New Feature: World Post Titles In Backroom
While this has been an oft-requested feature I predict that it will take a little time for everyone to get used to it. (I've had it enabled for myself about a month now and the first week it annoyed me, then after some time I found it delightful.)
Here's the update: Rather than the name of your friends' worlds appearing in your backroom news feed, the title of their POST now appears.
Check it out and comment here with any feedback. Cheers--

Batou's sick, and that's all I'll mention for now. I need to explain some stuff: pineapple buns. Alright, turns out there's nothing pineappley about it, just that they kinda look like them - they're mostly just regular style buns with what's essentially baked cookie dough on top of it. Here, have a picture burgled from Wikipedia:
Supposedly soboro-pan would be the Japanese equivalent. So yeah, pineapple buns. They're delicious. And Ichigo, while your guess on what they're like was a bit off, you can get variants filled with coconut, or custard, or good ol' barbecued pork. Go get some.
Oh, also, Ichigo apparently has a girlfriend in Japan. I know, eh?

Caption Battle: Kao Is Kowai...
This week's caption battle is brought to you by Sunday Morning Work Shifts: remember, when you request a day off, you're making someone else very, very unhappy!
But first, last week's winners:
In third place with his love of Discovery Channel: TimeChaser!
On the next episode of MythBusters: Can you cut an Inuyasha in half with a sword?
BUSTED!
In second place, dry like a fine martini: schultzie!
See what happens when guys play swords, one of them goes home disappointed.
And in the coveted first place, with a clever reinterpretation as well as how I often value snap more than most other factors... xfishyx!
Fangirls come in all shapes and forms.
Also, Grayfire gets a special mention for knowing what the hell I was talking about last week. Awesome. Now time is moving along and I wanna sleep, so let's continue...
This week's screencap comes courtesy of Keen Havoc and features the series Battletoads: The Anime. The characters are, from left to right, Nina, Panthro, and Wilykat. Go for it:
