You have warm weather. That is your trinket
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T22:54:04-05:00
Also, trinkets!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T22:54:59-05:00
@The Historian, thanks!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T22:55:22-05:00
@Geist, think cheap trick
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T22:55:51-05:00
@BaKahn, you're must welcome!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T22:56:38-05:00
Also, this warm weather came with a 3k price tag so... Something about sucking it?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T22:58:06-05:00
@BaKahn, ouch, that's a steep price
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T22:58:30-05:00
@BaKahn: well since you're rich and all...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T22:59:15-05:00
Where did you go? Napa Valley?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T22:59:21-05:00
@The Historian, meh, it is what it is. You can't take it with you!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:00:00-05:00
True enough, Bakahn!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:00:09-05:00
Back from dinner ... and we have $3K to go ... whoo hoo!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:00:34-05:00
@Geist, Disneyland!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T23:00:45-05:00
How was it GCoD?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:01:30-05:00
@BaKahn, I haven't been there in years!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:02:52-05:00
@The Historian, I usually go to Disney World, but you gotta mix it up. Plus Cali is plenty cool in its own way.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-14T23:03:36-05:00

@Creeper, ?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:05:53-05:00
@BaKahn, I've never been to Disney World. Mrs. Historian tells me this is a travesty.
I enjoyed Disney Land when I was there.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:06:08-05:00
Dinner was okay, I'm not a foodie, so food is food, but she liked it.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:07:16-05:00
@GCoD, what did you have?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-14T23:08:02-05:00
@baKhan- suck it- retracted
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:09:10-05:00
@The Historian, you need to go trust me! Most fun you can have! 6 yrs ago when I went for the first time as an adult I thought well this will be ok. After the first day there weren't enough awesomes to sum it up! Seriously, go, be a kid, have ridiculous amounts of fun!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:09:38-05:00
We had Mexican, a small mom & pop place not to far from here. Then back and watched a DVD; "Bringing Up Baby" - she's never seen it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:10:10-05:00
@Creeper, aw shucks! Thanks!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:11:54-05:00
And the whole time I am thinking that I am going to miss the breaking of Pono ... LOL
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:12:26-05:00
@BaKahn, I'll definitely be going, Mrs. Historian had decreed it and I certainly won't argue, I love being a big kid!
@GCoD, I love good Mexican. :). Never saw Bringing Up Baby, what's it about?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:12:54-05:00
@GCoD, well I'm glad you're here now! Also glad your dinner was good, I love Mexican food!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:12:56-05:00
@GCoD, LOL, that's funny
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T23:13:44-05:00
@BaKhan: I've gone to the one in FL. I had such a blast. Cheaper then it's California cousin. I want to go to Universal Studios next.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:13:58-05:00
I was just on Twitter to see about the 100 person photo challenge, and they got 78 people in the shot. Not bad, but not 100 people. So, I'm figuring either nobody counted out how many cat ear sets they handed out before snapping the picture, or there's a dismal failure to be able to count or something. If you know you don't have 100 people, why take the picture or ask if it counts? Or I am just overthinking this?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:14:47-05:00
@Geist, Mrs. Historian and I are planning a trip to Universal, specifically to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Kevin 2015-02-14T23:15:40-05:00
Saturday night/ early Sunday of the third week - this is traditionally the toughest patch, so hang on.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:16:04-05:00
@Meow, they were dispersed by the con organizers whilst trying to get the requisite 100. People pushed them to post the pic just to show the effort.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:17:09-05:00
"Bringing Up Baby" is a 1938 screw-ball comedy directed by Howard Hawks starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Today it would be called a rom-com, but this is actual quality.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:17:33-05:00
Darn convention organizers. They want attendees, but then disperse them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:18:00-05:00
@Geist, universal in Florida is so much fun! I really liked it too. It's no Disney, but it's a close second!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:18:10-05:00
Yeah, I saw the thing about the Con staff. You would think they might be a little more understanding about something like this, but I guess they had their reasoning. Still, I can't see at a major convention why having 100 ppl in the same place would be an issue. Surely, there are events there with greater audiences than that.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:18:33-05:00
@GCoD, I'll have to check it out!
Boo to con organizers!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:19:33-05:00
@Meow, it kind of boggles the mind.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:19:53-05:00
@The Historian, you need to see the wizarding world! It is so well done and butter beer is crazy good, and I don't really go for sweets, so that's saying something!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:20:04-05:00
$2,ooo until Pono falls by the wayside!!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:21:49-05:00
You're going down Pono!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:22:03-05:00
But seriously, a con that actively denies folks from aggregating for the purpose of friendship?
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:22:18-05:00
@BaKahn, we do out own version of butter beer: Sprechers Cream Soda, Roaring Dan's Maple Rum, dash of bitters. I typically do two shots of rum and fill the balance with soda. It's delicious!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:23:16-05:00
@GCoD, you know what it's like though, I'm sure we've all run into some jackass that gets a little power and trips on it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:24:17-05:00
@The Historian, sounds tasty!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:24:42-05:00
Butter beer. Hah, Death eaters don't drink the stuff.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:24:56-05:00
@BaKahn, it is! Especially two or the of them.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:25:35-05:00
@GCoD, no wonder the death eaters are such a surly bunch... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:27:20-05:00
I'll also point out that a bunch of kids hopped up one butter beer took down the death eaters... Just saying!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:27:45-05:00
If that happened at a con I attended? I would never return. Seriously. they were in an open area, and from what I understand, a large foyer away from the main con.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:27:48-05:00

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:28:13-05:00

Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:29:06-05:00
I take my Death Eater status seriously ... really!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:29:20-05:00
@GCoD, pions with power trips, man I'm telling you! Also, lol!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:29:40-05:00
@GCoD, I was at that convention center last May, where they were attempting to take the pic was plenty big and they wouldn't have impeded flow of traffic at all. My best guess is that the organizer didn't like them trying to recruit people to be in the pic.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:30:20-05:00
Grumble grumble, waves cane at organizers ...
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:30:54-05:00
@GCoD, don't forget that meddling dog too!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:31:19-05:00
What's a death eater? Because that sounds metal as all hell.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:31:43-05:00
Which reminds me. At dinner, the darn waitress gave me a senior discount! Without asking. My first! I'm only 53 dagnabbit. and other than some gray in my goatee, that's the only give-away.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:31:46-05:00
$1800 to go!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:32:33-05:00
@Meow-tair; Death Eaters are the baddies in the Harry Potter series.
Sarah Warren 2015-02-14T23:32:35-05:00
Yay! Only a little more than 7000 likes on Facebook left till 100000! Go kitten corps, go!
Kevin 2015-02-14T23:32:47-05:00
Over $6,225,354 is the magic number.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:32:48-05:00
@GCoD, hey man a discounts a discount, just roll with it!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:33:29-05:00
@Meow, Death Eaters are from the Harry Potter universe. They were the followers of the main villain, Voldemort.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:33:42-05:00
The waitress likely saw the age discrepancy between us and thought SO31 was my daughter or something.
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:34:20-05:00
@GCoD, I'm inclined to agree with BaKahn, a discount is a discount!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:34:50-05:00
Alright, thanks. Never heard of a death eater, but it sounded really metal, and not like something I'd go up against personally. Though, in my head, it sounds like a cool thing to be, and probably far off the idea in the Harry potter universe.Still cool, though.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-14T23:36:05-05:00
Discounts? I want discounts!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:36:07-05:00
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T23:36:09-05:00
I'm trying to get use to being called "ma'am" and I'm only 46.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:36:48-05:00
My wife used to laugh at me getting Senior discounts on Tuesday in the local supermarket when I was in my twenties. I was never entirely sure how it kept happening because the cashier has to put the command in to give the discount by hand, but it saved me money on groceries, so I let it go, despite being 30 or so years away from eligibility.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-14T23:37:58-05:00
Geist- I waited on some boys from Texas, I think I was 28-29 at the time- they called me ma'am and I Nearly slapped them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:38:05-05:00
@Geist, I learned the hard way to never ma'am a lady that isn't at least 80! Whoops!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:38:35-05:00
Granted, I've got a beard, but it's not like I'm Benjamin Button or one of those kids with progeria. I don't think I look like a senior citizen. I was always confused, but hey, a discount is a discount.
Mike Kabala 2015-02-14T23:39:21-05:00
@GCoD, I've been getting Senior Discounts since my mid-50's. I never complain.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-14T23:39:37-05:00
It annoys the hell out of me because people have told me I look 10 years younger so I don't get it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:39:43-05:00
@Meow, yep! Whatever keeps the coin in your pocket is a good thing!
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:40:13-05:00
@Geist To me, all women, regardless of age, are "Ma'am", It's a respect thing, not an age thing. I call women younger than myself ma'am as a matter of courtesy. But then, I'm also not above tipping my hat, either to a lady, so I may not be typical, but that's how I was raised.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-14T23:41:39-05:00
I'm with Meow-tair on the ma'am thing. I call men younger than myself "Sir" as well.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:42:23-05:00
@Meow, +1, but I have to say I was raised quite differently than my peers. And my best intentions are often returned with derision...
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:42:43-05:00
So I pulled out my wand, and turned the waitress into a newt (she got better).
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:42:48-05:00
I'm with both Meow and PoT on this one.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:43:36-05:00

Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:44:08-05:00

Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:44:37-05:00
Say nee?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-02-14T23:44:56-05:00
Just call everyone miss.
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-14T23:44:59-05:00
Oh Pono. I am so looking forward to your demotion. Soon.
Very soon.
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:45:14-05:00
I love that you can make almost any cultural reference in this room, and enough people get it to make the joke worthwhile. Buncha nerds.
Jack "Meow-tair, Head Catssassin" 2015-02-14T23:45:17-05:00
BURN 'EM!
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:45:37-05:00
The counter has stalled!
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:45:38-05:00
No, BaKahn, we burn them!

Warlock=male witch
Chris "The Historian" Loth 2015-02-14T23:46:16-05:00
@Meow, aside from burning them what else do we do with them?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-02-14T23:46:33-05:00
I do float, but I'm just full of hot air ...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-02-14T23:46:38-05:00
@Geist, that's just plain ole discrimination!
Bob "Powers of Tesla" Lindley 2015-02-14T23:46:40-05:00

I'm with Meow-tair on the ma'am thing. I call men younger than myself "Sir" as well.
@Meow, +1, but I have to say I was raised quite differently than my peers. And my best intentions are often returned with derision...
So I pulled out my wand, and turned the waitress into a newt (she got better).
I'm with both Meow and PoT on this one.
'E's a WITCH!
... What do we do with a witch?
Say nee?
Just call everyone miss.
Oh Pono. I am so looking forward to your demotion. Soon.
Very soon.
I love that you can make almost any cultural reference in this room, and enough people get it to make the joke worthwhile. Buncha nerds.
BURN 'EM!
The counter has stalled!
No, BaKahn, we burn them!
Warlock=male witch
@Meow, aside from burning them what else do we do with them?
I do float, but I'm just full of hot air ...
@Geist, that's just plain ole discrimination!
Build a bridge out of 'em!
I agree with Creeper
