Yeah- you should see my arms and legs. I look like I walked through thorn bushes. He had a time out today. Had to lock him out of room becasue I couldn't eat my breakfast. He grabs on and doesn't let go. Also bites cheeks. Psycho kitty. (qu'est ce que) but he's still so cute. When he's finally tUckered out he just wants to curl up against me and hug my arm.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T12:19:07-05:00
@LZ and Doc, Congrats, and indeed Huzzah! I probably won't see mine till after Christmas, but hopefully before the new year as I'd like to get to painting... ;)
They missed something in my job description...."must be able to read minds"...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T12:20:47-05:00
@Creeper, heya! Hope you're doing well, I'd nip that biting problem now before he grows up too much, definitely a habit that will need to be broken. When he bites you, I'd bite him back, on the nape of his neck, like his mom would have done. That will teach him not to bite, without hurting him. Fur in the mouth though... ugh!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T12:21:43-05:00
@GM, you were supposed to have known that... (more mind reading...)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T12:30:08-05:00
*waves at Creeper* Is New York snowed in yet?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T12:32:26-05:00
@Trinkets: Nice! I would be able to freeze booze in that flask and have it nice and cold when I sneak it into the movie theater.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T12:33:07-05:00
The biting the scruff might work. On the other hand, I'm sure cats think we're big dumb hairless food bringers and belly rubbers.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T12:33:43-05:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T13:16:09-05:00
Before college, I had only slept past noon twice in my life. Now I do it practically every chance I get. Even if I would stay up till 4 or so, I'd wake up just slightly before noon. Now I go to sleep at 2-3 and I wake up any time between 11-1.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T13:20:31-05:00
You know, poutine sounds exactly like something america would love. Fries, cheese, and gravy. Why has that never caught on?! I only know one place near me that has it (really good too), and I'm pretty sure I've had it in Wisconsin. Other than that, only even been to Canadia once, so I haven't had much of a chance, though I love it.
There are Poutine flavoured Ruffles chips, they are a tad salty, but damn are they good....I might end up buying a bag for the weekend on my way home. >.>
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T13:54:40-05:00
Some of those are REALLY specific, like the author hated those things. Others are just things you should avoid no matter your age. In total: that's a stupid list.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T13:55:52-05:00
I'm gonna eat bacon no matter what. And that is that. Same with booze.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T14:11:33-05:00
Lol! That list was hilarious! Most of them, were, you don't say... Does anyone eating that stuff think its actually good for you? I would definitely watch out for the empty carbs before worring about bacon. The biggest single thing you can do to help with weight loss / weight maintenance is avoid white carbs, white flour, white rice, sugar, etc. If thats all you did to change your diet, it would go a long way. Try to limit your carbs to whole grains, whole wheat flour, brown rice, oats, etc., to once a day. I guarantee in a month you'll lose 10lbs. (depending on how much of the white stuff you were going through, of course). The other thing, cut soda out of your diet, I know a guy who lost 30lbs (all his excess weight) by doing that. More so than anything, a treat is a treat, a once in a while thing, its your regular diet that makes the biggest impact! So have bacon, just not at every meal, and have your drinks, in moderation, and you won't have any issues because of them. If you know you're coming up on an event that you normally have issues with, ie: Thanksgiving or a buffet, etc., a couple of days before hand, drastically reduce your calorie intake. This will help shrink your stomache a little and make it easier for you to stop yourself from overeating. Oh well, theres always going to be articles like those, I just wish they would put them into perspective for people, rather than just saying all of these things are bad, and you're bad if you eat them.
I tend to have a 500(of whatever the amount is) mL bottle of soda every two weeks. I drink water(I think my water bottle is at LEAST 450mL, and fill it 3-4 times a day) more often than not.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T14:29:45-05:00
have your drinks, in moderation,
Moderation is for sissies.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T14:31:15-05:00
@GM, you probably should have said 16 fluid ounces for our American friends... they probably won't get ml... ;) Makes me think of Super Troopers, "I want a litre cola" "Umm I don't think we have litre cola..."
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T14:44:39-05:00
@BaKhan: I like the ml measurement. Makes it seem like your are getting more then you really are.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T14:47:12-05:00
@Geist, lol! More than you really are... hehehe I remember I was in Florida a couple of years ago, when our dollars were at par and I had someone tell me "I like Canadian money, its almost like real money..." I almost died laughing!
@BaKhan: I remember traveling to Disneyland in 2005, and trading Canadian money, on par, with US money. We came out ahead, not very much, but it was still ahead.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T15:25:30-05:00
BaKhan, I've seen that and use it sometimes. And we don't know liters? Like how we don't drink out of 2-liter bottles and stuff like that? I probably know liters better than fl. oz. because those make no sense.
@Zem: Fluid Ounce is typically used when you are using weight in your measurements...1 fl oz is 99.999~% accurate to being the same as 1 oz. According to one Chef I worked for at least.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T15:32:14-05:00
Also, if anyone spoils Star Wars, I will find you, and I will sick Leonidas on you to bite you and claw your feet for all eternity. Though I don't know, but I don't think any of us are seeing it soon. I'll probably see it sometime in the coming weeks with my family.
Now off to my final final! Really easy, straight from notes, all multiple choice, and then to pack like I should have yesterday but didn't because it would've been pretty complicated since I still needed everything.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T15:45:06-05:00
The company gift exchange is in 20 minutes. I purchased a bottle of courvoisier to give to someone. Came in well under budget for the booze. Will be curious to see what I end up with.
Dariusz Pietrala 2015-12-17T16:40:39-05:00
I still don't have the game... How many years will I have to wait till I get a response?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T17:08:37-05:00
Even easier than I thought. Took less than half an hour!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T17:09:50-05:00
Dariusz, if you've asked, we've answered, though it may have been pushed way down since this morning: CHECK THE LAST UPDATE! The comments aren't the best place to get answers, but the updates are there for good reasons. The last update tells you how to get in contact with the team so they can help you.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T17:19:45-05:00
@Zem, he never asked, this was the only project he backed, and that was his only comment. So I guess my response is, with no comments (that we can see), indefinitely... ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T17:32:55-05:00
I will be going to the 1:10 pm CST showing on saturday. So along with Zem, no spoilers,please.
I probably won't be seeing it for at LEAST a week. I didn't buy advance tickets, and I'm not crazy(or stupid enough) to try and buy them at the theater. I would be forced to sit in the front row, and injure my neck trying to watch it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T17:35:36-05:00
Hmmm... I'm not going to see it until some time in the new year. How about if anyone is going to post a spoil, they preface it in bold. Something like:
STARWARS SPOILER
text text text
This way those of us who don't want it spoiled don't have too... anyone?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T17:38:30-05:00
BaKhan, I read too fast for that. By the time I realized what was happening, I'd be halfway through the comment and would likely have spoiled something with which I could unravel a major part of the plot no matter how much I tried to forget it. Happens all the time and I really hate my brain. I'll pressure my family into watching it probably between christmas and new years though.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T17:50:43-05:00
Ok, no episode 7 discussion here. Maybe over at the Litter Box?
@BaKhan: Not sure if you're checking this anymore today....but what's happening tomorrow?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T19:31:10-05:00
Happy day! I got a bottle of Jim Beam from the Xmas exchange. When peaches are in season next year, I will make some peach bourbon.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-17T21:00:00-05:00
Just got a call today asking if I want to take a 5 slot in amedd ....fuck yes I want a promotion to Sgt to one of the best places to work as a medic....
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T21:08:00-05:00
Congratulations, Doc !!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-17T21:25:57-05:00
I will miss my unit but it's to good to pass up....
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T23:36:38-05:00
Well I doubt your new unit will be entirely comprised of absolute assholes, so you're set there, and maybe you'll see your buddies again. Nice job with the promotion!
To update: working on al kinds of training for kitten. I've done the mama cat thing. I scruff his neck and hiss, and move him away. Doesn't phase him. I disengage and walk away. Doesn't work- though not always easy to do ten times at night. I distract with other toys- most effective. On days when I can give him the most attention, I'm not attacked as much. He usually just walks up and says "hey...hey..." With tapping my leg.
Also- don't plan on seeing Star Wars anytime soon.
Or a time out! Haha...when he gets really psychotic, I'll put him in the next room and shut the door. His little paw jutting underneath is so cute.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-18T00:41:20-05:00
He should grow out of it eventually, though I'd have fun with him while you can.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-18T00:42:36-05:00
Just meant he may not be as playful the older he gets. Usually cats get pretty calmed out by the time they're 1-2 though they still play some. Kittens love to play all the time, which is one reason they're so cute.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T07:32:21-05:00
Morning kittens & Happy Friday. I got a dentist appointment around noon and an important meeting with tech support. Should be a busy day for me.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-18T08:15:40-05:00
Good morning Geist. Ouch and double ouch.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T08:31:41-05:00
Trust me, I need to see the dentist. It's been over 10 years since my last appointment
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:16:38-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:17:03-05:00
@GM, Imma gonna text you!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:17:22-05:00
@Doc, congrats man! Sounds like a sweet gig!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:18:03-05:00
@Geist, Ouch! Every time I go to the dentist I think of Steve Martin singing that song from Little Shop of Horrors! Yikes!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T10:19:36-05:00
Morning BaKhan. I'm trying to remember if Jack Nicholson or Bill Murray was in the role originally.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:21:01-05:00
Oh and I had a customer give me a 26 of Cap'n Morgans dark rum, so it could be a rummy Christmas afterall! ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T10:22:22-05:00
Well Bill Murray played the masochistic patient didn't he?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-18T10:41:45-05:00
I've never had the dark rum. I do highly recommend the Captain Morgan Private Stock. So smooth. Just on the rocks. Probably good neat, I just prefer rocks. Man, I want a bottle.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T11:06:42-05:00
When it comes to rum, I like most of it except for white rum. For whatever reason it gives me gut rot. But a nice Cuban, Dominican, or Jamacian rum is hard to beat! When I was in the Dominican the resort I was staying at called their high test rum "gasolina" it was wonderful! It took me a day to find out about it though. The first day I think I had around 20 drinks and was barely buzzed. When I asked the bar tenders about it, they were like, oh, you want the gasolina! After trying it I agreed! So tasty, even straight up! Oh and the Mamajuana was particularly tasty as well! Shots shots shots!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-18T11:40:38-05:00
I leave you alone for one morning and you're already talking about rum at 10:40 am?! Good, I'd be worried if you weren't. It is worrying that Geist didn't bring it up first, though.
Yay, my older brother is finally officially graduating college (though staying another semester yet after that). Party! But no food until then. And not much of a breakfast to go off of.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T12:55:53-05:00
Back from the dentist. The bad news is that there is lots of work to be done on my mouth. The good news is that it isn't as bad as I thought it would be considering that I'd not seen a dentist in 20 years and I eat plenty of sweets and never floss. If I had waited another 10 years, I'd start losing teeth. Now I have a chance to save my mouth.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T12:56:15-05:00
Wait, you guys are talking about booze without me here? *huffs*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-18T12:57:53-05:00
@Geist, well it isn't a conversation, unless you join us... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T13:09:44-05:00
I was getting a pointy thing shoved into my mouth at the time. And no, it wasn't the pleasant kind of pointy thing.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-18T13:27:48-05:00
Oh sure, I go out for lunch with a customer and you guys talk about bacon without me? *huffs* ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-18T16:46:34-05:00
Sorry. Won't happen again.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-18T18:17:06-05:00
Trinkets made me do it!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-18T18:50:03-05:00
Muhahahahaha.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-18T19:29:45-05:00
I just waited 4-5 hours to hear 2 words, my brother's name. So glad he graduated in winter! I think I'll graduate after the summer semester when nobody goes.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-18T19:31:02-05:00
I go to a graduation and you talk about pointy bacon without me?! *huffs*
Pointy candy canes maybe?
I know this is late - but last thanksgiving we tried to make a bacon whiskey. Saved all that bacon fat from cooking strained it, etc. followed all the directions, had it resting a few hours, and out of nowhere, the bottle shattered. Just.. exploded. It makes ZERO logical sense. It was really really odd. No more bacon whiskey.
Today I went to the Meow Parlour (cat cafe) finally! Roomie and I walked past adn asked if they'd take a walk in! We got to sit among sooo many pretty - albeit - sleepy cats. I looked around at the books and games... guess what was there? Exploding kittens! And the cards seemed quite a bit used, which made me very happy. Once I took a few pics, and opened the "meow" box... i set it down and saw some guys run over and get it to play. Woo hoO!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-19T01:02:54-05:00
That's awesome, Creeper! Next time I'm there, I'll have to look it up. I've heard of that place. There's a book shop here that has 2 big, fluffy, cuddly kitties. One is always in the window keeping watch or sleeping while the other is either in the window displays or around the shop checking out the people. I haven't been there in awhile. But of course EK was there! And of course it was well played! What'd you expect?!
It made me happy. There were other games there, and I started scanning the shelves like "where is it? It has to be here!!" And bam. You can see it on the kitten Corps Twitter page. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-19T03:09:00-05:00
Wow, cooked something in the microwave for 2:30, and when I brought it out, it instantly seared my middle fingertip. If I take it off of the ice pack for literally one or two seconds, I'm in extreme agony. Thankfully it goes away nearly instantly, but now I don't even feel cold from an ice pack or water, just not burning, which is good as well. This will make sleeping very interesting in a way I wish I didn't have to endure.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-19T03:11:37-05:00
right ring fingertip, not middle. Still an inconvenience, but not a finger I use for everything. Man, even to type, it's like someone holding a lighter to my finger. I've cooked things for 6-10 minutes and they weren't nearly that hot! I'm starting to see it's all one big blister, so a significant second-degree burn! This is so weird!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T08:23:16-05:00
Exploding bacon whiskey ?!!?!??
That's awesome. I'm sure it was messy,but awesome.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T08:41:07-05:00
5 - 1/2 hours until Episode VII.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T10:17:50-05:00
I have fully stayed away from Twitter, Facebook, and other websites since Episode VII was released. Wow. It's not easy. I have to fight against the urge to hit those icons and check up on everybody. Less than 4 hours to go.
I hope I can make it!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T10:20:00-05:00
Sucks about the finger, Zem.
Shouldn't affect you much. Unless you have plans for bowling.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-19T11:01:13-05:00
Zombicide BP is on the truck for delivery!!!!!!!! All the yes!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T11:47:52-05:00
Great news, Doc. My buddy should be getting his today as well.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T11:50:26-05:00
Bad news is, I only have 2 clans of Blood Rage painted and 4 clans to go. Z:BP will have to wait to be painted. And them next spring, Conan by Monolith and the 350+ figures and terrain to paint for that. Maybe I need to quit my job,lol.
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-19T12:08:33-05:00
I have not got into painting yet.....
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-19T12:09:22-05:00
I will probably start with Zbp when I do....but will need to put a bit of money into paints and such and don't know were to start yet lol
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T12:40:30-05:00
Doc, don't buy anything until I can work up which youtube videos to watch first, and I can put together the info I learned the hard way.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T12:42:27-05:00
Especially when starting out, top end stuff can be a waste of money. I am in no means a master. But I do a pretty good job. I'll see if any of mine are on BGG.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-19T12:56:30-05:00
Yeah- you should see my arms and legs. I look like I walked through thorn bushes. He had a time out today. Had to lock him out of room becasue I couldn't eat my breakfast. He grabs on and doesn't let go. Also bites cheeks. Psycho kitty. (qu'est ce que) but he's still so cute. When he's finally tUckered out he just wants to curl up against me and hug my arm.

@Creeper, heya! Hope you're doing well, I'd nip that biting problem now before he grows up too much, definitely a habit that will need to be broken. When he bites you, I'd bite him back, on the nape of his neck, like his mom would have done. That will teach him not to bite, without hurting him. Fur in the mouth though... ugh!
@GM, you were supposed to have known that... (more mind reading...)
*waves at Creeper* Is New York snowed in yet?
@Trinkets: Nice! I would be able to freeze booze in that flask and have it nice and cold when I sneak it into the movie theater.
The biting the scruff might work. On the other hand, I'm sure cats think we're big dumb hairless food bringers and belly rubbers.
Margaritas on the go!
With the exception of Landmark theaters or any independent movie house (do those even exist any more?) I don't purchase food or drink from the movie chains. Too pricey to spend on a movie that might suck.

BaKhan, I've seen that and use it sometimes. And we don't know liters? Like how we don't drink out of 2-liter bottles and stuff like that? I probably know liters better than fl. oz. because those make no sense.
@Zem: Fluid Ounce is typically used when you are using weight in your measurements...1 fl oz is 99.999~% accurate to being the same as 1 oz. According to one Chef I worked for at least.
Also, if anyone spoils Star Wars, I will find you, and I will sick Leonidas on you to bite you and claw your feet for all eternity. Though I don't know, but I don't think any of us are seeing it soon. I'll probably see it sometime in the coming weeks with my family.
Now off to my final final! Really easy, straight from notes, all multiple choice, and then to pack like I should have yesterday but didn't because it would've been pretty complicated since I still needed everything.
The company gift exchange is in 20 minutes. I purchased a bottle of courvoisier to give to someone. Came in well under budget for the booze. Will be curious to see what I end up with.
I still don't have the game... How many years will I have to wait till I get a response?
Even easier than I thought. Took less than half an hour!
Dariusz, if you've asked, we've answered, though it may have been pushed way down since this morning: CHECK THE LAST UPDATE! The comments aren't the best place to get answers, but the updates are there for good reasons. The last update tells you how to get in contact with the team so they can help you.
@Zem, he never asked, this was the only project he backed, and that was his only comment. So I guess my response is, with no comments (that we can see), indefinitely... ;)
I will be going to the 1:10 pm CST showing on saturday. So along with Zem, no spoilers,please.
I probably won't be seeing it for at LEAST a week. I didn't buy advance tickets, and I'm not crazy(or stupid enough) to try and buy them at the theater. I would be forced to sit in the front row, and injure my neck trying to watch it.
Hmmm... I'm not going to see it until some time in the new year. How about if anyone is going to post a spoil, they preface it in bold. Something like:
STARWARS SPOILER
text text text
This way those of us who don't want it spoiled don't have too... anyone?
BaKhan, I read too fast for that. By the time I realized what was happening, I'd be halfway through the comment and would likely have spoiled something with which I could unravel a major part of the plot no matter how much I tried to forget it. Happens all the time and I really hate my brain. I'll pressure my family into watching it probably between christmas and new years though.
Ok, no episode 7 discussion here. Maybe over at the Litter Box?
This day went from being awesome as I'm off tomorrow, to %!Y^*(%!%&@(%^&(GHT$(#&T(#$ really fast. >.<
Yippee, now for weeks of food, family, celebration, and time for nothing but sitting down and playing games!
@BaKhan: Not sure if you're checking this anymore today....but what's happening tomorrow?
Happy day! I got a bottle of Jim Beam from the Xmas exchange. When peaches are in season next year, I will make some peach bourbon.
Just got a call today asking if I want to take a 5 slot in amedd ....fuck yes I want a promotion to Sgt to one of the best places to work as a medic....
Congratulations, Doc !!
I will miss my unit but it's to good to pass up....
Well I doubt your new unit will be entirely comprised of absolute assholes, so you're set there, and maybe you'll see your buddies again. Nice job with the promotion!
To update: working on al kinds of training for kitten. I've done the mama cat thing. I scruff his neck and hiss, and move him away. Doesn't phase him. I disengage and walk away. Doesn't work- though not always easy to do ten times at night. I distract with other toys- most effective. On days when I can give him the most attention, I'm not attacked as much. He usually just walks up and says "hey...hey..." With tapping my leg.
Also- don't plan on seeing Star Wars anytime soon.
Also- baking a lot.
Or a time out! Haha...when he gets really psychotic, I'll put him in the next room and shut the door. His little paw jutting underneath is so cute.
He should grow out of it eventually, though I'd have fun with him while you can.
Just meant he may not be as playful the older he gets. Usually cats get pretty calmed out by the time they're 1-2 though they still play some. Kittens love to play all the time, which is one reason they're so cute.
Morning kittens & Happy Friday. I got a dentist appointment around noon and an important meeting with tech support. Should be a busy day for me.
Good morning Geist. Ouch and double ouch.
Trust me, I need to see the dentist. It's been over 10 years since my last appointment
Good Morning Kittens!
@GM, Imma gonna text you!
@Doc, congrats man! Sounds like a sweet gig!
@Geist, Ouch! Every time I go to the dentist I think of Steve Martin singing that song from Little Shop of Horrors! Yikes!
Morning BaKhan. I'm trying to remember if Jack Nicholson or Bill Murray was in the role originally.
Oh and I had a customer give me a 26 of Cap'n Morgans dark rum, so it could be a rummy Christmas afterall! ;)
Well Bill Murray played the masochistic patient didn't he?
I've never had the dark rum. I do highly recommend the Captain Morgan Private Stock. So smooth. Just on the rocks. Probably good neat, I just prefer rocks. Man, I want a bottle.
When it comes to rum, I like most of it except for white rum. For whatever reason it gives me gut rot. But a nice Cuban, Dominican, or Jamacian rum is hard to beat! When I was in the Dominican the resort I was staying at called their high test rum "gasolina" it was wonderful! It took me a day to find out about it though. The first day I think I had around 20 drinks and was barely buzzed. When I asked the bar tenders about it, they were like, oh, you want the gasolina! After trying it I agreed! So tasty, even straight up! Oh and the Mamajuana was particularly tasty as well! Shots shots shots!
I leave you alone for one morning and you're already talking about rum at 10:40 am?! Good, I'd be worried if you weren't. It is worrying that Geist didn't bring it up first, though.
Yay, my older brother is finally officially graduating college (though staying another semester yet after that). Party! But no food until then. And not much of a breakfast to go off of.
Back from the dentist. The bad news is that there is lots of work to be done on my mouth. The good news is that it isn't as bad as I thought it would be considering that I'd not seen a dentist in 20 years and I eat plenty of sweets and never floss. If I had waited another 10 years, I'd start losing teeth. Now I have a chance to save my mouth.
Wait, you guys are talking about booze without me here? *huffs*
@Geist, well it isn't a conversation, unless you join us... ;)
I was getting a pointy thing shoved into my mouth at the time. And no, it wasn't the pleasant kind of pointy thing.
Pointy bacon?
Morning kittens.
I prefer Bacardii Oak Heart. It's a very nice rum. Or Krakken rum, that one is amazing as well.
I like rum mixed with fruit juice.
@Trinkets: What kind of bacon do you eat that is pointy?
Maybe the bacon gets pointy on one end when it cooks?
Maybe french bacon?
One of my favorite songs.
https://youtu.be/0pyuqJxBzac
Oh sure, I go out for lunch with a customer and you guys talk about bacon without me? *huffs* ;)
Sorry. Won't happen again.
Trinkets made me do it!
Muhahahahaha.
I just waited 4-5 hours to hear 2 words, my brother's name. So glad he graduated in winter! I think I'll graduate after the summer semester when nobody goes.
I go to a graduation and you talk about pointy bacon without me?! *huffs*
Pointy candy canes maybe?
I know this is late - but last thanksgiving we tried to make a bacon whiskey. Saved all that bacon fat from cooking strained it, etc. followed all the directions, had it resting a few hours, and out of nowhere, the bottle shattered. Just.. exploded. It makes ZERO logical sense. It was really really odd. No more bacon whiskey.
Today I went to the Meow Parlour (cat cafe) finally! Roomie and I walked past adn asked if they'd take a walk in! We got to sit among sooo many pretty - albeit - sleepy cats. I looked around at the books and games... guess what was there? Exploding kittens! And the cards seemed quite a bit used, which made me very happy. Once I took a few pics, and opened the "meow" box... i set it down and saw some guys run over and get it to play. Woo hoO!
That's awesome, Creeper! Next time I'm there, I'll have to look it up. I've heard of that place. There's a book shop here that has 2 big, fluffy, cuddly kitties. One is always in the window keeping watch or sleeping while the other is either in the window displays or around the shop checking out the people. I haven't been there in awhile. But of course EK was there! And of course it was well played! What'd you expect?!
It made me happy. There were other games there, and I started scanning the shelves like "where is it? It has to be here!!" And bam. You can see it on the kitten Corps Twitter page. :)
Wow, cooked something in the microwave for 2:30, and when I brought it out, it instantly seared my middle fingertip. If I take it off of the ice pack for literally one or two seconds, I'm in extreme agony. Thankfully it goes away nearly instantly, but now I don't even feel cold from an ice pack or water, just not burning, which is good as well. This will make sleeping very interesting in a way I wish I didn't have to endure.
right ring fingertip, not middle. Still an inconvenience, but not a finger I use for everything. Man, even to type, it's like someone holding a lighter to my finger. I've cooked things for 6-10 minutes and they weren't nearly that hot! I'm starting to see it's all one big blister, so a significant second-degree burn! This is so weird!
Exploding bacon whiskey ?!!?!??
That's awesome. I'm sure it was messy,but awesome.
5 - 1/2 hours until Episode VII.
I have fully stayed away from Twitter, Facebook, and other websites since Episode VII was released. Wow. It's not easy. I have to fight against the urge to hit those icons and check up on everybody. Less than 4 hours to go.
I hope I can make it!
Sucks about the finger, Zem.
Shouldn't affect you much. Unless you have plans for bowling.
Zombicide BP is on the truck for delivery!!!!!!!! All the yes!
Great news, Doc. My buddy should be getting his today as well.
Bad news is, I only have 2 clans of Blood Rage painted and 4 clans to go. Z:BP will have to wait to be painted. And them next spring, Conan by Monolith and the 350+ figures and terrain to paint for that. Maybe I need to quit my job,lol.
I have not got into painting yet.....
I will probably start with Zbp when I do....but will need to put a bit of money into paints and such and don't know were to start yet lol
Doc, don't buy anything until I can work up which youtube videos to watch first, and I can put together the info I learned the hard way.
Especially when starting out, top end stuff can be a waste of money. I am in no means a master. But I do a pretty good job. I'll see if any of mine are on BGG.

Here's the Ram Clan from Blood Rage. I wanted more of a 'dirty' look, so I skipped the highlighting after the wash was applied.
Congratulations on all of your good news Doc!
Howdy, Geist.
Off to have lunch, then finally see Episode VII.
