I'm getting impatient with the snake plan. How can I convince 300 people to send me one dollar?
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-04T14:24:31-05:00
Where's Creeper?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-04T14:26:31-05:00
Zem, yes, I had surgery. That was 16 years ago. I should have made that clearer. The chiropractor was trying to fix me and it wasn't doing any good. Then my disc herniated and ruptured. I had a discectemy and everything had been fine until recently. Different area of my back too. I just never found any relief from chiropractors.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-04T14:34:50-05:00
@LZ: If some guy can ask for $5 to make potato salad on KS, why not ask folks for $1 for a kitty. You could even put a tier where if someone backs for $300, they get to name the cat. (Within reason, of course)
Hiya lz- I saw the gofundme. Good luck to you! I currently am literally taking in loose change to my bank because I still have to get Leo fixed, microchipped and get him his shots...
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-04T15:08:53-05:00
Thanks, Creeper! Would you mind sharing the gofundme on the KC twitteren?
Awh, that's sweet of you to offer- but I'll figure it out. If there ever were an emergency or a surgery he needed- I may have to fundraise. But for this stuff I'll have to pick up some extra shifts and bake some more! Just fixing him is $200, microchip is $80...this stuff piles up!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-04T16:11:58-05:00
@Creeper: I think getting him fixed might mellow Leo a little bit. Won't have a strong an urge to attack your ankles.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-04T16:17:29-05:00
$200 for neutering!? Wow! I've always had the Humane Society do it for about $25
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-04T16:46:29-05:00
Thanks LZ. I donated. Sorry I couldn't match what the other person did. Hopefully your friends and family will fill in the rest.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T17:02:24-05:00
Oh jeez, I saw the link and read Geist donated and assumed you launched the hot sauce KS without me!
You know, that would raise you $300 really quick, and that's just from us! Except KS doesn't have the option to let the money through instantly, so you'd only get in in a month.
Yeah- I want to look into humane society- but NYC in general is just more expensive. I really like his vet though. The whole office is so sweet and sent me a card after our first emergent visit when I sobbed for about two hours straight.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T17:49:47-05:00
I love how it's so funny that the most exciting Leo ever did is poop. We had the same situation after my grandpa had colon cancer surgery and recovered faster than middle aged people but his intestines took their sweet time getting back in order. We made sure to bring him the book "Everybody Poops!"
`
So, the lab wasn't as bad as predicted, but if I know exams (I hope I do), then this one is going to be worse than most. And I say that knowing full well P-chem grad students had a hard time working out the solutions manual on our gen-chem exam because of the professor. It took him 2 days AFTER the exam to finish the solutions. The average was 45% and NOBODY passed.
I know, Zem! Nobody wants to talk about it - but if you can't poop - it's a big big problem!! :) Was just talking to someone else- he rescued a cat that ended up costing him a FORTUNE - had asthma, crystals, etc. He was talking about how he crawled on the ground and sniffed a spot because he didn't know if he spilled water or if the cat finally peed. haha.
Ya gotta poop! And I'll never forget that day when Leo finally had the most perfect normal poop and his troubles were gone! I just look at him and say "Do you even remember what you put us through? Did you block that part of your life out?!?"
hahaha... Really?? Let's see pics!! Congrats on your new baby!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T21:10:34-05:00
Weeell then. That's that and that's all done with. Weekend!!! (For all intents and purposes other than sleeping in or doing anything before 12:30 pm tomorrow unless I still decide to take the day off which I may still do but probably won't in the end even though I only have 2 classes, one after an exam so nothing will probably happen and the other entirely non-essential)
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-04T21:10:57-05:00
Ack! I can't get to the litter box! I only knew how to get there through the website, and the domain has lapsed!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T21:13:47-05:00
So wait, was it the sphynx in the end? Or will you still be saving for that one as well? I mean, two cats is always better than one.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-04T21:14:49-05:00
I'm still saving for the Sphynx. Her name will be Lilith
CB was maintaining it. I know he's been having a really hard time lately. :( probably not on his priorities. I don't know the cost of te domain. I'm sure if someone emailed him, he may hand the keys over to someone else.
