And I remember how days of the week mean nothing to a restaurant person...other than to making them tell people to shut up about it. I can honestly say, I'm happy that I made the change from that. I have more chance of being at family events than I did working in kitchens.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T16:19:40-05:00
Nevermind, it would seem that it's decided to rain. And then it'll get cold again. Whoopee, this happened 3 times before any solid snow came. Love driving on ice. Especially in my car!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T16:22:23-05:00
Creeper finished making a murderer? Did you just give Leo the Precious? That'd do it! Too much power! And he's immune to prosecution as he's too cute to punish! It's ingenious! How does ingenious mean something very similar to genius? It's like fat chance and slim chance.
And yes! He's getting huge. i hate it. STAY TINY! He had ring worm, so his fur was peeling off in patches as a kitten - another health problem. He got a few baths in some good shampoo and it was gone. Fur grew back very soft and full. He still loves to sleep on his back like that.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-07T16:59:47-05:00
Awww shucks, it wasn't like it was a boob conversation for the sake of talking about boobs... it was more of an art appreciation/critique thing...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T17:02:17-05:00
*sqeals* That sounds so cute! And I love the fact that he is a cuddler. Both of my former cats would cuddle with me whenever I would go to sleep at night. The purring puts you right to sleep.
Equal opportunity? You are free to join in the discussion whenever you like. It would be nice to have another female voice around here.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T17:05:17-05:00
Nothing wrong with boobs. I have them and give them a hug everyday even though they don't do anything but lay there. (Lazy good for nothings!)
@Creeper: Yeah, it was a preview for a shader being developed for a game I backed on here, and the picture they showed, at least for me, the girl looked lopsided in the chest area.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T17:17:00-05:00
Wait! I know how to get an answer!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T17:19:34-05:00
@Creator: What will it take to get Matt Inman to do the label art for my hot sauce?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T17:26:02-05:00
The weather can't decide whether it's freezing or not. It's either heavily raining, snowing in those big clumps that explode on impact, or none of the above. Tons of slush, and tonight there's going to be tons of ice. This is like the 8th or 9th time this winter that we've had freezing rain or melting snow that froze overnight. Tons of driving on ice, but only twice has it actually legitimately snowed.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T17:34:18-05:00
Holy crap! People need to be careful with the Reply All button!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T17:35:28-05:00
A lady just announced to the whole company that she's filing bankruptcy and can't afford her rent!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T17:46:02-05:00
@LZ: I can honestly say I've never made that mistake since I always make sure to check who I am sending my email to.
On a slow day I tend to get ~50 emails. On a busy day it can be upwards of 300.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T19:07:36-05:00
@LZ: has the lady said anything yet? Like "Whoops! "
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T19:19:04-05:00
She requested a retraction, but it had already been seen by who knows how many people.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T19:52:52-05:00
Creeper, Leo is totes adorbs!!!
And we have had wwwaaaayyyy worse discussions on here than boobs on a train.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T19:54:08-05:00
Ok. I have a question for everyone.
What is the ONE thing that you always buy the best of? No exceptions. It's either the best or not at all.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T20:02:52-05:00
@LZ: So it's the electronic equivalent of saying "Whoops! My bad!"
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T20:09:22-05:00
@Trinkets: Cream cheese. Anything other than the best is utterly inedible shite.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T20:27:38-05:00
Cream cheese. Good to know. I don't use much, but I'm take your word for it. Mine is toilet paper. Might as well use and paper if you are buying the cheap stuff.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T20:28:01-05:00
*sand paper
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T20:28:47-05:00
That was weird. Not even my computer knows why it just shut down unexpectedly!
I use email for class stuff all the time, but I usually only have to deal with like 10-20 per day.
I don't think I care that much about almost anything. I'm sure there's a few things I only get the best of, but most stuff I can deal with the second best even if the rest is horrible. Maybe computers? I really only want the best I can afford at the time. Maybe when I'm the richest on earth I'll make a quantum or chemical computer just to brag about it. And have a stadium screen as my monitor. PC master race here I come!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-07T20:29:50-05:00
Yes, TP is another one.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T21:22:37-05:00
@Trinkets: soap
I don't shower using the crap one would purchase in the grocery store. I usually pay about $4.00 to $5.00 per bar but my skin doesn't feel dry and I help support a small business
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T21:23:45-05:00
I would say beer but I have been known to drink Corona from time to time.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-07T21:26:37-05:00
As far as TP goes: my below region can't tell the difference so I usually buy the cheap stuff
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T22:34:12-05:00
Soap. That's interesting. I have never considered getting high end soap.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T22:34:37-05:00
LZ, you only get one.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-07T22:47:22-05:00
Trinkets, you've never seen Fight Club then?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T23:55:54-05:00
I don't talk about fought club
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-07T23:56:07-05:00
*fight
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-08T01:25:22-05:00
Well then why'd you mention it? Should've been more vague. Either way, now it's fought club.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T01:25:37-05:00
Why do I only get one? I can be pretentious about multiple things.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-08T03:05:52-05:00
You can be anything you want to, LZ.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T08:30:58-05:00
If you have dry skin like me, cheap soap won't do. The hand crafted stuff tends to have more moisturizers than Dial or Irish Spring soap.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T09:14:12-05:00
@LZ, In general, I would say all cooking ingredients. Never buy canned or frozen if there is fresh, meat, vegitables, fruits, etc. But specifically, if I could only pick one... ketchup! Heinz , there are no other kindz!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T09:21:35-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T09:24:13-05:00
@LZ, also, megalomania, is its own reward!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T10:18:59-05:00
Morning BaKhan. I have to agree with you there. Heinz is my go to ketchup, sugar be damned.
@Trinkets: I would say clothing. Not that I'm buying name brands, but I will pay for quality clothing rather than replacing items every few months when they wear out.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T10:31:50-05:00
I want more than megalomania; because I deserve more!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T10:49:09-05:00
I deserve a homemade Poptart
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T11:03:56-05:00
I deserve a creme brule donut (looking at you Geist!) ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T11:05:46-05:00
*Special Announcement*
No Pants Day is this coming Sunday. Emprov Everywhere has a listing of states and cities that are participating this year.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T11:22:39-05:00
BaKhan, when I visit Canada, I promise to bring a dozen of those donuts for you and GM to enjoy
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-08T11:32:10-05:00
Ouch. I slipped and fell on the ice yesterday. Now my arm, back, and neck are sore as H-E-double hockey sticks.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T11:38:20-05:00
@Geist, you'd better or we're (GM and I) are leaving you with the white hats at the airport! ;)
@Trinkets, hope you feel better soon! And on a secondary note, nice useage of H-E-double hockey sticks, are you trying to become and honorary Canadian? Last week you were using eh properly in a sentance too, iirc... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T11:46:51-05:00
@Trinkets: A couple of years ago I slipped on the ice and fell on my tail bone. Hurt like heck for a solid month.
@BaKhan: White hats? Is that like the Mounties but for the city area?
@Geist: I might have one of those doughnuts. I'm not a fan of crème brule as is, so I probably wouldn't have more than one.
@Trinkets: I almost fall at least 15 times a year. My cul-de-sac turns practically to ice every year during the melting and freezing that constantly happens. Last time I fell, I landed on my elbow and it went numb for a few hours, then hurt like a mother after.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:15:56-05:00
BaKhan, it was me.
"Lord Zombitten 4 days ago
I better get on that, then, eh?"
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:17:40-05:00
But I've watched a lot of Red Green and watched/listened to some Bob and Doug McKenzie, so I've become familiar with the proper use of eh
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:32:24-05:00
Okay, I listened to The Great White North album enough that I used to have the listener's portion of the "You Are Our Guest" segment memorized...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T12:33:30-05:00
@LZ/Trinkets, oops! My bad, eh?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:35:47-05:00
It's okay, eh?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T12:35:47-05:00
Is it lunch time yet?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T12:35:58-05:00
@Geist, no they're the greeters at the airport. Typically a bunch of grey hairs with nothing better to do. They wear white Stetson cowboy hats, as a tribute to Calgary's claim to fame, the Stampede (the biggest outdoor show on earth, blah blah).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T12:36:47-05:00
@Geist, almost... Whatcha having today?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-08T12:38:02-05:00
@LZ, thanks, eh? Sorry about the excessive "eh's" (the true mark of a Canadian is our compulsion to appolgize for pretty much everything, sorry I'm alive, eh?) ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:51:37-05:00
@BaKhan: right, unless the Canadian in question is Scott. He's a dick.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T12:55:48-05:00
@BaKhan: Bbq chicken thigh, steamed rice and cabbage.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-08T12:57:24-05:00
Greeters at the airport? That would make me feel like a queen!
Aw, I hope that I'm still active when I get in my 70's and all. I don't want to feel like I have to be greeter at Walmart because I'm bored with life.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T12:57:52-05:00
That's better than my lunch. I get pizza rolls and flamin hot Cheetos
@Geist: 99% of the time, people who are talented in the kitchen enjoy the processed food more often. Unless it could trigger their allergies, or they are REALLY eating healthy. Practically all cooks(from Chef down to a line cook) don't do any cooking when they get home because they spend more than enough time doing so at work.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-08T13:13:29-05:00
@Geist: I usually do eat home cooked lunches. We ran out of left overs, though.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-08T13:52:27-05:00
BaKhan , no problem. Lots of my family by Milwaukee say,"eh" all the time.
Lunch is pizza and salad.
Didn't you jack your leg up a little bit ago, GM?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-08T13:53:38-05:00
Also, + 1,000,000 for Red Green.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-08T13:56:08-05:00
+ 2,000,000 for Bob and Doug Mckenzie.
My fantasy hockey team is called the Hosers. My avatar for it is a pic of Bob and Doug when they were under arrest.
@Trinkets: Yeah, but that was stepping from a warm bus to slushy sidewalk. I think part of it is from all the years living where we do with the ice rink of a road we get, and working all those years in kitchens on greasy floors.
Days of the week mean nothing to a restaurant person. :(
Finished making a murderer.
And LZ - I need to order some sauce from you!
Wow - We're closer to 100,000 comments than i thought. We should try to get there by the 1 year anniversary.
We have until January 20th...hmmm
That gives us 13 days to get ~682 comments. I think it could be done.
And I remember how days of the week mean nothing to a restaurant person...other than to making them tell people to shut up about it. I can honestly say, I'm happy that I made the change from that. I have more chance of being at family events than I did working in kitchens.
Nevermind, it would seem that it's decided to rain. And then it'll get cold again. Whoopee, this happened 3 times before any solid snow came. Love driving on ice. Especially in my car!
Creeper finished making a murderer? Did you just give Leo the Precious? That'd do it! Too much power! And he's immune to prosecution as he's too cute to punish! It's ingenious! How does ingenious mean something very similar to genius? It's like fat chance and slim chance.
Haha... Leo does not know of the existence of the Precious. Although right now, the way he's snuggling- he is SO PRECIOUS.
Fortunately, I work Saturday brunch so I get off work just in time to catch the Chiefs game! Woohoo!
Look at little butt and how he's grown! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/fi4u1lyoxkek1k4/AAAOPgCPN-TZc0qVSZ8pF0UBa
Yes, I need to email the labelling companies...
Best not go for the belly rubs, it's a trap!
hehe. I rubbed leo's belly all the time as a kitten so he likes it. .... for the most part...
Good grief Creeper. Leo is growing like a weed and his fur looks so smooth now.
Really guys? we must have something better to discuss.
Trust me, the subject could be much worse. Like discussing who has burped the longest.
Speaking of labels, what do you guys suppose it will take to get The Oatmeal to do my label art?
@LZ: Probably a shipment of hot sauce a month. At the least.
@LZ: A promise to create a dish and name it after him? (Using his real name, not his internet name)
...worth it!
@Geist - I'd prefer burping discussions. That's an equal opportunity discussion.
And yes! He's getting huge. i hate it. STAY TINY! He had ring worm, so his fur was peeling off in patches as a kitten - another health problem. He got a few baths in some good shampoo and it was gone. Fur grew back very soft and full. He still loves to sleep on his back like that.

Wait! I know how to get an answer!
@Creator: What will it take to get Matt Inman to do the label art for my hot sauce?
@LZ- haaahaha. Nailed it.
@GM - Yeah, caught that. I can see how they looked weird.
And geist- I know! It was more of the "I saw a nice pair on the train today" *shoots a glare at GM*
No response yet! The creator clearly doesn't care about us!
@Creeper: Sorry...I been single too long. >.<

A lady just announced to the whole company that she's filing bankruptcy and can't afford her rent!
@LZ: I can honestly say I've never made that mistake since I always make sure to check who I am sending my email to.
@LZ: We had a branch admin send an email to the entire company resigning....the IT manager quickly went in and deleted the entire thing.
Yeah, me too. This is exactly why...
I think I'd rather have the whole company know that I was resigning than that I was going bankrupt
It was more in the way she worded it...kind of like she was overworked when she was one of the THREE admins at the division.
I see
I've never had that problem since I rarely even email.
Once you get into the corporate world, it becomes impossible to avoid email.
On a slow day I tend to get ~50 emails. On a busy day it can be upwards of 300.
@LZ: has the lady said anything yet? Like "Whoops! "
She requested a retraction, but it had already been seen by who knows how many people.

@Trinkets: Cream cheese. Anything other than the best is utterly inedible shite.

My lunch is probably going to be a burger from Fat Burger...or something else in the food court near it. Don't know yet.
I think we have Fat Burgers in the U.S. I know that name rings a bell.
I'm trying to leave the processed foods alone. Getting too old to enjoy a whole bag of Cheetos by myself.
For a guy who is a talented in the kitchen as you LZ, I'm surprised you don't walk into the office with a home made goodie Monday through Friday.
@Geist: 99% of the time, people who are talented in the kitchen enjoy the processed food more often. Unless it could trigger their allergies, or they are REALLY eating healthy.
