Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-03T00:41:12-05:00
Lol.
What did you end up getting?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-03T00:44:32-05:00
A yard of Snickers bars (that's 18 regular-sized bars). I was surprised that nobody stole it. I was the first one out. Then I was the full-time dealer and game valies. Everyone loved my commentary.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T02:08:09-05:00
Commentary on poker?
That's actually an amazing gift! I really want that now! I'd definitely steal that. Did you tell them a $10 bill was in there or let them find out?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-03T02:23:56-05:00
Mine was the last one opened, so I told them to look inside as it was opened. I would have waited til the end otherwise.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T02:37:29-05:00
Haha, so nobody picked it because it was a lame jar of candy, but then it turned out to be amazing because it was pure money AND candy! The yard-long snickers would still be the best, but I'd use that $10 to get those snickers and have the candy as well. Because you don't gain enough weight over the holidays as it is.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T03:27:38-05:00
Sitting on a couch with my computer up on our large screen in the family room is cool and all, but did you know even sitting on a couch too long can make your butt hurt? Maybe it is time for bed. At least on the internet, I'm in good company. Everyone here is butthurt.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-03T12:16:28-05:00
I packaged it up, so they didn't even know it was a lame jar of candy. I think it was picked last because it was the smallest present.
Zack "KitKat" Rice 2016-01-03T13:07:35-05:00

On that list, LZ is finally getting close to unseating Potatten as #2, and I'm close behind, closing in on him.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-03T14:30:57-05:00
It's crazy how long it's taken for me to catch up to Dr P, considering hoe long it's been since he's been here.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T14:34:24-05:00
Yeah, where's he been? We need to go round up at gunpoint everyone who just randomly dropped off the face of the EK.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T15:39:17-05:00
Haha. Hundreds of comments on 9gag and only one has become one of the top on a post. Now, I make a post about how not all muslims are terrorists and I wish people knew that and how the Arab muslims I know are actually some of the kindest, most generous and hospitable people I know (and this is coming from a midwesterner), and in a few hours coming on 100 upvotes and probably 70 heated comments ranging from "Thank you for understanding!" to literal hate propaganda that perfectly mirrors ISIS and Taliban recruitment messages, but against them. Some even said that ISIS is actually what Islam teaches and they're just not afraid of judgement and follow the Quran to the letter! But this has to be my favorite!:
"we can all do a lot against terrorism.
1) STOP FUNDING TERRORISM: don't spend money al halal shops, or any shop owned by muslims.
2) Read the quran, so you are aware of the bullshit and the lies they are trying shove down your throat and you can debunk their bullshit lies. This also makes you aware of all the horror in their ideology and why isis behaves the way they do.
3) most importantly: NEVER trust a muslim. Teach your kids to avoid them, and shun them. Don't serve them in you store or whatever, and don't talk to them. Just give them a blank stare until they leave."
Now, replace Muslim with Jew and Koran with Torah and what do you have? Something that would have made Goebbels and Hitler proud! Seriously, that's literally exactly what happened in 1938-40.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T16:20:32-05:00
Huh, that was kind of long because of exposition and copy pasting an entire comment, but trust me, it's pretty funny, at least to me.
Also, correction: Koran is correct, but I like Quran better, and that's what he used. Also, Kosher for Halal.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-03T18:10:59-05:00
Thanks for the link Zem.
Also, if you comment once a minute for like 10 HOURS, you will catch LZ.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-03T18:49:45-05:00
Quran is also correct.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T19:03:45-05:00
What, that's all it'll take? I told you, though, I'm in it for the long game. I get about 100 closer to him every month or two still. Maybe I'll kick it up with the 10 hour challenge.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-03T23:56:10-05:00
Finally got around to watching the Sherlock New Years special. Great episode, great start to season 4! Can't wait till it actually airs a year from now! Stupid Cumberbatch becoming so famous and having so many other things to film. All I can say is Dr. Strange better be as amazing as I think it will.
