@Jeff: My fave author was in town at the book fair so I purchased his novel and got him to sign it. I went rather late and was there only 20 minutes before the organizers started asking the vendors to pack stuff up because of the approaching storm.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-16T22:24:06-04:00
The author is Jeffery Deaver. I love his work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-16T22:39:38-04:00
Really? It wasn't outdoors was it? Why did they have to stop for rain, even severe? Here, we only stop things if there's a tornado sighting or extremely good circumstances.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-16T22:44:56-04:00
Or maybe if the thunder is so loud you can't hear anyone.
Jeff 2015-05-16T22:47:46-04:00
Because: Lightning kills. I read at ESPN that they had delays at the Preakness, which is in Baltimore, near DC, due to lightning.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-16T23:18:21-04:00
@Jeff: I saw a few people on the subway with fancy hats and dresses on. Maybe I'll go to the Preakness next year.
As for the storm: The weatherman said that it was suppose to come late tonight but it arrived around about five pm. Of course I was without an umbrella but I made it to the subway before the worse of it hit and shopped at a couple of stores to wait the rain out.
That was a band my Uncle Doug was in (the guitar player). They are from Baltimore.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-16T23:58:29-04:00

This is too early. Though I fell asleep by like 3:30 instead of 4-5 am, so it's improving, though I still have trouble sleeping for absolutely no reason.
Elan, if you're there watching, kudos brother, you have the patience of Job. The constant carping, nagging, bitching and whining about Every. Single. Thing. would make my head explode. I've just been reading comments in the updates section and frankly at some point I'd just start returning peoples money and telling them "Hey, you're right, this DOES suck.

Now anyone can get more. Love greedy people
Um, why did you post that comment Keith? Elan and the team never lied to us and they are certainly not greedy. He said he had some extras and is giving us backers a chance to purchase some more. The general public STILL won't get the exclusives that we are getting.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-18T17:22:12-04:00

You really should not waste your time replying to Keith "I do not know how to read" Goken. Since he is not able to understand what the update said, I highly doubt he will understand what you have wrote.

You are probably right Jeff. What bothers me is that Keith one of the KC members. (I think) Why he would turn nasty towards Elan and the team, I have no idea. This campaign is on time and as many have observed, was darn good fun. I have nothing but praise for these guys and I can't wait to back the next one the do.

Beautiful poem Idle. You need to win the Noble Peace prize for poetry. I'll submit this for you. (Don't forget to share the prize money with me when you win)
Shut up Virrgo, you're being a stupid self centered prick. Quit crying for attention. It is STILL a Kickstarter only prize, as ONLY backers will receive them via the survey. This is primarily to help those that kickstarter forcibly dropped for whatever reason (payment issues, ect.) still get the product they wanted. It is not something they have to do period, and is a kindness they are extending to everyone who backed in turn out of fairness to the rest of us.
Nope you have not missed it yet. They said sometime this week, but not yet, at least I have not gotten mine.

Let's start a Pool. Whoever is closest to guessing how many people ask if the Survey is sent out, wins the satisfaction of being closest.
I could go for some swimming, that sounds really nice. I can assure everyone that the survey will be the talk of the "town" here when it comes out. Be mindful though KC, asking if it was sent is a legitimate question so be nice about answering it. Things can occur that prevent email delivery, if nothing more than human error or an overzealous spam filter. It is drawing ever nearer, so there is a lot of excitement and anticipation in the air!
Jeff 2015-05-19T10:43:35-04:00

Yeah. Best I don't.
So how is everyone today?
Jeff "Great Cane of Doom"™ Saxton 2015-05-19T11:46:31-04:00
Rowena does makes her own "beer". It's a pale yellow concoction, with a hint of clay and grit at the finish. ;>P
You could even say hops are involved GCoD. Doing good over here PoT. Elan also has us, and we certainly help to alleviate a lot of stress by managing the comment section among other things.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T11:56:11-04:00
I'm doing great, PoT. Just had coffee with my old Spanish Spanish teacher, which is always alot of fun, especially when I can gloat over all my friends still in that high school that I'm not.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-19T11:56:20-04:00

Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-19T12:02:16-04:00
Oooh, even better, we could sell it as Rowena's Precious Pure Ole Panther Piss Beer.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T13:11:54-04:00
It's like a panther pissing down your throat? I don't think that'll sell. That's why my mom went with Angels' Piss Vodka when she uses berries to flavor it. My aunt tried some plum vodka and said it was like an angel pissing down her throat, hence the name.

Actually, Happy Sunday.
So our dice guy from Mother Russia has been very quiet of late. Wonder what he is cooking up next?
Beyond that, it has been dull as sin around here. I pop in, read the messages, see if anyone is online, then go along to the next website.
My Billet dice arrived, they are very nice. If anyone wants any, he's selling the excess from production on his website.
And the big news of course is I saw Rush here in St. Louis on Thursday night. My ears and brain are still fired from the sheer awesomeness.
