@BaKhan: I had a relaxing weekend. Went to a book fair at the State Department. Watched 3 movies and found some really excellent craft books at the used book store where I volunteer. Was cold and windy so I had both the regular and space heater pumping on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Worst thing about taking a week off, forgetting your passwords. And worst thing about forgetting passwords, forgetting security question answers. Now I'm on hold waiting to get it all reset. I knew having to drag myself out of bed this morning meant something.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T11:36:35-04:00
@Geist, sounds like you had a great weekend! I am in the midst of another juice fast, and I spent this weekend baking! I know, I know, I'm crazy! I made gingerbread men (will be skelletons), sugar skull sugar cookies, chocolate mice (which look like little mice and taste like chocolate truffle) and P.Butter Balls (made from "not peanut butter" as I'm allergic), these combine, cornflakes, rice crispies, coconut, chocolate chips, and lots of sugar and syrup. I then dip them in chocolate and attach pretzles for the legs of theses spidery treats! Was awesome to make them, but I want to try them so much! You know how hard it is being covered in chocolate and not being able to eat any? Yep, I'm crazy!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T11:38:45-04:00
@GM, the worst thing? Thats going back to work at all!
And, you know that something might possibly have gone wrong when you hear "We're glad you're back" the first day back from days off....
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:02:51-04:00
@GM, what? You need to go man! You don't get to bitch if you don't vote! Work can wait!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:03:30-04:00
@GM, Most. Dreaded. Words. Ever!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-19T12:10:13-04:00
You know how hard it is being covered in chocolate and not being able to eat
No clue. I've never been covered in chocolate before ;-)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:14:45-04:00
@Geist, you need to find a real man! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T12:27:15-04:00
Halo everybody! This is what I get for sleeping in? Assigned reading on my day off?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-19T12:30:22-04:00
@Bakhan: You mean this one isn't? *pokes blow up doll*
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-19T12:31:00-04:00
Holy crap! One of the Florida companies got back to me; they'll work with me, but their minimum order is 100 gallons!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-19T12:33:46-04:00
Wow. That sounds like a lot but smaller than asking for a bottle order of 2,000.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:34:32-04:00
@Geist, you may need professional help... lolz! ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:35:23-04:00
@LZ, that sir, is a lot of haute sauce!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:35:32-04:00
or hot sauce even!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-19T12:40:31-04:00
Geist, 100 gallons would fill 2560 bottles.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:43:10-04:00
@LZ, would that all have to be the same sauce, or can you split it up between different kinds?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:45:16-04:00
Well, that was a nice little update wasn't it?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-19T12:47:59-04:00
That was a nice update.
That's 100 gallons per recipe. So we're talking over 10k bottles for four flavors. I really hope the local people can help me out with a smaller minimum.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:49:09-04:00
Well, I'd take two of each kind off you if that helps... ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-19T12:50:42-04:00
That does help. Now we just need 4,999 more people to do the same and we're golden! :-D
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T12:54:21-04:00
There has got to be at least that many people that ks and love hot sauce! You can do it LZ! Hot sauce FTW!
Yeah, but folks on here wanted samples. I'll have to just sell people 5 oz bottles at a discount for sample purposes, with the understanding that they spread the word and let people they know try it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T14:06:36-04:00
Silly me, I made lunch and forgot to check in!
Update? Someone say update? I thought someone said update.
I was planning on sharing it if I got the chances. My family loves hot food as well. Spicy food almost as much!
Hrothgar's Hoard 2015-10-19T14:07:06-04:00
Hey all, hope you don't mind a shameless plug. I'm running a project featuring solid wood cases for miniatures and dice. I featured these at Gen Con this past summer and have been getting some good reviews in. Come take a look at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1658949603/hrothgar-iv-skalds-song
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T14:08:29-04:00
Did I ever amazon review it? Well, I think I 5 starred it, but I don't know if my comedy skills are high enough to make a worthwhile review. If I could make it funny, I would have by now.
Zem, the ones that were mentioned earlier weren't Hrothgar's(though they do look nice, I can't justify spending any more money this year on Kickstarter).
Damien Cabral 2015-10-19T14:15:28-04:00
I never received mine. Could you send me one? Damien Cabral
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T14:27:08-04:00
Damien, see the latest update
`
GM, ok that's what I thought. They look pretty similar and at least that good of quality.
