam my door. (whoops) So I probably will not be able to go on as much. My mother thinks that my “bad attitude” is something that I’m just going through. But don’t most people argue with their parents?? It is not just something I do, is it?? With my luck it probably is. Argh.
Cool picture!
Has anyone here ever tried Metariddle? I’m stuck on the fourth one. I feel so stupid because no one else seems to have a problem with it.
Try it. metariddle.com. Aargh!! So frustrated!!
Wow, I cannot beleive that I am up this early on spring break. *Yawn*
I am so exited about my summer vacation!!! My dad and I are first flying into the Czech Republic, where he has a week-long oceanographer-people conference, and I will either tag along to all his meetings and pretend to be very smart and pretend to understand everything, or I will be unleashed (alone) onto the streets of Prague. (Has anyone ever been to Prague? Where are good places to go and see?) Then we are going on a road trip all the way down to Italy seeing all the ights-Rome, Pompeii, Pisa, etc. Then we go way up to Katowice, Poland, where my aunt lives, and I will stay there for the rest of the summer and fly home alone. I will have to be FedEx-ed the 7th Harry Potter book!!!
P.S. GAPAs, can you please post my picture of Pwt?
94 – If you’re “banned” from the computer, how can you even make it on at all? I argue with my parents, but it really depends how often you do it.
Cool Ukranian eggs! Do Ukranians paint their eggs before eating them?
94-Probably just a crazy fan who decided to look like Kokopelli…you know how they are.
I love the pictures!!! Especially the Kokopelli one…:smile:
Oooh fast moderation…
The kokopelli picture on my monitor is too dark to see much of anything except the neon green letters.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MIYAVI AND OTHER JROCK BANDS IN THE WILTERN IN LA

FANKJGA!!!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD
Today is Yuri Gagarin’s birthday…. It’s on the Google homepage.
20- Sounds Greek to me. ^_^ I’ve also thought about that before…
43- Lucky! I wish I could….neon or cerulean blue.
51- Not anymore. I think it’s “patience, worthy MBer” or something…
92- Schveet.
100- Squee?
I did my English project today on the aphorism: “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.” and when I was finished, someone had apparently forgotten the holy source of the quote, and asked about it. Then some idiot goes “Star Wars!”
*fuming*
Anywhooooo yeah…
We’re supposed to be getting a nor’easter on Sunday/Mondyay. I don’t buy it.
*goes back to lurksome ways*
92- Melikes!
I got a new Tamagotchi. I lost my old one at my seder. But the new one’s just as KYOOT!
Oh, and check out the Wikipedia article on pieing!!
68 ~ i thought that it said, “Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!
BTW, awesome pic, Cat’s Meow. maybe try an electric guitar, and Aeiou as drummer. that would be rocking.
-HYPERVENTILATES-
FAENJKABGA HE IS MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD but no seriously he’s one of my favorite musicians, and since basically all the music I listen to is in Japanese, I don’t exactly get a lots of chances to see bands i like. OHHHIAHFAJG alice nine is igoing to be there too and Kagrra,. WHICH I NEED OT LISTEN TO MORE OF
-DIES AGAIN-
102-RESISTANCE IS USELESS!
“So why do you do it? The girls? The leather? The machismo?”
I saw Julius Caesar today…the Pittsburgh Irish & Classical theater performed it. ‘T was really good, though long! Has anyone else seen/read Julius Caesar?
94-wow. your parents are evil. i got te computer taken out of my room last summer because i screamed at and insulted and verbally attacked my parents. repeatedly.
On the Who’s Here page, when there are multiple names on one line what does it mean? Because if it is supposed to give all the names for one person I only have one.
my neighbor appears to be wandering around outside in a kilt and a sweatshirt. interesting.
94- “Bad attitude?!?” That is a phrase that angers me to no end. YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM! THEY SIMPLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ATTITUDE!!!!! *breathes, calming down* Aargh.
108- Me = big fan of that play
95- Well, I hadn’t tried it before, but now I did, and I’m stuck at lvl4 too.
95- I’m stuck at tutorial lvl 4.
108- I read it for school, and watched the movie. Not really my favorite.
111- Hahahahahahaha!
113, 114- Think about the title of the web page and the main character in the story. Wikipedia and google are your friends!
stuck on lvl 12 now.
94-w00t! Double w00t! Yup. I haven’t been banned from the computer, and I just got a new bookcase that really helped get stuff off of my bedroom floor, but my parents sure do think I have some problem. They also think I’m a perfectionist. Sometimes my mom thinks I don’t like her just because we argue, but it’s not that at all. But I guess hearing about my situation won’t make you feel better. *sigh*
Happy Friday the 13th, everyone…mwahahahahahahaaaa!!!
I beat the fourth tutorial in MetaRiddle. Twas EASY. lawl.
I think I beat the second level… not sure.
stuck ARGH…
I think I beat the second level… not sure.
stuck ARGH…
YES!!! I got it!
Oopses! Sorry I double posted.
I am now stuck on the fourth level. Clues?
oooh!! It’s friday the 13th and our dishwasher broke this morning!
sheer coinicidence?
105: yep, that’s what it says. I accidentally double-clicked the submit button recently.
