@Micah hope I wasn't coming off as a jerk I tend to put lol's in most anything I type, but yeah I only really remembered it cuz I remember saying, I better get the NSFW edition because it's now or never
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-11T18:59:57-04:00
No, you didn't. This is basically the aftermath of the dozens of times we had to try to find out what happened and tell people that it became an expansion deck rather than exclusive. Oh well, there were likely between a quarter and a third million NSFW decks out there, so really, not very exclusive.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T00:53:38-04:00
So, EP just needs 41 pounds now, just 2 more decks sold. Well, props to them for being the first knockoff to be successful. Well, didn't another one make nearly this much but had the goal set at like $5,000?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-12T08:53:26-04:00
Annnnnnd back to work. It was a nice weekend. Only a little chilly when in the shade but great temps in the sun light. It's a holiday today but it's not one that my job recognizes. Pity. I could have used another day to catch up on the current crop of movies in the theater.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T11:28:55-04:00
Ooh, speaking of holidays, next monday and tuesday are fall break! Boo-yah!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T11:32:48-04:00
Well, I finally decided to throw some money into the Ginosaji campaign! If you don't know what that is, donate $25 to get the movie and then watch the "trailer" from several years ago that they decided to make into a movie. Then donate more because it's gonna be awesome! And no, it won't be 9 hours like the trailer says. I asked.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T14:14:28-04:00
A single-nozzle piston bottle filler is $2.5k if it is purchased brand new.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T14:29:59-04:00
Well here are your options:
1) Increase all of the prices of the sauces ten-fold.
B) Don't buy new.
iii) Don't use that. Or let someone else handle the bottling, though that could be more expensive. So yeah, just use a funnel.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T14:46:47-04:00
Funnels are messy. Used bottlers are much less expensive. From a brief search, I see that they range from about $500 to about $1.5k
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-12T15:29:02-04:00
How reliable is the $500 model? If it breaks down every 100 bottles and the parts are difficult/expensive to replace, the $1 grand version might be the better buy.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T15:30:00-04:00
Stretch goal unlocked $1,000: I can now bottle the stuff rather than just mailing it in a plastic baggie!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T15:31:55-04:00
Funnels are cheap and only have one non-moving part, so they don't break down very easily and can be replaced/fixed for like $5-10. Get a funnel for the funnel so you don't make a huge mess.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T15:38:56-04:00
Zem, the problem is that funnels wiggle a little. Also, my sauce is a little thick, so I have to use a funnel with a spout that's almost as big as the bottle opening. They're also made of plastic, which can be difficult to sanitize.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T15:43:41-04:00
Not to mention the imprecision of eyeballing the correct volume.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-12T16:11:44-04:00
Not to mention the spillage that happens when his workers get a little too liquored up on the beer LZ will be feeding us.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T16:20:29-04:00
Yes, there's that too
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T16:21:22-04:00
Feeding us? Now that sounds like good beer. But remember, we have to all visit BaKhan so I can drink as well. And it'd be nice if we planned it around like winter or spring break or something. And someone drove me?... hmm... college has turned me into a penniless b****.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T16:22:05-04:00
It tends to do that.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T16:32:56-04:00
It's okay, Zem, you can drink O'Doul's
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T16:49:10-04:00
I was going to protest, but I found those have about 0.5% alcohol and are legal. So, about 10 O'Douls=1 beer. I'm a pretty big guy with a genetic tolerance for pretty much any drug on either side of my family... the internet estimates 10 beers in one hour to get me to 0.12 BAC, a good amount for round estimations... so about 100 O'Douls in one hour? 1 every 36 seconds. I can do that! Let's do this thing!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T17:04:50-04:00
About that... I live in Utah. Beer here is 3.2%, so it's closer to 6 beers to equal one.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T17:06:58-04:00
Or we could go to Wisconsin. The rules are pretty loose there. Plus cheese to boot.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T17:20:41-04:00
I like cheese, but not if it's been in a boot
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T17:30:54-04:00
Bootlegged cheese?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-12T17:40:55-04:00
How would you have any time to bottle sauce drinking 1 beer every 36 seconds?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T17:41:12-04:00
Ooh, interesting new find; vanilla extract has 35% alcohol, akin to Jagermeiſter. I'll just get some bottles of that and cut out my tongues so I don't have to taste it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T17:41:45-04:00
Oh, I'll find a way, BaKhan. I may be taking alot of bathroom breaks as well.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-12T17:42:56-04:00
@LZ, what you need is a syringe big enough to fill the bottle. Even an icing bag would do the trick. Probably much faster as well... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-12T17:43:57-04:00
I'd be more worried about having more than one tongue...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T17:47:11-04:00
Oh, that's just me? Oh, well... I'll have to see a tongues doctor then.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T18:10:27-04:00
A syringe! Yes! Where can I find a 5 oz syringe?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T18:25:22-04:00
Only 5 oz? not much hot sauce. Look on the internet or medical / lab supply places. Pretty easy, really.
How's the R&D coming?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T18:30:14-04:00
I've been busy. I'll get to it tomorrow
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T18:31:16-04:00
5 oz is a pretty standard size for hot sauce, though
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T18:57:34-04:00
Like I said, the internet has everything. The syringe is almost perfect, though it'd be really hot unless you cooled the sauce, but either way it can be clogged easy. The siphon looks good.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T19:54:11-04:00
The siphon dealy-whacker looks like a component of one of the machines I found
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T20:05:32-04:00
Just use that or something. Really, it's not that hard to bottle stuff.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T20:28:41-04:00
Yeah. The difference comes in when you want to do larger volumes. The slowest machine says it'll do 250 bottles in an hour.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T20:33:50-04:00
Well, unless it's like EK level of surprising, you shouldn't need too much of that. Especially with 4 or 5 happy drunk helpers. And me. Sauce bottling dwarves.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T20:36:49-04:00
I'm counting on you all to get it to that level
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T21:02:33-04:00
Well whenever I share a kickstarter, nobody pays attention to it. I won't be your biggest PR helper. Maybe Dopey.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T21:02:38-04:00
I like this dwarves analogy. When your sauces go live, we'll have to figure out places. What are you thinking for a campaign goal? Just to know what scope you expect and need as a minimum.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T21:03:46-04:00
EP needs 10 pounds and has 16 days to get it. Get the confetti cannons ready, they're the first knockoff to be successful. Unless they somehow stop right now, which would be funny.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T21:10:57-04:00
That would be hilarious. I am still gathering information to figure out what the goal will be.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T22:57:32-04:00
So on the Ginosaji campaign, it still shows the "1 more recent comment" thing when there's a new comment. Did KS just give up on this campaign because of all the constant comments here?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-12T23:12:11-04:00
You know what would be perfect right now? Some Weapons of Self-Destruction! Robin Williams was one of the best stand-up comics of all time.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-12T23:34:00-04:00
The comments on The Others stopped showing the New Comment button as soon as the campaign ended. I think it only shows that while the campaign is active.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T00:35:37-04:00
Well for this one it gave up long before that i think. Just like, "Ok, I'm done, you guys go on ahead."
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T00:35:55-04:00
Weapons of Self-Destruction was the best idea I've had all night!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T00:41:19-04:00
This one did get overwhelmed at times
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T00:42:53-04:00
Yeah, kinda got exciting what with all the update 9 hullabaloo and the 3 final days countdown hooplah. Don't forget the post-campaign survey/delivery hubbub.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T00:53:32-04:00
And the drawings. 100 comments/second!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T00:56:30-04:00
That got crazy. Dang it, I have to wake up earlier tomorrow. I wish this could be a mon/wed. so i could be up later. Or this weekend. 4 day fall break!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T08:55:34-04:00
*yawn* good morning everyone. I wish it were back to bed now.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-13T09:17:31-04:00
I hate public transportation. I really do.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-10-13T13:11:38-04:00
Nom nom nom ....sauce
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-13T13:21:39-04:00
You're only eating sauce? That must be some good sauce. What kind is it?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T13:39:41-04:00
Maybe it's that chewable beer from yesterday. How's everyone doing today?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T14:06:09-04:00
I feel like my insides are made of fatigue-inducing knives
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-13T14:23:03-04:00
@LZ, you gotta bottle that stuff! Who wouldn't pay to feel like that? Need a sick day and can't fake it, no worries, try a swig of LZ's Zombie sauce!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T14:30:39-04:00
BaKhan, I'll see what I can do
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-13T14:40:17-04:00
@LZ, for reals though, sorry you're feeling unwell.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-13T14:41:33-04:00
Need a sick day and can't fake it, no worries, try a swig of LZ's Zombie sauce!
Or better yet, spike the boss's lunch. The boss will go home and you can goof off for the rest of the day.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T14:43:27-04:00
The worst part of it is that I have to work through it
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T14:56:34-04:00
I have an incredibly sore throat, probably a disease, which was not helped at all by the crazy game on saturday, especially since I sat in the student section after ushering, which inherently involves crazy shouting. This happened twice last year, though I lost my voice completely then, and only at its worst this time I could still get one in 5 words through easily though my throat hurts.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T14:57:56-04:00
Could be worse. Just between the times this happened last year, I had the worst fever of my life and went on like normal because I can't miss classes. Not fun, but for the first time in my life, i felt the cold weather like a normal person! I swear the fever got easily up to 105 or 106. My little brother caught it from me, didn't have it as bad, and it was like 104. And he's in wimpy high school, so he skipped a full week almost!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T15:58:55-04:00
What the heck? Youtube just doesn't work for me today. Tried exiting the tab and retrying, trying other videos, everything. The rest of the internet obviously works, but youtube, my life, doesn't. Well, it works, but no youtube videos load and play. Other players do, just not youtube videos. I even restarted my computer. Everything's perfect but youtube player.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T17:29:04-04:00
Now it does. I was panicking for a second there. Really, two hours, but what ever.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T18:04:07-04:00
No sign of intelligent life for 3 hours? *starts a rave*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-13T21:50:36-04:00
I got it LZ! "Hot" cold medicine! Sweat that bastard out!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-13T22:09:51-04:00
There you go!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T22:24:59-04:00
Fight fire with fire! Uncle Zombitten's fever medicine! If it seems exactly the same as the cold medicine, that's just your fever-hallucinations.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T23:10:25-04:00
Whoa, EP lost like 30 pounds! I'm going to cause a heart attack from watching that one so much. I'm watching it closer than the creators.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-13T23:19:45-04:00
Hmm, new weight loss program; run a knockoff kickstarter from UK! You can lose 30 pounds in less than a day!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T00:08:28-04:00
Kickstarter needs a like button
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T00:33:15-04:00
We've discussed this. And at least an edit option, if not a delete.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T09:25:07-04:00
and a keyword search function for the comments section, that maybe more than any other!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T10:02:38-04:00
No, you'd overload your computer if you had to search through all the comments. "Ctrl F 'E'"... crash. "No! I hadn't even finished the word!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T11:21:07-04:00
So don't make it one of those blasted "search as you type" functions. Those annoy me anyway.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T11:34:00-04:00
Nah, a search wouldn't be good for... whoa, only 4,500 left as of this comment! Elan gets 100,000!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T11:34:56-04:00
Someone should probably tell him or we'll all just be waiting here for it. Or at least in my mind we will. More likely you or me, LZ, will get it seeing the last couple days. I'm catching up, btw. Slowly but surely. In 20 years, I will be comment king!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T11:58:19-04:00
This is the first office I've worked in where the folks don't devour free chocolate when it is offered. I think they are aliens in disguise.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T12:03:47-04:00
Wait... wait... ... . . freakin' .
They don't eat free chocolate? Nope, still not computing... Do they eat chocolate they pay for? Are they all severely lactose intolerant? Actually, I think I remember a race of aliens who didn't eat chocolate, but I can't remember from where. Maybe they're all dogs in disguise?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T12:12:01-04:00
@Geist, I don't know about aliens, but they are probably serial killers or something... O_o
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T12:57:04-04:00
Careful, Geist! It could be a trap...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T13:20:41-04:00
I spent nearly $20 bucks on 2 bags that had different types of candy and chocolate and the co-workers have hardly made a dent in it. They are defiantly serial killers. Or commies.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T13:22:24-04:00
At this point I'm going to end up eating half of this stuff by myself. Just when I've started trying to eat better for my health.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T14:35:39-04:00
@LZ, when you said that I had the most evil idea instantly zapped into my brain! Picture this, a large chocolate bust of Admiral Akbar, and inside.... Tooth paste, a toothbrush, mouthwash and dental floss! Its a trap!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T14:36:45-04:00
@Geist, be strong! The way I look at it, unless its the best chocolate in the world, its probably not that good and you'll regret it! Don't regret it!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T14:40:17-04:00
Geist, "defiantly serial killers"? They didn't want to. It was an accident, they swear! It just kind of... happened!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T14:42:21-04:00
BaKhan, that's an amazing idea! Not the most evil, though. That would be replacing a C# coder's semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;). They'll never be able to find the syntax error, and it'll slowly and surely drive them completely insane.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T14:54:51-04:00
@BaKhan: Nah. This is the stuff from the drug store. Still, one bag with $13.99. They had a sale of buy one bag, get the other half price. If I had know these yahoos weren't that into chocolate, I would have just gotten the cheapest and smallest bag.
I would never share good chocolate. If I buy it, then only I'm eating it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T15:06:04-04:00
That's expensive. Just go in the day after halloween or thereabouts. Really cheap candy, the same stuff you would get anyways.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T15:07:23-04:00
@Zem, to a coder perhaps, to a little kid? Yeah... thats what I thought!
Ok, well I haven't had reason to read that in a long time and they never updated or responded to us.
@Micah hope I wasn't coming off as a jerk I tend to put lol's in most anything I type, but yeah I only really remembered it cuz I remember saying, I better get the NSFW edition because it's now or never
No, you didn't. This is basically the aftermath of the dozens of times we had to try to find out what happened and tell people that it became an expansion deck rather than exclusive. Oh well, there were likely between a quarter and a third million NSFW decks out there, so really, not very exclusive.
So, EP just needs 41 pounds now, just 2 more decks sold. Well, props to them for being the first knockoff to be successful. Well, didn't another one make nearly this much but had the goal set at like $5,000?
Annnnnnd back to work. It was a nice weekend. Only a little chilly when in the shade but great temps in the sun light. It's a holiday today but it's not one that my job recognizes. Pity. I could have used another day to catch up on the current crop of movies in the theater.
Ooh, speaking of holidays, next monday and tuesday are fall break! Boo-yah!
Well, I finally decided to throw some money into the Ginosaji campaign! If you don't know what that is, donate $25 to get the movie and then watch the "trailer" from several years ago that they decided to make into a movie. Then donate more because it's gonna be awesome!

Well whenever I share a kickstarter, nobody pays attention to it. I won't be your biggest PR helper. Maybe Dopey.
I like this dwarves analogy. When your sauces go live, we'll have to figure out places. What are you thinking for a campaign goal? Just to know what scope you expect and need as a minimum.
EP needs 10 pounds and has 16 days to get it. Get the confetti cannons ready, they're the first knockoff to be successful. Unless they somehow stop right now, which would be funny.
That would be hilarious. I am still gathering information to figure out what the goal will be.
So on the Ginosaji campaign, it still shows the "1 more recent comment" thing when there's a new comment. Did KS just give up on this campaign because of all the constant comments here?
You know what would be perfect right now? Some Weapons of Self-Destruction! Robin Williams was one of the best stand-up comics of all time.
The comments on The Others stopped showing the New Comment button as soon as the campaign ended. I think it only shows that while the campaign is active.
Well for this one it gave up long before that i think. Just like, "Ok, I'm done, you guys go on ahead."
Weapons of Self-Destruction was the best idea I've had all night!
This one did get overwhelmed at times
Yeah, kinda got exciting what with all the update 9 hullabaloo and the 3 final days countdown hooplah. Don't forget the post-campaign survey/delivery hubbub.
And the drawings. 100 comments/second!
That got crazy. Dang it, I have to wake up earlier tomorrow. I wish this could be a mon/wed. so i could be up later. Or this weekend. 4 day fall break!!!
*yawn* good morning everyone. I wish it were back to bed now.
I hate public transportation. I really do.
Nom nom nom ....sauce
You're only eating sauce? That must be some good sauce. What kind is it?
Maybe it's that chewable beer from yesterday. How's everyone doing today?
I feel like my insides are made of fatigue-inducing knives
@LZ, you gotta bottle that stuff! Who wouldn't pay to feel like that? Need a sick day and can't fake it, no worries, try a swig of LZ's Zombie sauce!
BaKhan, I'll see what I can do
@LZ, for reals though, sorry you're feeling unwell.
Need a sick day and can't fake it, no worries, try a swig of LZ's Zombie sauce!
Or better yet, spike the boss's lunch. The boss will go home and you can goof off for the rest of the day.
The worst part of it is that I have to work through it
I have an incredibly sore throat, probably a disease, which was not helped at all by the crazy game on saturday, especially since I sat in the student section after ushering, which inherently involves crazy shouting. This happened twice last year, though I lost my voice completely then, and only at its worst this time I could still get one in 5 words through easily though my throat hurts.
Could be worse. Just between the times this happened last year, I had the worst fever of my life and went on like normal because I can't miss classes. Not fun, but for the first time in my life, i felt the cold weather like a normal person! I swear the fever got easily up to 105 or 106. My little brother caught it from me, didn't have it as bad, and it was like 104. And he's in wimpy high school, so he skipped a full week almost!
What the heck? Youtube just doesn't work for me today. Tried exiting the tab and retrying, trying other videos, everything. The rest of the internet obviously works, but youtube, my life, doesn't. Well, it works, but no youtube videos load and play. Other players do, just not youtube videos. I even restarted my computer. Everything's perfect but youtube player.
Now it does. I was panicking for a second there. Really, two hours, but what ever.
No sign of intelligent life for 3 hours? *starts a rave*
I got it LZ! "Hot" cold medicine! Sweat that bastard out!
There you go!
Fight fire with fire! Uncle Zombitten's fever medicine! If it seems exactly the same as the cold medicine, that's just your fever-hallucinations.
Whoa, EP lost like 30 pounds! I'm going to cause a heart attack from watching that one so much. I'm watching it closer than the creators.
Hmm, new weight loss program; run a knockoff kickstarter from UK! You can lose 30 pounds in less than a day!
Kickstarter needs a like button
We've discussed this. And at least an edit option, if not a delete.
and a keyword search function for the comments section, that maybe more than any other!
No, you'd overload your computer if you had to search through all the comments. "Ctrl F 'E'"... crash. "No! I hadn't even finished the word!
So don't make it one of those blasted "search as you type" functions. Those annoy me anyway.
Nah, a search wouldn't be good for... whoa, only 4,500 left as of this comment! Elan gets 100,000!
Someone should probably tell him or we'll all just be waiting here for it. Or at least in my mind we will. More likely you or me, LZ, will get it seeing the last couple days. I'm catching up, btw. Slowly but surely. In 20 years, I will be comment king!
This is the first office I've worked in where the folks don't devour free chocolate when it is offered. I think they are aliens in disguise.
Wait... wait... ... . . freakin' .
They don't eat free chocolate? Nope, still not computing... Do they eat chocolate they pay for? Are they all severely lactose intolerant? Actually, I think I remember a race of aliens who didn't eat chocolate, but I can't remember from where. Maybe they're all dogs in disguise?
@Geist, I don't know about aliens, but they are probably serial killers or something... O_o
Careful, Geist! It could be a trap...
I spent nearly $20 bucks on 2 bags that had different types of candy and chocolate and the co-workers have hardly made a dent in it. They are defiantly serial killers. Or commies.
At this point I'm going to end up eating half of this stuff by myself. Just when I've started trying to eat better for my health.
@LZ, when you said that I had the most evil idea instantly zapped into my brain! Picture this, a large chocolate bust of Admiral Akbar, and inside.... Tooth paste, a toothbrush, mouthwash and dental floss! Its a trap!
@Geist, be strong! The way I look at it, unless its the best chocolate in the world, its probably not that good and you'll regret it! Don't regret it!
Geist, "defiantly serial killers"? They didn't want to. It was an accident, they swear! It just kind of... happened!
BaKhan, that's an amazing idea! Not the most evil, though. That would be replacing a C# coder's semicolon (;) with a greek question mark (;). They'll never be able to find the syntax error, and it'll slowly and surely drive them completely insane.
@BaKhan: Nah. This is the stuff from the drug store. Still, one bag with $13.99. They had a sale of buy one bag, get the other half price. If I had know these yahoos weren't that into chocolate, I would have just gotten the cheapest and smallest bag.
I would never share good chocolate. If I buy it, then only I'm eating it.
That's expensive. Just go in the day after halloween or thereabouts. Really cheap candy, the same stuff you would get anyways.
@Zem, to a coder perhaps, to a little kid? Yeah... thats what I thought!