Skasch 2015-10-19T14:27:15-04:00
My review was rejected by Amazon reviews! What's wrong with it? =(
It's like a tomato. It's, red, juicy, and everyone pretends to love it because it's good for you. But everybody mistake if for a vegetable when it's an awesome fast-paced explosive (literally! Well, actually not really.) nerve-breaking paranoia-inducing socially-awkward friendship-destroyer hell-of-a-game! (not the tomato though) It's never felt so good to see one of your friend draw a kitten and lose miserably; he definitely deserved it anyway, he never paid you back your 10 bucks for the grub a year ago. What an asshole. But drawing a card will become your worst nightmare ever. And cats. And goats. Actually, you will literally (This time, it is literally literally!) be scared of everything. Even of your grandma with her missing teeth. Maybe she will Nope your Skip. That would be a really mean move Grandma. I hate you already.
You're gonna love it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-19T14:31:46-04:00
That is an awesome review!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T14:39:29-04:00
Maybe it's too long or something? No, there are much longer reviews on amazon. Who knows. I would try submitting it again. That was a really good review!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T14:44:10-04:00
Maybe sub A-hole, with jerk?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T14:56:50-04:00
I was thinking that as well, but does Amazon really have that strict of censorship? I mean it's worth a try.
Adam Vetter 2015-10-19T14:57:37-04:00
Wasn't the NSFW deck supposed to be Kickstarter Exclusive?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T15:11:49-04:00
OAHMAGERD.That's going to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Adam, we've talked thoroughly about this, but unless the team makes an official statement, think of it as the first ever expansion deck and be happy. There are way too many out there to be considered "exclusive" just because so many were ordered from the campaign and they really never mentioned that after the campaign became so huge.
Adam Vetter 2015-10-19T15:20:06-04:00
The only reason I backed this campaign was because the NSFW deck was supposed to be exclusive and this was the only way to get it. Otherwise I would have waited for the price to go down and buy it for much cheaper. I feel lied to and ripped off.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-19T15:26:52-04:00
@Adam, sorry you feel that way.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T15:29:18-04:00
Well 1, that's a bad reason to back a campaign, and B, the price didn't go down. So feel good about life and yourself and the fact that you got it and played it before anyone else who got it otherwise and you got the (truly) exclusive first edition kickstarter box.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-19T15:51:58-04:00
What a rough day. Since starting this job, things are usually smooth but today Monday tried to have her way with me. This calls for a drink. Pity I didn't make a batch of Cherry Ranch flavored vodka when I had the chance.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T15:58:58-04:00
We're having the after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-party.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-19T19:28:26-04:00
It's way more than that if you count every day we've been here since the original party.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T01:42:54-04:00
So... how is everyone? Asleep? Good, good...
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T02:21:40-04:00
Sleep is for the dead...so, yeah....I'm going to sleep now.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T02:22:21-04:00
Pssh, all this time you were lurking and never said anything? Pssh!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T03:55:39-04:00
Fine! I'll go to bed! But don't complain when I'm not here to greet you in the morning!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T05:58:58-04:00
An early "Good Morning!" fellow KC crew and others. It's going to be 70 degrees today so go outside and enjoy the last of the warm weather for the year.
Adam Vetter 2015-10-20T08:08:40-04:00
@Micah- the price will go down. I back a fair number of Kickstarters and $20 is a really high price for what this is, which I even said during the campaign. My wife was really excited for this game and wanted all of it. That is why I backed. Had they said during the campaign that the NSFW stuff would be available after the Kickstarter I would have convinced her that this was a bad deal right now and we could get it eventually when the price goes down. I'd wager in the next couple of years the price on Amazon will go down to $15, but you will be able to get it on sale for like $12.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T08:44:58-04:00
@Adam, isn't that the way with most games? I get them to play them. As far as I'm concerned this game is quite replayable. I think we got our monies worth.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T08:46:13-04:00
Morning corps! So in six days I repaired the damage a month of eating whatever I wanted! Today is a good day!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T09:46:21-04:00
Congrats on your weight loss Bakhan. I'm going to start working out in the free gym at my job next week. Hopefully I'll be a few inches slimmer by the time summer comes back around.
Trudeau definitely has his work cut out for him to prove himself to everyone(myself included, I didn't vote for his party).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T11:13:19-04:00
@GM, I don't understand why we have to keep going round and round, liberal, pc, liberal, pc, blah de freakin blah! They are all scum! Why can't we have a party that actually makes things better for this country, that has morals, that has credability.... sigh...