Glassboro, I lurk on Museica, if that makes you feel better. Btw, have you ever had another name?
118: OMG I just realized it’s Friday the 13th! cool! Someone I know is getting married today.
I’m gonna have to go check out this MetaRiddle thing, although I have no idea what it is. Wish me luck.
HAPPY FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH!!!!!!!
mwah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
My mom was born on Friday the 13th…. ^_^
lol.
Y’know, I have to say, mom’s really lax about letting me stay home from school… This time it’s because we’re doing PAWS (ghghgh…. i hate these standardized tests) testing again and I past last time so I have free time in the morning… So I stayed home, cleaned my room (and found my long-lost (now fossilized) sketch book) and then promptly got on the computer. Mom apparently forgot that afternoon classes are normal.
*releases army of black cats and starts throwing mirrors at everyone*
116- There is no story in the tutorial. Also, I think that I know how to do it, but the computer doesn’t let me change the source code.
bwahahah.
The sage is back. The sage was grounded off the internet for a week. Its is raining. It was also hailing earlier. Bleh weather.
116- Got it! Thanks. I don’t recognize what lvl 5’s from, though. Problem. Maybe Wikipedia will help, or google.
129- You don’t need to change the source code (at least I didn’t), just the title.
131 huh?
Final Fantasy ROX!!!
Hey all Windows users! You know how Windows comes with 4 games, Minesweeper, Solitare, Freecell, and Pinball? Have any of you ever, like, got a really good game of the pinball?
I’m stuck on the 4th level and would like to know info on missions on the higher levels. If you haven’t played before, I can help you get started on the levels. Thanx!
134-I havent played Pinball for a long time, but I got really good once. It’s mostly the same, but it gets better little by little. That little circle lights up in the middle, and the sound effects get better.
134-I’ve gotten pretty good scores on the pinball game, although I don’t have it on my computer. What was your highest score?
how do u find the games? i have windows but i dont know where the games are
136-I dunno lemme check…. *checks* 6,525,826
137-You go to start, all programs, games, and click on pinball.
GAPAs, could we have another polling thread?
ok, GAPAs. pleaseprettyplease don’t block this. my freewebs site:
take out teh spaces, of course.
[Sorry, Shadow of the Selkies. The MuseBlog frowns upon posting addresses to personal Webpages. So I snipped.
— Rosanne]
136 – I don’t like to brag, but
20,931,500
I got that today, on Friday the 13th. I guess Friday the 13 ain’t so unlucky for me!
138 – How can you get 6,525,826? The smallest increment of points awarded is 250.
Wait, are we talking about 3-D Pinball Space Cadet here, or something else?
Big point secrets:
The 3 topmost drop targets are communication drop targets. Every time you hit all three, one light turns on and the feild multiplier multiplies all points you earn. For every light you turn on, the multiplier multiplies the points you earn by a greater amount. But hurry! Every 60 seconds, one light will turn off.
Feild multiplier amounts:
1 light- x2
2 lights- x3
3 lights- x5
4 lights- x10!!! At that point the points go crazy, as you get an extra 0 added to all the points you earn.
I have a warning to Urania (and maybe Kokopelli):
In Super Paper Mario, a magician named Count Bleck tries to marry Bowser and Peach, thus making a Dark Heart and creating a rift that will swallow up all worlds unless Mario can stop him. Since his plan didn’t work (or will not work, I should say), he is already looking for a princess-like person (*hint* Urania *hint*) and a evil warrior (*hint* Kokopelli *hint*), because this is what shall create the rift. Kokopelli and Urania, you may be able to run, but you can’t hide. Rest of the Muses and Muse editors and Musers, starting packing your rockets to the next universe.
AAAHHHH!!! I have become obsessed with solving metariddle. I am now totally and utterly stuck on lvl 21.
I can give help/hints to people who want to solve it.
129- Story as in the movie. The main character’s “alter ego.” I used the wikipedia article for that one.
Is anyone further than lvl 5?
Does anyone know the solution to lvl 13 of metariddle? I’ve listened to it repeatedly, and I can understand everything except the part that comes before .htm. A hint would be nice. Anything?
More big point secrets:
The three targets to the right of the purple launch ramp are mission targets. When you hit one, the comment sidebar will tell you which mission you will accept. To accept the mission, you launch the ball up the purple ramp. Then the comment sidebar will tell you what to do to complete the mission. When you complete the mission, you recive 500,000 points and you get some progress lights turned on (the 18 blue lights in the center that are arranged in a circle). When all the progress lights turn on, a rank light turns on (the 9 orange lights in the very center that are arranged in a circle). You have one rank light turned on to start with, but as you move up in ranks, the missions will be harder but you will be rewarded more points and progress lights for each mission you complete.
I have a long list of all the missions in Pinball, with information about them, such as which mission target you have to hit to get it, what you have to do to complete it, how many points you will recive, how many progress lights you will be awarded, and so on. I can post it, but it will add a considerable amount of length to this thread. So I wanted to ask the GAPAs permission first, and find out if you are even interested.
(As you can probably tell, I am obsessed with this game.)
I have more big point secrets too. Want em?
139 – Yes!! Can we have another polling thread?
The high score on this computer is a little less than 3,000,000 but I’ve gotten over 6,000,000 on another computer. *goes to play*
re: Metariddle: I prefer both notpr0n and Enigma, but to each their own, I suppose. Notpr0n is fiendishly hard, and Enigma’s more heavily reliant on cleverness rather than tricks. You also learn a lot about computers using it. Also, they both have forums that you can check when you’re particularly stuck. XP
Lyke, OMG! So I went out to dinner with the girl I’ll be rooming with next year, because her parents wanted to meet me and my other roommate, and at the restaurant, I saw a license plate that said “PWT.” OMGYAY. (It was an Illinoisian.) Had I had a means of taking pictures, I would have most definitely done so, although my friend’s parents would have probably thought I was quite insane and a corrupting influence.
Then, back at school, our “let’s-make-sure-these-kids-aren’t-bored” board had hired a hypnotist to come and do his stuff, and that was amazing. I was not hypnotized, but one of my friends was…LAWLZ x5234798.
I’ve got a game going right now. I have 4,672,500 points so far and I’m on the second rank (which is Ensign. The first rank is Cadet, then Ensign, then Lieutenant, Captain, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Commodore, Admiral, Fleet Admiral…)
Wow!!! Lota people posting lately!!!
Oh yea!!! Just completed the Bug Hunt mission!!! 750,000 points!!! Bring it on, baby!!!
UGH! I can not seem to get a good first ball!
Ok, I’m being pointless and I deeply regret it.
I asked my dad for help with lvl 13 and he got it. But now I’m on 15 and I’m having trouble.
I just got 1,800,000 on my first ball, and I almost completed 3 missions but I lost with two attack bumpers left.
NOOOOOOO! I accidently his F2 instead of F3!
Grr. The 3rd ball drained. I was on Ensign, with 14 of the 18 progress lights on. The score was 5,605,500.
Once I played 4 games and the average score was 7,661,625.
151 – Sometimes I get a phenomenal first ball, but then my second ball drains, like, right away. And I once got a very high score with a first ball that got only half a million points. The score was 20,343,750.
Try going for a skill shot. That’s when you hit the plunger only a little bit, so the ball doesn’t go all the way up the ramp. You can get awarded up to 75,000 points for a good skill shot and rack up points very quickly.
156-I guess it varies. *gives up on Pinball and goes to play Rainbow Sphere*
153 – I was once on 2nd level with 2 missions completed and ONE TARGET left and the ball drained. (On the Bug Hunt mission, you have to hit 15 targets. Commendation, Booster, Space warp, Fuel, Mission, Communication…any target will do.) Grrr…
154 – That happened to me once. On a really good game too. It downright !@#$%in sucks when that happens. It totally demoralizes you, so you can’t concentrate on the next game! Grrr…
This is bringing back some bad memories.
154 – Hint: press Esc instead of F3. It’s farther away from the F2 key and just minimizes it, it doesn’t shut it down.
The “a” key on my keyboard is wearing off from excessive pinball playing!
Pinball Wizards thread, plz, so I can begin to feel adequate once more.
I also like my random thread intelligible.
Maybe you could combine it with other such games, like Neopets or Orisinal? -<s Orisinal games-
dumdedumdedum…I want to have a conversation again, so I can stop feeling pointlessly guilty about my semi-pointless post.
(148) Did they try to hypnotize you, though? I WOULD NEVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME. The effects of me being hypnotized would be catastrophic. And lul pwt. I once saw a license plate that said WTF as the three letters and I lawled all the way home.
Um so basically I’m freaking out over here because my parents just gave me the okay for Jrock Revolution and oh crap this makes my life. This is ALL i will talk about for the next month…-ECSTATIC FLAILINGS!!111-
(148) That reminds me. All the dumpsters in my area say “PWT PWNS” in really big letters. I got really excited the first time I noticed it. I’m still trying to figure out what it stands for. I should take a picture and send it in.
162 (Axa)- Nuuuuuu…although when they had the pretty blinking light up on stage I was quite sleepy indeed.
The hypnotist made this one guy imitate Richard Simmons. If it were me I would hold out for anyone else…actually, if I ever get hypnotized, I want to run around acting like a combination of Chuck Norris and Gackt.
That would be the Supreme Deity in the Pantheon of Win, by the way.
-bites Axa’s skull off and steals her ticket-
163 (SN)- How mysterious! OMGALIENSSSS!!!1 RUN FOR TEH HILLZ!!111!!!!@!!
(163) THAT IS ACTUALLY RLY AWESOME oh whoa maybe ther are secret…MuseBlogging..gagsters in your area. OR SOMETHING. I’d love pictures of it.
(164) Richard SimmonsxGackt OTP Y/Y? THE MENTAL IMAGE.
163 – are you serious??? That’s so cool! You should definitely take a picture!
140 – grrrr…
I suck at Pinball!!!!
161-Since i was a young boy, i played that silver ball/from soho down to brighton, i must’ve played them all/i ain’t seen nothing like it, in any amusement hall/that deaf dumb and blind kid sure playes a meeeeaaan pinball
w00t!
ha, i remember when the GAPA had to tell me what the second line was…that was like a million years ago *feels old* good times
163-Mwahaha. Mostly Harmless strikes again!
I have absolutely no idea how to do metariddle. I am stuck on tutorial 4. I am completely clueless.
hey thats a cool rap
how long have u been on museblog?
yay mostly harmless!
I’m still stuck on lvl 4 on Metariddle.Just GIMME THE ANSWER!! *dies*
I had a dream I was Kokopelli. Wow, am I obsessed….
OOMMMGGG I JUST GOT MY KOKO FOR PRES AND HPB STICKERS!!! *sqwee*!!!
Just wondering, does anyone go to the Summer Enrichment Program in Charlottesvill, VA?? I just got accepted. I’ve gone since 06 and IT ROCKS!!
My friend Josh was on the cover of one of the local papers with the other two members of “Men Without Hats” (an ironic title considsering one of them was wearing a hat) They were all dressed up in their costumes for our schools annual production of what I will refer too as the gigantic dancing/singing/light show, GDSLS for short. They were wearing bright yellow construction vests and carrying traffic cones. Apparently, the number they’re doing for GDSLS is “Safety Dance” Perfect. And my best friend Molly has been assigned to a song called “Boogie Fever” This has so made my month.
173- Ooooooooo, GAPAs, how’d you let that get by?! Censor censor censor…
Anyways, I’m having a GREAT day! Kinda. Nothing bad has happened, so it’s a pretty good day.
Okies. I’m bored. What is metariddle?
171-was that all at me? first off, that’s not a rap it’s a song by the Who. i’ve been around since sept. of 2005. i wasn’t on the gaboomba, except for a couple instances of lurking+leaving. and yay mostly harmless indeed!
174-haha, sounds fun.
ebeth wants to go biking WAAAH. but she has to do the dishes.
It’s
“Ever since I was a young boy/I’ve played the silver ball./From Soho down to Brighton/I must’ve played them all/But I ain’t seen nothing like him/In any amusement hall/That deaf, dumb, and blind kid/sure plays a mean pinball.
Even on my favouite table/he can beat my best. At least, I think that that comes nest. I don’t remember any more.
TWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
163- Oooh spiffeh.
The Commodore is suffering from lack of Ren Faire goodness. I MISS THE REN FAIRE.
Zark, that was random.
Hey, anyone ever been to the PA Ren Faire? Just Google those three words. It is teh pwn.
*sneakily suggests that there should be a Kokonvention at the Faire this season*
I love that place. And now I’m off to dress in Ren garb.
It’s

170- Yeah! That’s where I am! Do you have a mac? if you do, press ctrl, option, apple, and 8 at the same time and you can see the real picture!
Oops! Oh well, I’ve figured out how to post the same comment twice. Not that I ever will.
No, I got it wrong.
Ever since I was a young boy/I’ve played the silver ball./From Soho down to Brighton/I must’ve played them all/But I ain’t seen nothing like him/In any amusement hall/That deaf, dumb, and blind kid/sure plays a mean pinball.
He stands like a statue/becomes part of the machine/feeling all the bumpers/always plays it clean/plays by intuition/the digit counters fall/that deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.
He’s a pinball wizard/there has to be a twist/a pinball wizard’s got such a supple wrist.
How do you think he does it?/I don’t know/What makes him so good?
Ain’t got no distractions/can’t hear no _____ and bells/don’t see no lights a-flashing/plays by sense of smell/always gets a replay/never seen him fall/that deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.
I thought I was the Bally table king/ but I just handed my pinball crown to him.
Even on my favourite table/he can beat my best/his disciples need an end/and he just does the rest/he’s got crazy little fingers/never seen him fall/that deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.
There. That’s it. I copied it out while listening to it, with loops on each verse.
179- no, but I’ve seen people who were going to it as we were driving through PA once. I go to my local ren faire every year though!
183- I think the ___ might be buzzers. And I think its “lead him in” not “need an end,” but I could be wrong on both of those. Otherwise, it looks good. How many times did you have to listen to it?
Ebeth and Glassboro, “Pinball Wizard” is my number one gets-stuck-in-my-head-for-days song and will now require a mental earthquake to dislodge from my internal soundtrack. Let that be on your consciences.
Julieb is correct on both counts.
Maybe. You could be right on both. My mp3 player has an option where you can select a particular section of a song that will play over and over, so I used that. I listened to each section maybe an average of 8 times.
186- :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ll try to make all of the posts boring, to help you get it stuck in your head. Of course, we could do the Numa Numa song as well…
Please, no!
My posts were cut. Why?
Because you threatened to post the Numa Numa song.
Oops, no they weren’t.
Oh, no. I can’t make my name green.
Rebecca- Why isn’t your name a link in the last two posts?
(193) Although you may be guilty of impersonation, the sentiment expressed is correct.
By the way, The Who is among my favorite bands, and I love the song, it just gets stuck.
(185, 183),
“Lead him in” and “buzzers and bells” are how I remember the lyrics.
One day in the life of the lonely
another day on the round about
what do they need
somebody to love
One night in the life of the lonely
there’s a miracle on the screen
what did they see
somebody to love
He guarantees you instant glory
get your money on the line
Gotta send me a plastic jesus
there’s a check in the mail today
that’s what I need
somebody to love
We just won’t eat on sunday
gotta buy him a limousine
somewhere to live
somewhere to pray
every penny from the people
keeps the wolf outside the door
shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
but he’ll give you more
holy father
holy ghost
who’s the one who pays the most
rock the cradle
don’t you cry
buy another lullaby
jack is nimble, jack is quick
pick your pocket, turn a trick
slow and steady, he’s got time
to commit another
TV crime
One day in the life of the lonely
another miracle on the screen
what did they see
somebody to love again
A supermarket of salvation
take a look inside the store
shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
but he gives more
Holy father, holy ghost
who’s the one who hurts you most
rock the cradle
when you cry
scream another lullaby
jacke be nimble, jack be quicjk
take the money, get out quick
slow and steady,so much time
to commit another
TV crime, TV crime
Eh, pinball’s okay. I don’t really play it. I don’t recall hearing the song in post 183, but I think I remember having another conversation about it on the blog.
Hey GAPAs, why does this thread say it has 1,000 some posts on the what’s here page? I guess it doesn’t really matter know!
Lol at me. Make that “now”. *huffelpuffelpuffels at himself*
199 – I was wondering that too.
Oh, whatever. I’m bored.

I got these lyrics off of the internet, I didn’t figure them out. I was gone because of homework.
Mwa, ha, ha!!! What other annoying songs do I know?
*thinks**has idea*
I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S-O-D-A, soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said “Yoda”
Y-O-D-A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I’ve been around, but I ain’t never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he’s wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I left home just a week before
And I’ve never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, “Go to Yoda and he’ll show you the Force”
Well I’m not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I’m gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
but, I won’t forget what Yoda said
He said, “Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide”
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
“I know Darth Vader’s really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you’ll be unemployed”
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I’m gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I’ll be coming back some day
I’ll be playing this part ’till I’m old and gray
The long-term contract I had to sign
Says I’ll be making these movies till the end of time
Oh with my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Those were from the internet too.
the internet is a good thing
Does anyone want me to stop? Other than Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)?
Also, how do you make your name green? That is, the name in the bar when you post.
205- I completely agree. I’m not going to bother waiting.
Yeah

A rare … mint snowglobe
A Smurf … TV tray

As long as I’ve got the dough
I’ll buy … your tchotchkes
Sell me … your watch, please

Thanks yet again to the Internet.
I wonder how Rebecca’s handling this?

(206)
Yes.
She makes her name a link to nowhere.
(204) Imagine our surprise.
And you’re right. The song in 203 is annoying just to read.
Is this the beginning of a song war? We may have to go nuclear — Barney songs and *shudders* “the wheels on the _____” — I can’t even bring myself to say it.
By the way, the secret to having our names in green is . . . secret.
whoa! I see my post waiting for moderation before Rebecca’s post. Everybody, you see it as post 208 right now, but it will end up being post 209. interesting!
oh. they just moderated it.
210- :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We should probably have a song wars thread, with the songs that have been posted so far moved to it. They make this page too long.
(208)
*holds hands over ears and sings loudly*
No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be . . .
Why would you want to look like a GAPA? That would be…mean.
I LOVE THE GAPAS! THEY ARE SO NICE AND NICE AND, WELL, NICE, SO I LOVE THE GAPAS THEY ARE SO NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah!!!! Behind Blue Eyes!!! That’s not a bad song!!! I’m just going to get my songs off of the internet instead of listening to them. However, I’m going to listen to Behind Blue Eyes right now. I have to thank my new school for introducing me to The Who. I hadn’t heard of them before this year.
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
Look, he’s crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he’s up above my head
Hanging by a little thread
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Now he’s dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he’s as scared as me
Where’s he gone now, I can’t see
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn’t seem to move at all
Perhaps he’s dead, I’ll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor
Boris the spider
Boris the spider
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
He’s come to a sticky end
Don’t think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl ’round
He’s embedded in the ground
Boris the spider
Boris the spider

Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.
Love, Reign o’er me
Love, Reign o’er me, rain on me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high
Love Reign O’er me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can’t sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

Have I made people desert this thread?
Ugh, now I have various bits of The Who songs stuck in my head. Both my father and my brother are huge fans. The line that says “what about the boy?” from 1921 is the ringtone on my dad’s cell when my brother calls. My sister gets “brown eyed girl” and I’m stuck with “she blinded me with science.” Our entire family is stuck musically somewhere between 1960 and 1990.
Here we are, Born to be kings,
We’re the princes of the universe,

It’s even worse if you think about the tune while you read it.
hey, I’m stuck on lvl 10 of metariddle. I know that it’s the UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, but I can’t figure out the specific word.
Help?
179- I don’t know. Once I remember going to a renaissance fair(e) in Pennsylvania while the family was on a trip to Hershey, I think it was. Have you ever been to the one around NYC in August? Are you a SCAdian?
Song lyrics, then. I’ll do as much as I can without looking it up. Which is five or six They Might Be Giants songs. I’ll start with one.
