@Geist, I have a nut allergy, so chocolate is a love hate relationship for me. Often when I see an awesome looking chocolate treat, I find out its toxic (ie: contains nuts) and it pisses me off. I like to point out that because they can't guarantee that there are no nuts, what else can't they guarantee? Its my tiny (and I realize quite pathetic) revenge. ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T15:17:23-04:00
I love the admiral ackbar idea! Stretch goal!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T15:18:07-04:00
Not much chocolate actually has nuts. I would know because I hate nutty chocolate for the most part as well.
And that's the most evil thing ever. To a kid? I would say skittles and m&ms, but that only works if you tell them it's just one or the other. I had a mix of skittles, m&ms, and peanut m&ms and it was really good. If you're only expecting one, though, it's horrible.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T15:18:29-04:00
It's really hard to find the best chocolate in the world in the US. Fortunately, my Belgian friend brought me some when she came to my house for dinner on Friday.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T15:19:46-04:00
Don't you hate it when you're sick and you're only eating because you know you have to? At least the day off is letting me catch up on TWD
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T15:24:17-04:00
Having worked with the British, I have to say I don't really like the taste of most of their chocolate. Or some of their other snack items. Pot Noodle taste like nothing despite having a suey sauce packet. They have a flavored barley water drink that is so gross, I didn't bother to finish the bottle. They bacon flavored crisp are a delight though.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T15:25:16-04:00
I've got to hop on Amazon and catch up on the new season of TWD. I love this show. Haven't gotten into the spin off "Fear The Walking Dead".
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T15:31:35-04:00
Belgian chocolate is far and away better than English chocolate.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T15:39:25-04:00
Most other world food is better then English food despite being a stones throw away from France.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-14T15:49:43-04:00
@Zem, it doesn't actually have to have nuts in it to have trace nuts from the factories... :(
@LZ, yep Belgian chocolate #1, British chocolate, comprable to NA so pretty low on the list.
@Geist, Fear the Walking Dead, was pretty good actually. It takes place during civilizations fall. I really enjoyed it!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T16:08:25-04:00
@BaKhan: I might catch FTWD after the first season is over with. That way I can binge watch the whole thing.
I've gotten into BoJack Horseman recently. Finished season 2. I wasn't into it at first but as I kept watching the episodes, they got better. Now I can't wait for season 3.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T16:14:50-04:00
I don't have tv, so I have to wait for things to show up on the Internet.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T16:27:25-04:00
Swiss chocolate is by far the best. Brits have a couple good things, like their chocolates are better than American ones for the most part. And theirs is the only kind of malt I actually like at all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T16:28:09-04:00
I don't even watch tv, and the rare times I deem a show worth watching, I just find it on the internet and go through it. Only like 3 of them I like are currently being aired.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-14T16:37:58-04:00
I don't have tv, so I have to wait for things to show up on the Internet
Same here. I haven't had a working tv in 6 years. All my shows I catch on Netflix or other parts of the internet.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T16:48:39-04:00
I keep hearing that Swiss is the best. I spent two years living in The Netherlands and Belgium, living on Belgian, Dutch, German, and Swiss chocolate. Swiss is great, but Belgian was always my favorite.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T17:09:25-04:00
We had 2 Belgian couchsurfers last year, and they asked whether they should bring chocolate as a gift. My dad said, "Nah, everyone does chocolate. Bring over some liquer! That's not such a normal gift.", so they did. Apparently it was some really good stuff, too.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T17:25:57-04:00
I bet it was. I never had any, but I've heard they make good alcohol.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T20:09:22-04:00
*comments just so it's not so dull in here but has nothing to comment about*
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T23:25:42-04:00
I got hungry (which was great) so I ate a little bit. Then my stomach started yelling at me. It was like, "Dude! What the HELL!? Why the hell would you DO that?!"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T23:35:12-04:00
Ah, being sick... good times.
Last time I got a serious flu, I lost 20 pounds in 2 days! And had nice abs! Not a pleasant way to do that, but I mean, when you weigh around 250... I mean I'm really tall and naturally muscular, so I'm not especially bulky, but still. And those weight loss pills say to be cautious if you lose 10 pounds in 10 days! How about 10 pounds per day!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T23:36:40-04:00
You'll hate your life, but who can argue with results like that?! Buy some flu today! Now in specialty flavors such as "Violent Vomiting", "Disastrous Diarrhea", or "Grape"!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-14T23:42:27-04:00
Your toilet has been nasty lately; it deserves to be punished!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-14T23:55:20-04:00
Mine? Which one? I wish I had a personal one. Remember I live in a dorm? And mine doesn't even have a personal sink in each room! It sucks horribly. That would be so much nicer.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T01:43:56-04:00
Not yours specifically. I was adding onto your sales pitch.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T08:52:27-04:00
Ah. The conversation was so spaced out last night I didn't even remember that.

It's Thursday. That's all I got.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T10:37:27-04:00
Happy thursday!

In other news, the Exploding Puppies copy cat game is now fully funded. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Hats off to them for being the first rip off game that was successful.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T11:42:21-04:00
Nope, they're one dollar under on my screen, plus I'll be removing my 1 pound I have for commenting.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T11:43:59-04:00
Oh duh, 750 pounds. Still, they will get maybe 50 more by the end or just lose everything like the last few days. The worst part is they gave no credit to EK as the inspiration.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T13:57:52-04:00
Those fish poops! (Get it? Bass-turds... BaDump-tchss!)

I like it
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-15T14:24:23-04:00
Ever have a desire to listen to a particular song for no other reason than because you want to? Explains why I've been listening to this for t he last hour or so.
I get that way with Give Me a Sign (Breaking Benjamin), Bullet (Hollywood Undead), Inside the Fire (Disturbed), and a slew of songs by Metallica, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Avenged Sevenfold. Those are the most frequent. Occasionally with Trivium and Dragonforce, and a bunch others
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T14:33:34-04:00
Oh yeah, and Living on my Own by Freddie Mercury
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-15T14:38:23-04:00
I'll have to check out those songs on YouTube.
I'd torture my non chocolate loving co-workers with this stuff if it weren't for the fact that I like having a roof over my head and booze in my belly.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T15:00:49-04:00
Dang it, it deleted my comment somehow and I need to retype it entirely!
One more day till fall break, but since I don't want to do any work over the weekend, though I have something on tuesday, I have to finish the first part of my lab practical midterm and then start the next and make up 3 procedures and hypotheses to send to my TA for approval in addition to all the normal things. At least that leaves the weekend open till tuesday!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T15:39:46-04:00
Geist, you totally should look them up. Bullet is probably the happiest song about suicide ever
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T15:55:37-04:00
Whee! I'mma go kill maself! Cyanide and happiness!
Sarah Bernard 2015-10-15T16:37:26-04:00

It is a great game, isn't it? I think I kinda out-played myself to the point where it's lost its novelty, but it's an amazing game.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T17:23:51-04:00
Welp, EP is funded...
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T17:26:13-04:00
Unequivocally so this time.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T17:56:35-04:00
Still waiting for some guy to go "Syke!" And take out like 100 pounds 5 days from the end.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T18:48:50-04:00
Has anyone ever said, "Oh boy! A surprise onslaught of violent hiccups! I love when they're so strong you can't get rid of them and they throw your head back every. single. GODDAMN. TIME!"
No? didn't think so. I hate hiccups, especially when they're so strong you can't get rid of them and they throw your head back every. single. GODDAMN. TIME!!!!!!
He had to go for another enema. *sigh* he was going quite regularly for a week. Though all was good in the hood. Then he stopped again yesterday. I went back sooner to avoid making things worse. He's chilling on the heating pad now. I wish there was a safe cream to numb his bum. He has to be so sore!!!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-15T20:07:46-04:00
Oh no! Get better soon, Leo!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-15T20:53:56-04:00
Every night, just read to him, "Everybody poops". It'll become his favorite book!
My grandpa got colon cancer (and kicked its butt even as old as he is), and while he was recovering, there was a time when they had to remove the extra stuff and hope his colon took back to its job. So when we heard he'd finally pooped again for the first time since going to the hospital, we brought him that book. Greatest gift ever.
Awhhh, that's a good idea. We just call him little butt a lot. His butt is too tiny for his warrior poo. I just made some homemade pedialyte, going to keep him hydrated. Just so stressful - i leave town tomorrow morning for a few days! My friend is taking him, and he's an animal lover to the core, so I know he'll treat him well. But I think he worries more than i do!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T00:13:47-04:00
It's good that he's getting the care he needs
Rob Fletcher 2015-10-16T00:44:16-04:00
How did everyone else get theirs? I'm still waiting.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T00:50:43-04:00
Rob, you really should have emailed support@explodingkittens.com by now for help. These mostly arrived like two months or more ago. But don't worry, because the team really wants to help each and every backer get what they ordered. Just email the support there with a clear subject bar and your problem clearly, maybe with details, in the body so they can respond promptly. Also, you may not get a response. Some people have had them just show up magically at their doors. If you go like 2 weeks with no response or kittens, try emailing again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T03:10:00-04:00
Rob, if you're looking for a response, it's right below this comment.
`
If the rest of you are wondering why I'm up at 2 a.m., it's because once I'm done here, it's practically fall break! Woot-hoot! Not even close to done yet, but it's gonna be done! Hopefully!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T03:57:33-04:00

Shoot. Below the next comment down, imagine this:
" `
Well, 3 am is as good a time as any to finish up. Good morning, everyone!"
sorry, accidentally hit tab instead of `, so when I hit enter, it posted the comment rather than returning, and THERE'S NO EDIT OPTION ON THESE COMMENTS!!! See what I meant?

Well Creeper, I'm sure some of the KC members would be happy to pitch in. You could start a GoFundMe page for little Nugget. I'd help since he is so adorable and he is so lucky to have a mom like you to care for him.
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T10:24:33-04:00
Good morning troops, long time no see. I have been vastly busy with travel and the house, but I have a little time this morning.
How is everyone doing? I see Creeper's kitten is having difficulties, is everyone else well?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-16T10:56:57-04:00
Morning corps!
@Creeper sending lots of positive pooping vibes for the little guy!
@PoT, good to see you! How is the house coming along?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-16T10:59:44-04:00
Howdy PoT! Happy Friday and Soon-To-Be-Halloween!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T11:06:45-04:00
Hi all! PoT, I'm waiting to hear back from some people so I can put together a Kickstarter.
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T11:26:44-04:00
@BaKhan. The house is coming along spectacularly. They are sheeting the roof now. Within a couple of weeks I expect it to be weather tight with doors and windows in place (but not siding or masonry). After that the insulators come in and about a week after them we pour the basement floor and install the furnace so they can work through the cold weather months.
@Geist. Howdy!
@LZ. A Kickstarter for what?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T11:27:28-04:00
Hot sauce
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T11:30:34-04:00
Really? I am a fan of hot sauces. Let me know when you kick off.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T11:31:29-04:00
Oh, wow, the entire core Corps reporting for duty! I would have been here earlier, but due to being up till 3, I don't even remember turning off my alarm, but I do remember my roommate's alarm giving me just enough time to make it to my first class, thankfully. No breakfast or reporting for duty in a timely fashion, just go straight to jail.
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T11:34:22-04:00
Good morning Zem, glad you made it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T11:39:05-04:00
Top 'O the mornin'! Two more classes and giving something to a TA and then it's FALL BREAK!!! Until tuesday when I do my large physics assignment. But still, I can rub it in all of your faeces that I have a 4 day weekend.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-16T11:46:18-04:00
House warming at PoT's house!!!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T11:47:31-04:00
PoT, I will certainly let you know when I kick it off. I'm getting antsy, though. It's been more than a week.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T11:50:49-04:00
LZ, Make sure to bury it in the litter box. I'm sure there's a person or two who check there but not here quite as often.
`
Here's the core Corps guidelines, while everyone is here: http://9gag.com/gag/avLmx3d Follow those simple rules and you'll never go astray.
