My entire afternoon has been slow. Absolutely nothing left to do(even have EVERYTHING I've received for the pay period that ends on Halloween ready). Plus, I think I ate too much at lunch, and I've been rather tired all afternoon.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T17:26:20-04:00
I might just take off a half hour early
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-23T17:29:49-04:00
I've got a half hour left, but today has been crawling! Haven't really accomplished anything... would have rather just stayed home tbh... oh well, I can see the weekend and I just DGAF!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T17:30:09-04:00
I at least had a bunch of meetings today. One thing those are good for is passing the time. Unless they're the kind in which you don't say anything. The ones today weren't that kind, though.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T17:50:09-04:00
I'm late. I'm late! For a club meeting, so not a very important date, but still, I don't have long to get there. Now watch as nobody's here when I get back.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T18:56:53-04:00
So that's three bottles for GM and six for BaKhan, yes?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-23T18:59:42-04:00
@LZ, yep! Sounds good! Hot sauce! Hot sauce!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T19:42:55-04:00
Oh, I use Worcestershire in one of them. Is that a problem for GM?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T20:09:11-04:00
BaKhan, when you read your email, keep in mind that full price for 9 bottles is $45
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T21:11:01-04:00
LZ, what about mine? I'll have 1 of each.
`
Chem club was awesome. We were supposed to have 30 people for this event like last year, but we only had 6 members, 3 executives, and 5 professors come, and 3 of the professors left before we had pizza. So what 30 people were supposed to have was left to basically 10. Plenty for Dobby! Got to take home basically half a pizza!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T21:56:44-04:00
Haha! I love the internet. So many people who don't think Andre the Giant could set the world record for alcohol consumption, despite him being 7'4" (2.24 m) tall, 550 lb (250 kg). He wasn't a human, he was a giant. Plus he was active and healthy as a wrestler and had just had a large dinner, so he could stand even more of it, not to mention he was famous for being a drunk (taking 2 bottles of vodka to make him "warm and fuzzy"). Even so, he passed out in the lobby after drinking all that from being so drunk and nobody could move him because he was so freaking huge, so they just left him there for a few hours until he woke up.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T22:03:29-04:00
Don't worry, Zem. I haven't forgotten you. I'm developing a new flavor now!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T22:37:13-04:00
Oh, by that, I mean they don't believe he drank 156 beers (16 gallons, 73 liters). It's alot, but there were plenty of witnesses.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T22:38:37-04:00
Dude, I'm a frikken genius!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T22:40:03-04:00
So 3 kinds to test so far? Let's see, the mad cow bbq and the like, the... inferno(?) was the all-purpose. What's the new one you've nearly finished?
Too bad I don't have these this weekend. Tomorrow is my little brother's birthday party, and he wanted bison burgers. Perfect opportunity! And tons of people to try them. Oh well, they'll get around for certain. Maybe we should hire an official food tester.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T22:48:18-04:00
The third is the fish one. It tastes great. My wife coughed when I had her taste it. She says it's WAY too hot. I thought it was perfect. I'm broken, though. I need to get more lemon juice to dilute it out.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T22:54:06-04:00
I would say that just means it needs more spice (or cowbell), but with fish, it shouldn't be too spicy. Maybe just above her comfort level. Just slightly less spicy, if at all. It has to be hot, after all. And too much lemon can be just as bad. Not to try to tell you how to do your job, just my thoughts on the subject. You can always use less if it's too much for you or more if you want it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T22:54:24-04:00
I am very excite, though. You're amazing for doing all this!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:13:20-04:00
Ok, I have the spice level right now. Now to get the garlic level back where it needs to be....
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:15:50-04:00
And thanks! Let's hope the rest of the world thinks so.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:23:51-04:00
Damn! Too much of that spice!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-23T23:29:56-04:00
By the time you finally add everything to the right amount, you'll have that minimum bottling order already!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:31:50-04:00
I know, right?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:33:51-04:00
There, I think that will do.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:42:02-04:00
I may end up leaving the cinnamon out all together.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-23T23:42:25-04:00
But it's too late for this batch.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T00:08:19-04:00
Actually, after it has been cooked, I think it will work. I have four bottles of the experimental flavor. There's more to be bottled, but I only have 4 more empty bottles, and I need to put Mad Cow in those.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T00:14:11-04:00
I have enough for 4 or 5 more bottles
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T00:29:18-04:00
Wow, plenty of comments here! What kind of bottles are you using? Shouldn't be hard to find more, but like what size and shape? Just curious.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T00:35:13-04:00
Just watching an awesome lecture by Brian Brushwood, an internet magician and so much more, from his campus touring days. It's really cool and well done. Called Scams, Sasquatch, and the Supernatural where he talks about the history and truth behind all sorts of scams, pseudoscience, and other forms of predictions and divinations. Worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T00:40:06-04:00
Sucks that these wint-o-green lifesaver mints I got are bad somehow. I love those as a little snack. Sweet, powerful, and almost nothing in them. And a couple of them can last me a long period of time. Plus, they get me to drink even more water because I love how cold water and wintergreen go together. These ones are like they were left outside for a month. I'll have to get new ones.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T00:42:06-04:00
I'm using 5 oz woozy bottles
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T00:54:10-04:00
Cheap, simple, and easy. The minimalist approach to beginner entrepreneurship. ;)
Though I can see where your bottling problems could come from. Not the easiest to package. At least they're cheap for if you need to get alot of them quick.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T01:03:24-04:00
Yep. I just need to order more. They'll be here within a few days
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T01:06:38-04:00
I know hot sauce is probably the biggest food niche market next to craft microbrewing, so if only we can find a way to get the word out there, I know you'll do pretty well for an individual-run first-time food kickstarter. Especially with the experience learned from the well oiled EK machine. And who could resist ambidextrous, EU friendly flannel sleeve stretch goals?!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T01:34:09-04:00
Exactly
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T01:45:17-04:00
Haha. I thought I heard the guy in the room across the hall from mine having sex one day (well, let's say I'm pretty sure at least his girlfriend was), but this time they were hiding it so well I could hear it all the way in my room. At least now my roommate is convinced as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T01:49:56-04:00
Oh wait, I have to be up early in the morning. Dang it. It's the weekend! I need to be able to stay up late! Well, I still could, it just won't work out well.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T01:53:29-04:00
Yeah, I have to get up early to make some Mad Cow before my 20 mile bike ride.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T10:02:25-04:00
@LZ, GM said he was allergic to 99% of what comes out of the ocean, so I would think Worcester sauce would be out. :(
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T10:03:20-04:00
Also, doubt he would need the fish hot sauce.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T10:04:46-04:00
Where is that guy?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T10:09:35-04:00
I need answers only he can definitively provide. Answers that will affect what the cost is...
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T10:36:59-04:00
Cause the "fish" sauce can be used for more than just fish. And it has no fish in it, unlike the Mad Cow....
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T11:50:43-04:00
The weekend hits and everyone disappears...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-24T12:00:03-04:00
I never got a response back from you LZ. I'd love to try the fish sauce as I will be ordering some tuna steaks within the next couple of weeks.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-24T12:02:06-04:00
Currently on an apartment cleaning streak. Anyone wanna clean my tub? I hate doing it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T12:33:43-04:00
Now you have
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T12:49:04-04:00
I think I'm going to have a hard time calling GM, Owen... I hope he doesn't mind! ;)
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T13:02:55-04:00
I imagine he'll just call you BaKhan, as well.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T15:58:15-04:00
LZ, you should have made a wasabi-based one for fish! That would have gone well. Better to stick with a few more regular ones for now, though.
`
Well, the Huskers got what they deserved. We had the '95 team here to watch, the greatest of all husker history, especially defense, and they had to watch us literally let the other team jog into within 10 yards of the endzone twice in the first quarter on a return. After that, I knew it was going to be one of those days. We had a bright moment when we kicked them into their own endzone and got 2 points, but that was it. We lost by 2 more. They ran down the last 2 minutes on the clock right in our faces.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T15:59:20-04:00
On another note, it's my brother's birthday (party) today, and he wanted bison burgers. That should be interesting! I love them.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T16:00:02-04:00
The burgers that is. Well, my family too, but they're not bison burgers.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T18:27:16-04:00
@LZ, you've got mail!
