Quite understandable. DRL can be a pain in the butt often times. I look forward to the results of your task.

I appologise once again.... I seem to be doing that a lot recently. Life has gotten busy, and failed to cease getting busy. While I certainly enjoy all that is going on, it has been hampering my online time. However, I have not been forgetting about you guys, as I am on now. tongue

Let me go back and refresh on what exactly I need to be doing, and then I will get some updates up for people. happy

rofl. Well, that might work. Anyways, in my defense, I did give a task a little ways back, but no one wanted to try it. *shrugs*

Anyways, as for those updates....

Alright, Master Chukles, you asked for it.

mischief

Task:

It had been two days since the tomatos had left after Chukles38 had eaten so many bananas and became ill. Chukles was miserable. He couldn't sleep, and he certainly wanted nothing to do with food, not even water to drink. His tummy hurt so much, and all Chukles wanted to do was lie in bed.

Then his friend Jen came in to visit him on the third day, and said that she had found a cure for his illness.
Jen held out a cup of sauerkraut, grapefruit, lemons and limes all mixed up together. Reluctantly, Chukles ate the mixture, and after a day of rest, the sickness was gone.
Chukles slept for three days.

Then, he met a beautiful young lady named Banta, and they fell in love. Two months later they were married, and Chukles never ate any more bananas again.

The End.


Very nice, short, and sweet. I like it... especially since I end up with Bant. cool

tongue Anyways, awesome job Joy. Feel free to do some of Inty's tasks until I work out who is going to train you.

I need a big favor from someone.
I need someone to PM me the instructions for constructing a lightsaber using HTML. I belong to this blindness group on yahoo.com, and I am going to try to find out if there is any way that I can draw lightsabers using HTML. I know it's early to be talking about this since I am still an initiate, but I have to learn HTML. I need time to do that, and learn anything else I may need to accomplish this task.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.


Did anyone ever get with you for this?

Master Chukles, I have completed my task. I hope you don't mind, but it is considerable longer than 250 words! tongue
about the name. my padawan name is Padawan Sunkisser, but my given name is Junna-Lee, after my RP chacter.

Sunkisser
By SUGARBANTJINN

Jedi Master Chukles and his 17 yr old Padawan, Sunkisser, sat around the campfire in the glowing twilight of Ragoon-6. They had come for a vacation, and a bit of wilderness training. Their first night the planet, it was still easy-going, but with a pair like Master Chukles and Padawan Sunkisser, adventure was a guarantee!

Placing a puffy blue mushmallon on the end of a stick, the teenaged girl glanced across the fire at her master. Was it just the reflection of the flames, or was that a glint of mischief in his eyes? It could’ve been just the flickering shadows playing tricks on her eyes, but the ripple of amusement she felt through the Force confirmed that that was indeed a barely-contained smile on his face.

-If he wished to share, he will- she told herself, slowly roasting her fluffy treat.

But 3, and then 4 minutes passed, and not a word was said. And still he had that odd smile.

Finally she gave up. “What are you thinking, Master?” she asked with an uncertain smile of her own.

Letting out a short chuckle, that glint in his eyes got brighter as he answered, “I was just reminiscing… do you remember how you got the name ‘Sunkisser’? “

Tugging on her dirty-blond Padawan braid she rolled her eyes good-naturedly. “How could I forget? The sheer mortification of it seared it into my brain forever!” she exclaimed with a giggle.

It had happened when she was 11. She had been in the map room, studying for a report she was assigned for her galactic geography and history class. She had pulled up the outer core and was working her way inward with the intent of finding a unique star-system.

She had been so engrossed in her search that she wouldn’t even notice when another Jedi would enter, or leave the room, and, consequently, had adopted her ‘concentration face’ that she had been working so hard to rid herself of; it was a ridiculous expression with furrowed eyebrows and puckered lips. Her friends would always tease her, saying she looked like she was about to kiss something she was rather frustrated with!

So completely engrossed that it took her a full two minutes to realize that Master Yoda was standing in the doorway, tapping his gimmer stick on the floor.

Quickly she rose from the squat she had been in- a little quickly, in fact, for she somehow tripped on the hem of her robe. Arms pin wheeling, her datapad went flying and she landed on her stomach, just catching herself before she banged her chin into the floor. Dazed, it was a few seconds before she noticed she still had that idiotic look on her face. And what’s more, she had landed facing a binary system, her lips just touching the larger of the two stars, while the planets spun around her head.

She could feel the heat radiating from her face, and knew she must be as red as Master Tii. Carefully she climbed to her feet. Turning towards the diminutive master, she realized he was not alone- Master Chukles was with him, wearing a barely-concealed grin, and holding her wayward datapad in an outstretched hand.

Bowing to each one in turn, she said softly, “Thankyou for catching my datapad, mater Chukles.” She accepted it from his hand and stepped back, humbly awaiting the reprimand she was sure would come.

Master Yoda was the first to speak, but not the words she was expecting to hear. “Found padawan Junna-Lee we have, it seems, Master Chukles,” and laughed his soft, gravelly laugh. Then to her he said, “Looking for a padawan Master Chukles has been. Watching you he has been as well. Impressed with your skill and,” his next word was totally poised, but there was a sparkle of humor in his big green eyes, “grace with the lightsaber, as well as your knowledge and grasp of the Force he is. Master Chukles?” and Master Yoda stepped back.

Clearing his throat and schooling his features to a serious face, but smiling invitingly, he began. “As the Master said, I have been keeping an eye on you, and have been very impressed! I was wondering if you would be interested in training under me as my Padawan learner?”

Junna-Lees’ eyes were wide, as they had been for moments now,. Her excitement was almost tangible, but she strictly reigned it in and carefully bowed, her clumsiness still not forgotten.

“It would be an honor, Master,” she said, kneeling and bowing her head, as she’d seen other padawans do when being chosen.

Master Chukles grinned and placed a hand on her shoulder. Throwing a secret smile to Master Yoda, and a conspiratorial wink at his new Padawan, he said with great grandeur, “Then, I hereby dub you….Padawan…Sunkisser!”

Junna-Lee jerked her head up to see both masters smiling and Master Chukles open arms. Relief coursed through her and bubbled out in uncontainable giggles as she rose and stepped into his offered hug. Leaving the maps behind, the laughter of the three Jedi echoed in the vacated room and preceded them down the hall.



Padawan…Sunkisser, very wonderfully done. I lighed, I cried, it moved me Bob. I am not one to grade tasks, so suffice it to say I was very pleased with it. A job very well done.

Now, your next task................

I want a 500 word persuassive essay on the useful application of banannas in relation to driving an automobile. It does have to be very well written and be a coherent piece of writing. It must be well thought out with points that make at least a little bit of sense, and each point must be thouiroughly developed. It does have to include the following words.

Chocolate
Online
Chuklesjuice
Air Compressor
Humility

Enjoy, my young padawan. happy

I desire to train as a Jedi in the trials. To learn the ways of the force, and to fight the darkness as a Guardian of peace and justice. I wish to study the force under the guidance of the Jedi Master, and let the force guide me. I wish to take the first step into a larger word.

My desire to join the order comes from my desire to do good, to serve others, and to protect. I have seen the corruption of the dark side and I wish to fight it. I, Mister_Master. Here by pledge my allegiance to the force, the Jedi, and to serving the innocence.




Very eloquently written. Your next task is to List fifteen Marvel Comics characters and one character from the Star Wars Movies that they relate to. Each pairing must be explained in at least four well written sentances. Enjoy. happy

Name: Junna-Lee Syphera (JOOnaLEE siFERuh)
Rank: Padawan
Age: 17
Gender: F
Species: Mirialan
Home world: unknown
Appearance:
Height: 5'4
Weight: 120
Build: small, but strong and athletic
Hair: dirty blond
Eyes: emerald green
Skin: light honey-brown tan
Markings: a small green diamond tattoo at the end of each eyebrow, and a cluster of small green diamond tatoos in the center of my chest, just under the collar-bone
Clothing: dark green fitted tunic and pants, and soft-but-tough nerf hide boots

Lightsabre Description:
Hilt: looks very much like Obi-Wan's lightsaber that got lost in the power core on Naboo, but a little sleeker. has a little influence from Qui-Gon's saber hilt as well, in that it has two little metal arms that extend over the grip. but whereas the metal arms on Qui-Gon's hilt point down, toward the base of the hilt, mine point up, and are more prominent.
Blade Color: Green

Other Weapons: None

Brief character bio: I was brought to the Temple as an infant, as is traditional, but I tend to be a bit of a rebel. It's not that I WANT to be, it's just that sometimes what the Masters say, and what I know and feel in the Force differ, and I try to follow the Force as closely as I know how.

Master Chukles, I have completed my task. it is exactly 500 words in length, and the required words have been highlighted in limegreen. May it meet your approval!




While I was online today, I decided to start my research for this assignment that my dear Chuklesjuice has assigned me. I must admit I was not exactly looking forward to this assignment because I know that I am absolutely no good at writing essays, in the fullest sense of the word. But I thought, hey, what the heck, I want to get it over with. So, with humility, I beg that you not run me off with your giant air-compressor if it is unsatisfactory! That being said, here is what I found:

‘Bananas are a valuable source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.’ There are many athletes who eat bananas as natural energy bars, and it has been proved that they are more efficient than an energy bar. My Pastor can testify, as he is a competitive biker, and has often used bananas in place of an energy bar.

It is very important to be awake and alert while driving an automobile, so as to avoid any possible danger to yourself or to others in your car, or on the road. So, If you’ find yourself getting sleepy while driving, eat a banana! It’s much better for you than coffee, or an energy drink, and, some would say, it tastes better!

‘Scurvy is an avitaminosis resulting from lack of vitamin C, since without this vitamin, the synthesised collagen is too unstable to perform its function… The human body can store only a certain amount of vitamin C,[32] and so the body soon depletes itself if fresh supplies are not consumed.’ That does NOT sound like fun, so keep your body stocked up with plenty of vitamin C and eat bananas!

‘A symptom of scurvy is partial immobilization’, and you must of course, have a certain amount of mobility in order to drive, therefore this disease may impede your ability to drive. Also, it is much easier to concentrate on what you are doing if you are comfortable; scurvy does not sound comfortable.

‘Potassium is important in neuron (brain and nerve) function…’ ok, let me stop right there- now I think it should be quite obvious that the brain has a very direct result to your driving- if you have a tired brain, your reasoning tends to go down the tubes, and you are a potential health-hazard on the road. I know you don’t want that for you, or anyone you might run into (literally)- it could turn out to be very painful for all of those involved! So eat a banana and give a boost to those potassium neurons to help yourself think straight so you can drive straight on the road!

And that, friends, fellow Padawans, Jedi Masters, and viewers in general, is my essay on the effect bananas can have on your operating an automobile. I would also like to add that chocolate is an excellent energy booster, but it is not near as good for you as a banana, so I shall not add that.
