I would dearly enjoy some mead right now...... sigh......
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T14:09:31-04:00
I would enjoy some food. This is why I don't get up early. Well, we have like nothing quick and easy ever, so I guess it's ramen again! Good thing I love it so much.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-19T14:26:18-04:00
Never had mead before. I could go for a pale ale. I just came back from walking outside and now I'm all sweaty.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-19T14:27:31-04:00
Rowena Pale Ale.
A refreshing light beer with just a touch of catnip. Each bottle comes with a hairball.
Andrew Adinolfi 2015-05-19T14:37:07-04:00
Can we pay for expedited shipping when the survey is pushed out? I wanna have these in time for Camp Bisco and I'm moving around the time they will be shipped/delivered.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T14:56:44-04:00
Andrew: Nope, sorry. They haven't said anything about early bird specials. I wouldn't either: 200,000 people vying for a couple hundred first class shipping slots and complaining when they don't get one and then complaining even more when it takes until july. We all just have to tighten our belts and wait until they ship. Also, sorry for taking awhile to respond. almost 20 minutes is slow round here.
That is not an option they listed as being available on the survey. It would complicate things. If you know you're moving I would advise you to give a different address on the survey to ensure you get it, perhaps your parents house or that of someone you know or trust. Unless of course you will be at said place when it ships.
@Zem: We cannot be blamed for taking twenty minutes the ONE time everyone manages to go afk to use the bathroom at the same time.
Andrew Adinolfi 2015-05-19T15:13:16-04:00
@Micah: Thanks for the answer! And I completely understand, I was just curious. When will the survey be pushed and do we have an ETA on the shipment? I really need to know so I know where to send these when the time comes. I move around the 1st of July.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T15:20:02-04:00
The survey should be taking place in about a week I think, check the update to be sure, and should be available for like 2 weeks or so before they ship. When did they say, July 15th-ish? Mid July. Again, check the updates; the information should all be there in the last couple.
Andrew Adinolfi 2015-05-19T15:20:11-04:00
@Micah @JibberJabber: Screw it, I'll just have it shipped to my work. They don't like it, but I really don't have anywhere else I can legally send it to lol
Andrew Adinolfi 2015-05-19T15:23:55-04:00
@Micah: Thank you for the info!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T15:31:54-04:00
That's really what we're here for. The rest of the time we're just bored if you couldn't tell by our only talking about alcohol, dirty jokes, and boredom. And storms if they happen to be happening.
Sometimes that's just how it goes man. I didn't see a specific/general date for arrival, that kind of thing is REALLY hard to estimate with the sheer volume and wide spread locations anyway. You could get a PO Box or try mail forwarding as well. That's something to discuss with the post office though.
*stretches, lifts head up* oh - and fortunately, once we fill out survey, we will have the option to go back and look at it - edit it (within a reasonable amount of time). *pushes cupcake liners out of the way and curls up for nap*
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-19T16:33:25-04:00
A napping Creeper? Now that is new. You are usually on the go from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed.
Jeff 2015-05-19T16:52:21-04:00
It could just as easily have been a Creeper Nap.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-19T16:56:27-04:00
Well that was fun. Playing with matches including (failing at) lighting a strike-anywhere on my teeth (though I know the trick), making the smoke appear in my mouth after putting it out, and the "human Jack-O-Lantern", a fun trick if you know the trick. All those and how to hammer a nail into your nose courtesy of scam school, possibly my favorite magic teaching guy. The bamboo spear I made and am having fun with courtesy of the support for a young tree we just took off yesterday.
Potatten - thanks for asking. Just a lot of baking mixed in with the new schedule. Sleep has been really hard to come by. I sleep in increments when I can. Usually up all night baking, etc. And this weekend- narrowly avoided a really bad cake fail. Realized at 3 am (when i laid down to sleep, read over the delivery details) - that I had made the wrong frosting flavor. had to take the entire cake apart. :(
Also - i finally bought myself an edible printer! Huzzah! (you cannot eat the printer). But I can print things (like EK cards) and put them on cookies and cakes and pizza...if one wanted to do that...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T00:27:37-04:00
i finally bought myself an edible printer!
Awesome! When can I pick up my order for some EK cookies?
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T00:34:31-04:00
I think creeper should print super bowl tickets on graham crackers
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T00:43:04-04:00
How much for cookies with the picture that The Oatmeal made of my screen name? I can bring that to the SPX this year and introduce folks to EK.
Powers of Tesla 2015-05-20T01:53:21-04:00
I'm going to be around all night, I'm smoking a pork butt on the grill for lunch tomorrow for my Physical Therapy crew. My way of saying thanks for putting up with me these long weeks. Tomorrow is my last day..
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T08:42:58-04:00
Mmmmmmm, pork butt.
Jeff 2015-05-20T08:51:52-04:00
Pork Butt... is that what they are calling it now?
-
How come we don't get nothins for putting up with you?
Wow it all sounds so good! Minus that almost cake fail thing, I know that kind of thing SUCKS! A promotion, edible printers, AND a smoked pork butt. Glad to hear everyone doing so well. Red Velvitten Cupcats all around!
I know, some of the best stuff is so old. Not saying new stuff isn't good. It is just nice to remember the old stuff. In fact, remember at this age is a good thing. ; p
Look, we are talking about BBQ here, that is serious business, and you go interrupting with a game... ; p j/k