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T19:00:59-04:00
BaKhan, I need your phone number
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T19:07:28-04:00
Given!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T19:08:14-04:00
Did I mention I can't wait for some hot sauce?
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T19:21:08-04:00
The UPS store closed 15 minutes before I got your number. They said it wouldn't go out until Monday anyway, so you won't get it by Halloween.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-24T21:18:20-04:00
@LZ, no worries... It would have been awesome, but it's all good! It will taste amazing either way when I get it!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-24T21:23:16-04:00
Maybe if you pitch in for priority shipping, but that's really expensive and rarely worth it..
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-24T21:57:07-04:00
Yeah, the next tier up costs $100 more
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-25T10:20:05-04:00
*yawn* Happy End-Of-The-Weekend. Work is tomorrow and all I want to do is stay in bed and sleep.
Ale Nario 2015-10-25T11:04:16-04:00
Am I the only one yet to receive their reward? Thanks
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-25T11:29:44-04:00
Ale, check the newest update.
`
I like how we can say that now instead of having to detail everything.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-25T19:52:40-04:00
Huh, guess I wasn't the only one with a busy day.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T08:49:23-04:00
Morning Kittens. Only 7 days until we turn the clocks back one hour and enter a new month. I'm looking forward to getting an extra hour of sleep.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T09:18:12-04:00
Good Morning Corps!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T09:18:34-04:00
@Geist, not so fast! We've got Halloween first!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T09:41:47-04:00
If you think that is bad BaKhan, I've been seeing Christmas merchandise since the middle of October. Now that is early. I'm grateful I haven't heard any Christmas music yet but that will change once Halloween is over with.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T09:48:20-04:00
Looks like the Exploding Puppies campaign is a lock to be the first knock off that gets funded. Good luck to them and the backers.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T09:49:24-04:00
@Geist, I think it gets worse, the less excited we are for Christmas. I doubt it was much different when we were kids, we were just more excited for it then.... Oh well, at least there will be some good christmas movies to help us out.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-26T09:59:46-04:00
No, trust me, BaKhan, it's getting earlier and earlier. They finally hit a boundary of Thanksgiving, but they decided to advertise before advertising for Halloween and putting a shopping day right after Thanksgiving here to remind people that they should spend all their money now. I hate it absolutely. I love the holiday, but the commercialism is horrifying. There're no thanksgiving ads anymore, just straight from halloween to christmas.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T10:01:15-04:00
@BaKhan: back in the day, they didn't start the Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving. Nowadays, they start in the middle of October. I kinda get annoyed with that since I don't know anyone who starts buying Christmas decorations before Halloween.
@BaKhan: I don't mind what you call me. I've responded to some...interesting...names over the years. I even responded when someone called me George(working in a Boston Pizza kitchen at the time).
@Geist: We'll see. I got told last night that I'm supposed to be online(PS4) tonight by a certain time, because the guy who is unreliable at getting on in time for our weekly raiding wants to do it twice a week now....yet Monday's are the absolute WORST for me to be on by a specific time.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T10:35:46-04:00
I always forget you guys wait till just about Christmas before you have thanksgiving. We have to do it earlier or no one would be thankfull.... ;)
With all the talk of Christmas stuff, and being reminded to spend your money right away(Black Friday really is stupid...), I'm glad my family just spends the day together playing board games, card games, watching movies, and getting the turkey ready to eat.
@BaKhan: Speaking of Saturday...what time should we be showing up?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T11:17:18-04:00
@GM, whatever time works for you really. If you want to see me play, then probably by 9pm anyways. People tend to show up at all different times. If you're bored, come over early and I'll put you to work! ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T11:18:08-04:00
Speaking of Thanksgiving, now I want some ham. The real kind, not the crap that the grocery stores sell in package slices.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T11:18:58-04:00
Plus I need to get started cooking various soups and stews for the dead of winter season. If I get snowed in this year or in January, I expect to be prepared.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T11:19:29-04:00
@Geist, so I tried a different glaze for my ham this year, I normally just do a honey mustard, but this time I added minced garlic, oh baby! That was some sweet ass ham!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T11:20:37-04:00
You had me at "garlic" BaKhan. *makes a mental note to haunt BaKhan's house this holiday season*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T11:21:20-04:00
@Geist, as I've said before, you're welcome anytime!
Mmm...garlic. Definitely underused everywhere. When I was working in the last restaurant, we used TONS of puree garlic and Sambal. Put that with roasted mushrooms(and here's a note - I HATE mushrooms for their texture) that have salt, pepper, coriander and fennel seed(pepper, coriander and fennel a ground together), and I will actually enjoy them.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-10-26T11:33:55-04:00
Definitely underused everywhere
I couldn't agree with you more. I made my own salad dressing this morning with olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and GARLIC. A little more than what the recipe called for but that is why I have a toothbrush and toothpaste in my desk at work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-26T11:40:31-04:00
The world can never have too much garlic. Dang it, now I'm hungry already!
GM, nothing can make me like mushrooms; I've tried.
`
So they're finally going to spray the ants now that it's their third time coming here and they realize it's not going to be fixed that easy. I really hope they're done for this time.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-26T11:41:06-04:00
Also, you guys are really chatty this morning! Too bad I won't be around for most of today. That sucks for me.
@Zem: I'm waiting for files to start the payroll...so I might actually get out at a decent time(caught up on 99% of things I need/needed to do finally).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-10-26T11:59:28-04:00
Well I for once have a busy day, so I won't be in here too much.
Lord Zombitten 2015-10-26T12:54:54-04:00
GM, glad to hear you don't have a problem with Worcestershire
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-10-26T13:25:51-04:00
Wor shister shister sauce! I can never say it right. It's more like wor *cough* ter sauce... ;)
*waves at Creeper* How is the little nugget?
One more hour! I hate the last hour of Friday. It always goes so slow!
My entire afternoon has been slow. Absolutely nothing left to do(even have EVERYTHING I've received for the pay period that ends on Halloween ready). Plus, I think I ate too much at lunch, and I've been rather tired all afternoon.
I might just take off a half hour early

Cause the "fish" sauce can be used for more than just fish. And it has no fish in it, unlike the Mad Cow....
The weekend hits and everyone disappears...
I never got a response back from you LZ. I'd love to try the fish sauce as I will be ordering some tuna steaks within the next couple of weeks.
Currently on an apartment cleaning streak. Anyone wanna clean my tub? I hate doing it.
Now you have
I think I'm going to have a hard time calling GM, Owen... I hope he doesn't mind! ;)
I imagine he'll just call you BaKhan, as well.
LZ, you should have made a wasabi-based one for fish! That would have gone well. Better to stick with a few more regular ones for now, though.

Well, the Huskers got what they deserved. We had the '95 team here to watch, the greatest of all husker history, especially defense, and they had to watch us literally let the other team jog into within 10 yards of the endzone twice in the first quarter on a return. After that, I knew it was going to be one of those days. We had a bright moment when we kicked them into their own endzone and got 2 points, but that was it. We lost by 2 more. They ran down the last 2 minutes on the clock right in our faces.
On another note, it's my brother's birthday (party) today, and he wanted bison burgers. That should be interesting! I love them.
The burgers that is. Well, my family too, but they're not bison burgers.
@LZ, you've got mail!
BaKhan, I need your phone number
Given!
Did I mention I can't wait for some hot sauce?
The UPS store closed 15 minutes before I got your number. They said it wouldn't go out until Monday anyway, so you won't get it by Halloween.
@LZ, no worries... It would have been awesome, but it's all good! It will taste amazing either way when I get it!
Maybe if you pitch in for priority shipping, but that's really expensive and rarely worth it..
Yeah, the next tier up costs $100 more
*yawn* Happy End-Of-The-Weekend. Work is tomorrow and all I want to do is stay in bed and sleep.
Am I the only one yet to receive their reward? Thanks
Ale, check the newest update.

I like how we can say that now instead of having to detail everything.
Huh, guess I wasn't the only one with a busy day.
Morning Kittens. Only 7 days until we turn the clocks back one hour and enter a new month. I'm looking forward to getting an extra hour of sleep.
Good Morning Corps!
@Geist, not so fast! We've got Halloween first!
If you think that is bad BaKhan, I've been seeing Christmas merchandise since the middle of October. Now that is early. I'm grateful I haven't heard any Christmas music yet but that will change once Halloween is over with.
Looks like the Exploding Puppies campaign is a lock to be the first knock off that gets funded. Good luck to them and the backers.
@Geist, I think it gets worse, the less excited we are for Christmas. I doubt it was much different when we were kids, we were just more excited for it then.... Oh well, at least there will be some good christmas movies to help us out.
No, trust me, BaKhan, it's getting earlier and earlier. They finally hit a boundary of Thanksgiving, but they decided to advertise before advertising for Halloween and putting a shopping day right after Thanksgiving here to remind people that they should spend all their money now. I hate it absolutely. I love the holiday, but the commercialism is horrifying. There're no thanksgiving ads anymore, just straight from halloween to christmas.
@BaKhan: back in the day, they didn't start the Christmas stuff until after Thanksgiving. Nowadays, they start in the middle of October. I kinda get annoyed with that since I don't know anyone who starts buying Christmas decorations before Halloween.
@BaKhan: I don't mind what you call me. I've responded to some...interesting...names over the years. I even responded when someone called me George(working in a Boston Pizza kitchen at the time).
Also, good morning kittens.
Morning GM. I hope the day goes by quickly and peacefully for you.
@LZ: I've never had problems with Worcestershire sauce in the past. I think it's party in the way it's processed.
@Geist: We'll see. I got told last night that I'm supposed to be online(PS4) tonight by a certain time, because the guy who is unreliable at getting on in time for our weekly raiding wants to do it twice a week now....yet Monday's are the absolute WORST for me to be on by a specific time.
I always forget you guys wait till just about Christmas before you have thanksgiving. We have to do it earlier or no one would be thankfull.... ;)
With all the talk of Christmas stuff, and being reminded to spend your money right away(Black Friday really is stupid...), I'm glad my family just spends the day together playing board games, card games, watching movies, and getting the turkey ready to eat.
I could go for a nap right about now.
@BaKhan: Speaking of Saturday...what time should we be showing up?
@GM, whatever time works for you really. If you want to see me play, then probably by 9pm anyways. People tend to show up at all different times. If you're bored, come over early and I'll put you to work! ;)
Speaking of Thanksgiving, now I want some ham. The real kind, not the crap that the grocery stores sell in package slices.
Plus I need to get started cooking various soups and stews for the dead of winter season. If I get snowed in this year or in January, I expect to be prepared.
@Geist, so I tried a different glaze for my ham this year, I normally just do a honey mustard, but this time I added minced garlic, oh baby! That was some sweet ass ham!
You had me at "garlic" BaKhan. *makes a mental note to haunt BaKhan's house this holiday season*
@Geist, as I've said before, you're welcome anytime!
Mmm...garlic. Definitely underused everywhere. When I was working in the last restaurant, we used TONS of puree garlic and Sambal. Put that with roasted mushrooms(and here's a note - I HATE mushrooms for their texture) that have salt, pepper, coriander and fennel seed(pepper, coriander and fennel a ground together), and I will actually enjoy them.
Definitely underused everywhere
I couldn't agree with you more. I made my own salad dressing this morning with olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper and GARLIC. A little more than what the recipe called for but that is why I have a toothbrush and toothpaste in my desk at work.
The world can never have too much garlic. Dang it, now I'm hungry already!
GM, nothing can make me like mushrooms; I've tried.
`
So they're finally going to spray the ants now that it's their third time coming here and they realize it's not going to be fixed that easy. I really hope they're done for this time.
Also, you guys are really chatty this morning! Too bad I won't be around for most of today. That sucks for me.
@Zem: I'm waiting for files to start the payroll...so I might actually get out at a decent time(caught up on 99% of things I need/needed to do finally).
Well I for once have a busy day, so I won't be in here too much.
GM, glad to hear you don't have a problem with Worcestershire
Wor shister shister sauce! I can never say it right. It's more like wor *cough* ter sauce... ;)
Apparently, it's supposed to be pronounced Wor-che-sher. I always pronounce it Wor-Ches-ter-Shire.
In the US, we pronounce it "worst-er-sheer"
