New Years

Aye, it'll be a new year soon, as everyone is obligated to write somehing about this on their blog, we are no exception here at Zibbudie Babbuhl.

I'm going to make this short and ever so sweet, I can't stand new years.

I did not like this year, 2005, it was garbage in my opinion, I watched more than one person ruin their lives, that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Here's to 2006, let's see how humanity fares this time.
---

On another note:

Zibbudie Babbuhl now has it's own Warhammer 40k "League"

Players include Myself, Andre, Seb and Kendall(and hopefully Jemsy)

The game, is well, another venture, like Heroclix, like well, anything I decide to play and bring everyone on the bandwagon, but this game is expensive as christ, and well, fun as all hell too, we will document the campaigns of Zibbudie Babbuhl as they happen, my Force of the Canadian 5th will see Humanity to victory, that I can assure you.
----

Also, the contest deadline is rapidly approaching, only another week until it's all over, make sure to finish up soon, remember, a free game of your system choice, free, nadda zip, on us, it's a good prize, I mean, we could just fling crap at you like our monkey ancestors, but what's the fun in that.

Christmas Loot

Yes Yes, a christmas loot post, you know it was coming, so sit down, shut up and enjoy it, i'm just kidding, you can leave whenever you want.

i'll start with myself first.

I received the Band of Brothers special DVD set, 6 DVD's of pure awesomeness, I got 50$, which went towards my Imperial Guard Army, and best of all, which I just found out today.

I am now the proud owner of a 1941 M1 Garand and 1938 Colt .45 pistol(and various other weapons) which my grandfather "liberated" from a fallen soldiers in WW2, the things are in damn near perfect condition, just need to find some 30.06 ammo and I can go to a firing range and test the thing out once, then it goes back into the archives, I can't believe I held such a huge piece of history to my family, none of the weapons in the archives were ever taken out, now they're all mine.

Andre to my knowledge got the Ork Codex and 40$ and various things from my family and such, and well, damn near half the food we made for dinner on the 25th so i'd consider that a good haul.

Jemsy got some small stuff as well, 50$ and I think Claudio got him the west side story DVD, which is pretty fucking funny, zing

(Jemsy says: Zing. Zing, indeed.)

People will probably go into more detail by editing the post as they see it, so stay tuned.

Same Zibbudie Babbuhl channel, same Zibbudie Babbuhl time.

A Zibbudie Babbuhl Pre-Christmas

Aye it's that time of year again, in just a while it's christmas, there's alot of hoopla going around and the locals are preparing for the yearly venture to church, myself and Andsre, our families go every year, Andre to St.Ignatius of Loyola and my family to St.Monica's(Damn Catholics) we do this every year, I am unsure of Jemsy's customs so he will not be included in this retinue at the moment, he has gone MIA for the past 3 days however, so we may not see a light shedded onto his customs for quite some time.

Suffice it to say, with zest and zeal we will keep the traditions of Zibbudie Babbuhl going even among this holiday, ironically we don't really have any Zibbudie Babbuhl traditions as of yet, so i'll make some up now.

1. At the stroke of midnight those practitioners of the Zibbudie Babbuhl ideaology may perform the Zibbudie Babbuhl dance and song routine, for one verse.

2. Those members of Zibbudie Babbuhl must shelter any homeless chinchillas they come across(pretty chinchilla or otherwise)

3. An offering shall be made to spongebob and his pineapple under the sea, the offering is usually a pizza, delivered at opportune moments.

4. Zibbudie Babbuhl will be said at least once during the day.

5. You must have fun.

Have a Safe and Happy Christmas from Zibbudie Babbuhl to you.

The party's on

Her name reminds me of the stars..
I saw diamonds divide..corners of her eye <3

It's been a year.

Yeah guys, the Zibbudie Babbuhl Lane has been up for a year now, how time flys,we were such a modgepodge of general craziness back then, not to say we aren't still such a modgepodge now, but we are now frighteningly organized and strong when we set our minds to things, i'd like to think that Zibbudie Babbuhl has become a sort of group where you can find intellectuals, humor and a sense of friendship and dedication, we're not paladins of justice or whatnot, but I think we have our heads on our shoulders.

Alot of things happened during the year, and even more has happened within 3 months, some good, mostly bad, but we salvaged from that what we could, and we're still going strong, still thinking of new hijinx and spreading the word of Zibbudie Babbuhl to those who might hear it.

