Gali, Toa of Water, Would Like a Word
Gali, Toa of Water, announces her intention to contain the Bohrok menace.
The Bohrok are welcome to stay in our fair domain, but their overlords, the Krana, must return to from whence they came. These are the words of Gali, Toa of Water.  (see the aqueous fury!)

Reconnaissance
Away from his Boxor vehicle, Nuparu is easy pickings for any Bohrok.
 Kopaka surveys the terrible scene. The fiends are watching themselves on big-screen TV! 
Release the hostages, monsters!
Kopaka has a few thoughts he would like to share with Alf and Jordan.
Release Whenua and Nuparu immediately or face the consequences. There will be no further communication except at the end of my sword.

Barbarians Betray Peace Process!
Beloved village turaga Whenua was spotted attempting to broker a peace agreement in the dispute over desk space rights at WDS:
 Here we can see that a trap has been laid for the valiant old fellow but he cannot hope to escape from two Bohrok Kal.  Nuparu has abandoned the Boxor vehicle in a brave but foolish attempt to help his friend and mentor who has been so cruelly and basely abused by the Bohrok. If only Onua had been there!  Run, Nuparu, run!! 
Terry Jones' Letter to Bush
I meant to display this before the war started. It's still valid. Also see this.
I'm really excited by George Bush's latest reason for bombing Iraq: he's running out of patience. And so am I! For some time now I've been really pissed off with Mr Johnson, who lives a couple of doors down the street. Well, him and Mr Patel, who runs the health food shop. They both give me queer looks, and I'm sure Mr Johnson is planning something nasty for me, but so far I haven't been able to discover what. I've been round to his place a few times to see what he's up to, but he's got everything well hidden. That's how devious he is. As for Mr Patel, don't ask me how I know, I just know - from very good sources that he is, in reality, a Mass Murderer. I have leafleted the street telling them that if we don't act first, he'll pick us off one by one. Some of my neighbours say, if I've got proof, why don't I go to the police? But that's simply ridiculous. The police will say that they need evidence of a crime with which to charge my neighbours. They'll come up with endless red tape and quibbling about the rights and wrongs of a pre-emptive strike and all the while Mr Johnson will be finalising his plans to do terrible things to me, while Mr Patel will be secretly murdering people. Since I'm the only one in the street with a decent range of automatic firearms, I reckon it's up to me to keep the peace. But until recently that's been a little difficult.
Now, however, George W. Bush has made it clear that all I need to do is run out of patience, and then I can wade in and do whatever I want! And let's face it, Mr Bush's carefully thought-out policy towards Iraq is the only way to bring about international peace and security. The one certain way to stop Muslim fundamentalist suicide bombers targeting the States or the UK is to bomb a few Muslim countries that have never threatened us. That's why I want to blow up Mr Johnson's garage and kill his wife and children. Strike first! That'll teach him a lesson. Then he'll leave us in peace and stop peering at me in that totally unacceptable way. Mr Bush makes it clear that all he needs to know before bombing Iraq is that Saddam is a really nasty man and that he has weapons of mass destruction - even if no one can find them. I'm certain I've just as much justification for killing Mr Johnson's wife and children as Mr Bush has for bombing Iraq. Mr Bush's long-term aim is to make the world a safer place by eliminating 'rogue states' and 'terrorism'. It's such a clever long-term aim because how can you ever know when you've achieved it? How will Mr Bush know when he's wiped out all terrorists? When every single terrorist is dead? But then a terrorist is only a terrorist once he's committed an act of terror. What about would-be terrorists? These are the ones you really want to eliminate, since most of the known terrorists, being suicide bombers, have already eliminated themselves. Perhaps Mr Bush needs to wipe out everyone who could possibly be a future terrorist? Maybe he can't be sure he's achieved his objective until every Muslim fundamentalist is dead? But then some moderate Muslims might convert to fundamentalism. Maybe the only really safe thing to do would be for Mr Bush to eliminate all Muslims? It's the same in my street. Mr Johnson and Mr Patel are just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of other people in the street who I don't like and who - quite frankly - look at me in odd ways. No one will be really safe until I've wiped them all out. My wife says I might be going too far but I tell her I'm simply using the same logic as the President of the United States. That shuts her up. Like Mr Bush, I've run out of patience, and if that's a good enough reason for the President, it's good enough for me. I'm going to give the whole street two weeks - no, 10 days - to come out in the open and hand over all aliens and interplanetary hijackers, galactic outlaws and interstellar terrorist masterminds, and if they don't hand them over nicely and say 'Thank you', I'm going to bomb the entire street to kingdom come. It's just as sane as what George W. Bush is proposing and, in contrast to what he's intending, my policy will destroy only one street. Terry Jones

Boxor Aggression

Hilarious Lego Creation
Boxor Desk Defense
  My desk was unmolested by Bohrok all day. I attribute this to the the presence of this Boxor, manned by Nuparu. Or possibly that Alf and Jordan's Bohrok were sunning themselves in the window.

Work is the New Battleground for Mata Nui
Pohatu Nuva managed to remove Pahrak's Krana for at least a little while. However, Jordan's Nuhvok Kal overwhelmed Pohatu and his depleted Kakama Nuva and Kodan ball. The unhappy result is shown below:
