Hi! Yeah, political correctness is really stupid.

Jambo! You're telling me... Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs x Political Correctness = Snow Caucasian (I think that's how it's spelled...) and the Seven Magical Little People.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Yes, "Caucasian" is spelled correctly, but I doubt "little people" is politically correct. Perhaps "vertically-challenged"?

Anyway, I think usually PCness is dumb, but there's something to be said for choosing words carefully to avoid offending people.

Hi! Pebble Version is finally up and running again (lousy server glitch) and I've having a pretty good vacation.

*Looks around the place*

Finally! Atma HAS COME BACK...To pebble version! And from the looks of things, it seems I've missed quite alot! I missed the thingy game of doom, I missed the regular thingy game, I missed what happend in the arena and I missed out getting poor Jiji some new friends in IPadvance. But no more. I'm pretty sure alot of you thought the grasp I held on this place was finally lifted, that the name Atma will no longer haunt these very halls, and that it would be safe for newcomers to say hi and only put up Silver and Stevenson.

I say thee NAY!!

And for the record, Homestar runner isin't funny at all.

IF YOU SMELLLLALALALALALALALALOW WHAT ATMA...



Just incinerated.

Jambo! The empty whole in free time left by Pebble Version's absence was hard to fill, ya know... I had to play so much Nintendogs, Mario Tennis: Power Tour, and Neopets: The Darkest Faerie it was unhealthy. And even still I had so much time to kill I made Pokemon-style sprites of Neopets and started reading that book report thing for History class. Fortunately, I stopped when it said Alexander the Great followed some ancient Greek ritual by hopping around some dead guy's grave in his birthday suit... good thing, too. I never read books until a few days before I have to! Plus, doing any type of school-related activity over Christmas Break causes my brain to explode. Good thing the site's back up, or you'd be cleaning up splattered Silver brain. I know there's not much of it, but it's all squishy... yeah, I should probably stop talking... er, typing now, especially about splattered brains. But it's not like I've got anywhere else to rant about anything.

Jambo! Instead of talking about 2006, I think I'll rant about Mario Tennis: Power Tour! Dude. It's awesome. It's set at the same place as the original Mario Tennis for the GBC, and the characters you played in that game are now coaches and they're still awesome. Well, Harry's still kinda creepy, and Kate's still kinda weird, but Alex's still cool and Nina's still the best. And I hate the Power Shots. If I can manage to charge up for one without the ball bouncing twice, my opponent returns it and hits it right past me anyway. On easy mode, I can win a match without the other guy scoring once without using them... and that's in the Island Open and the Peach Dome Tournament thing. Yeah, I played through easy mode, just so I could figure out what the deal with those Power Shots was, only to discover they're no good anyway. So... now I'm doing Hard mode. It doesn't seem that much harder, although I haven't gotten too far yet... Because the Darkest Faerie has been calling to me. Can't you hear it now? "Oh Silver... Tormund's in a Sewer, and Fyora's being held hostage by the Darkest Faerie... and you've still got that Meowclops following you around..." That Meowclops is still there? Dang. I guess they REALLY like Juppies...

For Christmas I got a tablet! SWE-ET! And I have up to Ranma 1/2 book 5! Damn Ryoga gets hot.....What? Ok, I admit he's in my background on my dads computer....And that Shampoo....why would Ranma turn her down? She actually wants to marry him! And she doesn't care about the cursed part because she has it too! And what's with Colonge's mouth? She have a beak or something? Damn Shauni....I have to write a fan fic now. At least Zobie role plays Ranma 1/2 with me -glares at Silver-

Jambo! Well, he's midget plumber that eats magical mushrooms, dies if his hat is taken off by a flying pie, and rides a dinosaur that acts like a dog. Why shouldn't he play all kinds of random sports, too? Plus, the fact that it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE and is mostly likely drug-inspired doesn't mean it's not fun.

And, uh, Opal? Stevenson told me about about page 30 of book one... I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT MANGA.

EDIT: Happy New Year, every body! Yes, it is now officially Checkuary!

Checkuary - The thirteenth month of the year. Begins New Year's Day and ends when a person stops absent-mindedly writing the old year on his checks. ('Tis a Sniglet.)

Sniglet - Any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should.
