Welcome to LiquiScoop, the #1 weekly newsletter for everything that goes on in the Teamliquid.net forums! Here you'll find notable threads, notable posters, and some fun original content as well.
A big thanks to IntoTheWow and dronebabo for their tireless help, as well as Oxy and Smurg who do all the great photoshop work for us. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Enjoy!
I have some bad news for everyone. Due to some staff issues, this will be our last LiquiScoop for a while, perhaps indefinitely. Long story short, I can't keep it up each week at its current level of quality, and neither can Chris or Agustin, especially now that Chris (dronebabo) has been banned and Agustin (IntoTheWow) is moving house. We don't want to do a half-effort job, so we decided to stop for a while. It's been fun and maybe we'll restart it again sometime. I know this is sort of abrupt and it seemed like we were going strong, but all good things must come to an end sometime. I'd like to thank you to all our readers, and to everyone who has shown us support. I know your first question will be "Is this really the end of LiquiScoop? The answer would be nobody really knows, except for me, because I was lying and we aren't really stopping. We are just taking one week off for Thanksgiving (next week). The next LiquiScoop will be posted on December 4th, and will be a big double edition.
Week of 11/13/06 to 11/19/06 [014]

Funny Post of the Week #2
- In Attn Ontario People:

To make a long story short, a friend of mine moved to Hamilton some months back to go to some dental hygene school. Anyways, she's supposed to get a certain number of clients by some certain day and it's tough cause she's from Alberta and doesn't know many Ontario folk.
So here's the deal. Who wants to get a free cleaning and is willing to volunteer their time? It's probably an hour or two max and a one shot deal.
Not enough? Let me get to the heart of the matter - my friend Erin is a very, very attractive woman and any guy in his right mind would be thrilled to spend a couple of hours in her attention.
Hah, now you're interested! Trust me, I'd be down to if I didn't live so far away. So post here if you're living around Toronto and are interested and I'll PM you in order to pass your info on to her. Obviously I'd rather it be people I've known around these forums the last few years, but beggars can't be choosers, right?

Forum Statistic of the Week

+ Show Spoiler +2X+1% of TL users think algebra is useless.
Crusade against Homework Threads
- They know now. One does not simply walk into TL and post a Homework thread. It's Blue Forums are guarded by more than just Posters. There is a crusade there that does not sleep, and the Great Mani is ever watchful. It is a forum riddled with contributive users, posts, and threads. Not with ten thousand lazy homework thread creators could you do this. It is folly.
- Our power is growing. This week, the Great Mani closed a homework thread before any of our zealots even noticed. But with our swiftness also comes mercy, as another hardworking homework-doer was spared.
- Triumphs: 1 2 3 4 5
Old Closed Forum Thread of the Week
- Each week, we at LiquiScoop find one thread from the Closed Forum. These threads are diamonds in the rough, underappreciated secret threads that the Mods did not want you to see. They will now get their well-deserved time in the spotlight. Unfortunately you can't post in them, but you can view them, jaws agape in utter awe, mouth salivating in anticipation at what hidden treasures the Closed Forum will yield next week. This week's OCFTotW is titled "[CS]Pablo I need YOU." Click to find out why it may be the deepest, most thought-provoking Closed Forum thread since M2's Dog.
Ban of the Week
- This week's honor goes to Klogon, who banned Bubbles TWM due to his excessive one-liners. Nobody is safe!
LiquiScoop Fanmail of the Week
- Our fans seek the wisdom of Bubbles, the LiquiScoop Warrior Monkey.

Oh Bubbles! You got banished by the evil Dr. Hyun! How are you going to take revenge?
Hot_Bid wrote:
Sorry, he's banned, so I'm going to answer these. Klogon may come down with a bad case of shiruken-in-throat within the next couple days.

Bubbles! Why did you get banned?! T_T
Hot_Bid wrote:
He posted too many one liners and fucked up his movie lines anyway.
MTF wrote:
I'm curious, obviously. How exactly did you get the title "Warrior Monkey"? Did you kick some serious monkey ass, maybe some of it ninja-ass alongside Mr. Argentina, back home? ^_^
Hot_Bid wrote:
He's a ninja. It's self explanatory.

<3 Bubbles. Can I burrow him on friday night? pleaseeeeeeee?
Hot_Bid wrote:
Depends on what you want to burrow him in. The ground? No. Your boobs? No. A restrictive cage where he answers fanmail? Maybe.

The letters under liquiscoop title are written in Fëanorean Tengwar characters. I'm fairly sure it's Quenya. My elfish is so bad now. I remember when I was full out Tolkien nerd ^^ Not so much anymore.
Hot_Bid wrote:
That's pretty impressive, you are correct. However, what does the elfish actually say?