Here's to a new year of Zibbudie Babbuhl

Let's take a look at the members of Zibbudie Babbuhl before the new year starts.


Kyle/Rusty/Bobbertson


James/Jems/Shenbobba


Andre/.../Well, we just call him Andre


Have a good holiday from Zibbudie Babbuhl, enjoy yourselves.

Cause the last relationship fucked me up
Got hurt majorly, find it tough to trust <3

An update

Why hello, wayward travellers.

Zibbudie Babbuhl is sort of going through a roadbump with it's members, Jemsy has had a man poke and prod at his mouth, he is currently tending to wounds, his voice, a grim reminder of the proper ways of dental hygiene.

Andre is sick with the cold/flu, whichever it is, I saw him naught 6 hours past, he looks like hell, sounds like hell, and well, yeah he's not doing too good.

Myself, i'm actually getting out of my bronchitis(I had bronchitis for about 3 months) it feels good to be able to breathe again, I feel quite rejuvenated, i'm still coughing a bit, but hopefully it'll subside sooner or later, doing volunteer work for schools and the military humantarian aid(christmas gifts for the poor)

An update to the contest:

The contest will go as such.

The Lyrics will be sent in to the specified e-mail before 11:59pm January 8th, 2006.

I will personally check the accuracy of the answers and such asap, and confirm any winners.

If there is more than one(1) winner there will be a small questionaire about the history of Zibbudie Babbuhl and it's various members, so read up while you still can.(whomever answers the most questions correctly wins)

For the winner they have a choice(s)

We(Zibbudie Babbuhl) meet you at Carrefour Angrignon, we will purchase whatever game for whatever system you choose, you'll be there with us, right on the front lines, we will then as a group, go and eat(place to be determined by various factors) we will take photos and make it into a big post commemorating the first ZBL contest(there will be more)

They're may be 2 ZB members or the whole lane(9 people Evan sadly cannot attend) whomever can attend this event will make a concerned effort to show up.

Or.

We simply buy the game and mail it to you with a small letter of thanks or whatnot, maybe a picture of the Lane members signed for idiotic posterity.(This option may be chosen for those who live near us, since you might not want anything to do with a roving band of idiots, for those who are entering from places other than montreal this is the only option we can offer you, we cannot fly u dere due to logistical reasons)

That's about it, Good Luck and take a snoop around for games that might suit your fancy that are coming out within a month.

I personally like the whole going to Carrefour Angrignon, I could use a spicy chickn sandwich.

A Special Contest! Highlight Kyle's wacky taste in music, win a game!

Hey!

I do not have a long time to talk but here's the skinny, gumshoes!

On almost every one of my posts here on the blog there are random lyrics from songs, i've decided to do something with them.

If you can tell me which song each lyric is from (using whatever means necessary, with the exception of asking a ZBL member) I award you a video game!

I'll offer a hint crimebreakers! if you know my musical taste, it will be much easier to decode, every lyric is from a song I have.

Some more info:

If more than one person gets the lyrics we will have quiz based game over msn at a designated time, questioning your knowledge of Zibbudie Babbuhl, so read up on your history.

I have made a count of my total posts, it is estimated at about 83, now, not all of my posts have lyrics attached to the end of them, so be wary.

The person who wins can choose what system the game will be for, but we will choose the game. Trust in the Babbuhl. We do this shit for a living, honestly. Be sure to tell us which ones you already have, though.

Go from newest to oldest, oldest to newest, whatever you like, so long as there is some order and you include the date of the post, the lyric in question, the artist (or artists) and the name of the song. Just keep it neat and get them all.

Today's post, for example: December 9th '05, "I fly a starship across the universe divide", MYSTERY ARTIST - MYSTERY SONG. Painless.

This contest is open to residents of Canada and the U.S., with the exception of those fringe places like Alaska and Hawaii that would be insane to ship to. Don't move there, okay?

Send your submission to zbcontests@gmail.com, pronto. The deadline is Monday, January 9th, 2006 at midnight.

And no, the MC Hammer one below does not count. No lyric after the name, y'know? But today's does.

May the best Babbuhler win!

Last time I play with the font sizes, I promise.

ZBL Presents: Best Album Award

We here at the ZBL have decided to make a Best Album award. Why? I dunno. But don't let that stop the good times from rolling.

Andre:

Everlast - Eat at Whitey's

Well, I'm not a big album person (growing up in the age of digital piracy and all, not to say we endorse illegal activity here at ZBL). The few albums I've purchased were for 1 or 2 songs, with the rest being just filler. However, Eat At Whitey's was the only album I ever enjoyed ALL the songs off of. Think about that. I did, which is why I'm throwing in my vote for Eat At Whitey's by Everlast as Best Album.

Kyle:

Daft Punk - Discovery

Now, i'm no musician, I play the harmonica for good luck(the guy with the harmonica in war movies never dies) but I like to think I know good music when I hear it, and Discovery is it, the album came out in the glorious year of 2000. I was watching MuchMusic one day, and this video came on, "One more time!" is all I hear with it's beautiful beat, I was captivated, the video was music in it's pure incarnate form, colors flashing everywhere, everyone having a great time, it was a day i'll never forget, when Discovery came into my musical spectrum. The whole album tells a wonderful story, treachery, love, happiness, joy, it's simply a wonderful experience listening to the album, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Jems:

Madvillain - Madvillainy

Madlib's smoky layers upon layers of scratchy samples from a distant era gettin' busy with today's rolling bass lines. A cool, dark, hypnotic, funny, unsettling, stylish comic book brought to life with sound. First hard to hear, then hard to stop hearing. Instrumental interludes that defy genre. MF Doom sustains his high by staring down a cracked mirror over the course of twenty-two short tracks that abandon choruses and cliches. This is rap's space rock.

- Babbuhl-Squad Out

JEMS I HATE YOU SO BAD

Zibbudie Babbuhl update

As you may have noticed, none of us at the ZBL have posted much recently, there is no catastrophic problem, we've simply been distracted by our personal vices.

Andre is doing school projects, films, scripts what have you, only today after 2 weeks of what we like to call "Babbuhl Silence" did he call me, only to ask how the last Stargate SG-1 episode went, I answered solemnly,

"Unlike the first episode of season 9, the second episode left a little to be desired, although Claudia Black on SG-1 makes it a good episode by proxy"


This is Claudia Black for you non Farscape/SG-1 watchers

Andre has alot on his plate, and has for a long time, but he still makes time for Babbuhls, albeit few and far between, they are qaulity shens.

Jemsy is also a film student, thus has the same problems as Andre, but he doesn't watch SG-1, which saddens me to no end, we make time for Babbuhls however, Three Kings was watched, were still quoting spike jones to this day.


We Three Kings....be stealin' the gold

Me, well, I'm not a film student, so I don't really have an excuse, i've been really ill however, and well, work takes up a good amount of my time, and well, to my knowledge, I ship off pretty soon, so were getting ready for that over here in my family.


A younger Cpl.Adam, tainted by youth and bravado

Once things settle down a bit we'll get more into the swing of things, until then well, you're just gonna have to sit down and enjoy this slow ride into madness.

Looking to fill a part-time job

Aye, not a ZBL post, but an important one, well at least to our readers, I filled a job in my store already, however, one of the affiliates of my boss is looking for part-time/full time worker(s), it's for an Indian restaurant, for general help, waiting, cleaning, greeting and such, if you're interested, please leave a comment and i'll get back to you, this is essentially a guaranteed job, no interviews no waiting, a job on the spot.

Thanks.

Penny Arcade Forum battles

Yes, you heard right, another contest in Penny Arcade!

after winning the SE++(Social Entropy) Magic tournament, I decided to enroll in the Forum battles, hoping i'm on a proverbial roll, the matches were made, things were said, people have already lost, and my first match is against a very prominent forum vet known only as "The Geek"

Now, unlike me, he has alot of exploitable weaknesses, one of these weaknesses is a veritable affinity for Disney, and all things disney, especially the movie Lilo and Stitch, I plan to exploit this weakness to it's full potential.

My first idea was essentially creating a sort of battlefiueld, dressing myself in full combats and making a mock war, running and shit, all sounds of war in the background, talking to the camera, pondeirng upon my existence and the validity of this senseless conflict, only to hear that the enemy was making it's final rush, have stitch tied to a tree, camera pans on him quickly, as if he were a malignant power, only equaled to the Heilghast, I then rush towards him, and eviscerate him thusly with my trusted Bayonet/Multi-tool.

What do you think?

Zibbudie Babbuhl goes to the Army

So, I took my Army physical test today, and a few cool things happened.

I sit down on a bench waiting for this whole shindig to unfurl, i'm pretty damn nervous, I grab at my left wrist, trying to stabilize it, I know there's going to be the hand-grip test, and I know i'm going to fail it, when suddenly I hear a door open.

"Adam!!" I hear, I look up, it's my old friend from Basic, 2lt.Demers, I haven't seen him in almost 2 years, turns out he's deploying alongside the RMR in May for afghanistan, so he's has to do the test, so it's me and him, a former Combat Engineer and a Engineer officer with a bunch of RMR reservists doing a physical test.

we were getting ready to do the running test and we get a visit from one of the Padre's on base, he's in his vestments and such, shaking our hands giving us his blessing, when he strips his vestments off and he's wearing PT gear, the Padre says he's gonna run the PT test with us, and 10$ says he's going to win, we all throw in the money, there's about 120$ sitting on a table, and I could really use 120$.

Now, this Padre was crazy, like, fucking crazy, I don't know why he's a Padre, he could easily be a soldier, he looked about 160lbs, shaved head to the bear of his skin, and a tattoo on the side his head of the Canadian forces emblem.

We all got on our respective starting marks, and the test started, I must have ran for what seemed like an hour, it was actually about 7-8 minutes, I ran 6+ km's, whil I stopped, I looked at the Padre, he was reaching level 13 in the test, without even garnering a sweat, it must be the shaved head, suffice it to say, the Padre came out of that contest 120$ richer, the test official told us that the Padre in question was a champion Canadian Forces: Great Freedom runner, it's like the biggest marathon in all of the Canadian Forces, so the Padre comes back into the room, gives us all our money back, and says to never trust a man of faith, at least where gambling is concerned.

I just thought the whole thing was funny.

GIS for today is: Padre

Like holding a hairy baby

Today, on our Game & Sammich thursday, myself and Jemsy ventured into Safari to look at various animals, and pretend to pet them through the glass, and name them(the big one is bitey) but...but something magical happened, a woman, whom shalt be named "Melanie" was at the chinchilla cage as I fawned over them, she instinctivly opened the cage, plucked a chinchilla out and handed him to me.

It was so fucking awesome, it was holding a baby, the things are so timid and gentle, they chew at everything, and they're bite is nothing, it's so small and fast, jesus are they fast, very wormy animals, but so lovely and playful.

I named the Chinchilla: Pépé

I am buying one asap.

GIS of the day: Chinchilla

A tribute to: Johnny Cash

Zibbudie Babbuhl likes Mr.Cash, we really do, he's a grade A rockin' dude, one of the best musicians ever, many people odn't like country, which is great(screw you, you make me sick)but what mr.Cash did is beyond country, it's honestly a sound of it's own, Johnny Cash is one of the few artists in which I enjoy all his music, truly a man beyond his time.

He was a rockin' dude.

Your GIS today is none other than Johnny Cash:

A new ritual is born

Myself and Jems, we like games, to satiate our need for games we have to go and buy them, this requires us, going outside, communicating with other human beings, it's hard to not make stupid noises every 6 seconds, it requires a great modicum of self-control, but we manage to gather some civility for at least a 2 minutes exchange of words to tellers and various service-persons of the food industry.

Out of this, we have decided to enact a ritual of terrible evil, which will schism the earth at the very mention of it's name, to that end, we have decided to give the ritual a name which we can use.

I give you:

GAME & SAMMICH THURSDAY(s)

the ritual is simple, when either of us has the yearning to purchase a game, we swing by angrignon, we buy what we need, and we top the day off with KFC spicy chicken sandwich, it's more elaborate to be certaun, but I cannot give our secrets away to the public, careful planning goes into these excursions, canaries are sent, people die.

But I can tell you our next purchase: Operation Flashpoint: Elite, a military sandbox/simulation game, we've been waiting a while for this to hit the stores, and we pick it up tommorow, and more stuff possibly for me, I have a zellers giftcard to use and more money than I know.

We will take pictures to regale our adventure as always.

You get a special GIS edition today, today's GIS is none other than:
