@Creeper: It's kittykitty trying to tell you he is hungry. He's using his mind powers(all cats have them, why do you think we all love kitties?) to make things move and make you come to him...too bad it's not working because it's freaking you out.
DDD: The EKLOL Awards are given to any individual that passes 1k comments during the Exploding Kittens Kickstarter Campaign 2015. The award is a gold-plated kitten-shaped cookie (with kitten ears) made out of stale fruitcake which was kept in a flannel sleeve, made of hairy dragon boob hair, under the lake guarded by Octokitten. One side of the award has the imprint Lots of Love and the other side shows Lack of Life. It is, of course, 101% EU Friendly including the Ziploc bag preserving maximum staleness and presented tastefully in a new old maybe super special KS exclusive collector's tin box with paw clasp. There may or may not be a red velvet mite surprise included ... and maybe glitter. The Award is delivered paw to paw by Lord ZomBitten. It is yours! Take it..... TAKE IT!!!!
I think this is going to be a long night. Hopefully not too late getting in, but probably will be.

@GM - sorry about plane situation. Nothing more miserable than that. Kittykitty is skilled at his "sit outside in the dark, but have eyes in the tiny patch of light from window to scare the ever-loving Sh*t out of me" move down pat. But I wouldn't put mind tricks past him, either.
Congrats DDD. One less of the Corp that needs to receive their first. To have their cherry popped. Get your heads out of the gutter. I'm talking about the EK award here.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T20:44:06-05:00
our heads will never leave the gutter. NEVER! You can't make me. YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T20:44:34-05:00
Sorry..i had a power nap, and then some coffee.. i'm wound up.
And I like travelling, you just have to prepare for it, though delays do suck. My secret? Swedish fish! I ALWAYS get stuck next to the kid on the plane.... they pacify them very well, I'm tactful about it though.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T20:52:47-05:00
have you discussed swedish fish on here before? I was staring at them at the store yesterday, and debating on whether i should get them. Was wondering why they stuck out in my mind. Aside from general deliciousness (better stale)
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-04T20:52:58-05:00
Shove the whole bag in their mouths until they pass out?
@Potatten: I first thought you were talking about actual fish, then realized you were talking about the candy. Good call on that. Too ad I haven't seen them around the airport yet.
No DDD, you just make a big show of opening the bag to get the attention of the child (AND parent). Then you eat one dramatically, and say "hey do you want one? You can have one but you HAVE to ask [parent] if it's okay first"
How often do you travel Creeper, are you originally form NY?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:12:20-05:00
Im from Kansas City, Missouri. I travel only about once a year, maybe twice. But it's usually on a holiday. This past year I flew home on Christmas eve, around 9 pm. I brought a big box of desserts for the flight crew, they thanked me in booze. My seat partner and I both had some bailey's and coffee. It was rought flying at that time, but the best part was setting my 5 year old nephew up. I told him i wasn't going to be able to come home for christmas. He was in bed by the time I arrived (my sister was also visiting with her two kids, she lives in Italy normally), so we kept quiet when i came home. My dad woke me up super early Christmas morning, I put on crazy christmas socks, covered myself in glitter and fake snow, and curled up under the tree.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:13:34-05:00
He seriously seemed a little afriad of me at first. I don't see him very often (once every two years or so?) but we skype all the time, and he loves to send goofy selfies (and he is the only one allowed to see my silly responses).
I LOVE IT! Creeper knows how to travel AND do Christmas! I flew home on Christmas eve this last year too. I didn't pull off a surprise that good though.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:14:47-05:00
He was hiding behind my sister, and all christmas morning kept looking at me like I had special powers. :) I just kept talking about santa's sleigh. how the elves just do NOT stop talking... and Prancer has really stinky farts. That won him over.
lol It's a weirdly situated city. There isn't too much in it, but it lies on routes 75 and 80 so it's literally surrounded by everything. There's even a street that if you cross it, you're literally in Michigan. Less than a stones throw away.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:23:23-05:00
And you got one of dem big fancy lakes to look at!
No it wasn't sarcastic, I drove the first time... I hit seven waves of violent thunder storms along the way. Apparently that's storm season for Georgia. Flooding isn't too bad, but we know better than anyone what it feels like for the seasons to always be in flux. I was stationed in NC, but I served in Iraq and spent some time in Kuwait. I visited a number of cities in various countries including Dubai.... Dubai was amazing.
Well my mom lives there for the moment. She moved there for work, my dad's with her. They still have the house in Ohio, and that's where we all go for Christmas.
Yeah, Homework can wait until he's earned his first cookie!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:39:07-05:00
The most "foreign" place I visited was Croatia. My mom's side of the family is Croatian - and I heard it was beautiful. So, visited sister in Italy, then took a train to Venice and a 6 hour ferry to Croatia. The first night was pretty horrendous. The hostel (really more like a bed and breakfast, but they don't use that term over there!) was a 5minute walk from the docks, but there was a huge chain and lock on the door. I had no phone, no kuna (croatian currency)...it just stood there staring. I thought about going to the big roman arena there, hoping there wiould be police that would help. It was already dark. But first I tried this bar next to the hostel. I opened the door, and two old men sitting at the bar stared at me. The bartender said something that I Sort of understood. Then in English "are you ok?" and I just started crying! hahah... what a mess.
Yeah going to a foreign place can be quite stressful. There's a LOT of cultural things that can be worrisome too.
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-04T21:41:31-05:00
Zem's got his work cut out for him.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:42:05-05:00
I cry, and then he says, "Are you American?" lol...i wanted to say "But i'm part croatian!!" I just nodded. and then he says (totally scared the crap out of me) - "Melissa, from new york?" I almost high-tailed it out of there. "My (croatian cursing) sister forgot! I reminded her twice today to stay there because you are coming late! (more croatian cursing)" he calls her- he yells. Hands me a drink and smiles. "She'll be here in 10 minutes. Welcome to Pula!"
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-04T21:42:23-05:00
Also I would be curious about a word count for all of this.
lol well at least the locals were friendly, that would have weirded me out too!
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:44:20-05:00
Yeah, when I am usually always traveling alone. I can never fully relax because I'm so cautious of everything. I have that NYC mentality -so trust is not easily gained. And being a female alone, puts me on edge as well. I love that I've visited a few places - but whenever I get back to teh hotel/apartment, etc- I suddenly feel sooo much more relaxed.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:45:11-05:00
DDD- We'll have to make Gen C create some charts for the word count!
Potatten - I know... I keep thinking "any second now...he'll show up..."
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:45:24-05:00
If he's only counting useful comments. He should take out every single one of my comments
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:45:46-05:00
Derp -you have added color to the commenting board. :)
Not true Derp, you've said useful and inspiring things!
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:46:18-05:00
@the creeper you called?
"Diamond Dan" Drake 2015-03-04T21:46:38-05:00
While we're at it, I think it would be remiss not to mention Poz again, and hope that all his...concern... has been appeased.
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:47:31-05:00
Why thank you but I'm pretty sure when I was Derp talking that was more of a set back then useful
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:48:07-05:00
@evan I know I'm so poetic.
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:48:25-05:00
@Potatten - the locals were all ridiculously friendly. To a point where I kept thinking, "what's the catch?" I got lost trying to find the beach (it's a long story -i'm usualyl VERY good with direction!) -wound up in a farm area. I was dehydrated, so I picked a few figs from a tree. The farmer saw me and I thought "Oh shit. This is how I'm going to die"...he gave me more food, some water, and pointed me in the right direction. . . . I did get stared at a lot. The hair style there for women at the time was super short pixie cut. Most of them blonde, or light brown. I had long hair, and in the summer time - my hair was very red from the sun.
I actually wanted him to stay as a member of KC, alas he vanished ne'er to return upon getting what he wanted! So typical, what a player to use us like that.... such a hit and run. But seriously POZ was alright when he wasn't talking about a non-issue like it was an issue.
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:49:33-05:00
Oh so we're doing stories now. Time to search up a story that is not mine
Creeper a lot of people are like that in foreign countries! It such a culture shock...
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:50:32-05:00
HOLY SHIT THERE'S A BALL OF FIRE 100 F@&KING TIMES THE SIZE OF EARTH JUST F$&KING EXPLODING ALL THE TIME JESUS CHRIST WHY AREN'T WE DEAD
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:50:39-05:00
Derp - talk about your new design, the Lix.
Potatten - I know! I thought he started to be cool when he said he would happily be a PozTroll dispenser... he got his answers from Elan and never to be seen or heard from again.
Epicderpguy 2015-03-04T21:51:00-05:00
Should I put up a story?
Melissa "The Creeper" Nicole 2015-03-04T21:51:16-05:00
My roommate goes out of town for a month - she left today, and suddenly things are falling and making weird sounds. blerhg....
@Creeper: It's kittykitty trying to tell you he is hungry. He's using his mind powers(all cats have them, why do you think we all love kitties?) to make things move and make you come to him...too bad it's not working because it's freaking you out.
1000
Also...I'm waiting at the airport for the plane to even show up...we're supposed to be leaving in like 10minutes...still no plane at the gate.
DDD ?
Was trying to come up with something poignant to say for the milestone, but...
Comments?
CONGRATS! EKLOL!!!!! OMGZZZ LOLZZZ
lol
:) Thanks. I'm a late bloomer, I guess.

