Fear the Korbert!

It has officially been 17 weeks since I last posted.... but did you know......

That apollo 13 (the awesomest NASA mission ever, due to it's number, it's name, and many other reasons.

... 's lunar module was numbered LM-7? AAAAAGH! unlucky!

- that that same lunar module (which was key to the mission's success) had the callsign "aquarius"?

- that aquarius is the 11th sign in the zodiac?

-that it was a ROCKET?
(yes, you did)
(otherwise just watch the movie)

put it together, and.....

11 XQC 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, the freedom of having almost nobody who reads my blog! It is an awesome thing! In conlanging news...

Gwakkian is progressing well, as demonstrated by my new translation, available on Vrleksá. I have also started work on the Jjean script, which I will hopefully share soon. I also devoted a large amount of time this afternoon to learning the holxws script- and I was extremely satisfied with what I learned from it. (this of course assuming that I wrote it correctly)

And go flames!

Well, it's late on December 28th, and I thought that I would get back to this old blog and write a little bit. But that's not all. I have something very special to share with you tonight, but first I will make you read through some other stuff. Like how overjoyed I was to get a Calgary Flames mouse and pad for my laptop this christmas! It is amazingly awesome- I will have to upload a picture of it here sometime. The mouse is an optical mouse, with the flames logo right below the buttons and the scroll wheel. Below that is a reservoir of liquid, which the red light from the mouse shines through, turning it red. Floating in the liquid is a hockey puck (cheesy, I know, but awesome nonetheless). Then the pad has a large flames logo right in the centre, with the rest being red and black-ish streaks.

Secondly, I would like to announce that TOAST International will be getting an entirely new website. The current one is okay, and it has served me well, but I will be working on a new, better version. It will have more content as well! More on that in the weeks that follow.

Thirdly, I promise to update this blog more in the new year! NEW YEARS RESOLUTION NUMBER 1!!!!!!!

And just for the sake of getting this idea out there, and in the spirit of the christmas *ahem* holiday season upon us, I was doing some thinking, some thinking that I will share with you. (of course that you is singular, and that singular person (possibly nonexistent) already knows). Now, if you were to take a can of jellied cranberry sauce, take it out of the can so it retains its cylindrical shape, and slice it thinly, you would have a bunch of thin circles of cranberry sauce. Now imagine putting these on a baking pan and baking (or possibly frying them, or otherwise drying them) them, and what would you get? Cranberry Chips! Apple chips and banana chips sold well, so why not cranberry chips? Combine that with the marketing bonus of the christmas *ahem* holiday season, and you have a way to instant cash!



All right, here it is. The moment that you have been waiting for.

Drum Roll Please.

<build up suspense>

And the announcement is......

KILLER BUNNIES JOURNEY TO JUPITER IS OFFICIALLY OUT!!!!! I CLAIM THE TITLE OF BEING THE FIRST PERSON I KNOW TO HAVE A COPY!!!!!!!!!!!! CELEBRATE!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In short.....

I GOT J2J FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://killerbunnies.com/jupiter/index.html

That's all!

As you may have noticed, the TOAST International website is down for an extended period of time. This is because I don't want it up there while I am fiddling with my dns settings and the like. Right now I am trying and praying for my email accounts to work- if they do then you can have one! So wish me luck! Also, when the site is back up, I will not guarantee it, but there just may be something completely new and awesome on it! Send good thoughts in my direction!

I have absolutely nothing to talk about today. I have bloggers block. So I will leave you with absolutely nothing.

Vote HAL 9000 for Prime Minister!

does anybody read this anymore?

And todayz wordz izz........ FALAFEL!!!!!!!!!

I am really hungry right now, so I should probably go get some food. 



Completely unrelated, but a spurt of randomness spurred me to include it in my post today.

Notd: 69

That is really weird. I go from 43 percent shorter to 51 percent shorter. Even with my long-winded entry that I posted a minute ago. Maybe it's just that everyone else is starting to make really long entries.

That's tsyeants (science) for ya.

As the overly long subject suggests, I am back! And this time, I have the power of XQC!!!!!!!

Anyways, back to what I was saying........ well, I can't remember what that was. So I think I will talk about pastries.

Types of pastries....... well, the best would definitely be Strudel. Especially raspberry, if you can get it. Unfortunately, it's usually hard to get any type other than cherry and apple. This always annoys me, but if I am in great enough need of strudel, I can usually settle for cherry. Especially if the pastry is nice and flaky...... yum.

Then, of course, there is danish. This to me is somewhat secondary to strudel, as I believe that strudel is far superior. It is much more fun. However, danish will always be a suitable substitute. And of course, everyone knows that when it comes to danish, the best type is prune. Especially when the danish is large, or extra large. (ice cream for you if you caught my killer bunnies reference there).

Then we come to tarts. Really, pie should come above this type in the rankings, but I decided to put it here so I can connect the KB references. And due to kb as well, you should all know (actually, as an anecdote here, I have no idea why I refer to my readers in the plural, as I really only know of one. But it's kinda sad when you write a blog for one person. So I will continue with this use of plurals. Anyways, back to the tarts.) that the best type of tart is strawberry, providing that you are red or pink. If you are not red or pink, a strawberry tart is of no nutritional value to you.

Now we come to the wonderful world of pie. Pie is almost as high as toast in terms of awesomeness, and it is also very tasty. There are many, many different kinds of pies, but I will list a few favourites. First of all, I have to hand the title of best pie to lemon meringue, followed closely by apple, and then pizza pie. Blueberry and pumpkin follow. As you know, I, Timothy Rankin Shninehauser, am the prince of pie.

Since I have mentioned pie, I feel that it is my duty to report to you the evils of cake. Nowhere else in our universe does there exist a more superficial and illusional food. It is so pretty and tasty-looking, with icing and maraschino cherries and other good things like that, it is unfortunate that I am compelled to inform you that the cake IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, to remind you of this, I will post this VotD!


And to close things off, the word of the day is Crabcake!

Wow, that was a long entry.

another thing has annoyyed me...... livejournal has a limit on how long your tags can be!!!

arrrrrggg!!!!!!!!

gah!

I HATE GOOGLE CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!! KILL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!


HOORAY FOR FIREFOX!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well, not much to talk about except for one thing........ WORD OF THE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MONORAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I am back in Calgary for 28 hours- I got in on a bus at 12:00 today, and my flight leaves at 16:00 tomorrow- so that leaves exactly 28 hours- whoops, make that 23.5 left. In those 23.5 hours, I have to wash all of my clothes, repack them, and get otherwise ready, and I also have to sleep and eat, and I am taking time to update this, so I obviously don't have a lot of time.

But it's going to be awesome anyways!!!!!!

Well, this is probably my 100th theme by now, but I was just really fed up with my old one, and had to change it. That's all.

Am I ever prepared for anything?

Peter Sellers died on MY BIRTHDAY in 1980!!!!!!!!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Apparently my blog posts are really short compared to other people's blogs.....

 

Wow. I never really thought to think how much I talked in my blog.

The top video is a "lounge metal" version of this song. Then the bottom is the original version. What a difference.

I was just looking through some old entries of mine, and I remembered the trouble that I had with the pirate. Well, he is officially gone now! He has been eliminated via the power of Firefox and AdBlock Plus!!!!!!!!

If you do not have Firefox or AdBlock Plus yet, get them now!

Okay, this is an awesome online radio station thing, where you can get your own radio station! However, it is only supported for Windows and Internet Explorer (and Netscape 4, i think). It does not work with Firefox (so they will be shot) and will not work on Mac and I dont think it will work on Linux. At least, I don't think it works on Mac. You can try if you like.

The way it works is you make a yahoo account, then go to yahoo radio, and set up your station. You select the genres and artists that you like, and then you start listening, and you rate the music that you hear (you can rate songs, artists and albums) and this influences the music that is played on your station.

You can also listen to pre-programmed stations and the stations of other users. In case you are interested, and actually want to listen to the music I like, my station on there is mrtoast2. It plays mainly classic rock (Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Poison, Aerosmith, etc.), some modern rock, and some stuff like Captain Beefheart (who is officially awesome) and Frank Zappa. Oh, and some newly added folk artists (Arrogant Worms, Moxy Fruvous, The Polyjesters). It also plays random stuff similar to the above artists.

It's my new favourite toy!

And if anyone would like to buy me a gun, it would be appreciated so I can shoot the people who made it compatible only with IE.

I'm not sure who I would call- but I guess that I would have to tell them what XQC stands for.

Well, that was short.

It's almost here, folks! You will soon be able to get an e-mail account from toastinternational.co.cc!

instead of bsmith@gmail.com
you can have: bsmith@toastinternational.co.cc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At this moment, anything about the website should be directed to airantarcticaproject@gmail.com, but this will soon be changed to webmaster@toastinternational.co.cc.

HOORAY FOR MY AWESOMENESS!!!!!!

Money would help. That is always something that I lack. Perhaps I should set up a donations fund on my journal.

Poll #1221825 The grand quiz of quizziness v4.0
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Do you even remember the grand quiz of quizziness?

This quiz will be about completely random things. Are you ready?

Reverend Davis at the Beach on Flumpsday?

Pick which one best describes you:

Halibut fishing is best done in what season?

Explain why grass is not green. If you think it is green, you are an idiot, and instead of explaining why it isn't green, explain why you are an idiot.

Rate the progressive equation of the non-linear impulsive rhetorical contracting Dialex.

Who am I?

Tell me about chickens.

Check all that do not have wings.

Should Miss Cummings eat a bullet?

If you have one turkey, how many not-turkeys do you have?

Lucky question!!!!!!!!!

REVEREND DAVIS IS DEAD!!!!!

Yortel's favourite question.

And here you go, the grand quiz of quizziness v4.0!!!!!!

Vampires.

And my marathon is done!!!!!

I believe that I have already discovered this, and I think that the stats are the same, just let me check.......

Yes, I am a commment-maker. I have made 156 comments, and only received 76. This is probably related to my forum addiction- I see something and I just have to reply, no matter what it is about.

Easy. Since I can already fly, and I can already teleport, I guess that invisibility is the only choice!

Wow, this is awesome! I have all sorts of powers, and unlimited money! I love livejournal!

This is probably one of the most difficult questions in life. However, if you are smarter than a woodchuck (if a woodchuck could chuck wood), then you probably know that THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Therefore, you should never choose cake. This leaves only pie, which makes it by default the awesomest dessert.

Of course, pie can be eaten heated or cold. Personally I prefer cold, as I don't see much of a difference between the two, and cold takes less work.

I would go with a dead person, as they would not be able to eat. That way, I could have their food. Of course, we would eat at the Stop Giving Long Writer's Blocks Cafe, so as to increase the amount of money available to me.

I believe I stated earlier that not dying was my greatest accomplishment, so this is really useless if I had actually died, as my finest accomplishment would have been completely moot.

Well this is a good question, and it has a worthy answer.

When I go to camp every summer, the only actual washrooms are 500m to 1km from where you sleep, so if you need to go in the middle of the night, you are going to either have to use a stinky outhouse, or go in the woods. Of course, I try to never use outhouses whenever possible, so that means going in the woods. As this differs greatly between the different disciplines, I will differentiate this into Urination and Defecation.

Number 1: Urination
As I am from the male gender, urinating in the woods is extremely easy. You just pick a tree, and go. This makes it rather enjoyable. So when you come home from the woods, you really appreciate what urination really is. Watering ants.

Number 2: Defecation
Well, this one is much harder. In cases like these, while they are rare, they do still happen. I try to avoid them at all costs. If it comes down to it and I can't bear it any longer, an outhouse would be considered if available. Otherwise, start digging a hole. However, I am actually quite accomplished at holding on until a regular washroom is available. All things considered though, this is not a memorable experience however you approach it. It really makes you appreciate having a working toilet in your home.

Well, there's number 7 down, and more to go.

I get hope for the future when I eat toast every morning. Toast is the awesomest thing in the world, so why should it not give you hope as well?

And of course it isn't hard to maintain, as long as I have bread and my toaster works, I will always have hope!

6 down, more to go. Wow, this one really came out cheesy.

The "Stop Giving Long Writer's Blocks" Café. It would serve StopUsingSoManyWords soup. It would be in a rented circus tent. I would then take the rest of the money, and buy the following:

1. A new laptop to replace the crappy one that i have now. It would be Dell, not Compaq.
2. Flight Simulator X
3. Bus fare to Sentry Box to buy J2J, and then J2J itself
4. A trip all over the world to see different airports and fly on different airplanes
5. A car (electric)
6. More Time
7. Toast
8. Anything else that I want

As the money is unlimited, the last two would just keep repeating.

Well, I guess I have a couple nicknames. The first would be mrtoast2, which was really my first internet username, the name for my lj account. I got it because I wanted to have the name mrtoast, but it was already taken, so I settled for mrtoast2.

The second would be Korbert. This was just a random name that I used for my cyberairlines account (in case you don't know, cyberairlines is a multiplayer online airline simulation), and it just stuck. It is often shortened to Korb, and occasionaly just Bert.