I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am
Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put to fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It’s a simple message and I’m leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary
One note spelled L-I-T-E
My story’s infinite
Like the Longnines Symphonette, it
Doesn’t rest
Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
I’m your only friend
I’m not your only friend
But I’m a little glowing friend
But really I’m not actually your friend
But I am
There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off
And countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels, it’s
Always near
Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
While you’re at it
Leave the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
While you’re at it (Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you)
Leave the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul (Make a little birdhouse in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
While you’re at it (Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you)
Leave the nightlight on inside the birdhouse in your soul (Make a little birdhouse in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
177-they don’t actually say the ever bit though. at least not in the version i have.
uh oh. GAPAs, looks like a lyrics thread is in order.
Mwahaha, you know we love you GAPA RS. But that doesn’t stop us from torturing you. *sings pinball wizard again…and again…and again*
218-hey, me too! Best time for music.
Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus)
To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus)
I’m so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus)
You house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)
Thank you, driver, for getting me here (Too much, Magic Bus)
You’ll be an inspector, have no fear (Too much, Magic Bus)
I don’t want to cause no fuss (Too much, Magic Bus)
But can I buy your Magic Bus? (Too much, Magic Bus)
Nooooooooo!
I don’t care how much I pay (Too much, Magic Bus)
I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day (Too much, Magic Bus)
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it … (You can’t have it!)
Thruppence and sixpence every day
Just to drive to my baby
Thruppence and sixpence each day
‘Cause I drive my baby every way
Magic Bus, Magic Bus, Magic Bus …
I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I said, now I’ve got my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
I drive my baby every way (Too much, Magic Bus)
Each time I go a different way (Too much, Magic Bus)
I want it, i want it, I want it, I want it …
Every day you’ll see the dust (Too much, Magic Bus)
As I drive my baby in my Magic Bus (Too much, Magic Bus)
If that’s not annoying, I don’t know what is. The song gets extremelyannoying.

SHADDUP ALREADY, GLASSBORO AND EVERYBODY ELSE!!! GO POST YOUR STUFF ON THE SONG LYRICS THREAD!!! THIS PAGE IS GETTING TOO LONG!!!
(230) E2MB, in fairness, the lyrics thread didn’t yet exist when they were in the process of submitting their posts.
144, 152- lvl 15. The last word of the scribble is furo. Figure out what animal it refers to.
223- You have the answer. Hyphens are allowed, which kind of threw me off.
172- The first name of the person who is the answer is “julie.”
Whoo! I have been in Dallas for a climbing competition which was REALLY FUN. There were a ton of tornado watches and warnings and it hailed! It was cool. It was very windy and somewhat cold.
I was saying go post that stuff on the other thread and don’t do it anymore here. But I didn’t clarify that.
175-Brewhahahaha
I HAVE A GOOD SONG!!

JUST DAMN SHADDUP ALREADY!!!
Nothing new has gotten moderated lately. The GAPAs are probably in bed now.
Good night, GAPAs!
This poor cardinal keeps whacking into my living room window.
237-Is it a male? It’s usually the male that does that, but not always. They think they are seeing another cardinal in their territory, and try to fight it off by bumping into the “other” one. At least that’s what it sounds like, from your description.
232- Couldja just tell me if that “julie” person’s from a movie or what? Or what to search for in the Google box?
Wait! Nevermind! I got it! But level 5 is HHAARRD.
Hey, has anybody here heard of CTY?
Hello…Is there anybody out there?
What’s CTY?
232- but it doesn’t work! I type “UH-1” and it gives me a page not found!
241- Yeah, I’m going this summer. Lancaster, PA campus. You?
243- Center for Talented Youth. Nerd Camp.
As far as I know, there are two people stuck on tutorial lvl 4. Help would be appreciated.
246- dude, if you just google site:http://metariddle.com it gives you the answers to like the first five.
245- I’m going to Carlisle this year, second session. I went to Lancaster last year.
235-Woah. chill. seriously.
ditto
246- Didn’t wingnut post a hint to level 4 in #116?
Please, someone help me with lvl 15.
251- I will once I get past lvl 10. Help? What do you type? I’ve been trying variations on “UH-1 Iroquois” all day and it’s not working.
Can somebody tell me what lvl 7 is?
203- WHAT was THAT?
224- LoveIt.
252- I don’t want to post any answers because there are people who aren’t at that level. Let’s see if this works. View source.
253- I can help. Have you tried searching Wikipedia for sum of 10 consecutive primes and looking at the first ten or so numbers? It’s a three digit number.
^^It didn’t work. Never mind. It’s four characters between the slash and the .htm
Just scored 14 1/2 million points on Pinball. w00t!
253 – The Pie War thread needs you!
254- It was “Yoda” by “Weird” Al Yankovic. Annoying, isn’t it?
I am also stuck on the tutorial. I forget which part.
I’m drowning in dishes. I feel soggy all over. Bleh…
I’m stuck on 5.
Kiki- look on the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious wikipedia page. then use google toolbar to find the word Julie.
Is the April Musecast done yet?
How do you get Musecasts? Are they on iTunes?
aw, now I feel stupid – I didn’t realize that it cared about capitalization…
I mean, I get from level 1 to 10 in like 20 minutes and then spend two days stuck on 10..
how do you reverse lvl 13?