To add- I know that sales from the Kittencorps items all went towards website. I don't know if any sales have been made recently to help fund the reboot.
Well, we're at the airport waiting for the plane...only another ~2hours until we are in the air.....I'm kind of bored. And there are only 5 people in the gate area.
I REALLY can't wait to get home. My friend I can travel with....his brother on the other hand...
We were contemplating going to Battlefield Vegas today, but due to the cost(and yes this is the exact reason why the brother was pissed today) of dinner on Sunday(way more than we anticipated...and $60 of it was for the signature cocktail the brother never even finished) we decided it was out of the price range. I can't wait to not have to deal with the brother for a LONG LONG time after this flight(unfortunately...he is sitting right beside me on the flight).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T22:44:33-05:00
Wait, NOOO! The site is down?! At least we still have the Litter Box. We could set up a patreon for the site or something. We had all the pages backed up so if we do restore it we can just bring it all back up in pristine glory, right?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T22:45:20-05:00
Maybe we could press for the KC expansion deck again (wait, that was just me, wasn't it? ;) and then use a tiny bit of the proceeds to fund the corps site.
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-04T23:11:36-05:00
I checked in with Elan last week, the expansion pack isn't ready for testing yet. But I can't see asking them for money in any case. That isn't how fan clubs work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-04T23:24:46-05:00
No, I mean just a tiny bit of the proceeds to run the site for a bit longer. The patreon was a better idea though. Besides, I'd only think it'd even be logical to take the tiny share from a KC expansion. Unless that's what you meant...
PoT- yeah-I'm sure focus is still on the app, etc. can't unleash everything at once. Slow roll much better.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T00:09:54-05:00
Oh wait... Litter Box was part of the site, wasn't it... shit. I still checked that every day! I wish you guys would have joined me over there. Or used it for its intended (halloween) purpose. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. We need some way to bring it back though.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T00:10:36-05:00
And great. Now that that's down, I'll be logged out for the first time in several months and probably have to request a new password if it is ever brought back up.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-05T00:26:24-05:00
Heh, I'm pretty sure I still remember my password
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T00:42:11-05:00
What virgin animal's blood did you use during the third part of the new password ritual?
Oof...that password...I had a new one sent to me. Not sure where it is or if that will work either.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T01:56:59-05:00
Well it sure won't as long as the KC site is down. That's just a sad, unfortunate happenstance.
`
Hey, someone said CB was having a rough time recently. 1) That's really unfortunate. But B) You must see him around! Kick his cheetah butt on over here! He hasn't been here in forever, and he was one of the central pillars of the corps.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-05T02:08:54-05:00
Remember, I work in a lab, where the blood flows plentifully. There's even children's blood lying around. It's almost as if someone were begging me to perform eldritch rituals.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T02:38:14-05:00
Yeah, but 1) that's unsanitary, and B) I don't think it would look good on your resume to have been fired for using samples to summon the Great Old Ones.

Good morning. Hopefully we aren't waking any GOO's today.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T08:59:25-05:00
Morning kittens.
I sent a message to CB and told him I'd be happy to take over the reigns and pay for another year for the KC site. I'll see if he answers.
Otherwise, it's FRIDAY!!!!!!! Happy to be at the end of another week. Lot's to do Saturday. 7 hours at the Crafty Bastard festival then on to a white elephant card meetup.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-05T09:45:34-05:00
Sounds fun, Geist.
I'm off at 11 this morning. Then painting minis until tonight. Then it's game night. Then painting more minis tomorrow. We just got Imperial Assault the Hoth expansion and a few of the extra minis.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T09:51:34-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T09:55:18-05:00
Morning BaKhan! How did the appointment go?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T11:38:29-05:00
@Geist, surprisingly easily actually. The worst part was getting the IV put in. I have rubbery viens apparently... I wasn't completely knocked out just sedated. It was funny because they told me that I would most likely pass out, and if I didn't I probably wouldn't remember anything. Well, I didn't pass out (which kinda sucks cause I was hoping for the good stuff...) and I remember all of it. It was traumatic at all, just a little uncomfortable. It was kind of neat being able to see my heart and how it was working. They had a hard time even finding the hole, so they had to add something to make these bubbles, almost looked like pop fizz, and then they could find it. I never had anyone tell me anything per sey, but my impression was that it was a very small hole, and won't be a big deal. So that made me feel better! One funny take away was apparently one of the sedatives they gave me was the same one the Michael Jackson o.d. on, and my response was well that explains why I had the overwhelming urge to say HE Heee! I had the nurses laughing!
TL:DR everythings good! ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-05T11:42:30-05:00
Sounds like things are pointing in the right direction.
Sounds like great news, BaKhan! !!!!!!
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-05T11:44:00-05:00
BaKhan, that's great!
In other news, I'm up to $85!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-05T11:45:52-05:00
I remember going on a nice little ride right before I went under for my back surgery. As they were injecting the knockout stuff into my iv, I asked the nurses if they have heard people say goofy things as this stuff started to kick in. They chuckled and said ooh yeah. Then the ceiling tiles started racing around. I felt compelled to say, " you know your ceiling tiles are racing?"
Then I went night night.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T11:47:06-05:00
Thanks guys! Best of luck with your fund raising LZ!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T11:48:40-05:00
@Trinkets, I think they underestimated my mis-spent youth and therefore my tolerances to drugs... ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-05T11:57:45-05:00
Any time I'm told I won't remember something, I take it as a personal challenge
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:24:07-05:00
Good to know we will have our BaKhan around for years to come.
Or at least until he helps me steal all of the maple syrup in Canada.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:25:13-05:00
@Trinkets: One of the main reasons why I haven't gotten a much needed surgery is because I'm afraid that the knock out drugs WON'T work and that I will be awake while they cut into me.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:34:51-05:00
According to CB, the KC site expired a few days ago so it will have to be rebuild from scratch. Which I know not one whit how to do. Any hints on how to get it back up?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T12:38:08-05:00
Any chance we can raise some funds and have CB do it for us? If possible... I can't think of a better way.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:40:30-05:00
I won't come into some money until next Wednesday but I'm happy to do it if CB will help run it with me.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:41:22-05:00
Also, according to Go Daddy, the domain name is $70.00 but this can be negotiated. I wonder if he would sell it for a bit cheaper.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T12:44:30-05:00
I'm not rich by any means right now, but I'll put in what I can, just let me know what to do!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:46:27-05:00
Trust me BaKhan, I'm not rich either. Reason why I am looking for a part time job and take public transportation.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T12:54:01-05:00
My problems were all sadly self created. We put in three new furnaces with air conditioning and a new deck last year ($70k approx.) and we went to Disneyland twice and Disney world once, so... yeah. No one to blame but ourselves. I still have a ton more I would like to do on our house, but sadly most of it will have to wait for next year (and beyond) so we can recoup!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T12:56:53-05:00
Just got through chatting with the GoDaddy people. If CB agrees to transfer the site to me, it would only cost $8.17 instead of $69.99.
If he agrees, does anyone still have the original KC logo downloaded somewhere?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T13:01:57-05:00
Just sent a note to CB. If he won't agree to the site transfer, I've made an offer to buy the site name from him for a little over half the asking price. Otherwise, I'd have to decide to purchase the name for the price GoDaddy is asking.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T13:02:51-05:00
At least you can afford a vacation BaKhan. I haven't been on one in 4 years.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-05T13:34:42-05:00
DDD should still have the Original logo. I have the Oatmeal version as my phone's wallpaper
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T13:43:22-05:00
I was thinking I may actually not take the day off, but I woke up, lied in bed for 2 minutes, looked at the clock, 30 minutes had passed, and I realized it was going to be THAT kind of morning and just went back to sleep until 12:30. I was just going to go to the bathroom and go back to sleep, but it was being cleaned, so I thought if I'm going to be up this long, I may as well just wake up now.
But I was told they had DONUTS for breakfast! Dang it!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T13:51:44-05:00
@LZ: I have the picture The Oatmeal drew of my screen name as my phone's wallpaper when you first turn it on. (Jermaine Clement in a sexy pose is the other picture)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T13:52:08-05:00
Don't know how to contact DDD. Crap, I missed him last time he was here.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T13:55:01-05:00
Nevermind. Found it doing a Google search so I can put it up on the site again.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T13:56:29-05:00
So no backed up files? That was a mistake.
Also, all my thousands of hours on youtube can come to the rescue. Domain.com and use scamschool at checkout for 15% off. Too bad this wasn't when they had the scamjumbo deal for like 2-3 times that much off.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T13:59:41-05:00
And my dad's body filters out incredibly fast due to some kidney syndrome, so he can't get drunk almost at all. The one time he got close, he drank enough to kill a couple people. He could drink as much as Andre the Giant did in the hotel that one time if he really wanted. But the first time he went in for surgery, on his nose, he only felt really sleepy. So when the doc cut into his nose at first, he said, "Wow, Doc, that really smarts! Are you sure I should be awake for this?!" He just looked at my dad for a second, turned to the anesthesiologist, and yelled "Why the [hell] isn't he under?!". It took a second or two, but they finally knocked him out.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T14:00:47-05:00
Hey, I bet the internet archives have the site in its full glory! We should check there to see if we can use those files!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T14:24:35-05:00
CB (or Mike as he doesn't seem to want to play with us anymore) sent me a message saying he is willing to give me the domain name. I sent the directions on how that can be achieved and will wait to hear back from him.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T14:34:35-05:00
@Geist, thats too bad about CB, I hope he's okay. Are any of our other KC counterparts interwebz savy? Certainly not me... ;)
Honey I'm ho......wait, I don't have a honey....well, I'm home non-the-less.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-05T14:42:30-05:00
@GM, welcome back eh?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T14:43:30-05:00
Glad you made it back safe GM. Hope you had a fun time in Vegas. You seriously needed some R&R away from your job.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T14:44:22-05:00
@BaKhan: I'll have to take a crash course in internet web design. If Mike can do it, I know I certainly can.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T14:45:57-05:00
GM, do you at least have honey? It could work then, though it'd be really weird.
`
Unfortunately, other than great youtube discount deals, I know nothing about web design and maintenance.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T14:46:42-05:00
Speaking of which, Geist, I could find you dozens of great Lynda.com deals for courses on web designership and maintenance, and I know CB would help you out a great deal.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T14:51:55-05:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-05T14:54:54-05:00
That page has snapshots of every page on there, or at least it should. I don't know if you can copy and paste things onto the new version once we bring it back, but you can use it as a guide.
Why didn't CB warn us the site was going under? We could've planned for this all already.
CB has been working on his own Kickstarter project, along with a lot of things going on in his life. He's just a very busy man. I know it's not personal- he was such a huuuuge help for many many months. He probably needed to make a few cuts to his priorities.
There are a lot of super easy templates out there, Geist. But again- money. Basic ones are cheap, and you can usually find a promo code out there. Again-I'd love to help out financially, but I am just very strapped right now.
Two other things- had lunch at Google offices today. Super fun! (And free) and Leo drank coffee. I walked in kitchen and he was drinking from cup. If I make it through today, it will be a miracle. #psychokitty
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T16:20:42-05:00
Wait. Leo is a coffee drinker?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T16:22:03-05:00
I don't blame in Creeper. He really did a lot of the heavy lifting when the site was first active. He is always welcome to come here and say "Hi". I worry about him.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-05T16:25:49-05:00
One last thing: I read the update on his KS. I am aware of some of the trials he is going through. I wish him nothing but the best and if he needs to vent or some help, I'm sure those of us here would be happy to help out as best they can.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-05T16:29:14-05:00
Wow, you guys have been busy. Thanks to the muscle relaxer I took for my back, I have been in a droopy, relaxed, sleep filled day so far. Probably going back to bed.
Geist, I've had to be put under a few times for surgeries. It's really not bad. Kind of fun actually. Get a good dose of knock out stuff then wake up with problem fixed. Little recovery and rehab. Good as new.
As for computer/Interwebz stuff, I'm useless. Hell, I had to go to a friend to find out how to use my smartphone when I first got one. I couldn't even make a call with it,lol.
I'm getting impatient with the snake plan. How can I convince 300 people to send me one dollar?
Where's Creeper?
Zem, yes, I had surgery. That was 16 years ago. I should have made that clearer. The chiropractor was trying to fix me and it wasn't doing any good. Then my disc herniated and ruptured. I had a discectemy and everything had been fine until recently. Different area of my back too. I just never found any relief from chiropractors.
@LZ: If some guy can ask for $5 to make potato salad on KS, why not ask folks for $1 for a kitty. You could even put a tier where if someone backs for $300, they get to name the cat. (Within reason, of course)
I made a gofundme campaign.
So sleepy.
Hiya lz- I saw the gofundme. Good luck to you! I currently am literally taking in loose change to my bank because I still have to get Leo fixed, microchipped and get him his shots...
Thanks, Creeper! Would you mind sharing the gofundme on the KC twitteren?
Will do perhaps tomorrow so it can be spaced out a bit. But will do!
Thanks! Just $250 to go!
@Creeper: You know can count on the KC team to help with little Leo's doctoring.
KC has a twitter? Never knew that. Since I don't twit, where is the link to your gofundme LZ?
Awh, that's sweet of you to offer- but I'll figure it out. If there ever were an emergency or a surgery he needed- I may have to fundraise. But for this stuff I'll have to pick up some extra shifts and bake some more! Just fixing him is $200, microchip is $80...this stuff piles up!
@Creeper: I think getting him fixed might mellow Leo a little bit. Won't have a strong an urge to attack your ankles.
$200 for neutering!? Wow! I've always had the Humane Society do it for about $25
Geist, it's here.
https://www.gofundme.com/ccn58tqk
Thanks LZ. I donated. Sorry I couldn't match what the other person did. Hopefully your friends and family will fill in the rest.
Oh jeez, I saw the link and read Geist donated and assumed you launched the hot sauce KS without me!
You know, that would raise you $300 really quick, and that's just from us! Except KS doesn't have the option to let the money through instantly, so you'd only get in in a month.
Thank you so much, Geist!
Yeah- I want to look into humane society- but NYC in general is just more expensive. I really like his vet though. The whole office is so sweet and sent me a card after our first emergent visit when I sobbed for about two hours straight.
I love how it's so funny that the most exciting Leo ever did is poop. We had the same situation after my grandpa had colon cancer surgery and recovered faster than middle aged people but his intestines took their sweet time getting back in order. We made sure to bring him the book "Everybody Poops!"

And I say that knowing full well P-chem grad students had a hard time working out the solutions manual on our gen-chem exam because of the professor. It took him 2 days AFTER the exam to finish the solutions. The average was 45% and NOBODY passed.
I know, Zem! Nobody wants to talk about it - but if you can't poop - it's a big big problem!! :) Was just talking to someone else- he rescued a cat that ended up costing him a FORTUNE - had asthma, crystals, etc. He was talking about how he crawled on the ground and sniffed a spot because he didn't know if he spilled water or if the cat finally peed. haha.
Ya gotta poop! And I'll never forget that day when Leo finally had the most perfect normal poop and his troubles were gone! I just look at him and say "Do you even remember what you put us through? Did you block that part of your life out?!?"
He also sniffs out rubber bands- which i know are a huge no-no for kitties. I don't know WHERE he manages to find them. It drives me crazy.
We just got back from rescuing a cat from the shelter. We named him Creeper.
Nice name there LZ.
So, we are sitting around waiting. Haven't even left the hotel yet to go to the airport.
