all this talk of Nanaimo being small, I was going to drive to Nanaimo today to go shopping because my shitty town is so small that I have to drive an hour to another small town for shoes
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:30:06-05:00
Would a miniature of a giant hockey stick be a regular hockey stick?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:30:28-05:00
@GM, don't wait too long, my family lost my Grandfather's scottish shortbread recipe when he passed away suddenly! Gone forever! :(
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:31:00-05:00
@LZ, I was thinking keychain... trinkets trinkets!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:31:05-05:00
What are Nanaimo bars?
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T14:31:16-05:00
Yes @Potatten. Let us grab our angly sticks and knifey shoes and participate in the hockeyball contest! More hockeyball!
@BaKhan: I think I actually have claim to all her recipe books too...I get all her copper pots/pans/brandy warmer when she moves into the retirement home...once there is a space open.
I also see her almost every month. My parents and I go have tea/lunch with her every few weeks.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:32:09-05:00
I love hockey ball!
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-11T14:32:19-05:00
what's in a Nanaimo bar?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:32:32-05:00
@House Arrest, that just made my day! lol! Trinkets ftw!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:32:43-05:00
I sent Elan a head's up, but I doubt there is much they can do, some corners of BGG are havens for counterfeiters and copyright thieves.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-11T14:34:13-05:00
@Tamara It's a desert from Canada of a coconut and crumb layer topped by buttercreme frosting, topped with chocolate. Its f-ing delicious and piles on pounds like you wouldn't begin to believe.
Barry Molenwijk 2015-02-11T14:34:15-05:00
Wait a minute! 28/30 Achievements and we don't have the 100k Facebook and Twitter followers ones yet.
If every backer does this, we get that spiffy secret!
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:34:16-05:00
Or at least a recipe for one. I'm a pretty adept cook. I could make it work. Just send it to LordZombitten@gmail.com
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:35:45-05:00
Oh my groodness! Nanaimo bars look freaking divine!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:35:47-05:00
My claim to Nanaimo fame is staying in some hotel downtown, eighth or ninth floor, windows open onto the entire city square sorta thing, I aim myself out the window, and butt trumpet the largest one I have ever heard. It echoed and reverbed all around the square. July, 2001.
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-11T14:35:54-05:00
BOOM! :D yay! and those bars sound like heaven!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-11T14:36:50-05:00
@GCoD well, that explains the smell they were talking about earlier, then.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T14:36:52-05:00
Here in the land of Chicago we have a most accomplished and even world famous team of Hockeyballers. The Chicago Native Americans is their name I believe. They are truly efficacious with their angly sticks, and run most swiftly down the court upon their knifey shoes. We are truly proud to call them our own.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-11T14:37:37-05:00
Or was the smell a "pre-existing condition"?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:37:50-05:00
ice skates always gets me, go get your ice skates... lol!
-Eric 2015-02-11T14:37:50-05:00
If we hit another stretch goal and Hitman holiday gets funded, it would be like Christmas for me...lol

Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-11T14:39:22-05:00
@Tamara The first time I ever made Nanaimo bars for my wife, she about had "a moment" right there in the kitchen. I thought she was going to knife me to get to the pan.
The Big Chicken Dinner on the other hand is what you feed someone who has been very very bad.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:41:21-05:00
In any event, it's the form of sportsing I prefer to watch
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:41:59-05:00
Especially if you use the chickens of the caves
Melanie King 2015-02-11T14:42:00-05:00
So this has become my life - the Exploding Kittens page is the first thing I check when I wake up (5:30 am in Brisbane, Australia - Good morning!) and the last thing I check before bed. I'll miss it when it wraps.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:42:04-05:00
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:42:33-05:00
Melanie, me too! I kind of live in here now
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:42:38-05:00
@Melanie -- we'll still be here even after this wraps.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:43:32-05:00
Think of the times we'll have comparing trinkets!
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-11T14:44:15-05:00
@melanie: same here. the journey to getting the game, including the comments and the achievements might actually be more fun than the actual game. So worth it :D
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:44:30-05:00
My cat even has a trinket. Her collar dangle is a Ravenclaw house crest from Harry Potter.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:45:07-05:00
That's way cool
Horror Junky - Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-11T14:45:14-05:00
@King: Who says it has to end? We have a few months before we get the game so we can still chat here.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T14:45:46-05:00
Okay I had honestly NEVER heard of a Nanaimo bar before, despite dating someone born and bred in Nanaimo for half a decade…I have SOME thoughts…just-
THEY LOOK AMAZING I NEED ONE IN MY LIFE I WISH I WENT BACK TO NOT KNOWING THEY EXISTED AHHHHH
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T14:46:34-05:00
@LZ. If tried calling Hockeyball something ridiculous like Puck-Sportsing here in Chicago I would be laughed out of the state. Puck-Sportsing... that's just stupid.
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-11T14:46:37-05:00
@blondie. Agreed. This now is a THING. A need. A need for Nanaimo bars!!
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T14:47:24-05:00
@Cane - WOW, I NEED that for my cat, seriously, so jealous, for my clever one at least, my other one is more a Hufflepuff at heart…haha
The need for said bars can be blamed on creeper, who is clearly the only person capable of saving the day anyway!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-11T14:48:16-05:00
lol! @ all the nanaimo newbs! ;)
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:48:36-05:00
I took a 120+ question survey to determine which house I belong in. It was real-world personality-type questions. It was developed by a team of psychologists with too much time on their hands. It put me firmly in Ravenclaw with a 97 (out of 100). The closest runners up were Griffendor and Huffelpuff. One was a 75, the other was 73
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-11T14:49:15-05:00
@potatten I blame BaKhan, as he was the first to mention the bars.
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T14:49:24-05:00
lol FORGET THE TRINKETS (I lie, never forget the trinkets..) WE WANT NANAIMO BARS XD
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:49:35-05:00
I was firmly planted in Slytherin. Wanna see my Dark Mark tattoo? LOL
Tamara "Miss Puss" 2015-02-11T14:49:41-05:00
BaKhan! What have you done too us! I literally just checked my cupboards to se if I could make the bars right FREAKING now. And I can't :P
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:50:18-05:00
And it's now a thing! Official word from Elan, the trinket of incredible awesomeness will be a real Nanaimo Bar!! That is all.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-11T14:50:34-05:00
Not puck-sportsing, that's ridiculous. It's sportspuck to distinguish it from all the forms of sportsball
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T14:50:39-05:00
Just googled "nanaimo bars delivery service" lol will let you know about results…some of us aren't blessed with baking skills…XD
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-11T14:50:45-05:00
i can be in Nanaimo in about 45 minutes but i don't know if they acually make them any better in the home land
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-11T14:53:24-05:00
@LZ Sports-puck puck-sports. They are equally ridiculous, that's WHY the word Hockey is in Hockeyball. To differentiate it from Football and baseball, basketball, and soccerball. Sheesh..
Charles Rand 2015-02-11T14:53:31-05:00
Fellow backers, we are two achievements away from the final stretch goal of 30 achievements! The easiest to get should be Facebook likes and Twitter followers over 100k each. There are 150k backers! We just need 18k more Facebook likes and 39k Twitter followers! It takes a second to do, so if you haven't done it, go do it. If you don't have an account, you are bound to know someone who does! If you know a backer who hasn't done it, shout at them till they do! We can do this my fellow backers, let's get 30 achievements!!!!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:54:12-05:00
Oh, crap. Now the Polish fellow has released a PnP version of his EK on BGG. I alerted Elan, again.

PoT, I'm with you. I first called it hockeyball around my friends and they disagreed. They're the onrs with a problem
Marissa "Blondie" Brice 2015-02-11T14:55:23-05:00
Okay HOW DID THIS COMMENT SECTION GET SO CANADIAN?!
It's all about Hockey and Nanaimo bars now lol XD
At least Exploding Kittens comes from my home land of LA <3
Mike Kabala 2015-02-11T14:55:31-05:00
If anyone has a counter for the number of times someone has told us all that if we all would Like the FB page and subscribe to the Twitter field we'd easily reach that stretch goal, I'll gladly add it to the Counters section of the Fact Sheet. I'm guestimating that is's around 1,200 by now.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-11T14:55:32-05:00
It's all sportsball to me. Last year when St. Louis was in the playoffs, I told friends that if a meteor hit the stadium during a game, the average IQ of the city would jump up by 20 points.
Pete Alexander 2015-02-11T14:55:35-05:00
Has anyone else noticed that there are FIVE songs on YouTube about Exploding Kittens?
@Pete I think they need to tweet the link or put it on the facebook page for it to count or something.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-11T14:58:50-05:00
The FB Like and Twitter Subscribe counter has now been added.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-11T14:59:54-05:00
@CB, that 1200 count seems low to me, though perhaps I just keep popping in when they're posted.

@Pete. No. We've noticed there are more than 20
No, it shows I'm not overly ambitious. Peter Pettigrew was a Griffendor, and he turned out evil.
@CB: What comments [that I've been ignoring]? I don't see the ones you're talking about? Clearly they don't exist.
shhh @marissa its better this way
@Pete: They are reviewing them. The songs have to be original though as well, on top of meeting all criteria.
Hell, almost every country has been discussed here already :P

just you wait, they have places for people like you
@Allison - I know they do! It's called the Kitten Corps! XD That's why I'm here :P lol
@PoT...thank you *smiles*
@Potatten, Here's an example:
Barry Molenwijk 26 minutes ago
Wait a minute! 28/30 Achievements and we don't have the 100k Facebook
and Twitter followers ones yet.
If every backer does this, we get that spiffy secret!
... Really??? Why didn't anyone think of that before??? ...
no no we have a special place for the rowdy ones
Wait, we get a game, too? I thought we were all just here for the inane chatter. Who needs a deck of cards, anyway?
@The Historian, you're right. I'll bump it to 120,000.
I've done some digging, and it appears that the huge sorting test I was talking about doesn't exist anymore.
lol I was being facetious CB. I know what you mean. I've just been ignoring them. Most of the time it's someone new. No point in stressing about it.
Okay, I signed up for Twitter just for this game, and you know what .. following Gates McFadden is kind of fun!