Gah, I have way to much homework. This amount should be illegal. I have to do:
– A lab report on our bean seeds, which neither grew, sprouted or anything so there’s nothing to write about
– A history essay with documents from htis packet included and referenced
– A math collect, which I copied the wrong thing down for the first problem so I’m screwed on that one
– A take-home quiz for bio due tuesday, which I have ot started because of the lab report
– Questions in the bio book I will do durring lunch tomarrow, and questions in the packet on things we have ot learned
– Read/analize a poem for english
– spanish ws(finished in school, thatnk god!!)
– history notes
And I got aprox. 4 hours of sleep last night. *dies*
244- Take away the CAPS.
251- Google the first letter of the first word and the last word (furo). Should be okay from there.
262- Guess who the quotes are from. Really famous guy. (last name).
266- Ouch.
geez. this has gotten rather boring. Almost no one talks about anything but random internet games.
Yeah, good point.
Ever since I was a young boy/I’ve played the silver ball.
I have no clue what that is.
My spring break started!! Yay! Thought I’d share that random thing w/ u.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!! I FINISHED THE MALLOREAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
Ohmigod, it was soooo good! David Eddings has this great, subtle sort of humor, and he makes me laugh sooo hard!
(For those of you who don’t know, (like, all of you) The mallorean is the sequel quintet to the Belgariad, which was greatly endorsed some time ago by Pheonix)
What are you guys talking about? Go join Nationstates!!!!! Our region is Land of the Muse, and the pass is [snipped. –Admin.] unless someone changes it again.
Robert dearest, pleasely please don’t make a new thread right now, because you always do that when i come and post here. it’s annoying.
Spam! mwahahahahahaha!
lvl 9. Don’t help me, I’ll get it eventually. Is it related to photoshop?
nvm. my bad. that would be lvl 8. sorry. I have no clue for lvl 9.
272- Oooh. I should read that. I’ve ben meaning too… I’ve been meaning to read a lot of stuff…
I got lvl9. I’ll stop making semi-pointless posts now and get to bed.
Guys, you have to see this! My brother was looking at his Yu-Gi-Oh cards the other day and he looked really close at this one card (Wynn the Wind Charmer) and then he suddenly said “Hey! Is that a hot pink bunny?” You have to see it to believe it. tp://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2myrn68
274 – Why don’t you want him to do that?
So far we have had 586 comments on the random threads. If this rate continues for the rest of the month, we shall have 1,171 posts on the random threads, falling 29 posts short of a fifth random thread.
There’s a GAPA moderating posts right now…which one is it? I guess Rosanne Spector. Tell me if I’m right!
Nope, not this time.
I really don’t want to go to school tomorrow.
Ugh.
Hi Em! You should go join the Pie War! They need some constructive pie-ing over there. Currently, it’s all just
“AHH DIE OTHER SIDE GAHHH (insert 10 billion cut and paste pies here)*
I went backpacking this weekend! It was fun.
182- Wow. I’ll toss in my two cents. This is them.
Popo.
285: Ugh. Me niether.
I am feeling wierd, because I just got back from a trip to Mexico a couple days ago and I’m still thinking en espanol. Ay.
I cant sleep.
Meh.
gee.
*posts*
Wow! Thank to Spring Break I haven’t bee on here since forever! What’s happenen?
Yay! I went to the beach over Spring Break and had a BLAST!
Adventure #1: Built a sandcastle, called it Fort Chedder, It prevailed through the first high tide but was demolished in the second.
Adventure#2: Found a whole sandollar.
Has NEVER happened before!
Adventure#3: Found a lot of interesting creatures in the tide pools. A starfish (adorable), 30 small crabs (very violent), TONS of mini clams.
Adventure#4: First expeirience with eating clams. Wonderful!
Mama’s got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest
Ever since I was a young boy/I’ve played the silver ball.
We had a lot of rain yesterday, so I don’t have school today.
Rebecca should moderate the lyrics thread, where I can post the full version of Pinball Wizard.
Whoa, lots of posts since I was here! The thread only lasted eight days. GAPAs, when you put a new thread, are you going to have to take my picture down?
I hate to talk about random online games again, but Adventure Quest is a bad game that is fun when you have nothing better to do, or aren’t allowed on Museblog for a day. That happened to me because I was 4 minutes late getting off one night when I’d been given 3 minutes, and then the next say I only got 15 minutes total on it. My parents let me go on. I know that people have had worse, but at least it’s something to do if you’re still allowed on the internet.
People are in school, aren’t they?
I have a snow day today.
I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL IN TWENTY MINUTES!
WRYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?@?gs?n?s
Total omgy! I just got a PowerBook 5300c! It was my dad’s old laptop but he gave it to ME!! *dies*
299- A snow day? Not a “rain day”? That’s why I’m off.
300- That sucks. Bye!
302- It was rainy yesterday, and turned to snow sometime last night. Heard the plow go past a little after three AM.
Because I stayed up that late killing myself over tons of homework I had forgotten about. Then when I go to leave my room and take a shower, my mum’s there and tells me there’s no school. *dies*
I think I may actually study today, with all the extra time I have. There’s a lovely chemistry test tomorrow. Joy.
301- I have a Powerbook G4 that my dad gave me. It’s 5 years old, the original hard-drive was replaced, and now the screens going bad. I’m still using it, though. In fact, I’m using it right now.
303- Where do you live?
