The rest of the pokemon

Ok, just kidding, I'm not gonna be such a pooper about the pokemon because they're not as exciting the second time around apparently. Here are the rest of the cards I've already made:



I might make more eventually, but probably not until after finals. Let me know if you still want one.

GSC Wk 3, Plus Some Musings

It felt weird, having my last class today. And it's even weirder knowing that I'm not completely done yet, either. One more huge paper and then two finals, and that's it. As far as I'm concerned, I'm already mentally gone, but that's another matter altogether. It's disheartening to know that we have just a little over a week and a half left together on this floor, but I'm also looking forward to summer (a much-needed break).

But in the meantime, here are the answers from last week's Game Show Challenge:

Wheel Puzzles:

$1000: FOOD COURT

$2000: GOURMET

$3000: PAPERWEIGHT

Feud:

Name a specific place you'd hate to be if there was a major power failure.

1. Elevator (36)

2. Subway/Train (11)

3. Work/Office bldg. (9)

4. Mall/Store (7)

5. Home/Basement (7)

6. Doctor/Surgery (6)

Name a big city in Texas.

1. Houston (40)

Tara: 1000 (Wheel) + 130 (Feud) + 97 (Feud Sweep Bonus) = 1227

On to Week Three. Let me clarify a few rules:

--For Feud, you are trying to guess all the answers on the survey at once. If you get them all, the points for that board are doubled.

--Wheel and Jeopardy are pretty self-explanatory.

More peoplemon cards

Glad everyone liked my first set of cards. I made some more, as promised. Here are the ones for people who specifically requested cards be made. This is exciting, it's like moving onto the Johto region after the first season and discovering a whole new set of pokemon!!! I have like seven more done, but here's the dealio. They take a long time to make so I'm gonna ration them. Every time somebody else makes a decent post (not just a link to a youtube video), I will post one peoplemon card (the card of person who posted, unless theirs is already up, then I'll pick a random person). Enjoy.

BK4 Idol

What is to become of the BK4 idol after we leave BK4 in the next 2 weeks?

Hollenbeck just declared a BRILLIANT idea: After we leave we come back and sneak it into someone's room next year. Keep the tradition going.

Currently in shock that a SSPRING ADMIT came up with such a good idea.

hAHah.

Alright, let's do it.

Bye.

Pokemon Cards

Hey guys, my friend from home sent me this link: http://pokemoncardmaker.org/ and I started making Pokemon Cards for everybody on the floor. The problem is it takes a loooong time to make each card, so I'm not gonna be able to make the whole deck of BK4 probably. If you're a loyal blog follower I will make you a card, just post your name in the comments to show that you've read this post (or talk to me). I'll try to make as many as I can before summer.

Here are some examples I've already made.

Mr. Tee

Hello everyone!

Last night a new member was added to the BK4 family and his name is Mr. Tee!

In celebration of the end of the year the creators of this amazing new being have decided that it would be really cool if everyone got to wear Mr. Tee at least once before we leave for the summer, whatcha guys think?

A call for photos!

Hey BK4! Elliot, the building government chair, is making a scrapbook for Birnkrant to show off how awesome we are (I think URSC is asking for it). Since we're by far the most awesome floor in BK, we should def. be represented in that book.

If you have any pictures (facebook or otherwise) that you'd like included in the scrapbook (make sure they're of legal things, haha), send them either to me on facebook (just copy paste the URL for them) or send them right to elliot if you're friends.

They have to have either been taken in BK or on a floor trip we took (whether jon organized it or not).

Represent BK4!!! (Send in the pics by friday at the latest)

stop fokken around

I'm trying really hard to be sad about the end of the school year and leaving BK4....

but everyone is making it so difficult.

T-Shirts for Everyone!!!

Hey guys, I decided to complete what I started when I put up all those pictures of cool things from thinkgeek.com. This time I went to bustedtees.com and picked out a t-shirt for everybody (well, almost everybody, some people I missed, if I missed you let me know and I'll get you one). In order to not go crazy, i didn't include thinkgeek or any of the other good t-shirt companies in this search, that would be tooo many. Some of these are perfect. Some aren't. Please don't be offended by yours, it's all in good fun!

We'll start with the Gentlemen:

Sam (because he's definitely a superhero. Have you seen him shirtless?!?)


Jon (our lovable RA):


JT:

and


Me:


Brennan:


Pheep:


Kevin (irony?):

or you could always go for the obvious


Carlo:


Will (even though he would never say sorry):


Alex (dominating at iPhone scrabble since 2009):

also he likes to sleep.

seriously


Hollaback:


Not that I feel qualified to pick one for Drew, but I kinda think he'd like this one:
Drew:


Tom:


Justin (the most BAMF jew on this floor):


Quin:



Anish:


Fishman


Richard


Derek


JJ

and


Anthony (Beethoven would have eaten the muffin)




And... on to the ladies!


Mary (have you seen her room?)


Andrea:
I don't know Andrea's true allegiances, but is anybody really on team Leno?


Sonal:


And Sonia


Avril:

or... since you were so adamant about not having a lost one (even though this one is subtle and pretentious and only true lost fans would get it)

(oh snap, Never Again)

Christina


Malia


Laila:


Regina:


Sandra:

Michelle (Preeeeee-Med!):

Tif (sneaky asian):


Tandra:
