Or asparagus.

Unless they're counting the cup of hot borovan as the item this year.

I highly doubt they gave Hat of the Muffin Man. For starters, its retired. But more importantly, its worth millions. Not even Neopets would fiddle with the economy that much.

Exactly what the heck is borovan? And what does it have to do with asparagus? (The implications frighten me.)

I've been wondering the same thing for a long time. I've check half a dozen dictionaries and four-ish encyclopedias and none even had borovan listed

I'm pretty sure borovan is a kind of coffee or something. I seem to remember it being answered in an editorial, but I haven't looked.

Edit: Here's a picture-

EditEdit: Oddly enough, this item doesn't seem to exist anymore. There's several variations, but no straight borovan. Interesting...

I had someone by the surname Borovan at school once. I think he was East European, maybe Czech?

The reason why borovan doesn't seem to exist is because it's a r101 cooking pot item. And it's related to asparagus because you need to mix an asparagus with hot chocolate. Which are both cooking pot items, so they don't show up in the search option on the sidebar. Strange? I think so.

Well theres two out of three down. All we need to do now is figure out why its called that...

Surprisingly nothing on UD http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=borovan

Isn't it just called after Adams account name? I always just figured that was his general online nick from way back when and the others dedicated some items to him that way (and with asparagus too) ^^

You find 600 Neopoints!!!

You find a Toy Sled!!!

You also find a Sledding Trophy!!!

Awww....I wanted a petpet, but we probably won't get one tomorrow, seeing as tomorrow's the last day of the advent calendar, and they usually give out some y8 stuff.

Oh well. Prizes are...just OK today. And why did we get a trophy?

The Wonder Weezel · **Posted:** Fri Dec 30, 2005 8:01 am

um... what?

no petpet?

and a... trophy?
Can I put it in my user lookup?

cute animation, though.

That was my first thought too.

Hopefully there will be a petpet tomorrow.

Okay, the trophy is pretty weak, but I liked the animation

I know I'm not the only one that liked seeing the Hissi get hit in the face with snow. The bouncing JubJub was a nice touch too
