+ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler +An insecure young boy named Jonathan Walsh moves into a new town with his recently remarried mother and stepdad. Feeling ostracized as the new kid on the block, Jonny tries to make friends with the other boys. But they spurn him when they realize that Jonny knows next to nothing about Starcraft -- not even who the "The Emperor" (Lim Yo Hwan) is. Dejected and lonely, Jonny begins to feel he will always be an outsider. Then Vicky "The Nazgul" Goossens, the best player in school, befriends him and things change quickly: the boys are more willing to accept Jonny, despite their reservations, and they have fun playing in a lag free LAN environment together all summer.
But a mystery lurks in this small town, a tale told in hushed tones about a creature called "The ZvP". According to legend, the monster lives just beyond the left field fence of the sandlot -- devouring Protoss players since forever. FOR-EV-ER. Jonny and Vicky embark on an adventure into the lair of this mythic behemoth, and their heroic exploits finally make Jonny a fully-accepted member of the gang. The already popular Vicky becomes a living legend to the other boys.
Funny Post of the Week
- In I stood up to a bully...:

I was always a quiet kid in school, the one who would always do his homework and any extra credit he could find. I would read 1-2 chapters ahead of where everyone was at.. I was the man when it came to academics. What I lacked was... strength, personality, popularity, friends, and any social skills whatsoever.
A bully at my school noticed this, and ever since the second grade he has tormented me.. he never lets me forget how much of a failure I am at life outside of the academic world.
If a girl talks to me, I will mumble something, blush, and walk away. If a guy talks to me I will try to say something 'cool' but mess it up horribly and they will just stare or make fun of me. If an adult talks to me I will try to be polite, but end up being too polite and they will think I'm weird.
Anyways.. that's not what I'm posting about. In present time, 11th grade, that same bully torments me in the halls of my school. Put stuff in my locker, pushes me around, knocks my glasses off... rips up my homework if he can find it in my really organized binder. He does anything he can to hurt me and make me embarassed.
Well the other day it got serious, I tried to stand up to him. I said "hey man whats your problem leave me alone or youll regret it!" hes like "what are you gonna do punk?"... well, I took a swing at him, and hit him straight on. He rubbed his face, laughed, then knocked my ass out flat on the floor.
I was scared to go home, being in a fight is definately gonna get me grounded. When I got home my mom was waiting, and she said "How was school?".. did she not know? I took my chances and said "it was fine.."
She looked very upset, and said, "Your teacher called, and said you got in a fight" I protested "Mom.. it wasn't anything serious dont get upset" she now looked pretty infuriated and said "'You're movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!'
So I whistled for a cab and when it came near, The license plate said 'Fresh', and had dice in the mirror, If anything i could say that this cab was rare, But I thought 'Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!'
I pulled up to the house at bout seven or eight, I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo home, smell ya later!' I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there! To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

Hello Bubbles,
I'm a big fan. I'd like to know what's your place among the other liquiscoop members. Maybe you could clarify things for me. Which sexual relations do you have? Do you really like bananas? Why did you have to hire Hot_Bid? Are you the one behind the scenes pulling strings and just using the other's tongues?
Good luck and have fun,
Konni