Oh you stupid tables. Get out get out get OUT!!!!! We are all standing and staring and waiting for you to leeeaaaaavvvvee
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T00:31:06-05:00
I assume you mean the people AT the tables. Otherwise, you must've had enough wine to make even Geist giggly. But yeah, unless they're like us when we do that, a family all having a great time laughing and shouting happily, then I hate people like that. The people who sit there after the host starts cleaning up. Well, I guess I am that kind of person if I'm with a group like that, though I'm only part of the laughing, shouting group like once a year. Otherwise, slowly encroach the table with increasingly dark and horrible scowls until you look like the easter island heads in a horror movie.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T01:42:15-05:00

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T01:48:50-05:00
And staring at them maliciously whilst grumpily slamming down the check even though it's already there. Just pick it up, walk away, go in a circle, come back, and set it down again. Then go over to a distant table and sit with your feet up. Wait, are they still there after all this time? Hope not!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T08:22:10-05:00
Morning kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T09:24:07-05:00
Good Morning Kittens! Hope everyone had a good New Years celebration! Wishing you all the best this year, this is our year! Who's in for a Kitten Con? Lets make it happen people!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T09:46:33-05:00
Sign me up BaKhan! Didn't we all agree that we should hold it in Las Vegas?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T09:53:09-05:00
@Geist, Vegas would be a no go for me, my wife and I had a terrible time there. I understand if thats where the majority would like to have it though. I would like to recommend somewhere in western Canada, you guys could take advantage of our cheap dollar, and folks like GM and myself wouldn't lose our shirts in $ conversion...
Morning kittens. Nothing like coming in to updates on the computer, scans happening, VPs needing information, and the damned thing taking the last 15minutes JUST to open my email.
Oh, and can't forget the all important forgetting password, then typing in the EXACT answers for your security questions(have a screen shot from when I first set them) and still being told no. Then the account being locked. Now I need to call and get it reset. -.-
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T11:05:58-05:00
@BaKhan: How did you have a terrible time in Vegas? When I went in 20009, I had so much fun, I can't wait to go back.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T11:24:15-05:00
@Geist, my wife has issues with nudity and objectification of women (long story short, she was stalked and attacked, very badly). So.... Vegas is all about that, and there is almost no where to go where that wasn't an issue for her of some kind. Her issues, are my issues, as I have to deal with them. Overall, I know I would have a blast if I went with some friends, but there's no way I could do Vegas without her freaking out, and I don't want to lie to her, not my style. So even though I don't feel the same (women being objectified rather than making money off of dumb people) as her, it made for a very bad time for both of us.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T11:57:21-05:00
Ah, gotcha BaKhan. I remember when I was there, the guys who would pass out cards that had nearly naked women on them that advertised a personal "massage".
What can you do? Hollywood, the fashion industry, strip clubs, rap videos. All of these objectify women. I won't live long enough to see that go away.
Is that a cross between Nebraska and Oklahoma? As much as I love visiting the states, it will just be too expensive this year. $1 CAD = 0.72 USD after banking fees it will probably be at least ) 0.70 USD, I can't afford that hit. They only expect the Canadian dollar to recover around one cent this entire year so, I don't even think we're going to Disney this year. Which makes me very sad indeed.
I spent my Christmas gift on the deluxe version of the Disturbed iTunes download that song is on. I think I've listened to it 15+ times...just since yesterday.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T13:24:17-05:00
All of my Christmas money went to The Others
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T13:31:16-05:00
@GM, that was awesome! Quite possibly the best thing I've heard by them.
@LZ: I spent my money(aside from shipping, which ended up being just under $8 since I decided against getting dice packs) before the campaign ended. Same with Folklore. Now, it's just a matter of saving everything I can, not paying for anything that is not a necessity, and dropping my debt as much as possible this year.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T13:33:03-05:00
@LZ, the only thing I had left to pay for, for TO:7S was the shipping. $30, I could handle that.
@BaKhan: Did you check out the Folklore update? Those tiles look awesome.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T14:09:12-05:00
BaKhan, you realize prices change as well in the currency conversion?
GM: YES! Both, but especially Simon&Garfunkel! One of my all-time favorite groups! I like Disturbed alot as well, but I'll have to watch that later. Anyways, I've seen so many Simon & Garfunkel remakes, none of them even close to as good, that I'm kind of wary of listening to that, but I'll get to it when I have a chance.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T14:26:00-05:00
$1 CAD = 0.72 USD after banking fees
You think that is bad? Try $1 British pound to $.59 USD. That means my stalking Benedict Cumberbatch will have to wait until I win the lottery.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T14:27:00-05:00
And now I have "The Boxer" playing in my head.
and I really like Simon and Garfunkel.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T15:00:03-05:00
Prices change as well! You've never seen a book with something like "$10 USD, $12 CAD"?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T15:01:10-05:00
Zem, I actually like Disturbed's Sound of Silence more than S&G's version.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T15:05:04-05:00
I could only afford to pledge $1 for the Others (although, I did bump it up until all the SG's were reached, then I dropped it down again), so I had to pay all $250 of it last week.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T15:05:21-05:00
Okay, $265
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T15:06:58-05:00
I'm not entirely sure how to feel about that song. It was really, really well done and I loved it, but a part of my brain treats it like outright sacrilege. That's one of my all-time favorite songs, so a remake just feels like a ripoff to me no matter how great it is.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T15:54:26-05:00
@Zem, lets use your example. If I was in the states and wanted to buy that $10 book, it would cost me (at least) $13.88 CAD. My point stands. I have been down to the states a few times... ( a year for the last several years)
@Geist, 0.49GBP = 1 CAD
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T15:58:41-05:00
@Geist, 0.49GBP = 1 CAD
As Neo once said: "Whoa". There must be swarms of British folks lapping up the goods in your country. When I went to Vegas in 20009, I couldn't swing an exploding cat without hitting one of them.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T16:05:49-05:00
Geist is from the future! Are you allowed to tell us how my hot sauce does in the market, or when and where the first KittenCon is? Um, um, what else? Winning numbers for the next powerball?
@LZ: Probably isn't a typo, that's the second time she made reference to the year 20k9
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T16:32:15-05:00
That did not escape my notice.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T16:37:00-05:00
If Geist was from 20009, you think she would have gotten a better job and/or just been crazy rich... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T16:41:51-05:00
LZ, 20009 is WAY too far ahead to have any records of anything short of a world-changing hot sauce empire complete with army that conquered entire continents and lasted thousands of years to have cemented its place in ancient ancient ancient ancient ancient history. Sorry, but I don't think you're going to be that successful, unfortunately.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T16:44:57-05:00
If LZ gets an army, I want to be a General! Just sayin... ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T16:45:54-05:00
Well fine, if you want to be a Debbie Downer about things...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T16:47:45-05:00
Are you allowed to tell us how my hot sauce does in the market,
Your hot sauce becomes a hit when Beyonce is seen purchasing 10 bottles. It becomes the Xmas gift of the season with footage of people actually fighting for the last bottle on the shelf.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T16:48:46-05:00
Switching gears a little here: anyone here play Street Fighter IV Ultra?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T16:48:47-05:00
when and where the first KittenCon is?
2017, Hawaii. Elan's treat for all of us loyal KC members.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T16:49:23-05:00
Winning numbers for the next powerball?
Powerball doesn't exist in 20,009 as every has ESP and can easily guess the numbers.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T16:50:54-05:00
If Geist was from 20009, you think she would have gotten a better job and/or just been crazy rich... ;)
After Beyonce dies, her fans make her a god and I got sent back to this time as punishment for throwing paint on her holy statue.
So, it's 3pm, the first Monday back from holidays...and I am impatiently waiting for approvals....anyone want to come entertain me?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T17:00:46-05:00
*waves granny panties in the air*
Is that enough entertainment for you?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T17:02:44-05:00
Did KS eat my comment? I wanna make sure before I repeat it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T17:03:37-05:00
Yep. Your comment was eaten by the KS comment monster. Next time, offer it a cookie?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T17:04:26-05:00
Ok, will do.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T17:04:53-05:00
C is for comment, thats good enough for me... uh wut?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T17:05:38-05:00
Your hot sauce becomes a hit when Beyonce is seen purchasing 10 bottles. It becomes the Xmas gift of the season with footage of people actually fighting for the last bottle on the shelf.
YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
Eat that, Zem (AKA: Negative Nancy)!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T17:09:41-05:00
The cookies & rum idea worked for getting the comment through. Thanks, Geist!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T17:13:21-05:00
Aah! Too much entertainment!
Yeah, gift of the century still isn't probably big enough to make it into the annals of history from 18,000 years ago as anything more than a footnote even if it's life altering.
What kind of cookie works best to appease the KS comment monster?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T17:14:25-05:00
I'm about to do a Kessel run. Have a plan to bring it down to 11.3 parsecs, though it involves basically merging ships with an Imperial Star Destroyer. Anyone want to join? It means certain death!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T17:15:31-05:00
@LZ, you sir are going to need a monolith to commemorate your hot sauce, they'll still be seeing that in 18000 years... although they'll probably think it was for measuring seasons or the moon or something... ;)
@BaKhan: Or it was Beyoncé's...yeah, I'll stop there.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T17:23:16-05:00
Ozymandias has something to say about that. Though hot sauce is an empire I'd gladly welcome!
I would like to welcome our new hot sauce overlords!
`
Nevermind, plans were found, declared a traitor, going to live on a rock on an ocean planet for 20 years.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T17:26:16-05:00
Cookies & rum. That should be an ice cream flavor. Make it happen LZ. You're good at this sort of thing
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T17:27:36-05:00
Cookies and rum hot sauce ice cream... hmm...
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T17:46:37-05:00
That would make a delicious idd cream. I'll see what I can do
Maybe the cookies and rum...not sure about the hot sauce though.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-04T17:54:23-05:00
I'm thinking its too easy to just rum flavour the ice cream and then add cookie dough to it, you need to do a cookie dough, rum ripple! Just to kick it up a notch!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T18:02:40-05:00
Or cookie dough chocolate, because apparently I'm the only person in the world who thinks both chocolate and cookie dough are amazing and doesn't like having to have vanilla ice cream just for the cookie dough. You'd make billions! Trillions if you account for people other than me!
So, what Zem is saying is, he will support you for life if you just make chocolate cookie dough ice cream. And you would live comfortably with your multimillion dollar mansion.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T18:29:02-05:00
I better get on that, then, eh?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-04T18:49:44-05:00
@LZ: would that be a flavor in the KC restaurant that you and Creeper are going to run? ;-)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T18:51:46-05:00
So in addition to Head Hot Sauce Empire (HSE) Head of Things Related and/or Pertaining to the HHSE(HSE)HTRP..., I'll get a lifetime supply of chocolate cookie dough ice cream (for half my salar)?! Where, how many times, and in what's blood do I sign?!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-04T20:56:29-05:00
@Geist, yes
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T21:55:51-05:00
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ...please? I mean, I'm able to see grass now. That's not enough snow for january. Let's kick it up a notch. Let's have like a blizzard at least once a week or at the least like half an inch a day for the next several weeks.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T22:25:21-05:00
Still nothing on the Litter Box since Halloween. Speaking of which, Halloween pictures?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-04T22:26:23-05:00
Holy cow, Halloween was just that long ago? Really doesn't feel like long at all. I think I'm growing old. I might be the youngest person to have a mid-life crisis!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-05T04:29:00-05:00

And staring at them maliciously whilst grumpily slamming down the check even though it's already there. Just pick it up, walk away, go in a circle, come back, and set it down again. Then go over to a distant table and sit with your feet up. Wait, are they still there after all this time? Hope not!
Morning kittens!
Good Morning Kittens! Hope everyone had a good New Years celebration! Wishing you all the best this year, this is our year! Who's in for a Kitten Con? Lets make it happen people!
Sign me up BaKhan! Didn't we all agree that we should hold it in Las Vegas?
@Geist, Vegas would be a no go for me, my wife and I had a terrible time there. I understand if thats where the majority would like to have it though. I would like to recommend somewhere in western Canada, you guys could take advantage of our cheap dollar, and folks like GM and myself wouldn't lose our shirts in $ conversion...
Morning kittens. Nothing like coming in to updates on the computer, scans happening, VPs needing information, and the damned thing taking the last 15minutes JUST to open my email.
Oh, and can't forget the all important forgetting password, then typing in the EXACT answers for your security questions(have a screen shot from when I first set them) and still being told no. Then the account being locked. Now I need to call and get it reset. -.-
@BaKhan: How did you have a terrible time in Vegas? When I went in 20009, I had so much fun, I can't wait to go back.
@Geist, my wife has issues with nudity and objectification of women (long story short, she was stalked and attacked, very badly). So.... Vegas is all about that, and there is almost no where to go where that wasn't an issue for her of some kind. Her issues, are my issues, as I have to deal with them. Overall, I know I would have a blast if I went with some friends, but there's no way I could do Vegas without her freaking out, and I don't want to lie to her, not my style. So even though I don't feel the same (women being objectified rather than making money off of dumb people) as her, it made for a very bad time for both of us.