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T11:52:03-04:00
@Geist. I think we should wait at least until there's a furnace for the house warming.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-16T11:53:44-04:00
@PoT: Isn't that what booze is for? To keep you warm? Hot sauce helps but I'd rather drink some tequila than straight up hot sauce.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T11:55:49-04:00
Yes, I'm planning on announcing it everywhere I can. I don't have a particularly wide reach, so I'm going to make sure to stretch as far as I can.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T11:59:29-04:00
Geist, we can mix both. You don't think there's hot sauce liquer?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T12:01:27-04:00
I saw on an episode of Moonshiners that some guy mixed Tabasco into his shine.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T12:01:58-04:00
I know pepper vodka exists. Geist you are welcome anytime at all. I probably won't be there, but knock yourself out. I did my roughing it when I was in my twenties, I feel no urge to repeat that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T12:04:48-04:00
Haha. That moment when you get a score that seems low on your test, but you have no clue how many points the test had total, so there's no way to know.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-16T12:14:01-04:00
Come on you guys! How about hot 100's? There are actually quite a few "hot" liquors! As far as the house warming party.... people kick off about 300btu's an hour, so if you had say 40 people over, that would cover most of the heat loss of your house! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T12:15:44-04:00
Or you could just suck it up and enjoy the cold! Woo! It was like 45 this morning and perfect!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-16T12:18:54-04:00
@Zem, you are certifiably crazy. That is all.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T12:19:08-04:00
"Professor? Can we talk about this 36 I got on your test?"
"Yeah, isn't that incredible?"
"I guess... I just really thought I would have done better. I mean, I studied really hard!"
"It shows."
"I'm serious! I studied my brains out and only got a 36?! I need help!"
"I'm also serious. You got 36 out of 25."
Powers of Tesla 2015-10-16T12:57:43-04:00

Bye, PoT!
`
LZ, basically. Except I don't know if it was out of 100, 150, 200, or some arbitrary number. As you can see, it would make a big percentage difference. Thankfully, though, nobody was prepared for that exam, so I may have ended up being around average.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T13:27:49-04:00
BaKhan, no, I'm perfectly sane. Cold is love. Cold is life.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T13:45:44-04:00
I can think of several scenarios in which those words would be absolutely creepy.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-16T13:51:30-04:00
What, "Bye, PoT!"? Yeah, I guess I can see how that could be taken the wrong way.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-16T14:02:39-04:00
Yes, exactly. And, to a lesser extent, the part about cold being love and life.

You'll hate your life, but who can argue with results like that?! Buy some flu today! Now in specialty flavors such as "Violent Vomiting", "Disastrous Diarrhea", or "Grape"!
Your toilet has been nasty lately; it deserves to be punished!
Mine? Which one? I wish I had a personal one. Remember I live in a dorm? And mine doesn't even have a personal sink in each room! It sucks horribly. That would be so much nicer.
Not yours specifically. I was adding onto your sales pitch.
Ah. The conversation was so spaced out last night I didn't even remember that.
Morning Kittens.
It's Thursday. That's all I got.
Happy thursday!
In other news, the Exploding Puppies copy cat game is now fully funded. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Hats off to them for being the first rip off game that was successful.
Nope, they're one dollar under on my screen, plus I'll be removing my 1 pound I have for commenting.
Oh duh, 750 pounds. Still, they will get maybe 50 more by the end or just lose everything like the last few days. The worst part is they gave no credit to EK as the inspiration.
Those fish poops! (Get it? Bass-turds... BaDump-tchss!)
Ichthyoid defecations!
I like it
Ever have a desire to listen to a particular song for no other reason than because you want to? Explains why I've been listening to this for t he last hour or so.
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Geist, all the time
I get that way with Give Me a Sign (Breaking Benjamin), Bullet (Hollywood Undead), Inside the Fire (Disturbed), and a slew of songs by Metallica, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Avenged Sevenfold. Those are the most frequent. Occasionally with Trivium and Dragonforce, and a bunch others
Oh yeah, and Living on my Own by Freddie Mercury
I'll have to check out those songs on YouTube.