My dad gave a Notebook for christmas. It doesn’t have a wireless card, but aside from that it serves my purposes famously.
When I want to go on-line, I hook it up to our main computer.
We have a rain-early-dismssal. This morning the rain was coming down at almost a 45 degree angle and I was standing in it. We went through much huge puddles to get home. I think the road my school is on was closed. I have it easy. I know some people whose bus was like 20 minutes late because the road they took normally to school was closed and the second road they tried to take was closed. It’s amazing.
297- My sister is into DragonFable, and it sounded good at first, but when I actually got on it was boring. The last straw was when my character started making bad puns. I’ve seen AdventureQuest and it doesn’t look any different. I mean, they have the same characters, even. Give me live D&D any day.
Wow. It would have been better if they’d just not had you go to school.
I tip my hat to the new constitution/take a bow for the new revolution
What song is that? Box of vitual choklit if you get it right.
Oooooooh! We could have a “Guess the Song” thread! Please, GAPAs?
Why can’t you do that on the “Song Lyrics” thread?
Because the song lyrics thread is for posting full sons, not fractions of them. Also, it would be easier to find what someone was answering, because you wouldn’t have to pass long posts with multiple songs by The Who, like mine.
307- I know that it’s really bad, but it’s actually not that bad for some things. For example, it’s something that doesn’t require thought or constant attention, so you can play it while you’re waiting for the GAPAs to moderate posts.
What the??? Why isn’t there a part 3 already?
284 – Dangit! That was going to be my second guess!
Hey, E2MB, did you know that it’s fun to play games with HPBs? Go here.
267- Thank you!!! Now, though, I’m bothered by lvl 17.
265- I played with this sliding bar thingy in Adobe Premiere (like photoshop for dvds/video)
We got over 600 posts in 15 1/2 days. That’s a lot.
315 – I checked it out. Cool.
317 – Yep. We’re posting enough to get to a fifth installment, if the GAPAs will start up a part 3 soon.
317 – Check out post 282.
(Sorry for the double post.)
We want to see
April Part 3!
We want to see

*waits patiently for the posts to get moderated*
*not*
not moderated yet. sigh………..
Y’know, I was just wondering…isn’t it phenomenal that something like MuseBlog can even exist?
Bah! This is a waste of time sitting here. I think I’ll go do math homework
Post 318 and all that follows have not been moderated as of 11:23 am
Yes, they have. They were at 11:22. (Museblog time)
(324, &c) Hey, it’s Monday morning.
306- haha, we have a snow day, it’s awesome!!!!!!!! but something is seriously wrong with having a snow day half way through April… It really is pretty bad out there, snow blowing and white outs (we couldn’t even see our neighbor’s house this morning) The best thing is, we’ve had so many snow days this winter, we used all the ones we’re allowed to have up so if we had had any more, they would have taken days off our spring break…but spring break was last week, and there aren’t any more days off they can take away, so we’re going to have a short year because they can’t adjust the last day of school because of regents.
Does anyone else have a snow day?
I guess NYC had 8 inches of rain and it might get worse, and all of this rain goes onto the pavement, so it can’t seep into the ground, so there’s severe flooding. The last time they had this much rain was in the 1800’s, it’s classified as a class 2 hurricane.
What do you do for a living, GAPAs?
What do the GAPAs do for a living? And no, I won’t change my name just because you keep zapping my posts now that I have part of Pinball Wizard in my name.
Hmm, but we normally do about four random threads a month, yes? Except for those slooooow months when there are about two, and then the summer, when everyone is crazy and we’ll shove quite a few in…
Also hmm: I’ve been posting a lot more as of late. School has slowed down a bit, thank whatever.
I’ll probably be gone in the beginning of May due to the two AP tests I’m taking. But after that, I’ll probably have plenty of free time. w00t w00t.
LOL, though I kinda have friends this year. It’s not as miserable as sophomore year… Hrm, something I’d rather not dwell on.
What else to babble about? [snow day; it’s not my fault]
Dunno, I’m just in a YAY-MB-WHEE contentment sort of mood at the moment.
The snow’s not so bad; we could have totally gone to school. Hmph. And I really didn’t see this snow day coming. Seriously, I was all “you people are just getting your hopes up…” But they weren’t disappointed. And I’m not complaining.
Wheee.
Oops. I couldn’t see the first post.
I wish that E2MB would come back.
(329) Glassboro ESIWAYB/IPTSB, you can see Robert’s and my answers to this on Ask the GAPAs, No. 2, comments 16 and 29.
I am back.
You seem to be obsessed with “Pinball Wizard”.
Part 3 is taking a while in getting here.
I’m not obsessed, it annoys Rebecca. Join me!!! Put it in your name! Doesn’t “E2MB *sings Ever since I was a young boy/I’ve played the silver ball.*
It doesn’t really annoy Rebecca. She’s just manipulating you for nefarious purposes known only to herself. You might ask other MBers how they feel about long names cluttering up the “recent comments” sidebar, though.
I generally post long comments anyway, so it just means that less of my comment is visible. Besides, other people also do it.
338- not really.
They don’t post as often, yes, but for example the Insane Blue Sage was the Insane Blue Sage Who Doesn’t Like Blue Today once. I may go back to normal tomorrow, or sometime soon.