Thanks, GM. It was the wife's idea.
hahaha... Really?? Let's see pics!! Congrats on your new baby!!
Weeell then. That's that and that's all done with. Weekend!!! (For all intents and purposes other than sleeping in or doing anything before 12:30 pm tomorrow unless I still decide to take the day off which I may still do but probably won't in the end even though I only have 2 classes, one after an exam so nothing will probably happen and the other entirely non-essential)
Ack! I can't get to the litter box! I only knew how to get there through the website, and the domain has lapsed!
So wait, was it the sphynx in the end? Or will you still be saving for that one as well? I mean, two cats is always better than one.
I'm still saving for the Sphynx. Her name will be Lilith
Oh noooooo! Our website is down and out. :(
I see you know the KC site is defunct. What happens now?
CB was maintaining it. I know he's been having a really hard time lately. :( probably not on his priorities. I don't know the cost of te domain. I'm sure if someone emailed him, he may hand the keys over to someone else.
To add- I know that sales from the Kittencorps items all went towards website. I don't know if any sales have been made recently to help fund the reboot.
Well, we're at the airport waiting for the plane...only another ~2hours until we are in the air.....I'm kind of bored. And there are only 5 people in the gate area.
I REALLY can't wait to get home. My friend I can travel with....his brother on the other hand...
We were contemplating going to Battlefield Vegas today, but due to the cost(and yes this is the exact reason why the brother was pissed today) of dinner on Sunday(way more than we anticipated...and $60 of it was for the signature cocktail the brother never even finished) we decided it was out of the price range. I can't wait to not have to deal with the brother for a LONG LONG time after this flight(unfortunately...he is sitting right beside me on the flight).
Wait, NOOO! The site is down?! At least we still have the Litter Box. We could set up a patreon for the site or something. We had all the pages backed up so if we do restore it we can just bring it all back up in pristine glory, right?
Maybe we could press for the KC expansion deck again (wait, that was just me, wasn't it? ;) and then use a tiny bit of the proceeds to fund the corps site.
I checked in with Elan last week, the expansion pack isn't ready for testing yet. But I can't see asking them for money in any case. That isn't how fan clubs work.
No, I mean just a tiny bit of the proceeds to run the site for a bit longer. The patreon was a better idea though. Besides, I'd only think it'd even be logical to take the tiny share from a KC expansion. Unless that's what you meant...
PoT- yeah-I'm sure focus is still on the app, etc. can't unleash everything at once. Slow roll much better.
Oh wait... Litter Box was part of the site, wasn't it... shit. I still checked that every day! I wish you guys would have joined me over there. Or used it for its intended (halloween) purpose. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. We need some way to bring it back though.
And great. Now that that's down, I'll be logged out for the first time in several months and probably have to request a new password if it is ever brought back up.
Heh, I'm pretty sure I still remember my password
What virgin animal's blood did you use during the third part of the new password ritual?
Oof...that password...I had a new one sent to me. Not sure where it is or if that will work either.
Well it sure won't as long as the KC site is down. That's just a sad, unfortunate happenstance.
`
Hey, someone said CB was having a rough time recently. 1) That's really unfortunate. But B) You must see him around! Kick his cheetah butt on over here! He hasn't been here in forever, and he was one of the central pillars of the corps.
Remember, I work in a lab, where the blood flows plentifully. There's even children's blood lying around. It's almost as if someone were begging me to perform eldritch rituals.
Yeah, but 1) that's unsanitary, and B) I don't think it would look good on your resume to have been fired for using samples to summon the Great Old Ones.

Good morning. Hopefully we aren't waking any GOO's today.
Morning kittens.
I sent a message to CB and told him I'd be happy to take over the reigns and pay for another year for the KC site. I'll see if he answers.
Otherwise, it's FRIDAY!!!!!!! Happy to be at the end of another week. Lot's to do Saturday. 7 hours at the Crafty Bastard festival then on to a white elephant card meetup.
Sounds fun, Geist.
