Would it be EU friendly and come with sleeves?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T17:06:13-05:00
Ok. Someone must have said trinkets 3 times in a row.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T17:06:31-05:00
Ambidextrous flannel sleeves :-D
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T17:10:02-05:00
I still fondly remember when I was using EU friendly as my nick name.... good times! ;) I think we would need a s&s version as well... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T17:41:43-05:00
A phone case that's a small flask? Or a flask that holds your phone? This is a great market!
It really smells like someone's frying bell peppers and onions right now. I love having the window open and smelling the kitchen in the sorority next door! Every day around this time it smells great. However, now I'm hungry. Dang it!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-14T17:43:53-05:00
@Zem, we were refering originally to a flask that looks like a smart phone I found for Geist. Now we're talking about a miniture version for the phone itself, as many phones on here seem to have drinking problems... ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T18:08:04-05:00
Peppers and onions?!?!?!?!
DAMMIT, now I'm hungry!!!!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T18:10:07-05:00
Who said Eldritch, BaKhan?
We played last sunday. My buddy got the last expansion(under the pyramids I think) for Christmas. So we put everything together and started over our pursuit to beat all of the GOO's.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T18:22:55-05:00
BaKhan, a few rambling questions:
1) if you have any/all expansions, do you keep those cards seperate to only use when those expansion GOO's or characters are played? Or have you shuffled everything together.
2) when you pick chatacters, do you random it, pick your faves, or go through and pick the investigators most likely to help?
3) which GOO's have given you the most fits?
4) how many investigators do you usually have per play? It's usually 3 of us that play. We've found that the odd number of investigators is her than an even number. We occasionally will pick 2 investigators per player to remedy that.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T18:34:25-05:00
I need a math guru.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-14T18:36:44-05:00
Whatcha got?
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T18:40:48-05:00
I'm supposed to look at our actual sample volumes and use the run times for each of the tests/panels run compared to the maximum sample capacity of my chemistry analyzer to figure out the actual maximum daily sample throughput. I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
You guys. If you live near Costco- there is a blanket there- $17.59, and it's queen sized and it is the softest most glorious Thing and I felt a little guilty buying it becasue you know. I DO NOT FEEL GULTY IT IS WONDERFUL!
I'm pretty sure it's EU friendly. Leo, however, does not care. He usually sleeps at my feet. He's sleeping on rug at edge of blanket. WHY DOESNT HE LIKE THIS?.... Why am I yelling so much.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-14T19:25:14-05:00
@Creeper: I am surprised Leo doesn't take over your pillow
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T19:25:23-05:00
LZ, is it really called a chemistry analyzer? Because that just sounds like a funny nickname or something from a poorly made video game.
He sleeps next to everything. Next to my head, feet, legs. The only time he sleeps on me is if I pick him up when he's sleeping (which he allows) then he'll curl up on me. It's quite sweet.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T20:49:05-05:00
@Zem: Yes. It's a Siemens Dimension EXL with LM clinical chemistry analyzer.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T21:06:04-05:00
Creeper, I already want a new kitten, stop making me want one more!
`
LZ, that's really weird. I guess there's a reason there aren't many chemistry poets, huh? ;)
How do you even analyze chemistry? I thought it was like a colloquial nickname for a GC or NMR. I'm going to name all the machines like that now! "This is the air breaker-downer, and here at the end, the separator-by-weight! And if you really need to know what it is, put it in the magneto-analyzer!"
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-14T21:15:15-05:00
It's the chemistry analyzer because it's what analyzes a person's blood chemistry. It uses a variety of methods, including colorimetrics, photometry, and EIA, among others.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-14T21:28:08-05:00
AAaah, see, you didn't happen to mention it was composite and analyzed something already named chemistry. Not that you would have even felt compelled to. I'm still going to call stuff that, though! I'll be the first poetic chemist this side of Djerassi! (yes, I actually googled chemist poets. That's something you don't wake up and think about doing today)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T05:02:46-05:00
Friday. Finally. I've had enough of this week
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T08:29:08-05:00
TGIFFF.
Good morning, Geist.
Agreed. This week can suck it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T09:12:08-05:00
With the way 2016 is going, the whole year can suck it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T09:58:36-05:00
Yay! MLK day off on monday! Though having monday off is nothing. Can we please shoot tuesday down? Maybe have the blizzard of the century or something? I really don't like my tuesdays.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T09:58:53-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T10:02:46-05:00
Top 'o the mornin'. Such an easy day today, but still 3 hours. At least you guys can be on here while you're doing stuff. When I go is the only time I'm not.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T10:02:55-05:00
Morning BaKhan
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T10:05:32-05:00
@Zem, and the rest o' the day to yourself! ;)
@Geist, good morning! Remember to have perspective, maybe 2016 is getting all its sh*t out of the way at the start and then it will be all good from there? There's lots to feel sad about, lots to be worried about, and yet, lots to be thankful for as well! I'm thankful for all of you guys!
@BaKhan: Now, if it would only take the people everyone WANTS it to take, then we would be set for a good year. Leave us the good entertainers, take the ones that are on reality TV, and take all those demented psychos that like terrorizing people.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T10:20:40-05:00
Someone, at a different company, received packages CLEARLY addressed to our company, with one of the admins names on it, and signed for it(FedEx can go suck it!). And, to top it off....it's the payroll. So there are checks, check stubs, and summaries all in the nice little package.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T10:45:02-05:00
@GM, sounds like someone turned the suck knob up to 10! ;) Hmmm whats a calming thing to say, this too shall pass (and if it doesn't, kiss that emmeffer upside the head with and aluminum baseball bat!).
I'll just buy a bottle of scotch, or brandy, and enjoy a few nips tonight. Maybe treat myself to dinner...since it is payday.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T10:49:22-05:00
You know what I've been finding a good relaxation tool is painting! I've really been enjoying it, to the detriment of my house work (sadly, sorta). I've now got 4 of the 6 heros for Z:BP painted up! Oh, and we're going to Starwars tomorrow! Imax 3D in the "D" zone, tilting rumble seats anyone? Whoo hoo!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T11:00:23-05:00
Scotch OR brandy? Why not both? Have I taught you nothing?
Update on the missing payroll stuff...there is only one paper check in there(and it's for someone who resigned), so it's not as bad as I thought as everyone else is on direct deposit(which I love because then there is no missing checks ever).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T11:37:14-05:00
*peeks in* Ooh, I have enough time to come back! Friday is awesome! Though I miss last year when I had only one class on it at 10: or 11:30 so I could sleep in.
`
That's a good turn of events, GM!
Maybe this year will be like that. Horrible news in the beginning followed by a good 'ol plot twist and a happy "the end". Wait, no, it's an election year. Damn.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T12:34:32-05:00
I think my Clinical Chemistry professor told us how to do what I need to do. I sent him an email to ask if he could help me remember.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T12:50:36-05:00
Nope...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T13:23:53-05:00
27 sweet 27! It's beautiful outside! Nice and cold with a pleasant breeze. It's just a little too strong of a breeze, though. It kept blowing my jacket off to the sides since I didn't have it zipped, and that got annoying, but other than that, it's perfect here today. Thanks to whoever ended up accepting my trade.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T13:26:19-05:00
Not even your black belt in google-fu can help you? That's when you know it's serious!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T13:48:43-05:00
Nope. There just isn't a standard method for calculating the maximum throughput of an analyzer that performs a wide variety of assays.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T13:58:36-05:00
So you just have to wing it and have it done before you go home or whenever that deadline was? That sounds delightful.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T14:02:47-05:00
I contacted the manufacturer yesterday to see if they can help
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T14:20:52-05:00
I have a lovely bunch of coconuts
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T14:26:51-05:00
That's... nice to know. Got any big ones? Like, as big as your head?
Kristen Demeter 2016-01-15T14:27:30-05:00
....checked back in on a whim.... I'm half surprised and half not surprised at all to see that the comments are still growing here...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T14:35:03-05:00
We are a friendly (and bored at work) bunch Kristen
@BaKhan: I wish. We need to start moving furniture. We are getting our whole main floor redone with hardwood everywhere except the bathroom and laundry room, which will be tile. We're also getting renovations done in both upstairs bathrooms, so we all(4 of us) need to share the basement bathroom until those are done.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T14:58:27-05:00
@GM, good times! XP Well if you need an escape, I'm doing some painting on Sunday and lots of extra zombies that could use some painting as well... ;)
I'll probably end up at a movie at some point this weekend. And I know we won't be moving it all today, since we don't even know when the renovations will be happening(meeting on Monday to figure it out). We just want to get a bit of a head start.
Also, I might back out of Guards of Atlantis. I do like the minis...but not sure if I can justify the amount.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T15:09:46-05:00
@GM, I'm hoping for some sg's to flesh out the base pledge, but at the rate its going now, I'm not even sure its going to fund at all, so I'm still holding out, if it gets the backing point, but still not enough value for me, I'll pull it at that time. Kinda feel bad for them though...
They are trying, and it seems like a decent idea. But just the dollar value($74 EB + $25-30 shipping) doesn't really sit with me all that well. You're only getting 18 miniatures, ~150-200 cards, and then however many tokens + dice. Just doesn't work out to be a good investment, especially given the dollar right now.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T15:15:39-05:00
End up at a movie? The Revenant sounds awesome. Even though I know it's not going to be anything like the real story, though that was a hell of a story.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T15:30:26-05:00
Revenant looks good. Will need to see that one.
The boss bought me lunch today! !!
And wanted to sit around and talk. So I get a paid 2 hour lunch to boot. He wanted to know the "dirt" going on with everyone else. I told him that everyone is good except my delivery guy and one worker (who the boss almost fired on Monday). Kind of felt like I was being put in the middle of where I don't want to be. So I told him stuff that he should have already known or wasn't surprised to hear. Boss is happy I'm talking and the guys shouldn't be mad because I didn't throw anyone under the bus.
Walking a tight rope is exhilarating.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T15:36:49-05:00
Grizzly Adams passed away.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T15:52:15-05:00
Like 150 years ago. News travels slow, huh?
Ah, looked it up. Now we've got the deaths of two grizzly adams on our hands. Can people just please stop dying?! At least Robin Williams had the good taste to go on his own, though I bet if he hadn't done it himself, he'd've died this month too.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T15:52:57-05:00
@Trinkets: At this rate, all of the good stars will be gone by March. Are we sure this isn't the apocalypse?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T15:54:51-05:00
@Trinkets: Your boss asked you that? Why would he put in in such a position in the first place? That makes it seem like the only reason he bought you lunch loosen you up to squeal on other workers, instead of rewarding you for a job well done.
Good job on playing it cool though. I try to do that when I feel like someone is fishing for info. I keep it general or just comment on common knowledge.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:06:56-05:00
Apocalypse indeed
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:17:52-05:00
The boss and I have a good boss/worker relationship. There is kind of a split in the employees of who is with the boss or who is against. The boss has my support and some of the guys i work with are arrogant and stupid. When they cross the line, I have no problem letting the boss know it. Some minor boss bashing, it happens. When stuff is taken too far, I let him know. The current t boss took over for my father when he retired. Everyone likes me and my father, but not the new guy. I was never the boss's kid and he was never dad at work. Everybody knew there wasn't any preferential treatment and they respected the fact that we both work hard and smart. Some of the guys just turned into assholes when the new younger guy came in. I saw how hard my father worked at his job and making the company's reputation what it is. If they are damaging the companies reputation, that's a problem. Bad rep = less jobs. Less jobs=less hours. Less hours = less pay and lower bonuses. Not cool.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:19:20-05:00
DAMMIT I NEED A DRINK!!!!!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:21:28-05:00
Yes, Zem. The actor who portrayed Grizzly Adams, Dan Haggerty.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T16:23:29-05:00
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:42:35-05:00
If I'm 11th, I'm starting a new line.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T16:43:34-05:00
Yeah, Trinkets, at first that sounded to me like "Dang it, just found out Abraham Lincoln died!". But it turned out more like if Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln's actor, had died.
Dang it, next they'll be saying Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie died! 1836 is getting worse by the day!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T16:44:36-05:00
Can I get in line? I can't have a drink, unless the line extends to Canada, but I'll keep you guys company. (and maybe sneak a drink, maybe not ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T16:58:14-05:00
I'm guessing if you got in GM's line you would be ok.
Some people really don't realize that they are *much* newer to KS and all it's little ways of finding information than others. But, then again, not everyone does look into other projects people back(yes, I'm nosey and see if there is anything cool I may have missed).
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T17:05:53-05:00
I am my own bar. Why do you think God created flask?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-15T17:07:10-05:00
Our line probably has a higher alcohol content though, so be careful! ;) You know, a drink sounds good... and you know if I'm drinking its been a rough day!
I've been having issues with Excel all afternoon not doing what it's supposed to. Even doing the EXACT same steps that my manager did 3 minutes ago, right in front of me.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T17:11:03-05:00
I'm a noob to KS. Lurked for a little before EK. Buddy of mine had been on for a while. I would look at what he was backing. But never got on it until I saw EK.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T17:11:56-05:00
Maybe Excel needs a drink?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T17:12:25-05:00
Okay....people need to form a new line separate from mine for drinks. It looks like I will be in that spot for the remainder of the year.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T17:22:59-05:00
Finally the weekend. There ran old arcade exhibit that I want to go to. They will have all the old video games plus new ones. It happens once a year so I don't want to miss it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T17:32:05-05:00
Now I want...no NEED...to know what you were going to put!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T18:01:39-05:00
Trinkets, I've seen that. That one's really funny, but this might be my favorite:https://www.youtube.com/watch… And this one just comes to my head whenever I see ice or someone says black ice (alot this time of year): https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T18:02:08-05:00
Though wait, what brought up Key and Peele?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T18:04:12-05:00
Geist, there was an arcade museum I went to in I think San Francisco that had all the famous ones since arcade games were made, even some games back before computers. That was an awesome place! Of course, though, to play them you needed at least 2 quarters. Why couldn't they have stuck with the price from when they were made?!
Would it be EU friendly and come with sleeves?
Ok. Someone must have said trinkets 3 times in a row.
Ambidextrous flannel sleeves :-D

I'm all mathed out today, otherwise I would try and help....probably fail miserably, but it would be a 10% try.
If you were wondering, I didn't win the Powerball. Still poor as always
And if I was an Excel guru, I would create a spreadsheet that calculates it all for you. Unfortunately, I'm not.
I'm great with Excel. I'm just not sure of the formula to use.
@Geist: Dang it, now I have to return that Lambo sitting outside the office. =/
I would have been happy with the million dollar prize. Heck, even the $50,000 would have been nice
You guys. If you live near Costco- there is a blanket there- $17.59, and it's queen sized and it is the softest most glorious Thing and I felt a little guilty buying it becasue you know. I DO NOT FEEL GULTY IT IS WONDERFUL!

Nope...
27 sweet 27! It's beautiful outside! Nice and cold with a pleasant breeze. It's just a little too strong of a breeze, though. It kept blowing my jacket off to the sides since I didn't have it zipped, and that got annoying, but other than that, it's perfect here today. Thanks to whoever ended up accepting my trade.
Not even your black belt in google-fu can help you? That's when you know it's serious!
Nope. There just isn't a standard method for calculating the maximum throughput of an analyzer that performs a wide variety of assays.
So you just have to wing it and have it done before you go home or whenever that deadline was? That sounds delightful.
I contacted the manufacturer yesterday to see if they can help
I have a lovely bunch of coconuts
That's... nice to know. Got any big ones? Like, as big as your head?
....checked back in on a whim.... I'm half surprised and half not surprised at all to see that the comments are still growing here...
We are a friendly (and bored at work) bunch Kristen
Well...is today over yet?
And yes, Kristen, we are a very bored(and friendly) bunch here.
Everyone does something to kill the time. We annoy eachother. We have parties together separately.
@GM, I only wish, what a bear of a week! Oh well, this weekend should be good anyways! ;)
@BaKhan: I wish. We need to start moving furniture. We are getting our whole main floor redone with hardwood everywhere except the bathroom and laundry room, which will be tile. We're also getting renovations done in both upstairs bathrooms, so we all(4 of us) need to share the basement bathroom until those are done.
@GM, good times! XP Well if you need an escape, I'm doing some painting on Sunday and lots of extra zombies that could use some painting as well... ;)
I'll probably end up at a movie at some point this weekend. And I know we won't be moving it all today, since we don't even know when the renovations will be happening(meeting on Monday to figure it out). We just want to get a bit of a head start.
Also, I might back out of Guards of Atlantis. I do like the minis...but not sure if I can justify the amount.
@GM, I'm hoping for some sg's to flesh out the base pledge, but at the rate its going now, I'm not even sure its going to fund at all, so I'm still holding out, if it gets the backing point, but still not enough value for me, I'll pull it at that time. Kinda feel bad for them though...
They are trying, and it seems like a decent idea. But just the dollar value($74 EB + $25-30 shipping) doesn't really sit with me all that well. You're only getting 18 miniatures, ~150-200 cards, and then however many tokens + dice. Just doesn't work out to be a good investment, especially given the dollar right now.
End up at a movie? The Revenant sounds awesome. Even though I know it's not going to be anything like the real story, though that was a hell of a story.
Revenant looks good. Will need to see that one.
The boss bought me lunch today! !!
And wanted to sit around and talk. So I get a paid 2 hour lunch to boot. He wanted to know the "dirt" going on with everyone else. I told him that everyone is good except my delivery guy and one worker (who the boss almost fired on Monday). Kind of felt like I was being put in the middle of where I don't want to be. So I told him stuff that he should have already known or wasn't surprised to hear. Boss is happy I'm talking and the guys shouldn't be mad because I didn't throw anyone under the bus.
Walking a tight rope is exhilarating.
Grizzly Adams passed away.
Like 150 years ago. News travels slow, huh?
Ah, looked it up. Now we've got the deaths of two grizzly adams on our hands. Can people just please stop dying?! At least Robin Williams had the good taste to go on his own, though I bet if he hadn't done it himself, he'd've died this month too.
@Trinkets: At this rate, all of the good stars will be gone by March. Are we sure this isn't the apocalypse?
@Trinkets: Your boss asked you that? Why would he put in in such a position in the first place? That makes it seem like the only reason he bought you lunch loosen you up to squeal on other workers, instead of rewarding you for a job well done.
Good job on playing it cool though. I try to do that when I feel like someone is fishing for info. I keep it general or just comment on common knowledge.
Apocalypse indeed
The boss and I have a good boss/worker relationship. There is kind of a split in the employees of who is with the boss or who is against. The boss has my support and some of the guys i work with are arrogant and stupid. When they cross the line, I have no problem letting the boss know it. Some minor boss bashing, it happens. When stuff is taken too far, I let him know. The current t boss took over for my father when he retired. Everyone likes me and my father, but not the new guy. I was never the boss's kid and he was never dad at work. Everybody knew there wasn't any preferential treatment and they respected the fact that we both work hard and smart. Some of the guys just turned into assholes when the new younger guy came in. I saw how hard my father worked at his job and making the company's reputation what it is. If they are damaging the companies reputation, that's a problem. Bad rep = less jobs. Less jobs=less hours. Less hours = less pay and lower bonuses. Not cool.
DAMMIT I NEED A DRINK!!!!!
Yes, Zem. The actor who portrayed Grizzly Adams, Dan Haggerty.
DAMMIT I NEED A DRINK!!!!!
Get in line. Me first.
@Geist: You're second in line today.
Make that 10th. I'm the first 9 in line.
If I'm 11th, I'm starting a new line.
Yeah, Trinkets, at first that sounded to me like "Dang it, just found out Abraham Lincoln died!". But it turned out more like if Daniel Day-Lewis, Lincoln's actor, had died.
Dang it, next they'll be saying Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie died! 1836 is getting worse by the day!
Can I get in line? I can't have a drink, unless the line extends to Canada, but I'll keep you guys company. (and maybe sneak a drink, maybe not ;)
I'm guessing if you got in GM's line you would be ok.
Some people really don't realize that they are *much* newer to KS and all it's little ways of finding information than others. But, then again, not everyone does look into other projects people back(yes, I'm nosey and see if there is anything cool I may have missed).
I am my own bar. Why do you think God created flask?
Our line probably has a higher alcohol content though, so be careful! ;) You know, a drink sounds good... and you know if I'm drinking its been a rough day!
I've been having issues with Excel all afternoon not doing what it's supposed to. Even doing the EXACT same steps that my manager did 3 minutes ago, right in front of me.
I'm a noob to KS. Lurked for a little before EK. Buddy of mine had been on for a while. I would look at what he was backing. But never got on it until I saw EK.
Maybe Excel needs a drink?
Zem, one of my favorite Key and Peele skits :

Okay....people need to form a new line separate from mine for drinks. It looks like I will be in that spot for the remainder of the year.
Finally the weekend. There ran old arcade exhibit that I want to go to. They will have all the old video games plus new ones. It happens once a year so I don't want to miss it.
@GM: Who is bartending the other line?
Not sure. My bartender will end up being some hottie who is willing to listen to me complain about my work. Of course I will tip her.
@GM, I was about to write something really rude, and then self censored, but I figured if I told you that, you would figure it out... is that evil? ;)
Now I want...no NEED...to know what you were going to put!
Trinkets, I've seen that. That one's really funny, but this might be my favorite:https://www.youtube.com/watch…
And this one just comes to my head whenever I see ice or someone says black ice (alot this time of year): https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Though wait, what brought up Key and Peele?
Geist, there was an arcade museum I went to in I think San Francisco that had all the famous ones since arcade games were made, even some games back before computers. That was an awesome place! Of course, though, to play them you needed at least 2 quarters. Why couldn't they have stuck with the price from when they were made?!