...Oooh, back to BBQ Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Not with me...but then again, I don't know what's in my lunch...just grabbed a meal from the freezer that wasn't labeled as seafood...so could be BBQ in there.
Oooh, almost forgot: http://www.coopersbbq.com/ The meat is already cooking in the pit, and you just choose what you want. IIRC, in Llano they have 4 pits going.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T10:58:29-04:00
@Jeff: Orlando? Why not North Carolina? They have damn good BBQ! I'd suggest Texas but with the biker situation down there...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T10:59:10-04:00
I need to get an indoor grill. I need to make cook some BBQ ribs my dang self.
Orlando is a 5 hour drive. It is closest. I lived in Texas, and rode HD's for 18 years, so I know them... or rather, they know me. ; p
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-20T11:09:34-04:00
Ah, good to see LZ liked my linked video yesterday for him, but what did I tell you guys about starting the party without me? I don't like reading that many comments and so I won't. Though I won't be here all day anyways. Oh, and hi everyone!
WTFOMGBBQ... what do you mean by, don't start the party without me, and then, I won't be here all day...? You big ole "party misser" you.

Eric 'Tchotchke' Aschner 2015-05-20T11:42:16-04:00
I don't get all of the argument over the best style of BBQ. There is only one style of BBQ, Texas style. I don't know what all of that other crap is called, but it ain't BBQ.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-20T11:42:57-04:00
Jeff, you're not the first one to notice that about him. I think that's the reason he doesn't have a beard actually.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-05-20T11:44:30-04:00
Oh trust me, there's alot of different barbecue. I don't have a favorite, it depends on the place making it, but i do know of a couple great places in Nashville, New Orleans, even Kansas City. Heck, Famous Dave's is amazing as well, especially for a chain.
Jeff 2015-05-20T11:59:24-04:00
There was a time when all 3 members of ZZ Top had Beards. Frank cut his off, because: Drummer. Bang on drums for a few hours, and you sweat like a pig, even without a beard. It is why you see a lot of drummers in shorts and no shirt.

Go big, or go home... and you can't get much bigger than Texas.

Although, there actually is no "Texas Style" BBQ. Texas, being as big as it is, has much more variety than most places. Unless by Texas Style, you mean anything, and everything goes.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T13:22:02-04:00
We had a birthday BBQ on Saturday for the Mrs and the bigger Little LZ. I smoked a ten-pound turkey for nine hours (cherry wood), and then pulled it. It was served with the partygoers' choice of BBQ sauce on a bun. There was no leftover turkey
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T13:23:42-04:00
By that definition, Jeff, all BBQ is Texas-Style BBQ. I like that. It's an easy way to put the whole BBQ debate to bed.
My step-mother-in-law said I'm responsible for the Thanksgiving turkey this year. I hope the weather is nice so I don't have to compete with it for heat too much. I don't have the money to build a smoke house yet.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T13:35:18-04:00
And meat should be cooked over fire, not on electric pan, and definitely not boiled
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T13:37:57-04:00
Ugh! I need to go till the garden and mow the lawn
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-05-20T13:39:35-04:00
definitely not boiled
Hmmm. I'll have to have a talk with some of the folks around my neck of the woods because when preparing spare ribs, they boil them first, sprinkle with seasoning and then finish them on the grill.
Lord Zombitten 2015-05-20T13:41:22-04:00
That can be good. Just so long as boiling isn't the sole (or final) method
I meant to, but clearly misspelled it.

Meh: potato, potato; tomato, tomato; verbal adage that doesn't translate into text; ect.
Personally, my favorite is a warm smoke, slow-roast method with a steam tray. Of course, this isn't a universally applicable method.
Or I guess I should say oral.
Exactly, Dr P. I don't get the huge debate. As long as it's meat cooked over fire, it's good. Unless it's poorly done
Anyway, screw the mouth words because I just want to stuff my face with BBQ at the moment.
Agreed LZ. Good food is good! Bad food bad!
My step-mother-in-law said I'm responsible for the Thanksgiving turkey this year. I hope the weather is nice so I don't have to compete with it for heat too much. I don't have the money to build a smoke house yet.

That can be good. Just so long as boiling isn't the sole (or final) method
Boiling meats is only good for pre-cooking and stocks/soups.