Then, my third nickname (the one that I can't seem to get rid of), is Splanky. Now, this is not technically my nickname, it was actually Count Basie's nickname (and i don't want to take anything away from him). It's kind of an inside joke with jazz band, so if you weren't in the band 2 years ago (05-06), you couldn't know exactly how funny it was. If you really want to know that badly, there are a few people that you could ask, but I'm not telling!


Wow, that was a long post.

I don't know- I don't really buy much. I'd have to say that it would be my vast collection of books that I haven't read. They seemed interesting when I bought them, but now they are just taking up space on the shelf.

No. I'm not exactly a homosexual type of person.

Cheese should go on everything! I love cheese!!!!!!! And anything that has cheese on it should almost always have garlic powder as well. No, seriously. Whenever i make myself a snack, it almost always includes cheese and garlic powder. I'm not kidding!

In other news, I am going to start a witer's block marathon! Lots of writers block posts!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!

The Air Antarctica Project is busy overhauling the TOAST International site, and so far we have the first prototype for the homepage. It's located here. Send your comments and suggestions to airantarcticaproject@gmail.com . We apologize for any inconvenience with the site.

FLOOD CONTROL = BAD!!!!!
KILL FLOOD CONTROL!!!!!!!

Why to always travel business class......

And that is your video of the day!

The charge for reading this entry is $3. (canadian tire money not accepted).

I have an idea (all right, hemicomputer had an idea) that you could go somewhere really deep in the south of the U.S., and try to pass off Canadian Tire money as real Canadian currency.

Canadian: Oh, here, take this canadian money. It's worth about the same as yours these days.

American: Hmmmmmm.... Doesn't that say Canadian Tire?

Canadian: No no no, that says Canadian Tire (pronounced tiray). It's the french word for bank. So that says Canadian Bank.

American: Oh, okay I see. But that says 25 cents, not 25 dollars. See? That's the cents sign.

Canadian: No, that's our dollar sign. The "C" in the symbol stands for Canadian. See? Canadian dollars!

American: Ah, I see. But who's this guy on the front?

Canadian: Oh that was Sydney Crosby. He was our first President.

American: Never heard of him. You guys have a president? I thought you just lived in igloos and hunted seals.

Canadian: No, haven't you guys heard of our President Stephen Harper on the news? Robots can't live in dwellings made of snow, you know. It's bad for their circuitry.


And presto, you just bought yourself a new [insert product here] for a discount of approximately $24.75.

 had a lj too, I started posting more, and the posts got more interesting! And that's how it all started

It must be eliminated. It is stupid. It logs your webbrowsing (which they are allowed to do, it is just anoying), it blocks lots (including MY SITE), and it can be easily confused, which is not always a good thing. You see, if i log in on one computer, then I stay logged in, and the next person to use the computer, unless they log in to barracuda using their own account, they still use my account to browse the internet. So they could go game, look at porn, do all sorts of crazy stuff, and it looks like i did it. At least, that's the way it seems to me after my limited use of the system, so please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, Air Zimbabwe is starting the Air Zimbabwe World Tour: AKA the Shoot Robert Mugabe Campaign!

First of all, you can read my rant about the new filtering system at WCS here
(they even blocked Livejournal).

Secondly, my website is up and running! It is located here.

Thirdly, Firefox 3 is coming out this TUESDAY! Download it to help set a Guinness World Record!!!!!!!!!


And that's all for now.

I am pleased to announce the moving of the rudyquotes! The Rudyquotes blog will still exist, but the quotes will now be stored off-site, and linked to from the main page to save space for QoTDs!

Also, ketacitizens has been updated!

Yay! hooray for me! I like toast!

 Your Headline today is:

HEIMCOMPUTER TO RUN FOR STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT! VOTE FOR HIM OR HE WILL KILL YOU!

Yes sir, hemicomputer  is running for president!!!!!


Also, I just ate a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich! hooray for PB&J!!!!!! You know, I find it kind of annoying that there is no field on LiveJournal for "Current Food." They have music, mood, and location, but not food!!!!! How else can I share my awesome culinary adventures with toast and PB&J with the rest of the world? That reminds me, I must post a picture of my awesome toast sometime. Tôst drônén kókslán! Vón kríngénai tôst!

In other news, you can view the up-to-date Modern Gwákén script here, and it even has rudy quotes scrawled on it!

And that's all for now, folks!

I have a second blog now! It is strictly a hockey blog, and you can find it here!

I may get around to posting a votd today, it's been a while since we have had one, (am I starting to be schizophrenic?) but I don't know if I will have time.

Also, check out hemicomputer for videos of Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band!

Nothing much to say today, so I will leave you with this:
