  • With the contestants announced, the contest to see who are the coolest cats are now underway. If you don't know the contestants, check the last post. They're all there. Lets go to the first event!


    Event 1: Realism
    - In this contest, we'll see which of the groups are the most realistic. On a side note, everyone knows they can all talk so that point will be omitted.
    Pizza Cats: They stand on their hind legs, they deliver pizza, and they have fully functional hands. Oh my God, how do they even call themselves cats. Oh yeah, because of the fur and whiskers. And the tails.
    SM Cats: They are obviously the most realistic of the bunch. They're small, cute, and furry. And they stand on all four of their feet. That's right, FEET! They have no hands.
    Swat Kats: They stand on hind legs, fly a jet, and have fully functional hands. Oh wait, that's just like the Pizza Cats. Poor realism score.

    Winner = Sailor Moon Cats

    Event 2: Weaponary
    - For this contest, we'll check out which group has the coolest weapons.
    Pizza Cats: They wear armor and use various japanese weapons, hence the "Samurai" part of the groups name. Their weapons include swords and shurikens.
    SM Cats: They can instantly materialize transformation pens and other nifty gadgets just by doing a backflip. The problem is, none of these things are very cool. Low score for these cool cats.
    Swat Kats: These guys have various guns and vehicles with guns on them. How cool are guns?! If you don't know, very cool.

    Winner = Swat Kats

    Event 3: Language
    - This contest will determine who uses the coolest language.
    Pizza Cats: These guys originally spoke japanese, which gives high kudos. Even when translated, they're just plain funny.
    SM Cats: They originally spoke japanese, as well. They also use highly sophisticated language, which is just plain cool because it irritates people.
    Swat Kats: They may not have spoken japanese, but their language is so cool! They use old school slang like "crud"!

    Winner = TIE!

    Event 4: Humor
    - In this contest, we see who is the funniest.
    Pizza Cats: These guys were meant to be funny to begin with, and pull it off. They are hilarious, even while being horribly censored.
    SM Cats: Even though Luna speaks with a British accent, the only funny one is Diana. She is funny because she is so annoying. Sadly, 1 out of 3 isn't very good.
    Swat Kats: Granted, they try to be funny, but they're just not on the same caliber as the Pizza Cats.

    Winner = Samurai Pizza Cats

    Okay the contests are over. The scores are 1 to 1 to 1...

    What a surprise. It was a complete tie. Well, now it's up to you! Instead of making this contest biased like the detergent one, I will leave it open to votes! Just post some comments, or e-mail me. Find some way to contact me. You have seven days. To see who is winning, look on the left modules.

    Vote or DIE!

  • I had a lot of fun with my contest on laundry detergents last time. This time I want to do another. My next contest will be to see who are the coolest cats EVER! Here are the nominees:


    The Samurai Pizza Cats

    Samurai Pizza Cats
    These cool cats come from a TV show of the same name. It was originally made in Japan and eventually made the move to the US. It starred Speedy Cerviche (in white), Polly Ester (in  red), and Guido Anchovy (in blue).

    Luna, Artemis, and Diana

    The Sailor Moon Cats
    These are the famous cool cats that appeared in the Sailor Moon series. They taught the senshi everything they knew. In the picture, they are Luna, Diana, and Artemis, respectively.

    Swat Kats

    Swat Kats
    The Swat Kats are the cool superheroes from Mega Cat City. With various weapons, and an awesome jet, they kept the city free from various enemies. The picture shows Razor and T-Bone, respectively.


    Only one group can be declared a winner. Starting tomorrow (or eventually) I will begin the contests. Be sure to stay tuned!

  • A sudden poll question entered my head as I was doing laundry the other day. What is better, liquid or powder detergent? As I think about it now, there doesn't seem to be a clear victor. Lets just do a quick contest to see which should rightfully be called the coolest.

    Part 1: Physical Exertion
    Powder - This type does not require all the too much. The hardest part is opening the box and scooping out the powder.
    Liquid - This type requires way more than powder. Especially if you have one of the huge, industrial-sized detergent containers. You need to lift the bloody thing and pour just the right amount in.
    Victor = POWDER

    Part 2: Ease of Use
    Powder - While both are easy, this type seems a bit more difficult to use. You need to figure out how much you get with each scoop, and if you screw up you need to tap it until it's just right.
    Liquid - This type is easy to use, if you can get past the physical exertion (see above). Just pour in the measured amount and it's all done. If you add too much, just dump it away. Piece of cake.
    Victor = LIQUID

    Part 3: Ease of Transport
    Powder - This type often comes in a box of varying size. Sometimes it has a handle, sometimes it does not. Either way, it's a cinch to carry.
    Liquid - This type comes in a bottle that almost always comes with a handle. Not a problem.
    Victor = TIE

    Part 4: Mess
    Powder
    - Powder, being a powder, is naturally messy. Especially if you screw up and need to change how much you have in the measuring cup.
    Liquid - Liquid, being a liquid, is very clean and very difficult to make a mess with. Unless you spill it, there should be no need to clean up.
    Victor = LIQUID

    Part 5: Cost
    Powder
    - This type, for some abscure reason, seems to generally be cheaper than its counterpart, liquid.
    Liquid - Probably due to the plastic used to make the bottle, this type is more expensive than powder.
    Victor = POWDER


    Alright, that's all the competition for now! Let us tally up the scores:
    Powder = 2
    Liquid = 2

    Victor = TIE

    What a surprise. Well, there you have it, folks. There is no clear victor. To break the tie, my personal preference will gain a point. Let me just redo this real quick...

    Victor = Liquid

    There we go, much better. Liquid is way cooler than powder, and a biased competition has proven it. Thank you and good night!

  • GTA San Andreas = t3h c00ln3$$!!!!!1!!


    I got this game the day it came out, and it is still taking up every single afternoon. It is that great of a game.


    [SPOILER ALERT!]


    ~Coolest vehicle = Blade (a lowrider / convertible)
    ~Coolest Mission = "Deconstruction" The one where you have to use a bulldozer to knock down some portables and and port-a-john.
    ~Coolest New Thing = The Jetpack! (w00t)
    ~Coolest Weapon = the SMG
    ~Coolest Character = Wu Zi "Woozy" Mu
    ~Funniest Line = "How may I further degrade myself, sir?" - Cluckin' Bell Cashier
    ~Coolest Cameo = The GTA3 Guy
    ~Coolest Outfit (in my opinion) Mercury Hood + Black Beret + Blue Sunglasses + Urban Camo Pants + Blue Lowtop Sneakers + Ingram Tattoo (The Black Panther Look)
    ~Coolest Little Tweak = Car doors don't indefinitely dangle open as you drive. They can actually shut themselves.

     

  • Okay, second entry now! I must say that weblogs are an interesting thing. You can ramble about nothing at all (which I am about to do), and people might actually care! Let me show you...


    Do you ever wonder about why songs randomly get stuck in your head? Only a day or two ago, I got ABBA's "Fernando" stuck in my head for most of the school day. I did some research (i.e. I went to ask.com) and I found this informative site: http://www.uc.edu/news/kellaris.htm It's pretty interesting and should be checked out. That's all for today, peace out!

  • Alright, everything seems to be set up now... If anything interesting happens. Let me warn you about one thing right now, though. DO NOT READ CRIME & PUNISHMENT UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! Spare yourself the pain.
