Well, this is your chance. Pooldude256 is in the beginning process of creating a new Avatar fan site which will feature original works from our staff. Here is a list of the open positions:

-- Awards Committee (15) - Need 15 members to complete the Awards Committee, who will determine categories and the final nominees for the "Avatar Fan Awards".

-- Creativists (MANY) - People who want to submit funny dialouges (fan-fic), new show characters, Avatars from the past, "what they would never say," New episodes and much more. Anyone can be one and you can submit as many works as often as you like.

-- Bloggers (MANY) - You will be given a blog spot on the site and you can talk about anything related to the show. Review episodes, characters, places, or write about anything else Avatar-related. Like an idea for a new episode, character, or just random ramblings about the show.

You can be many of these. If you are interested or have any questions, PLEASE PM POOLDUDE256!!! He is hoping to get this site up within a couple weeks before the new episodes.
I am an administrator, and have pretty big plans for this site, so you can ask me about those as well! Thanks!!

Go here. Obey its instructions. It may be the most important thing you ever get to do in your life (forgive the brashness):

Mars is really close!

Level: 2, Rank: Sweat Hog, 53%

I find it rather strange that everyone feels the incredible urge to post their level and percentage every time there is an update. I do not know, not trying to offend anyone who enjoys doing such, but it seems sort of a waste of time (in my defence, this is the last time that I am going to do this). Besides, if anyone really wanted to know, they could just look up your profile and, whaddaya know, there everything is!

Another thing: I see people posting the amount of work that they put into the site (I forget where, but someone said that they put in 800 things between last and next-to-last update). Yes, I know that this site will not build itself, but my gosh, in two months some have broken 2,100 submissions. With all the time they put into working for this site (and, I assume, not actually getting paid), is that completely healthy for their social life?

So, for whatever this is worth, I do not know. All I know is that I like going slow (less than 500 posts, 5 blogs, two show reviews, 0 episode reviews, 0 submissions in two months). Going to do two show reviews and one episode review today because I am free, then I am probably going to wait another month before doing anything else.

Sorry for whatever that was (needed to vent excess mental baggage somehow), thank you for you time and attention, and have a great day.

First off, I hope y'all enjoy my personal image (dance, GIR, dance!) and banner. I am still working on the banner (I want it cropped differently), but so you know it is an image of the rim of Ngorongoro, the Tanzanian crater that is my namesake (see About Me or my sig for more information).

But now to the meat of this blog: what I personally believe should be done to fix T.V. programming. It is a list of shows to kill, shows to see more of, and shows to revive. Feel free to agree and disagree (especially that second one because I know you will).

Mm-hem:

Cartoon Network:

Kill: The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (after which all of that juniper would go to a better use like a big ol' brew of gin ), Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi, Krypto the Superdog and for that matter all of Miguzi's programming right now, anything Scooby-Doo (it's a bad, overly-predictable show, people, LET THE NOSTALGIA GO!), Justice League Unlimited, The Batman, One Piece, Duel Masters, Camp Lazlo, and Rave Master.

See more of: Zatch Bell, Rurouni Kenshin, Dexter's Laboratory (the classic stuff, kill the new stuff), Immortal Grand Prix (I demand it now), The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Time Squad, .hack//, The Venture Brothers, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, and Ghost in the Shell.

Revive: Batman: The Animated Series and Batman: Gotham Knights, Megas XLR, Outlaw Star, Samurai Jack, Tenchi, Sheep in the Big City, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 8th MS Team, Blue Submarine No. 6, and Gundam Wing.

Nickelodeon:

Kill: Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, Unfabulous, Zoey 101, Catscratch, My Dad, the Rock Star, regular Rugrats, Rugrats: All Grown Up, Danny Phantom (I know it is a really good and well-executed show, but I personally did not click with it), The Amanda Show, All That, and The Fairly OddParents (it has had a good run, but needs to step down now).

See more of: Avatar: The Last Airbender and Spongebob Squarepants (the good stuff, not this lesser-quality new season).

Revive: Invader ZIM, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Kenan and Kel, (do you even remember when Nickelodeon used to have good live-action shows?), and only because Nickelodeon owns the rights now, Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.

Finally, and on a side-note, kill all CSI's and Law & Order's.

Thank you for your patience, attention, and time.

Yesterday I brought up the longest word in English, but did not post it because TV.com disallows all words over 80 characters. Then it occurred to me, d'oh, just post the word in sections.

Therefore, to recap, this word is 182 letters, longest in English, longest on Earth (go English!), and translated from a 170-letter Greek word. I have posted this word in three (3) paragraphs, seperated by hyphens. Just drop the hyphens and glue the paragraphs together at the seams to get the longest word in English and on Earth!

Mm-hem:

For the definition, see two blogs down, # 4.

Magna_Wolf is indeed correct in a life size Barbie being 7'2" and a 39-23-33. I personally find it interesting and disturbing to add that if Barbie were life-size, it would also be physiologically impossible for her to walk. She would be forced to crawl about on hands and knees.

1.) One can indeed hum with the nose plugged, though only for a very short amount of time. Humming takes much air, and with the nose plugged and the mouth closed, there is only enough air that can be put under force to hum for about a second. If you have the skills to hum through your teeth (as some do), your mouth is open and you can hum indefinitely with your nose plugged.
2.) Two colors also do not rhyme with any other words in the English language: "silver" and "purple."
3.) Every basic color and tone (even purple) can be naturally found as the color of a mammal's fur.
4.) The official longest word in the English language is 182 letters long (ironically translated from a 170-letter Greek word). It is also the longest word on Earth (go English!). You can see this word 2 blogs above. The 182-letter word means a kind of fricassee made of brains (yuck), honey, mullet, vinegar, pickles, a Greek liquer called "Ouzo," and 11 other ingredients not to be mentioned here.
5.) You can change a dollar bill 292 ways. (Torment a bankteller by asking for each way for 292 dollars.)
6.) Hebrew is the only dead language ever revived.
7.) Kuru, got from eating human brains, and found only in New Guinea, is the world's rarest disease.
8.) Here's another for you American's: the shortest presidential term ever served was by Senator David Rice Atchison, for one official day Sunday, March 4, 1849.
9.) For the ladies: makeup has been used for religious cerimonies for 6,000 years. It has been used "recreationally" for precisely 2,074 years (they seriously kept track!).
10.) "Abracadabra" is a made-up word, but was originally thought to be the most powerful word speakable, a charm spell that could cure any cold or flu. Go figure.
11.) Finally, chimpanzees and bonobos also have sex for pleasure. Further, female chimps are known to masturbate (with sticks, if you really want to know), and bonobo females are notorious for preferring lesbian sex to sex with a male. (I always thought animals were dirty, but my....)
