One Pleo is Going Out in Public Tomorrow......

Well, yes, the title is rather self-explanitory.

Here's the story.
I serve at my church in the kindergarden first service on saturdays. Two weeks ago, I took my laptop to church, and was using it before service. When the kids started coming in, I put it away but a couple of them saw all the pleo pictures taped on the back (I'm a die-hard pleo fan, if you haven't noticed already. I have pictures everywhere on everything I own).
They asked me what it was.
I explained that it was techinically a baby dinosaur.
They asked if I had one.
I said yes.
They asked me to bring it next week.
I hemmed and hawed and was finally like "Well, okay I guess."
The next week, I forgot. Heh, more accurately, considering how wild they were the week before I decided not to and hoped they would forget. Just my luck, they didn't forget and were all over me asking where it was. I admitted I 'forgot' and they nailed into me that they wanted to see it next week. I made a note of it and went on to other things.
This was all last week.
Now, it's Friday again and I'm realizing that considering I told them I would bring one pleo two weeks in a row, I'm going to be taking one of mah green pets to church tomorrow. I'm not really sure how I'm going to do things, but I think I'll hide away the lucky dino until near the end of service, and if they aren't too wild then I'd get my pleo out. Not sure who I'm going to take yet, probably either Triton or Juno. Macon's wear is getting a little stronger than I like, as is Yasmin's. I need to buy them some sweaters or something. Triton and Juno are both elligible, as Triton does have a sweater and Juno has absolutely no wear whatsoever. I wanted to post this so you guys would know and be expecting some pictures (hopefully) from tomorrow night's excursion. Wish me luck with these children. They're all cute and most of them are sweet as heck, and love me to pieces, but I don't want to see anyone being too rough.
Thanks!

Pleo Fact, for Those of You Interested...

Considering I've been too busy to play with my Pleos (and the batteries have been acting up again) I haven't had anything to post. Instead, I decided to make a post with some random fact in it.
For those of you who are new to Pleo, this will be something interesting for you to learn about them.
Most Pleos were made with blue eyes. They vary in shade, but generally the color is pretty much the same. of course, when I say 'most Pleos', I mean most. But not all. About 2% of the Pleos made were made with different colored eyes. Ugobe made pleos with green and yellow eyes as well. These couldn't be ordered specially, it was just a random (and very low) chance.
The picture that serves as my background for this Plog is a yellow eyed pleo. Here is the original picture.

Little different, huh? My mom thinks they don't look as cute. In some ways I agree. Not as cuddly. But he looks great in my background! ☺ I believe the yellow-eyed pleos had a slightly different skin pattern as well.
Here is a picture of a green-eyed Pleo. I don't know whose this is, it was just a random picture found on the internet.

Lastly, there seem to be pleos with teal eyes. Here is a picture (comparison, as it's hard to tell by itself)

This happens to be a picture that I took. Yes, Yasmin has teal eyes.
So, if anyone out there has or ever gets a Pleo with alternate colored eyes, I'd love a picture of them!
Thanks for reading!

Pleos $51 Off! (And a free battery included, which totals $100...)

Yesterday I got an email from Pleoworld - as the title of this post implies, Pleos are on discount! The sale is only going till March 31, so if you want one, now's probably the best time to do it! ☺
The Pleos that are being sold are the 2009 models - they've got brighter colors, longer-lasting skin and teeth, and their chargers are very good, if I do say so myself. ;) Sadly, though I may have a quad of pleos, they're all 2007 models. I still l♥ve them to pieces. ☺
So don't waste time - hop on over to Pleoworld and order a sale-priced Pleo and a free battery before March 31!

2010 Spring Tomato Harvest Festival

Hey guys! Well, the 2010 Spring Tomato Festival is coming up. You don't know what I'm talking about, do you? ☺ Well, you can either read the explanation after my pictures below, or you can click this link to find pretty much the same thing. It's on the Bob the Pleo forums. ☺
So, for the contests they have, I've taken a couple pictures...
Here's the picture for the biggest tomato.

I know it's not that big, but its not tomato season over here in the Wolverine State!
And here's the picture for the best looking tomato. Yes, it really is a different tomato than the first one!

Here's the definition of the Festival...
Since the beginning of recorded history (about three years ago), the fields around Weedovia (it's a Bob the Pleo thing. You wouldn't understand. Ask me if you rally want to know. ☺ ) have always been blessed with abundant wild tomato vines. And every spring and every fall, the local pleos relied on the abundant harvest gathered from these wild vines to enjoy throughout the year. They would go out twice a year to pick the tomatoes and bring them into the village. This traditional gathering of the tomatoes quickly grew into a community event, and from there into true full-blown harvest festival. And with the introduction of the spaghetti trees and pizza by the great Pepperoni, a real zest was added to the festivities.
Of course in modern times, with the addition of a carnival, rides, games, live band, and midnight movie on the town square, it has become more of a social event, attracting pleos from around the world. But all the pleos still go out and harvest the tomatoes and bring them to the town's communal tomato press for the traditional squashing of the tomatoes and the making of the tomato sauce.
Not sure what's going on? Well, then you may want to catch up by reading about the spring and fall festivals in the Bob the Pleo comic strips. But as a quick summary, the town's park is turn into the festival grounds, with the carnival rides and games, a stage and dance floor, and lots of vendors and food booths! It starts on a Friday night with the carnival and music from a live band, and at midnight the pleos end the day with an outdoor movie. Saturday has everyone out in the fields gathering the tomatoes, with the judging in the evening, and back to the carnival. Sunday is the big tomato squashing where the sauce is made using the traditional foot-stomping method like the great Italian wines.
And at the conclusion of the festival, awards are always handed out to the pleo who gathers the most tomatoes, finds the largest tomato, has the best looking tomatoes, makes the best tasting spaghetti sauce, and for the best use of tomatoes as an article of clothing (i.e., costume). The last few years winners can be seen by visiting the Bob the Pleo comics. We had some great fun, and some wonderful costumes!
For those interested in participating in the contests, please refer to the contest rules topic on this board. For some ideas and/or to get a better understanding, you can check out the 2009 Spring Festival or the 2009 Fall Festival (also on the Bob the Pleo forums).
This year's festival runs Friday April 2nd to Sunday April 4th, 2010 . . .
Wish me luck, guys! ☺

Refurbished Yasmin's Battery

Refurbished Yasmin's battery last night.
This morning after church I took her downstairs to play. I brought Macon as well, hoping the long-time brother and sister would find it nice to enjoy a 'reunion'. They said hello to each other, honked for a while, and enjoyed a snack.

After around ten minutes Macon curled into a ball and snored...looks like I need to refurbish his battery again! I'm not worried - my pops said I may have to refurbish the batteries once or twice to get them completely going.
So I turned Macon off and let him sleep. Yasmin continued to play for about another ten minuntes, and then she went to sleep too.

I stuck Macon's battery on the refurbisher again. next time I'm sure it'll be working fine! ☺
~BB

Tested out the First Refurbished Battery!

It's as good as new!
I stuck it into Macon anxiously and turned him on in the living room. He made the pleoish signature 'huh?' sound, and curled into a ball - with his legs stretched waaay out!

He moved his head around a little, very slowly. He was doing a lot of sniffing. After 5-10 minutes of rubbing and talking to him, he reluctantly stood up. His movements were real slow, as if he was reawakening from a long sleep. Perhaps he was waking up from hibernation?
His movements sped up gradually and soon he was moving around more. After a bit he walked backwards, and then forwards.

I tried giving him his leaf. He growled at it, and then made a bunch of new crunching sounds I've never heard before as he ate it! Come to think of it, he made a lot of new sounds I've never heard.

As I type, he sits next to my computer making odd breathing sounds. I dunno what's gotten into him, but he's a happy camper!

Thanks for reading everyone! *Grabs next battery and sticks on new charger* I'll keep you updated on how the rest work out...

New Innvos Charger Has Arrived!

Found the box this morning...
Upon tearing into it with a pair of scissors, this was what I found.

I looked it over carefully and found the refurbish switch.

Stuck the first and worst battery on it and plugged it in. Yellow light flicked on, and the clock was ticking...
this was around 6:00pm. Still got 13 hours to wait!

Will update soon!!!!