Opps I forgot to blurb out the campaign and change it to be the 'new' cookie.... where is there time in a day to do everything....
Congrats DDD. One less of the Corp that needs to receive their first. To have their cherry popped. Get your heads out of the gutter. I'm talking about the EK award here.
our heads will never leave the gutter. NEVER! You can't make me. YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!
Sorry..i had a power nap, and then some coffee.. i'm wound up.
lol np Creeper
Been awhile since i read the description for that EKLOL cookie... quite funny are we.
I need some of that.
I never watched the tail end of the pon video - he's so young!!!
Hey, we also just passed 68,000!
I'll probably end up napping on the plane, then be awake for part of the flight, and then dead tired by the time I get home.
68,000- quite funny are we indeed!
Who done it? Creeper? Or was it DDD, my internet doesn't like to tell me!
i really hate traveling...i do not envy you. How long is the flight?
Twas i, Dr. Twas i.
@Potatten: Looks like it might have been Creeper.
Think it was creeper
@Creeper: Something close to 4 hours. Roughly, depending on things beyond my control.
Hurray!
And I like travelling, you just have to prepare for it, though delays do suck. My secret? Swedish fish! I ALWAYS get stuck next to the kid on the plane.... they pacify them very well, I'm tactful about it though.

@Potatten: I first thought you were talking about actual fish, then realized you were talking about the candy. Good call on that. Too ad I haven't seen them around the airport yet.
I didn't bring it up, and I don't remember talking about it.... but such is the magic of swedish fish...
That should be bad...not ad. Definitely napping on the "yet to show it's face" plane.
@DDD-haha...that's one way of handling it.
they are truly magical.
No DDD, you just make a big show of opening the bag to get the attention of the child (AND parent). Then you eat one dramatically, and say "hey do you want one? You can have one but you HAVE to ask [parent] if it's okay first"
Looks like it's here, going to be turning off my laptop now. Talk to you all tomorrow sometime.
ttyl GM! Have a good flight!
well, now you're all super sweet about it and all. I suppose a kids swedish fish memory should always be pleasant.
If I was the parent I'd shrug and say "I dunno, that's not my kid"
DDD- you sound so much like my father. . . he always thought he was soooo hysterical.
lol usually they want the candy enough to make immediate direct eye contact so figuring out who the parent is isn't an issue.
Hey, I always think I'm sooo hysterical too! :D
Yep. Just put on oven mitts to take something out of fridge. i'm *awesome*
I'm wrong a lot of the time, but whatever.
lol I've totally done that Creeper. Then had to go back to the fridge because I accidentally left the remote in there.
DDD- you are a very funny man.
Potatten- Oh Thank GOD i'm not the only one that's done that.
How often do you travel Creeper, are you originally form NY?
Im from Kansas City, Missouri. I travel only about once a year, maybe twice. But it's usually on a holiday. This past year I flew home on Christmas eve, around 9 pm.

lol
Where is home for you?
That kid has a serious obession with trains and farts.
lol, well that is a young boy for you. Home for me is Toledo, OH.
hahaha...i swear...before i read your response, I had "why-o-why-ohio" pop into my head.
That's not too long of a flight, though. Do you travel elsewhere during the year? To Paris to attack ze eiffel tower with your potatten?
lol It's a weirdly situated city. There isn't too much in it, but it lies on routes 75 and 80 so it's literally surrounded by everything. There's even a street that if you cross it, you're literally in Michigan. Less than a stones throw away.
And you got one of dem big fancy lakes to look at!
I haven't done any out of the country since the military. I went down to Georgia (VIA train this time, big win there I assure you) for thanksgiving.
Odd about the random street crossing! Crossing into kansas city, kansas involves another boring highway...
lol the lakes give us some BOGUS weather, the river running straight through town certainly doesn't help...
Where were you stationed during your time?
Was the assurance sarcastic? I think trains can either be a lot of fun or a disaster.
all kinds of flooding action?
No it wasn't sarcastic, I drove the first time... I hit seven waves of violent thunder storms along the way. Apparently that's storm season for Georgia. Flooding isn't too bad, but we know better than anyone what it feels like for the seasons to always be in flux. I was stationed in NC, but I served in Iraq and spent some time in Kuwait. I visited a number of cities in various countries including Dubai.... Dubai was amazing.
That last entry looks long and ramble-y...
Do you have family in Georgia as well?
I would love to visit Dubai but way too intimidated!
Dude....we're the two top commenters - long and ramble-y isn't in my vocab. ;)
Well my mom lives there for the moment. She moved there for work, my dad's with her. They still have the house in Ohio, and that's where we all go for Christmas.
lol this is true Creeper. Zem needs to try a little harder :-P
Pfft---letting college get in the way of his commenting. He needs to re-align his priorities.
Yeah, Homework can wait until he's earned his first cookie!

WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!
