Welcome to LiquiScoop, the #1 weekly newsletter for everything that goes on in the Teamliquid.net forums! Here you'll find notable threads, notable posters, and some fun original content as well.
A big thanks to IntoTheWow and dronebabo for their tireless help, and also to the countless others who helped spot great posts or threads. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Also, everyone give a big round of applause to Oxy and lil.sis, who do lots of great photoshop work for us. Enjoy!
This week we have something special to announce:
The LiquiScoop Haiku Contest
Write your very own Haiku and submit it to our judges and the winners will have their poetry featured in next week's LiquiScoop! For those that do not know what a Haiku is, it is a three-line poem, where the first line is five syllables, second line is seven syllables, and the third line is five syllables again. For the truly gifted poets, have your Haiku express a seasonal mood. More about Haikus at Wikipedia.
Unsure what your Haiku should be about? Write about TeamLiquid, or your favorite Progamer, or anything! A few examples, written by a few of your TL.net Moderators: + Show Spoiler +
Manifesto7: Scrolling the forum ah, so much stupidity where is my ban stick?
ManaBlue: I like to watch VODs I flood the bit-torrent thread Uploaders love me
EvilTeleTubby: I suck at StarCraft But I love to watch pro-games I am ETT
Uhjoo: one rax fast expand squiggly line oh shit! DT blizzard doesn't care
PM Hot_Bid, IntoTheWow, or dronebabo with your submissions. Have fun and we all look forward to reading them!
FakeSteve and Manifesto square off in a grudge match for pride, honor, and most of all, postcount. Recap and replays can be found here

Can someone who speaks chinese please help me? I would post the link to the website here, but im not sure about the tl.net policy regarding porn. So it's probably better if I can pm you (the helpful person) the link. In advance, thank you.

Moderator of the Week
This week, we thank Saro for adding that cool feature (check the top right corner) and for everything he's done to make TL.net slick and cool and operating smoothly. Great job Saro, we appreciate it!
Old Closed Forum Thread of the Week
Each week, we at LiquiScoop find one thread from the Closed Forum. These threads are diamonds in the rough, underappreciated secret threads that the Mods did not want you to see. They will now get their well-deserved time in the spotlight. Unfortunately you can't post in them, but you can view them, jaws agape in utter awe, mouth salivating in anticipation at what hidden treasures the Closed Forum will yield next week. This week's OCFTotW is titled "i think i just ate rat poison..." Find out what happens next by clicking!

I thought the chat log would be funnier, but it was just kinda sad. No offense, but Janice is really immature. Even given her age (which is somewhere in the mid-late teens I'd imagine), it's a bit too much. =/

Well, it's not so much about her being immature, it's moreso to do with the case of mild retardation she suffers from; which, and this has been verified by a certified PhD, stems from the fact that she owns a vagina.

I was actually laughing my ass off for 10 minutes straight. It was probably better with all the wispers that were going on between lawlmart and intothewow