I'd torture my non chocolate loving co-workers with this stuff if it weren't for the fact that I like having a roof over my head and booze in my belly.
Dang it, it deleted my comment somehow and I need to retype it entirely!
One more day till fall break, but since I don't want to do any work over the weekend, though I have something on tuesday, I have to finish the first part of my lab practical midterm and then start the next and make up 3 procedures and hypotheses to send to my TA for approval in addition to all the normal things. At least that leaves the weekend open till tuesday!
Geist, you totally should look them up. Bullet is probably the happiest song about suicide ever
Whee! I'mma go kill maself! Cyanide and happiness!
Played it, tempted others to get it. Love it. Thank you for the great game!
@Sarah: Huzzah!
It is a great game, isn't it? I think I kinda out-played myself to the point where it's lost its novelty, but it's an amazing game.
Welp, EP is funded...
Unequivocally so this time.
Still waiting for some guy to go "Syke!" And take out like 100 pounds 5 days from the end.
Has anyone ever said, "Oh boy! A surprise onslaught of violent hiccups! I love when they're so strong you can't get rid of them and they throw your head back every. single. GODDAMN. TIME!"
No? didn't think so. I hate hiccups, especially when they're so strong you can't get rid of them and they throw your head back every. single. GODDAMN. TIME!!!!!!
I need more good kitty vibes please. and pet insurance. and a sugar daddy
Oh no. What is wrong with little Leo?
He had to go for another enema. *sigh* he was going quite regularly for a week. Though all was good in the hood. Then he stopped again yesterday. I went back sooner to avoid making things worse. He's chilling on the heating pad now. I wish there was a safe cream to numb his bum. He has to be so sore!!!
Oh no! Get better soon, Leo!
Every night, just read to him, "Everybody poops". It'll become his favorite book!
My grandpa got colon cancer (and kicked its butt even as old as he is), and while he was recovering, there was a time when they had to remove the extra stuff and hope his colon took back to its job. So when we heard he'd finally pooped again for the first time since going to the hospital, we brought him that book. Greatest gift ever.
Awhhh, that's a good idea. We just call him little butt a lot. His butt is too tiny for his warrior poo. I just made some homemade pedialyte, going to keep him hydrated. Just so stressful - i leave town tomorrow morning for a few days! My friend is taking him, and he's an animal lover to the core, so I know he'll treat him well. But I think he worries more than i do!
It's good that he's getting the care he needs
How did everyone else get theirs? I'm still waiting.
Rob, you really should have emailed support@explodingkittens.com by now for help. These mostly arrived like two months or more ago. But don't worry, because the team really wants to help each and every backer get what they ordered. Just email the support there with a clear subject bar and your problem clearly, maybe with details, in the body so they can respond promptly. Also, you may not get a response. Some people have had them just show up magically at their doors. If you go like 2 weeks with no response or kittens, try emailing again.
Rob, if you're looking for a response, it's right below this comment.
`
If the rest of you are wondering why I'm up at 2 a.m., it's because once I'm done here, it's practically fall break! Woot-hoot! Not even close to done yet, but it's gonna be done! Hopefully!
Rob: Look below this.
Shoot. Below the next comment down, imagine this:
" `
Well, 3 am is as good a time as any to finish up. Good morning, everyone!"
sorry, accidentally hit tab instead of `, so when I hit enter, it posted the comment rather than returning, and THERE'S NO EDIT OPTION ON THESE COMMENTS!!! See what I meant?
Well Creeper, I'm sure some of the KC members would be happy to pitch in. You could start a GoFundMe page for little Nugget. I'd help since he is so adorable and he is so lucky to have a mom like you to care for him.
Good morning troops, long time no see. I have been vastly busy with travel and the house, but I have a little time this morning.
How is everyone doing? I see Creeper's kitten is having difficulties, is everyone else well?
Morning corps!
@Creeper sending lots of positive pooping vibes for the little guy!
@PoT, good to see you! How is the house coming along?
Howdy PoT! Happy Friday and Soon-To-Be-Halloween!
Hi all! PoT, I'm waiting to hear back from some people so I can put together a Kickstarter.
@BaKhan. The house is coming along spectacularly. They are sheeting the roof now. Within a couple of weeks I expect it to be weather tight with doors and windows in place (but not siding or masonry). After that the insulators come in and about a week after them we pour the basement floor and install the furnace so they can work through the cold weather months.
@Geist. Howdy!
@LZ. A Kickstarter for what?
Hot sauce
Really? I am a fan of hot sauces. Let me know when you kick off.
Oh, wow, the entire core Corps reporting for duty! I would have been here earlier, but due to being up till 3, I don't even remember turning off my alarm, but I do remember my roommate's alarm giving me just enough time to make it to my first class, thankfully. No breakfast or reporting for duty in a timely fashion, just go straight to jail.
Good morning Zem, glad you made it.
Top 'O the mornin'! Two more classes and giving something to a TA and then it's FALL BREAK!!! Until tuesday when I do my large physics assignment. But still, I can rub it in all of your faeces that I have a 4 day weekend.
House warming at PoT's house!!!
PoT, I will certainly let you know when I kick it off. I'm getting antsy, though. It's been more than a week.
LZ, Make sure to bury it in the litter box. I'm sure there's a person or two who check there but not here quite as often.
`
Here's the core Corps guidelines, while everyone is here: http://9gag.com/gag/avLmx3d
Follow those simple rules and you'll never go astray.
@Geist. I think we should wait at least until there's a furnace for the house warming.
@PoT: Isn't that what booze is for? To keep you warm? Hot sauce helps but I'd rather drink some tequila than straight up hot sauce.
Yes, I'm planning on announcing it everywhere I can. I don't have a particularly wide reach, so I'm going to make sure to stretch as far as I can.
Geist, we can mix both. You don't think there's hot sauce liquer?
I saw on an episode of Moonshiners that some guy mixed Tabasco into his shine.
http://9gag.com/gag/a3LnZNQ
I know pepper vodka exists. Geist you are welcome anytime at all. I probably won't be there, but knock yourself out. I did my roughing it when I was in my twenties, I feel no urge to repeat that.
Haha. That moment when you get a score that seems low on your test, but you have no clue how many points the test had total, so there's no way to know.
Come on you guys! How about hot 100's? There are actually quite a few "hot" liquors! As far as the house warming party.... people kick off about 300btu's an hour, so if you had say 40 people over, that would cover most of the heat loss of your house! ;)
Or you could just suck it up and enjoy the cold! Woo! It was like 45 this morning and perfect!
@Zem, you are certifiably crazy. That is all.
"Professor? Can we talk about this 36 I got on your test?"
"Yeah, isn't that incredible?"
"I guess... I just really thought I would have done better. I mean, I studied really hard!"
"It shows."
"I'm serious! I studied my brains out and only got a 36?! I need help!"
"I'm also serious. You got 36 out of 25."
I'm off to take the dog to his therapy session. Then up to the house. I may not be back today so if I don't see you til Monday.... Bye.
Bye PoT!
Bye, PoT!
`
LZ, basically. Except I don't know if it was out of 100, 150, 200, or some arbitrary number. As you can see, it would make a big percentage difference. Thankfully, though, nobody was prepared for that exam, so I may have ended up being around average.
BaKhan, no, I'm perfectly sane. Cold is love. Cold is life.
I can think of several scenarios in which those words would be absolutely creepy.
What, "Bye, PoT!"? Yeah, I guess I can see how that could be taken the wrong way.
Yes, exactly. And, to a lesser extent, the part about cold being love and life.
...
...
...
cold is life.
...
...
...
...
But cold IS love, LZ...

...

@Zem, I would wager that one (yes only one) winter here (which isn't even that bad as far as Canada goes) would change your mind forever! But hey I was wrong before... once. ;)
I need to get a baking dish. I have no reason why I shouldn't have a ton of Pyrex dishes by now.
It's been a week and a half. I'm faxing those Kentucky folks.
