Dufa's made an interesting, more convincing point about Mist. While I agree with those points, I have a hard time voting for her, as I do tend to lead towards scum towards her past lives every time we meet, and I'm failing to see what makes her playing yle that much different than other times. Helga and Dufa both say that Wilhalm tends to play this way each time. I think some books need dusting and some research needs to be done, and I'll be able to get a better idea of his activity

I hate asking this since you tend to be town when I do, but do you have anything actually specific about Snotra and Naemr, or are you just going to agree with everybody like usual?

This quote bugs me. It's one of those posts that we tend to see scummy bummies use a lot to appear active and persuade us not to look into anything because it's only day one. It's day one, we sure as hell won't have concrete information to go off of, but that doesn't mean we can't build a case using somebody's behavior. I haven't seen much of this fellow outside of Valhalla, so I can't speak for what he normally acts like, but for right now, it's worth a vote in my book. Vote: Wilhalm Bloodaxe (WhiteFang)

What exactly is a phone? Are you 100% sure that the ox urine is used medicinally?

No, no, it's not crap, it's urine. And it's supposedly medicinal, but I've got my eyes on Helga.

Why are you brutes speaking in third person and boiling ox urine? Clearly Weasel urine is what yer looking for. Unless, of course, you plan on spillin' out that ox urine in the shape of a pentagram and plan on summoning either Satan or Loki, whichever one is where we are.

Brutes everywhere.... especially that Helga.... thing.....

.... I thought your father was a Servant of Loki... My apologies, madam. I didn't notice your womanly features over your brute-like ones.

For such a Brute with a pudding-head like yours, you seem to be pretty clever.

Eff you, Brute! Tumi here!

Hello again!! The review you are about to read will be a short and small review, but of a small to medium sized set. If you didn't notice based by the title, I am reviewing 853195 Brick Calendar. Set Information: Set Name: Brick Calendar Number: 853195 Theme: No specific Theme Year: 2011 Minifigures: 2 Pieces: 120 Price: $15.99 USD/ €9.99 Links: Brickset My Flickr Introduction I only recently purchased this set about two months ago. I had a bit of money and wanted to increase my minifig selection. So I purchased the VIP Minifigures to complete my Series 3 collection, and I purchased this set, to increase my Series 1 collection. (Despite already having the cheerleader. ) Plus, I just thought that it would look nice on my desk, being dwarfed by the whiteboard calendar I have. Anyways, this set has a very interesting history behind it. It was originally released as an exclusive in LEGOLAND California before being released in select LEGO-only retailer stores. But did this set meet my expectations? Does it work well as a calendar? Read on to find out. The Box Here is the front of the box. I really like this box art. I find it to catch attention extremely easily and it just has an overall good look to it. The colors don't clash and I really like those little colorful dots at the top of the box. Overall, really great job, LEGO. The back of the box shows those teenage rebel minifigures demolishing the set! I never would have thought LEGO would have promoted this type of behavior! Jokes aside, it looks OK. It's not as lovely as the front, but the front is supposed to be more eye-catching than the back. Finally, we have the actual size photo. It is of the Cheerleader, and it is up to scale. I think the picture should have been a straight-on photo without the pom-poms though, because it really helps judge in judging the scale easily. The Instructions When you open the box, The instructions are folded neatly like this, similar to that of a CMF checklist. One think I forgot to mention is that all of the parts come together in a big bag of a stretchier plastic than the usual crinkly kind. The mini instructions then unfolds into: Holy crap! These instructions are huge! Actually they are about the size of a regular 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper, maybe a bit smaller. The instructions are a little bit straight on, and have a very simplistic 1:1 build. Here is the final step, and then a piece assortment. I don't think anyone actually put their minifigures on the top of the calendar. I sure didn't. But I'm going to leave it up to builders if they absolutely have to, even down to the correct stud, or if they just want to keep the figures somewhere else. Interesting Parts We have printed bricks, (the 2x10's are double sided) Pom poms, and a skateboard. I included the hairs because they are useful for minifgures, but really the black Skater hair is interesting. The Minifigures The figures in this set are one of the main reasons I bought it. I think it was a smart move to include two originally discontinued figures. Especially for the price of selling this set for $15. The two of these figures sell for a little less than $30 on eBay together. A very good deal on my part, sense I missed out on this series. The two figures included are the Series 1 Cheerleader and Skater. Very, very well done figures IMHO. I love the Skater's hair, and those adorable pom poms! However, the skateboard isn't printed, unlike the Series 4 and 6 counterparts. Clicking on this link will give you a view of the cheerleader without her pom poms. You will see it is a very nice torso. Seen here is how the pom pom enters over the hands. Neither of them have back printing, but I thought that it would make a good reference picture, and a good look at the Skater's hair from behind. Also, the Cheerleader's hair fits tightly, unlike most Licensed figures with this hair. Teenage Minifigures: Jerks or misunderstood? I came home in time to catch my teenage minifigures totally demolishing the set.They had their friends take pictures of them playing on their destruction. As a punishment, I have taken the liberty of making them rebuild the set. Here we have the minifigures stomping on some plates to keep the calendar nice and sturdy.This part of the build is quite repetitive and irritating, because you have to spend time searching for the number brick, that is, unless you organize them. After hours of number-brick searching, stomping on plates, and trying to figure out how to get to the top to finish the build, the minifigures have successfully built: The Completed Set Here is the completed September 2012 calendar. It looks nice. It is very simplistic, but well-done. Here is the backside. As seen, the 2x10 brick is reversible, as are all of the others. Extra Parts None. That's right, not even the "31" 2x2 brick. You have to turn it so it isn't visible. The Results: Design: 8/10- It looks nice, but really that's it. I feel like it could use a bit more of a "wow" factor. Price: 6/10- It is 12.5 cents per piece, which is pretty lame, but I was willing to pay due to the figures, which are very expensive everywhere else. Minifigures: 10/10- A great marketing idea, and they picked the right figures too, being virtually unobtainable. Spot on, LEGO! Playability: 2/10- You can't really do anything with it. At all. Unless you have your minifigs take it apart. It's just a pain to build again anyways, because you will need a calendar to remeber which day goes where while building. Parts: 7/10- This set is basically a bunch of bricks. However, it does come with a few nice accessories, and the printed bricks are always a plus. The Verdict: 33/50- This would probably be barely a 3 according to my grading system. A good set, but not perfect. Summary: Overall, I feel that this is a strong set. It comes with figures that are extremely popular and rare, and it has printed bricks, but it is a border-line useless set unless you see fun in building it over and over again every month, especially since you need a regular calendar to build it. I'll see you next time, and here to wish a good-bye to the people reading this, I bring you my newly designed sig-fig! Yay!

*refreshes page several times*

Oooh, lamp-shaped pants! This theme looks pretty nice. Might have to pick a few of these up for Ariel and Flounder especially.

I just wish I had helped out more. Bakinf was great, though, even if I couldn't figure out how to bake a Loaf O' Banana Bread,

1.) Quite a few games. And I've hosted one as well as somewhat cohosted another. 2.) I've got a lot more free time, so yes. 3.) I'm still fairly new to mafia, and although I've been playing for a year, I still don't feel like I really have a true playing style due to being a "noob" still. For those reasons I'd pick Iounn, the Goddess of Youth.

You have your opinion and I have mine. It could easily be considered Series 12, just because it isn't labeled doesn't mean it can't be considered Series 12 by LEGO. Team GB is not a normal series because it was exclusive to a specific area. Series 11was not exclusive because it was released nearly worldwide, like most series. That s hardly exclusive, unless you mean it's excluding parts of Europe. I guess you could really say both of our logic is flawed, as you make some decent points as well, but sime don't make sense to me. In my eyes, 10 of these figures could easily fit into the normal series. Other than the three main characters and the robots, they could all fit in a normal series. They might not all make good figure ideas, but they could easily be put into a normal series. The bad cop might be tough to fit in too, but if it didn't have a eversible expression I could definitely see it fitting in. Where do you get the MMORPG series being a USA/Asia exclusive too??

I get what you're saying, but there was a series already out when the GB figures were released. There won't be another series out, unless you count Series 11. Otherwise, this series is slated for the same release as Series 12 would be. If this were to follow the patterns of GB, another special series, don't you think we'd be getting a normally labeled series alongside it? Just because it doesn't say Series 12 on it doesn't mean it won't be counted. The MMORPG could easily be counted as a normal series as well. Also, there were other reasons why Series 11 wasn't released in Europe. As it was released everywhere else, it's not a special series, unlike GB, which was exclusive to one place. Your logic is flawed too.

Yes, but the Olympic series was likely not numbered because it was released in different parts of Europe exclusively, so if it was numbered, it would have screwed up the numbering system of the series. If this were like the Olympic Series, don't you think we'd have news of another series running alongside this one, as it's likely going to be released January, the first CMF release date of each year? 32 CMF's running alongside eachother seems a bit overkill, IMO. I lean towards this series and the next being included, but only time will tell. You're right that they could come later, but even then it would be running alongside another 16 minifigures in the personally dreaded Simpsons series. I just have a hard time seeing the logic in LEGO making customers wait a full year to get the next numbered series, just because of two special series that could easily be counted in the mix. It really doesn't change anything whether it's counted or not, however.

Well, just because it doesn t say Series 12 on the packs doesn't mean it's not going to be counted as Series 12. I have a hard time believing that they'd only release one series that was actually labeled as a specific numbered series in a year, especially since it wouldfd be the final wave of the year. If it were released in January and lasted the whole year, then that would make sense, but I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be considered Series 12 other than the fact that it's not on the packs. We'll see in September whether the packs are labeled Series 12 or 14, only time will tell. I was anxious to see these figures, and I'm alrit with how the series turned out. I'm disappointed about all the robots and how we get main characters, but really, a lot of these figures could have been seen in a normal series. The cat lady is a bit disappointing after just having a series with a pretty similar Grandma, but it's still decently designed. The designs and new pieces are great, and I'm actually kind of looking forward to the series now.

Great game, everybody, even if it was short. My games always end up short. Cam I actually call this hosting? Sorry for being a shitty cohst, Hinckley. Guess I can't expect CMF 2 to last longer than Day 4

Mmm, bread

Oh look, the banana bread is rising Nope, just the reflection from the oven.

Wow, it looks like our killer has a gun coming from their nipple. Oddly enough, my banana bread still isn't ready.

Huh? Cohost? I declare my name to be Sir Basset Corgington III, baker extraordinaire. *Ding* Banana bread's ready!