Ah, gotcha BaKhan. I remember when I was there, the guys who would pass out cards that had nearly naked women on them that advertised a personal "massage".
What can you do? Hollywood, the fashion industry, strip clubs, rap videos. All of these objectify women. I won't live long enough to see that go away.
@Geist: No one will live that long. Not even our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grand children will.
Have we figured out where Nebrahoma is? That's where it should be.
Nebra-whatnow? Never heard of it. o.o
Is that a cross between Nebraska and Oklahoma? As much as I love visiting the states, it will just be too expensive this year. $1 CAD = 0.72 USD after banking fees it will probably be at least ) 0.70 USD, I can't afford that hit. They only expect the Canadian dollar to recover around one cent this entire year so, I don't even think we're going to Disney this year. Which makes me very sad indeed.
Sounds like someone hasn't read enough Oatmeal...
Western Canada could work.
Anyone here a Disturbed fan? Or even Simon and Garfunkel? Check out this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
And then the original by Simon and Garfunkel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
I've been watching that obsessively for the past week or so. I love Disturbed, and I really like Simon and Garfunkel.
I spent my Christmas gift on the deluxe version of the Disturbed iTunes download that song is on. I think I've listened to it 15+ times...just since yesterday.
All of my Christmas money went to The Others
@GM, that was awesome! Quite possibly the best thing I've heard by them.
@LZ: I spent my money(aside from shipping, which ended up being just under $8 since I decided against getting dice packs) before the campaign ended. Same with Folklore. Now, it's just a matter of saving everything I can, not paying for anything that is not a necessity, and dropping my debt as much as possible this year.
@LZ, the only thing I had left to pay for, for TO:7S was the shipping. $30, I could handle that.
@BaKhan: Did you check out the Folklore update? Those tiles look awesome.
BaKhan, you realize prices change as well in the currency conversion?
GM: YES! Both, but especially Simon&Garfunkel! One of my all-time favorite groups! I like Disturbed alot as well, but I'll have to watch that later. Anyways, I've seen so many Simon & Garfunkel remakes, none of them even close to as good, that I'm kind of wary of listening to that, but I'll get to it when I have a chance.
$1 CAD = 0.72 USD after banking fees
You think that is bad? Try $1 British pound to $.59 USD. That means my stalking Benedict Cumberbatch will have to wait until I win the lottery.
And now I have "The Boxer" playing in my head.
and I really like Simon and Garfunkel.
Prices change as well! You've never seen a book with something like "$10 USD, $12 CAD"?
Zem, I actually like Disturbed's Sound of Silence more than S&G's version.
I could only afford to pledge $1 for the Others (although, I did bump it up until all the SG's were reached, then I dropped it down again), so I had to pay all $250 of it last week.
Okay, $265
I'm not entirely sure how to feel about that song. It was really, really well done and I loved it, but a part of my brain treats it like outright sacrilege. That's one of my all-time favorite songs, so a remake just feels like a ripoff to me no matter how great it is.
@Zem, lets use your example. If I was in the states and wanted to buy that $10 book, it would cost me (at least) $13.88 CAD. My point stands. I have been down to the states a few times... ( a year for the last several years)
@Geist, 0.49GBP = 1 CAD
@Geist, 0.49GBP = 1 CAD
As Neo once said: "Whoa". There must be swarms of British folks lapping up the goods in your country. When I went to Vegas in 20009, I couldn't swing an exploding cat without hitting one of them.
Geist is from the future! Are you allowed to tell us how my hot sauce does in the market, or when and where the first KittenCon is? Um, um, what else? Winning numbers for the next powerball?
@Geist: You must be a time traveler if you were in Vegas in 20,009.
Please, just don't tell me the extra 0 was just the typo it probably was, cause that would not be as much fun :-)
@LZ: Probably isn't a typo, that's the second time she made reference to the year 20k9
That did not escape my notice.
If Geist was from 20009, you think she would have gotten a better job and/or just been crazy rich... ;)
LZ, 20009 is WAY too far ahead to have any records of anything short of a world-changing hot sauce empire complete with army that conquered entire continents and lasted thousands of years to have cemented its place in ancient ancient ancient ancient ancient history. Sorry, but I don't think you're going to be that successful, unfortunately.
