@Mumsie ab-so-lute-ly me!
-
Hey I'm a page changer, but not a notable one!
-
Congrats! @hunnybunny
Btw. @hunnybunny - Where are you from? :)
Sorry @all haven't been too much in the voice lately, 'cause I was visiting my parents and today my granny passed away so if someone's got upset with my comments, I'm really sorry, didn't mean to upset anyone :( I'm just a bit confused right now :( -
@Lisko Wales
-
@Lisko sorry to hear that
-
@lisko so sorry to hear the sad news. Have a (((hug))).
-
Thanks @HunnyBunny & @Mumsie! I know it was expectable, 'cause she was over 90's so there really wasn't much hope anymore, but she slept away so that's a relief. Gosh, I'm almost 30 y. and yet it hits so hard when your last grand parent dies...Maybe I'm some kind of freak...
@Hunnybunny You've been in Finland? Where exactly if I may ask? :) And my next goal is to get to visit the AB -park in Särkänniemi :) It's about 15min away from our house, but we didn't get there last year! So if you're coming to Finland and want to visit the park then just tell me and you can (@all of you can, but not at the same time :D) stay at our house so you don't need to pay any hotels :D -
Lets all hope Lisko's gran, my parents and all we loved and lost are dancing and laughing and hugging together. As a friend said about her Gran "Having a blast in Heaven"
-
@Lisko Helsinki, for one day only on a cruise around the Baltic. Very enjoyable, seeing all those countries, if only for a few hours, that I would not visit normally. I remember someone saying you can walk for nine hundred miles from Helsinki to the Arctic circle without barely crossing a road or seeing another person. Is this true?
-
@Hunnybunny - Depends where you're walking :D But in Helsinki it's a bit hard NOT to cross any roads or seeing any person :D (Well, okay, I lived in Helsinki only about 6 months so maybe it's true, but no one just didnät tell me that :D) In Tampere that could happen, maybe if it's early enough (and the weekend) :D You @all really should come to Tampere! We could have some kind of AB meet there and check out the Ab park! Too bad that most of the nesters live in US so it's pretty much impossible :/ Would be so nice to meet you all!
-
Off to bed, now. I don't really understand about the flashlights, candles, etc (not been visiting BP for long) but hope they all burn bright for those who need them x
-
@Lisko -- Sorry to hear about your Gran. Not sure it gets any better when you get older, but probably easier at 30 than when a teen. Fortunately my last grandparent, and by far the one I new best, lived to be 96, and was mostly not there for months before, so I think that made it easier.
Speaking of AB activity parks, Peter Vesterbacka sent me a list of all the ones I'm missing, so I will be putting them all on the map.
Finland seems to be on the way to St. Petersberg, so there may be more Americans visiting than you think.
-
@Lisko -- Can you believe there are 8 AB Activity Parks in Finland? Some are public, some cost money, and some are indoors! Finland will be very full of yellow pins the next time I update the map.
-
Hey, now that I think about it, why is the place called "The Bloated Pig"? Any story behind it? Or just a random name to do with the game?
-
Oh, and I am ready to order something to eat.
-
@fooly8 -- Not sure where the name bloated pig is explained, but it might be on the first page. My memory is that it was somewhat a mistake. If you want something to eat, just ask OB or the Blues.
-
@Fooly8 If you want to order food, simply tell Orange Bird or flag down one of the Blues and they will bring your order. Also, there is a lot of info on Page 1 that is worth a read.
As far as the name...
It was actually meant to be called The Bloated Bird. But when I named this thread almost a year ago, I typed The Bloated Pig. It was a small typo that made this place what it is today. -
Thanks for helping @mvnla2. I was typing on my phone.
-
Ok! Thanks, @rdnzlrips82 and @mvnla2 !!
-
-
@Fooly8 -- Are those the names of the Blues? Where did you find them?
-
They are the official names that appear in Angry Birds Triology Bird Bios and in my Gran Libro Oficial de los Angry Birds (The official big book of Angry Birds.) J-Birds: Jim, Jay and Jake.
-
By the way, the name reminds me of Pig Puffer Powerup. Oh, my food arrived *eats bacons and superseeds*. This should be in the menu. Bird-Pig combo!!
-
Hmm... i just got new AB-themed food for the restaurant. Can I tell them to you?
-
(you is @rdnzlrips82 )
-
-
@mvnla2 - Wow, I didn't know there are so many AB parks here O.O Actually the one in Tampere is the only one I knew :D But I'm not surprised at all. AB is a huge brand here. You really can't find a market or a small store that's not full of everything from plushies to make up -stuff, calendars, folders, notebooks and clothes. There's also coffee, sodas and candy :D
-
GUYS I have so much to tell you. I don't even know where to start.
First off, the St. Louis trip was AWESOME!!! We went to six flags and rode some rides, played some music in a performance, and rode some more rides.
The next day we went to the St Louis arch. I was freaked out going up the elevator because it kept rotating and clicking and stuff. When I was at the top it reminded me of the first Percy Jackson book.
After we got off the buses (CHARTER buses, by the way ; ) ) I gave my unsuspecting band teacher some veryveryvery sour gum. Then I took a picture of his face and sent it to everyone I knew. He said he'd get back at me......
And now that the wifi works, I just got all the updates at once. Soooooo.....
Which one should I play first? -
King Obsessive Compulsive Everything-Has-To-Be-Perfect Disorder here just uninstalled/reinstalled all of Angry Birds Space because his friend beat a level with a power-up leaving a ugly little lightning symbol on the level that made the screen inconsistent. :P I'll have fun re-three-starring it though, so wish me luck.
-
@AngryBirdsSpaceMaster - Haha, did you give your friend a lesson too? :D Good luck with three-starring!
I've been struggling with the daily challenge, but I think I'll give up soon...Should probably start planning what we're going to eat today. I think hot wings could be a very good option :D -
Ah King Obsessive Compulsive Everything-Has-To-Be-Perfect Disorder. I suffer too. Also have really bad case of I'm-So-Competitive-I-Can-Sulk-For-Weeks-If-I-Lose

100% achievements on ABSW see you next update @angermanagement

Well, finished my bacon. Bye!!

*leaves bloated pig*

Hello, everyone!
Just swooping in to say hi and wish everyone well.
@Lisko, so sorry about your grandmother; it's so hard to lose someone you love. I'm sure we all send you feathers of comfort. [Hugs!]
@Ripsy, thanks for sharing the fun fact of the "secret truth" of how The Bloated Pig came to be named. Personally, I now like it even better!
@Fooly8 - Welcome to ABN! So impressive that you new the names of the blues. Glad you're making yourself at home; hope you'll visit us often. And you clearly have a taste for fine cuisine. :-)
Welcome home @theanonymoussomeone! So glad to hear you had a great time in St. Louis. Sounds like Shenanigans were had by all.
How nice that you've become a regular already, @HunnyBunny! Thank you for asking about the food ordering, because I wasn't clear on that myself. Perhaps you and I can figure out the bedtime rituals also; one of the "old-timers" around here might be kind enough to clue us in. Also, lovely to hear that you're from Wales -- we've visited friends who were living in Wales years ago, and would LOVE to go back. Can't remember now exactly where we were, but it was beautiful. Been to England, Wales, and Scotland several times over the years, and would go back in a heartbeat. Sadly, we don't get to travel much these days. I think you either get to own a house, or you get to have a life. :-)
Hello @CC-Jolly, @mvnla2, @mumsie, @SamStyle102 (congrats!), @AngryBirdsSpaceMaster, and anyone else who's hanging about.
-
Morning, @junkenmetel:) I thought all AB fans knew the name of all birds, I don't even have to look at Google, Red, Chuck, Bomb, Jay, Jake & Jim, Matilda, Bubbles, Al, Stella. And you called yourselves AB fans, thats like being a STAR WARS mega fan and not knowing who Bib Fortuna is;D

Hey hey hey, another BP newcomer, hey, @fooly8, do you have an avatar on the main site, if so then you should visit the gravatar forum, so we can see it here in the BP;)
http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forum/discussion/9/how-do-i-create-an-avatar
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, @lisko, how is your friend and brother??? -
Glad to hear your Band trip went great, @theanonymoussomeone, if I were you I would save the Pig Dipper + Hoth pt2. & CC + BFM until last, as they are the best ones:D
-
Hi @tas! So glad you had a great trip - welcome home! IMHO you should do them in any order you choose! I wouldn't dream of trying to impose my preferences on you! Such a personal thing I feel - favourites in AB episodes! Have fun flinging! Hope to see you in the leaderboards soon!
-
Hey @Mumsie -- Just finished a round of golf by tournament rules on an LA public course in 4.5 hrs! Unheard of! In case you can't figure out what I'm talking about, the norm for LA public courses is a minimum of 5.5 hrs.
My score has been classified top secret (as in for sure I'm not telling), but it was fun (except for the sand traps, which I can usually avoid). -
Evening @all! Hope everyone's doing well :)
@Kathy If you're lurking,I hope they're looking after you. Take care & get well soon honey!
@mumsie,got a note from you saying you were going to take it easy & "blob" tonight? I'm sure it was a typo but if not I'd love to hear what you've got planned.....blobbing sounds fun ;) LOL!!!
Going flirking in Rio :) have a great afternoon/evening everyone!
OB could I have a spiced Tea to go please? Many thanks :-D
-
Hi all! Hope you are all having a great day / evening / night / morning.
I updated the members' map (in groups) with what I think is the complete list of AB activity parks. Peter Vesterbacka was nice enough to send them to me. They are listed as "celebrities" and have yellow pins, along with a few other celebrities. -
@hunnybunny @junkenmetel You need to ask @Kathy @E-star @Kimmie about bedtime ritual. Not sure of the origin myself.
-
Hi, @AngerManagement!
Clearly, you have me confused with someone else. I can barely keep my own name straight, and half the time I get the names of my two youngest nieces mixed up!
I'm an AB fan, sure -- but I'm just an amateur. A dilettante.
The bird names confuse me, frankly, because many of them have a "color" name, and then maybe a "real" name and sometimes and addition nickname. So many noms de plume (and what a delicious pun that is). Although noms de guerre is probably the more accurate term.
(Really, AM, how did we get on this whole theme des mots français? Yes, yes -- I know. I started it, and I keep dragging it up. Sorry; that's what you get for being polite and indulging me. :D)
But since you have (quite properly) called me to task, I have done my research, and found the wonderful glossary here on ABN. Well, I knew it was there before, but I forgot about it. (http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/about/glossary/)
I will make an effort to study all this information and gradually get it lodged in my thick head, so I don't seem like such a rube in future.
-
OK, that was embarrassing...I meant to post that this morning around 6 or 7 am...
-
Food! A few things newcomers should know about food:
Since OB and the Blues work here, and we have an aviary stocked with special birds outside, poultry of any kind is never served in the BP, and it is best not to mention it, because OB gets very upset, as do the rest of the birds.
@Fooly8 -- The chef is @Sunshine, who creates most of the menu, except I think @AngyBoy does the breakfast menu. Page 1, and therefore the menu hasn't been changed for a while because the @team is taking a break from the constant updates. -
I just love the daily challenge, but only play ABS, and what happens today? ABS on challenge, when it really had to be real life day, over bird life day. Oh no! Improved my score but could have done so much better.
Will give it another go now, so you BP patrons have a drink on me, whilst I go off flinging. -
@all before I fling my last birdie for the night,just wanted to let you know that @kathy sends her love and thanks to everyone who has sent her prayers & best wishes whilst she's been poorly. She's on the mend but needs lots of rest so will be laying low for a wee while yet. She knows she's missed by the sta
-
Ahhhhh! I've got @kathys cursed phone lol!!! That was "the state of her in box" !! Take care kathy,rest up & we'll see you soon X
