I Pity The Fool

Didn't think I'd be doing any real blogging soon, but I thought this was something everyone needs to know.

Mr. T gets a reality show called I Pity The Fool.

Very little is known about the show, set to launch in October, apart from the fact that it will feature Mr. T "traveling the country and giving advice as only Mr. T can". Sounds kinda like a cross between Oprah and Dog, the Bounty Hunter.

Remember Dog?


Dog: We're just about to enter the residence of a known drug dealer. Be prepared for anything.

Dog kicks down a fence. On the other side is a man tending to his garden, a golden retriever resting at his feet.

Man: What the-?

Dog sprays the dog with a pepper spray can the size of a small child. He then grabs the man and slams him against the fence.
Dog: Against the wall, dirtbag!

According to Wikipedia, Dog has actually captured over six thousand law breakers. That's a lot of pepper spray.

On an unrelated note, I'm now Interact Publicity Director. The First. Ever. Publicity Director. Which means I'm helping to plan the Interact Installation, as held on the 1st of September. One day ahead of the Fource of '06 Social Night, if it actually goes down.

Thomas: Listen, about this installation. I don't care how you do it, but you are going to come up with the best damn installation the school has ever seen. I want fireworks, flying people and angels.

So all we need is flying angels on fire and I guess we're set. Congratulations to the new President.

[20:07:58] [dignia]: let me tell you how the vote went
[20:08:14] [dignia]: sheryl won the first vote, 36 to 33
[20:08:44] [dignia] then zabedah noticed that the total votes didnt match the number of people in the room
[20:09:03] [dignia]: and jing hang won the next vote 35 to 34
[20:09:19] [dignia]: but the votes still didnt tally
[20:09:34] [dignia]: so the decision was given to the old board, who voted sheryl in
[20:09:30] [dignia]: but some people protested the decision
[20:09:47] [dignia]: finally they gave the decision to the new board
[20:09:55] [dignia]: and jing hang became president
[20:10:00] Demon Bound: lol
[20:12:08] Demon Bound: Talk about screwed up democracy

Today I grabbed the president's ass. It is also the old president's birthday.

Look! Star Wars game for PS3! The thought is unbelieveably scrumptious.

Right now I am more excited about this than any other game in production. Except maybe FFXIII. A female main character in Final Fantasy? That's just hot. I saw some FFXII CG playing at Speedy Video at 1U on Wednesday. I don't really like it. Reminds me too much of FFIX.

Finally: Gao Gai Gar is probably the best show about a guy who's a cyborg who merges with a lion who's a robot to form a bigger robot to merge with a bullet train, a stealthc bomber, and an inexplicable drill tank to form the ultimate biggerest robot there is.

• Transformers: Galaxy Force (Transformers: Cybertron in the US) contains many visual references to GaoGaiGar's stock "Final Fusion" and "Hammer Connect" sequences, most notably in the sequences where Liger Jack (Leo Breaker) and Sonic Bomber (Wing Saber) "Link Up" with Galaxy Convoy (Optimus Prime).
• The stock "Final Fusion" sequence is extremely iconic of the show, making it worthy of a great many fan parodies (though reaction to these parodies by other fans is greatly mixed). One recent fan-parody video (by the group ~Mad eXpress~) intersperses soundtrack and footage of the Impulse Gundam combination sequence from Gundam SEED Destiny with that of GaoFighGar's Final Fusion sequence from GaoGaiGar FINAL.

Yep. Fusion on, cowboy.

Kanaganayagi

It's not the best in terms of quality. But it gets the point across and teaches a valuable lesson about life and chemistry.


I might have decided to say a few words about today's government diagnostic test, but since just about everyone my age in the whole country took it, I don't think that's really necessary. Suffice to say that as soon as the papers were opened, I led the class in laughing for a full five minutes before we actually started on the questions.

Mdm Selva's real name is Kanaganayagi. I can't remember how it came up, but we were singing happy birthday to Arnold. Yknow, Sheng Yap. Arnold Shengyapnegger. By we I mean me and Sanjay.

Selva: My real name actually is not Selva Vishnu. That's my husband's name.
Sheryl: Really? So what does the C in your name stand for?
Jun Ian: Chandran?
Sanjay: ...
Selva: No la... I took the name when I got married... the C is from his grandfather la, dunno why he wanted it there also. Selva actually is some kind of god.
Lee Zhien: ...Shiva.
Mahadi: So what's a Vishnu?
Jun Ian: Come on la...
Sanjay: So what's your real name madam?
Selva: Tell you later.
Sanjay: Happy Birthday to you...

Some people join in. At the third line Sanjay waves his hands for a pause, so that the name is not sung.

Sanjay: Happy Birthday to youuuuu...
Selva: Okay la, I'll write it here on the board.
Jun Ian: ...kanaga...na..yagi?
Selva: Kanaganayagi. For some reason the Japanese find it very easy to pronounce.

Mdm Selva explains her family tree. They have names much like hers.

Selva: And this is my grandfather Kakanagina. And my other cousin...
Jun Ian: So madam you're related to Kaka?

The lesson ended with a rousing chorus of happy birthday Kanaganayagi.

I actually didn't want to talk about the Great Frog Massacre of WMS but I ahve some interesting convo logs.

[19:54:14] [dignia]: oh we dissected a frog today

[19:07:33] sane saint: the lungs, the heart, the gall bladder, u name

[19:07:41] sane saint: so the frog was an empty carcass
[19:07:52] sane saint: then zs pull open the skin
[19:08:07] sane saint: leaving the frog not to have the dignity of

[19:08:27] sane saint: and then they were like massaging the head and
kept pulling the tongue to see how far it cud go
[19:08:40] sane saint: so it was downright gruesome

[19:09:54] sane saint: all i can think abt are frogs and how we
dissected them

R.I.P. my amphibian friends.

Who Can Stop The March Of The Penguins?

So, as it turned out, the Taliban stopped the march of the penguins. Or you might wanna call them the Bantalis. As censorship requires.

Penguins: Lee Zhien, John Lim, Jeck Beng
Talibans: Reuben, Sundeep and Deepaq

It was a real killer of a match though. For all of the first half, the Taliban played with two men. Sundeep had gotten a seven-minute ban. Shockingly, they took the lead and kept pushing til it was 3-0. Then the Penguins fought back to make it 3-3. And finally, the ball flew over Lee Zhien and Deepaq tapped it in to end the game at 4-3. Simply heartbreaking.

Jun Ian: If only he'd been a bit taller...
Mahadi: That's what I keep telling him. "Lee Zhien, get taller". Guy never listens.

The posters I printed for the Interact Club on Friday. By Saturday morning, three out of five were gone. Well, that can only be a good thing right? Shows that my work is appreciated.

I also did one for the third place match. Ian Wong takes on JLo. The way JLo plays, you'd think he'd have shattered every bone in his body before the fourteen minutes of the match were up.

Imagine the skeletons. Crushed pelvis and all.

"What happened to these people?"
"They were condemned to die by snu-snu!"
"Yay! Snu-snu!"

snu-snu (noun)
Endless sex forced on a man by a variety of women usually resulting in the death of the man. From Futurama episode in which the main characters are condemned to "Death by Snu-snu!" by a alien matriarchal society, ignorant of the earthling male's view of this as a most fitting death.

Stop! No more! The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised!

"The Amazonians will be divided into three groups. The one called Zapp will be snu-snued by the large women. He that is designated Fry will be snu-snued by the petite women. And Kif, as the most attractive male, will be snu-snued by the most beautiful women of Amazonia. Then the large women. Then the petite women. Then the large women again."

Goodbye, friends. I never thought I'd die like this. But I always really, really hoped.

Space

There are some more things for you to look at today (since response was good yesterday). First, a picture of a planet being sort of penetrated by a giant roasting laser.

Demon Bound: World of warcraft says:
It's like earth is being roasted by a heat ray
Demon Bound: World of warcraft says:
but whats with your obssesion with beams?
[δignia] new artwork says:
heh
Demon Bound: World of warcraft says:
Is this some phallic obssesion
[δignia] new artwork says:
the focus is the planet
Demon Bound: World of warcraft says:
oh so now it's an obsession with gonads eh?

Next up we have the same planet... being toasted by a solar flare. Poor planet.

Finally the solar flare is displayed in all its exploding-Death-Star-esque glory. All three pictures today were made using similar techniques. They are also all in 1024 x 768 in case you want pretty pictures for your desktop. Also, the solar flare/cloud can be made into many X-traordinary shapes. Like V or A or X.

Something that happened today:

Kevin and Lib Yin play a game involving the slapping of hands. The game seems designed for individuals with prevailing machismo issues and the sole object seems to be laying the hurt on your opponent.

Lib Yin: *miss*
Kevin: *gentle touch*
Lib Yin: *SMACK*
Kevin: You're not supposed to do that... after I get you it's game and you can't hit me back.
Lib Yin: Kay, sorry.
Kevin: It's your turn.
Lib Yin: *miss*
Kevin: *gentle touch*
Lib Yin: *SMACK*
Kevin: Again! Guys, check this out!

Yow Hwui, Jason, Mahadi, Jun Ian and Azfar gather round.

Lib Yin: I won't do it again!
Kevin: Prove it. *gentle touch*
Lib Yin: *miss*
Kevin: *gentle touch*
Lib Yin: *SMACK*
Kevin: See there! No impulse control!
Lib Yin: Sorry! It's just a thing where if someone hits me I have to hit them back!
Kevin: Well let's see if you can control it then.
Lib Yin: *smack*
Kevin: *miss*
Lib Yin: *miss*
Kevin: *smack*
Lib Yin: *draws back fist* GRR!
Kevin: Ahn!
Yow Hwui: See! At first her hand like this and then now like this. So violent la Lib Yin.

Yow Hwui opens and closes a fist to demonstrate.

Mahadi: Look at her she's biting her teeth. Better watch out next time she punch you already.
Jun Ian: Next time you smack her, she'll kick you in the jewels. Or maybe headbutt.
Lib Yin: It's a relfex action!
Azfar: Lib Yin can become damn good keeper then.
Jason: After the ball goes in she saves.
Jun Ian: Nah. After the ball goes in she punches the striker.

Lifestream?

Something I tried out today. It turned out well so look forward to more effects like that in future comics. It looks kinda like the lifestream for Final Fantasy VII. I did it with the twin magics of photoshop and the internet. I plan to blog stuff like this more often now that I have Photoshop 7.1. Click for the high-def version.


Also: Go Grease-X! If you ever saw the Summer Nights-X dance, you would die laughing. I almost did.

Eliot: You can't have my graphics card, I need mine.
Clarissa: I have a graphics card!
Amani: Do you even know what a graphics card is?
Clarissa: It's a card... that has graphics on it.

I am not returning to competitive blogging. This is more of a knee-jerk reaction to an inspiring... thing that Lisha said.

[δignia] here comes tomorrow says: I have nothing to say
perfect hell says: then dont say anything.doi!
[δignia] here comes tomorrow says: there wouldnt be anything to blog then!
[δignia] here comes tomorrow says: or maybe there is
perfect hell says: good point.

perfect hell says: u can blog about how theres nothing to blog if u dont say anything.

perfect hell says: okay.doesnt make sense..nvm nvm.

Maybe it doesn't. But it's not like I don't have other things to do. Like the slideshow.

The Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Presents:

Thanks to "Penguin" Yoong Jie for help with the text. You have to agree it looks nifty. Doesn't it look nifty everyone?

Look. I even did some Wishworld.


With, yknow, MS Paint. Well it's not THAT bad. Tell me if you like it. I can make more.

Norhayati: Jamaliah! Berapa murid dah kita bunuh tahun ni?
Jamaliah: Lima!

Haslina starts to strut.

Haslina: Lima! Lima!

No offense meant by omitting the honorary madam, but it really doesn't look good in print. Point aside, it's the internet. The full account of the above matter can be found at the blog formerly known as Zillion Thoughts, Ruffneck. I seem to have set off a trend when I changed my blog name.

Jun Ian: Yeah, I think Kevin's back.
Kenji: Oh SHIT! I still haven't gotten his letter of merit that his mom asked me to pick up two months ago!

I don't know why. That was the funniest thing I heard all week. Including that discussion I had with Kenji about crushing cans with the stomach.

Uh... that's all for now.