If LZ gets an army, I want to be a General! Just sayin... ;)
Well fine, if you want to be a Debbie Downer about things...
Are you allowed to tell us how my hot sauce does in the market,
Your hot sauce becomes a hit when Beyonce is seen purchasing 10 bottles. It becomes the Xmas gift of the season with footage of people actually fighting for the last bottle on the shelf.
Switching gears a little here: anyone here play Street Fighter IV Ultra?
when and where the first KittenCon is?
2017, Hawaii. Elan's treat for all of us loyal KC members.
Winning numbers for the next powerball?
Powerball doesn't exist in 20,009 as every has ESP and can easily guess the numbers.
If Geist was from 20009, you think she would have gotten a better job and/or just been crazy rich... ;)
After Beyonce dies, her fans make her a god and I got sent back to this time as punishment for throwing paint on her holy statue.
So, it's 3pm, the first Monday back from holidays...and I am impatiently waiting for approvals....anyone want to come entertain me?
*waves granny panties in the air*
Is that enough entertainment for you?
Did KS eat my comment? I wanna make sure before I repeat it.
Yep. Your comment was eaten by the KS comment monster. Next time, offer it a cookie?
Ok, will do.
C is for comment, thats good enough for me... uh wut?
Your hot sauce becomes a hit when Beyonce is seen purchasing 10 bottles. It becomes the Xmas gift of the season with footage of people actually fighting for the last bottle on the shelf.
YYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
Eat that, Zem (AKA: Negative Nancy)!
The cookies & rum idea worked for getting the comment through. Thanks, Geist!
Aah! Too much entertainment!
Yeah, gift of the century still isn't probably big enough to make it into the annals of history from 18,000 years ago as anything more than a footnote even if it's life altering.
What kind of cookie works best to appease the KS comment monster?
I'm about to do a Kessel run. Have a plan to bring it down to 11.3 parsecs, though it involves basically merging ships with an Imperial Star Destroyer. Anyone want to join? It means certain death!
@LZ, you sir are going to need a monolith to commemorate your hot sauce, they'll still be seeing that in 18000 years... although they'll probably think it was for measuring seasons or the moon or something... ;)
@BaKhan: Or it was Beyoncé's...yeah, I'll stop there.
Ozymandias has something to say about that. Though hot sauce is an empire I'd gladly welcome!
I would like to welcome our new hot sauce overlords!
`
Nevermind, plans were found, declared a traitor, going to live on a rock on an ocean planet for 20 years.
Cookies & rum. That should be an ice cream flavor. Make it happen LZ. You're good at this sort of thing
Cookies and rum hot sauce ice cream... hmm...
That would make a delicious idd cream. I'll see what I can do
Maybe the cookies and rum...not sure about the hot sauce though.
I'm thinking its too easy to just rum flavour the ice cream and then add cookie dough to it, you need to do a cookie dough, rum ripple! Just to kick it up a notch!
Or cookie dough chocolate, because apparently I'm the only person in the world who thinks both chocolate and cookie dough are amazing and doesn't like having to have vanilla ice cream just for the cookie dough. You'd make billions! Trillions if you account for people other than me!
So, what Zem is saying is, he will support you for life if you just make chocolate cookie dough ice cream. And you would live comfortably with your multimillion dollar mansion.
I better get on that, then, eh?
@LZ: would that be a flavor in the KC restaurant that you and Creeper are going to run? ;-)
So in addition to Head Hot Sauce Empire (HSE) Head of Things Related and/or Pertaining to the HHSE(HSE)HTRP..., I'll get a lifetime supply of chocolate cookie dough ice cream (for half my salar)?! Where, how many times, and in what's blood do I sign?!
@Geist, yes
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! ...please? I mean, I'm able to see grass now. That's not enough snow for january. Let's kick it up a notch. Let's have like a blizzard at least once a week or at the least like half an inch a day for the next several weeks.
Still nothing on the Litter Box since Halloween. Speaking of which, Halloween pictures?
Holy cow, Halloween was just that long ago? Really doesn't feel like long at all. I think I'm growing old. I might be the youngest person to have a mid-life crisis!
Morning kittens! Currently it's 19 degrees outside. Hard to believe that it was 70 degrees a week and a half ago.