@BaKhan: Because, you're talking about politicians here(unless it's our mayor, he should go Federal and I would vote for him....he cares about the people).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T11:31:58-04:00
Why can't we have a party that actually makes things better for this country, that has morals, that has credibility
Because no one can agree on what that is. The religious folk think it's one way, the non religious folk thing it's another. If there were an honest politician, would people actually vote for him/her?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T11:40:56-04:00
Btw, what bought this on? Did Trump actually become president? *starts search for passport*
@Geist: We're talking Canadian election that happened yesterday. Liberals in power...wanting to "stimulate" the economy with printing more money(depending on the sources you read/people you believe...I'm not sure if this one is true).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T12:12:45-04:00
@GM, that was the platform that they ran on! We're going to go further in debt to get you all (by that I mean the east) what you want now, oh and don't worry about the pay back part, the next gov't will handle that... Good times...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T12:18:58-04:00
@GM: You didn't vote for the crack smoking mayor? He was so funny!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T12:24:19-04:00
@Geist, that was in Toronto... We live in Calgary. Its about 1680 miles away... ;) And, our mayor rocks!
Eric Lotos 2015-10-20T12:40:53-04:00
My review of the game is that there is little game play and the price is quite high for what there is. While I would definitely play EK over say, Uno or Go Fish, compared to a game like Pairs, No Thanks, Quibbler, etc., EK is just not compelling.
I was not impressed eough by it to play again 2 out of 5. Also, found the NSFW edition, not NSFW or even that funny.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T12:42:56-04:00
Ah politics. One of the three things you never talk about with others. Politics, religion, and that little dark green spot on your lower back. Or at least that's what I've heard. I've had some great conversations about politics and religion.
`
I think if just before primaries you got rid of the top two candidates, at least these days; it wasn't like this even 50 years ago, then you'd be left with people who at least have something to contribute rather than being a woman or having a magnificent toupee.
BaKhan, I know how it feels to have one region run your country. Everything here is decided by California, Texas, and New York. The rest don't matter at all. And by that I mean LA, Texas, and New York City, none of whom are good representations of the nation as a whole.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-20T12:53:35-04:00
@Zem, yeah, between Ontario and Quebec, the have 62% of the population of Canada, so, by the time they are done voting, all things have been decided. We're lucky we even get to vote. Oh well, could be worse, I guess.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-20T13:05:52-04:00
*sigh* The drunken sailor is back. The CFO deactivated half of the users in the new system but assigns me the task of cleaning it up. I went to send an email to all of the properties that there was an error and she and the CEO of the company imply that I was wrong in doing that and that maybe I need to go back for more training.
Funny, I'm not the one who caused the cluster f**k but suddenly I'm the one who needs training. Must be nice to be at the top where your poop don't stink.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T13:07:15-04:00
Zem, Ohio is actually the biggest one, strangely enough. In the last few decades, no one has taken office without getting the Ohio votes.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T13:08:18-04:00
Geist, reminds me of either Dilbert comics for sure or even sometimes the britcom Are You Being Served, one of the funniest ones ever made. Almost like a british Drew Carey show, but only in the workplace 99% of the time. Why did I just turn a dilbert situation into a britcom?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T13:13:56-04:00
LZ, that's probably a coincidence considering the three states have 7.25 times as many votes as you, though 16 isn't a small number of rep.s at all. But why can't every state do what Nebraska and Maine do and let each district's representative vote for their area rather than the state as a whole? I seriously don't understand why the majority gets the votes for the whole state rather than the areas that voted for them. That's why california, texas, and new york have so much power; you only have to win a couple cities and you suddenly have it in the bag.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T13:14:41-04:00
You need more training, Geist, because you pointed out the CFO's screw-up and made him look bad. Don't you know he can do no wrong? That's the training you need. Worship the chief officers and relish in sniffing their farts!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T13:18:26-04:00
I only see one state with more than 7 times what Utah has. We have 6.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T13:22:33-04:00
And I know it's just a coincidence, but the media always makes such a huge deal about Ohio because of that trend.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T13:31:04-04:00
*other 3 states combined. They have a near majority just from the three.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T13:47:59-04:00
True, but Texas also usually goes against Cali and NY
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T13:58:58-04:00
I know, which is a good thing for sure. Why can't they just vote per district?!
Speaking of hot sauce, the person at my dining hall sandwich thingy place accidentally put hot sauce on (she's new), but it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately, it's american hot sauce. Frank's Red Hot watered down quite a bit. I love that stuff, but it's just not spicy this way. I'm going to use your haute sauce all the time. Don't call it that though; sounds really pretentious.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-20T14:11:05-04:00
I definitely won't call it that.
I don't get why we don't just get rid of the electoral college. Let the people vote for the president and let their votes count.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T14:44:12-04:00
Huzzah! Someone came to try again to fix the bug problem! Hopefully this time they'll be dead for good. This time there were only a few.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T14:45:32-04:00
And penalize people for not voting like some other countries. Only about 60% on average actually go to vote.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-20T15:50:31-04:00
CinemaSins is sometimes the funniest person on youtube. The newest video, Paranormal Activity 3, is so funny. I mean, it doesn't take much to make fun of those movies, but he did it really well.
@Geist, Whats good?
@BaKhan: I had a relaxing weekend. Went to a book fair at the State Department. Watched 3 movies and found some really excellent craft books at the used book store where I volunteer. Was cold and windy so I had both the regular and space heater pumping on Saturday and Sunday nights.
Worst thing about taking a week off, forgetting your passwords. And worst thing about forgetting passwords, forgetting security question answers. Now I'm on hold waiting to get it all reset. I knew having to drag myself out of bed this morning meant something.
@Geist, sounds like you had a great weekend! I am in the midst of another juice fast, and I spent this weekend baking! I know, I know, I'm crazy! I made gingerbread men (will be skelletons), sugar skull sugar cookies, chocolate mice (which look like little mice and taste like chocolate truffle) and P.Butter Balls (made from "not peanut butter" as I'm allergic), these combine, cornflakes, rice crispies, coconut, chocolate chips, and lots of sugar and syrup. I then dip them in chocolate and attach pretzles for the legs of theses spidery treats! Was awesome to make them, but I want to try them so much! You know how hard it is being covered in chocolate and not being able to eat any? Yep, I'm crazy!
@GM, the worst thing? Thats going back to work at all!
@BaKhan: That too...but unfortunately I didn't win millions to be able to stay home and not have to work.
@GM, yeah, I hear that... :( Oh well, at least we have the election today, that should be awesome... O_o
Unfortunately, even with my boss giving me time off to go vote, I literally have too much to do to be able to go do so.
And, you know that something might possibly have gone wrong when you hear "We're glad you're back" the first day back from days off....
@GM, what? You need to go man! You don't get to bitch if you don't vote! Work can wait!

Now you'll only need 4998! At the rate this is going, you'll get there in no time!
Woot!
I want 3 of the fish sauce and I'll take some other sauce so I can flavor my salad dressings and burger meat.
So 1.5 oz bottles cost the same as 5 oz bottles. Lame.
Might as well go with the 5 oz bottles then.
Yeah, but folks on here wanted samples. I'll have to just sell people 5 oz bottles at a discount for sample purposes, with the understanding that they spread the word and let people they know try it.

Glad you enjoy the game Lee-Ann. I'm sure that is music to the EK team's ears. (They are still bugging this place, right?)
Lol they are still wondering what the he'll we are still doing here....
Hell
We're having the after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-after-party.
It's way more than that if you count every day we've been here since the original party.
So... how is everyone? Asleep? Good, good...
Sleep is for the dead...so, yeah....I'm going to sleep now.
Pssh, all this time you were lurking and never said anything? Pssh!
Fine! I'll go to bed! But don't complain when I'm not here to greet you in the morning!
An early "Good Morning!" fellow KC crew and others. It's going to be 70 degrees today so go outside and enjoy the last of the warm weather for the year.
@Micah- the price will go down. I back a fair number of Kickstarters and $20 is a really high price for what this is, which I even said during the campaign. My wife was really excited for this game and wanted all of it. That is why I backed. Had they said during the campaign that the NSFW stuff would be available after the Kickstarter I would have convinced her that this was a bad deal right now and we could get it eventually when the price goes down. I'd wager in the next couple of years the price on Amazon will go down to $15, but you will be able to get it on sale for like $12.
@Adam, isn't that the way with most games? I get them to play them. As far as I'm concerned this game is quite replayable. I think we got our monies worth.
Morning corps! So in six days I repaired the damage a month of eating whatever I wanted! Today is a good day!
Congrats on your weight loss Bakhan. I'm going to start working out in the free gym at my job next week. Hopefully I'll be a few inches slimmer by the time summer comes back around.
These next few months will be interesting, won't they BaKhan?
@GM, oh sweet Jesus! I think the world may be ending GM!
Trudeau definitely has his work cut out for him to prove himself to everyone(myself included, I didn't vote for his party).
@GM, I don't understand why we have to keep going round and round, liberal, pc, liberal, pc, blah de freakin blah! They are all scum! Why can't we have a party that actually makes things better for this country, that has morals, that has credability.... sigh...
@BaKhan: Because, you're talking about politicians here(unless it's our mayor, he should go Federal and I would vote for him....he cares about the people).
Why can't we have a party that actually makes things better for this country, that has morals, that has credibility
Because no one can agree on what that is. The religious folk think it's one way, the non religious folk thing it's another. If there were an honest politician, would people actually vote for him/her?
Btw, what bought this on? Did Trump actually become president? *starts search for passport*
@Geist: We're talking Canadian election that happened yesterday. Liberals in power...wanting to "stimulate" the economy with printing more money(depending on the sources you read/people you believe...I'm not sure if this one is true).
@GM, that was the platform that they ran on! We're going to go further in debt to get you all (by that I mean the east) what you want now, oh and don't worry about the pay back part, the next gov't will handle that... Good times...
@GM: You didn't vote for the crack smoking mayor? He was so funny!
@Geist, that was in Toronto... We live in Calgary. Its about 1680 miles away... ;) And, our mayor rocks!
My review of the game is that there is little game play and the price is quite high for what there is. While I would definitely play EK over say, Uno or Go Fish, compared to a game like Pairs, No Thanks, Quibbler, etc., EK is just not compelling.
I was not impressed eough by it to play again 2 out of 5. Also, found the NSFW edition, not NSFW or even that funny.
Ah politics. One of the three things you never talk about with others. Politics, religion, and that little dark green spot on your lower back. Or at least that's what I've heard. I've had some great conversations about politics and religion.
`
I think if just before primaries you got rid of the top two candidates, at least these days; it wasn't like this even 50 years ago, then you'd be left with people who at least have something to contribute rather than being a woman or having a magnificent toupee.
BaKhan, I know how it feels to have one region run your country. Everything here is decided by California, Texas, and New York. The rest don't matter at all. And by that I mean LA, Texas, and New York City, none of whom are good representations of the nation as a whole.
@Zem, yeah, between Ontario and Quebec, the have 62% of the population of Canada, so, by the time they are done voting, all things have been decided. We're lucky we even get to vote. Oh well, could be worse, I guess.
*sigh* The drunken sailor is back. The CFO deactivated half of the users in the new system but assigns me the task of cleaning it up. I went to send an email to all of the properties that there was an error and she and the CEO of the company imply that I was wrong in doing that and that maybe I need to go back for more training.
Funny, I'm not the one who caused the cluster f**k but suddenly I'm the one who needs training. Must be nice to be at the top where your poop don't stink.
Zem, Ohio is actually the biggest one, strangely enough. In the last few decades, no one has taken office without getting the Ohio votes.
Geist, reminds me of either Dilbert comics for sure or even sometimes the britcom Are You Being Served, one of the funniest ones ever made. Almost like a british Drew Carey show, but only in the workplace 99% of the time. Why did I just turn a dilbert situation into a britcom?
LZ, that's probably a coincidence considering the three states have 7.25 times as many votes as you, though 16 isn't a small number of rep.s at all. But why can't every state do what Nebraska and Maine do and let each district's representative vote for their area rather than the state as a whole? I seriously don't understand why the majority gets the votes for the whole state rather than the areas that voted for them. That's why california, texas, and new york have so much power; you only have to win a couple cities and you suddenly have it in the bag.
You need more training, Geist, because you pointed out the CFO's screw-up and made him look bad. Don't you know he can do no wrong? That's the training you need. Worship the chief officers and relish in sniffing their farts!
BaKhan and GM, just saw this: http://9gag.com/gag/aQnryZ8
I only see one state with more than 7 times what Utah has. We have 6.
And I know it's just a coincidence, but the media always makes such a huge deal about Ohio because of that trend.
*other 3 states combined. They have a near majority just from the three.
True, but Texas also usually goes against Cali and NY
I know, which is a good thing for sure. Why can't they just vote per district?!
Speaking of hot sauce, the person at my dining hall sandwich thingy place accidentally put hot sauce on (she's new), but it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately, it's american hot sauce. Frank's Red Hot watered down quite a bit. I love that stuff, but it's just not spicy this way. I'm going to use your haute sauce all the time. Don't call it that though; sounds really pretentious.
I definitely won't call it that.
I don't get why we don't just get rid of the electoral college. Let the people vote for the president and let their votes count.
Huzzah! Someone came to try again to fix the bug problem! Hopefully this time they'll be dead for good. This time there were only a few.
And penalize people for not voting like some other countries. Only about 60% on average actually go to vote.
CinemaSins is sometimes the funniest person on youtube. The newest video, Paranormal Activity 3, is so funny. I mean, it doesn't take much to make fun of those movies, but he did it really well.
