If you can't pick just one colour for your Gnorbu, why not use them all on your next visit to the Rainbow Pool?
Remember that time we released three new Scorchio Shopkeepers? We did it again! We're on a roll.
This week's PPL award has been given to the ever faithful Snarhook. Well done Nimbus, Snarhook12881_2000, Jar Jar, Awsum Jr., and all the others.
It appears that cheesegab has a bit of an obsession. Actually, it's probably more than a bit. If you're brave, check out her winning Site Spotlight.
If you're collecting Battle Ducks, here's a new one to add to your collection. Just don't keep it too close to the Icy Battle Duck or you could have a mess on your hands... and the counter... and the floor....
reggieman721 wants to send you on the Adventure of Geraptiku. Check out the Neoadventure Spotlight to play along.
...that's what you'll be exploring: Geraptiku. Yes, the Lost City that's not lost anymore. Perhaps it's called that because almost all Neopians that go there are lost forever... but you won't be. Hopefully. So you've got your pack with food for a week. You've got sturdy hiking boots, jungle gear, and your trusty spear. Hopefully you won't need to use it... but you never know. Sadly, you forgot the bug spray. That could be a problem.
Race the clock to guess which character is hidden behind the tiles in this sponsor game - Hoodwinked: Revealing Image.
The Jelly Chia is anxious to show that he's just as good at eating as that cranky ol' Florg. Can you beat him in this week's Better than You?
A new Lenny Conundrum competition has begun. The answer to last week's was 599. 1887 people guessed the correct answer earning themselves 1,060 NP each.
Be careful walking alone at night. You never know when a Xweetok will pounce from the shadows and steal your Unguberries before you can even blink.
If you've got some time to spare, and a good set of screaming lungs on you, why not give lightiswelcomehere's Pirate Cave Of The Week a try? Unless you're afraid, that is.
Send one of these new birthday Greetings to a friend! If it's not their birthday yet, send one anyway and they'll think you're just really, really prepared.
You've got a whole extra week to submit your Random Contest entry. Your chances of winning are still quite good if you put a bit of effort into it.
Unless you want superpowers, it's probably best to stay far, far away from any Glowing Buzz you might encounter.
King Skarl fans will want to read the latest Neopedia article. Who knew he liked to eat a lot? You learn something new every day.
That Xweetok greeting is ultra scary.

You know, I really, really want a glowing buzz now. I don't what it is about it, I just think that it's really, really awesome. If only buzzes had an inexpensive healer (like the elephante unguent or a kacheek life potion...)
Superpowers would be nice. Why wouldn't you want superpowers?

lol, I wouldn't mind superpowers at all, I just noticed that in the ogrin b-day greeting, they made an error in the coloration giving the blue one a brown mane for a bit and then switching back...

Lol I checked and saw that too. The magically color changing ogrin haha
Something I'd like to comment on about the firey battle duck.
This is the first item they've released on the same day it was announced. This is the first item in several months where they've done this - so many items released in November/December/the existance of neo that have not been physically released into stores, just the news.

Another battleduck... am I the only one who thought of -Ducky- when I saw todays news? 
The Rainbow Gnorbu is very funky, if it wasn't for the horrible bd poses I'd get one ^^

the buzz is very nice. it reminds me of the images of the grand lightning beam and so on
Fri Jan 13, 2006 2:22 am
The Buzz needs a revamp, but seeing a firefly-ish pet is nice.

No. Even though I'm relatively new to the site - you most definitely were not the only one.
Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:07 am
Tucan Sam's been turned into some mutated flop-eared dikdik!
Oh man, why did they pull another 'rexic zafara on the Xweetok? Well...at least it looks like Skillet.

The rainbow gnorbu might look better if the colors in its face didn't look so chaotic. The rest of it has a neat color orderliness that we've come to expect from rainbow pets. But the face makes it look like it lost a paintball fight.

Now THAT would be a cool rainbow color. Black base with splotches of all the colors on it...
Kind of like disco, but less neon and less funky... and more fun