I'm off at 11 this morning. Then painting minis until tonight. Then it's game night. Then painting more minis tomorrow. We just got Imperial Assault the Hoth expansion and a few of the extra minis.
Good Morning Kittens!
Morning BaKhan! How did the appointment go?
@Geist, surprisingly easily actually. The worst part was getting the IV put in. I have rubbery viens apparently... I wasn't completely knocked out just sedated. It was funny because they told me that I would most likely pass out, and if I didn't I probably wouldn't remember anything. Well, I didn't pass out (which kinda sucks cause I was hoping for the good stuff...) and I remember all of it. It was traumatic at all, just a little uncomfortable. It was kind of neat being able to see my heart and how it was working. They had a hard time even finding the hole, so they had to add something to make these bubbles, almost looked like pop fizz, and then they could find it. I never had anyone tell me anything per sey, but my impression was that it was a very small hole, and won't be a big deal. So that made me feel better! One funny take away was apparently one of the sedatives they gave me was the same one the Michael Jackson o.d. on, and my response was well that explains why I had the overwhelming urge to say HE Heee! I had the nurses laughing!
TL:DR everythings good! ;)
Sounds like things are pointing in the right direction.
Sounds like great news, BaKhan! !!!!!!
BaKhan, that's great!
In other news, I'm up to $85!
I remember going on a nice little ride right before I went under for my back surgery. As they were injecting the knockout stuff into my iv, I asked the nurses if they have heard people say goofy things as this stuff started to kick in. They chuckled and said ooh yeah. Then the ceiling tiles started racing around. I felt compelled to say, " you know your ceiling tiles are racing?"
Then I went night night.
Thanks guys! Best of luck with your fund raising LZ!
@Trinkets, I think they underestimated my mis-spent youth and therefore my tolerances to drugs... ;)
Any time I'm told I won't remember something, I take it as a personal challenge
Good to know we will have our BaKhan around for years to come.
Or at least until he helps me steal all of the maple syrup in Canada.
@Trinkets: One of the main reasons why I haven't gotten a much needed surgery is because I'm afraid that the knock out drugs WON'T work and that I will be awake while they cut into me.
According to CB, the KC site expired a few days ago so it will have to be rebuild from scratch. Which I know not one whit how to do. Any hints on how to get it back up?
Any chance we can raise some funds and have CB do it for us? If possible... I can't think of a better way.
I won't come into some money until next Wednesday but I'm happy to do it if CB will help run it with me.
Also, according to Go Daddy, the domain name is $70.00 but this can be negotiated. I wonder if he would sell it for a bit cheaper.
I'm not rich by any means right now, but I'll put in what I can, just let me know what to do!
Trust me BaKhan, I'm not rich either. Reason why I am looking for a part time job and take public transportation.
My problems were all sadly self created. We put in three new furnaces with air conditioning and a new deck last year ($70k approx.) and we went to Disneyland twice and Disney world once, so... yeah. No one to blame but ourselves. I still have a ton more I would like to do on our house, but sadly most of it will have to wait for next year (and beyond) so we can recoup!
Just got through chatting with the GoDaddy people. If CB agrees to transfer the site to me, it would only cost $8.17 instead of $69.99.
If he agrees, does anyone still have the original KC logo downloaded somewhere?
Just sent a note to CB. If he won't agree to the site transfer, I've made an offer to buy the site name from him for a little over half the asking price. Otherwise, I'd have to decide to purchase the name for the price GoDaddy is asking.
At least you can afford a vacation BaKhan. I haven't been on one in 4 years.
DDD should still have the Original logo. I have the Oatmeal version as my phone's wallpaper
I was thinking I may actually not take the day off, but I woke up, lied in bed for 2 minutes, looked at the clock, 30 minutes had passed, and I realized it was going to be THAT kind of morning and just went back to sleep until 12:30. I was just going to go to the bathroom and go back to sleep, but it was being cleaned, so I thought if I'm going to be up this long, I may as well just wake up now.
But I was told they had DONUTS for breakfast! Dang it!
@LZ: I have the picture The Oatmeal drew of my screen name as my phone's wallpaper when you first turn it on. (Jermaine Clement in a sexy pose is the other picture)
Don't know how to contact DDD. Crap, I missed him last time he was here.
Nevermind. Found it doing a Google search so I can put it up on the site again.
So no backed up files? That was a mistake.
Also, all my thousands of hours on youtube can come to the rescue. Domain.com and use scamschool at checkout for 15% off. Too bad this wasn't when they had the scamjumbo deal for like 2-3 times that much off.
And my dad's body filters out incredibly fast due to some kidney syndrome, so he can't get drunk almost at all. The one time he got close, he drank enough to kill a couple people. He could drink as much as Andre the Giant did in the hotel that one time if he really wanted. But the first time he went in for surgery, on his nose, he only felt really sleepy. So when the doc cut into his nose at first, he said, "Wow, Doc, that really smarts! Are you sure I should be awake for this?!" He just looked at my dad for a second, turned to the anesthesiologist, and yelled "Why the [hell] isn't he under?!". It took a second or two, but they finally knocked him out.
Hey, I bet the internet archives have the site in its full glory! We should check there to see if we can use those files!
CB (or Mike as he doesn't seem to want to play with us anymore) sent me a message saying he is willing to give me the domain name. I sent the directions on how that can be achieved and will wait to hear back from him.
@Geist, thats too bad about CB, I hope he's okay. Are any of our other KC counterparts interwebz savy? Certainly not me... ;)
Honey I'm ho......wait, I don't have a honey....well, I'm home non-the-less.
@GM, welcome back eh?!
Glad you made it back safe GM. Hope you had a fun time in Vegas. You seriously needed some R&R away from your job.
@BaKhan: I'll have to take a crash course in internet web design. If Mike can do it, I know I certainly can.
GM, do you at least have honey? It could work then, though it'd be really weird.
`
Unfortunately, other than great youtube discount deals, I know nothing about web design and maintenance.
Speaking of which, Geist, I could find you dozens of great Lynda.com deals for courses on web designership and maintenance, and I know CB would help you out a great deal.
Here's the Internet Archives page for all the snapshots of Kittencorps.com in case you can use these when redesigning. https://web.archive.org/web/20150501000000*/http://kittencorps.com
That page has snapshots of every page on there, or at least it should. I don't know if you can copy and paste things onto the new version once we bring it back, but you can use it as a guide.
Why didn't CB warn us the site was going under? We could've planned for this all already.
CB has been working on his own Kickstarter project, along with a lot of things going on in his life. He's just a very busy man. I know it's not personal- he was such a huuuuge help for many many months. He probably needed to make a few cuts to his priorities.
But thanks for finding those snapshots, zem! That will help a lot!
There are a lot of super easy templates out there, Geist. But again- money. Basic ones are cheap, and you can usually find a promo code out there. Again-I'd love to help out financially, but I am just very strapped right now.
Two other things- had lunch at Google offices today. Super fun! (And free) and Leo drank coffee. I walked in kitchen and he was drinking from cup. If I make it through today, it will be a miracle. #psychokitty
Wait. Leo is a coffee drinker?
I don't blame in Creeper. He really did a lot of the heavy lifting when the site was first active. He is always welcome to come here and say "Hi". I worry about him.
One last thing: I read the update on his KS. I am aware of some of the trials he is going through. I wish him nothing but the best and if he needs to vent or some help, I'm sure those of us here would be happy to help out as best they can.
Wow, you guys have been busy. Thanks to the muscle relaxer I took for my back, I have been in a droopy, relaxed, sleep filled day so far. Probably going back to bed.
Geist, I've had to be put under a few times for surgeries. It's really not bad. Kind of fun actually. Get a good dose of knock out stuff then wake up with problem fixed. Little recovery and rehab. Good as new.
As for computer/Interwebz stuff, I'm useless. Hell, I had to go to a friend to find out how to use my smartphone when I first got one. I couldn't even make a call with it,lol.
