Zem, what is AZADS?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-16T17:09:40-04:00
Again? I thought even you were around the last time we had to explain it.
All Zem All Day Show. I noticed once that most weekends I'll be the only person here for over 24 hours in a row, so I declared it the All Zem All Nite Show marathon. Now every time I'm alone for this long, I invoke the unholy name of AZANS or AZADS.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-16T17:10:07-04:00
But now you interrupted the marathon, so you win.

Brunch wad cancelled. Went to the movies. 4 movies back to back. Not a stinker in the bunch.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-16T18:51:26-04:00
Ooh, an official logo? Fancy!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-16T21:06:48-04:00
still doing my taxes.... debating chances of me getting audited if i claim a loss on my business again. It's such a tiny tiny business, and the loss is a very narrow margin.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-17T13:35:42-04:00
How is Leo doing Creeper? Have you considered coming to the Canada Halloween party?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-17T13:45:30-04:00
Afternoon, I meant afternoon, of course; it's a weekend.
Also, Dang! So close to declaring this morning a victory as well!
`
Also, Creeper, it's mandatory to go to Canada this october if you're able at all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-17T17:09:58-04:00
I guess it's just going to be me, my cheetos, and my youtube again today.
Well, the cheetos weren't a feature yesterday, but they sure as heck are now!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-17T22:55:44-04:00
Hey guys, what should I draw on my whiteboard on my door? I had a great idea, but I can't remember it now.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-18T08:13:08-04:00
Morning kittens.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T09:16:13-04:00
Good morning kittens!
@Zem, you should draw Theodore Roosevelt riding a moose, fighting Poutin riding a bear! Just putting that out there... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T09:37:35-04:00
Morning CB & BaKhan. How was your weekend? I watched The Jungle Book, Zootopia, Batman vs Superman and 10 Cloverfield Lane. Only BvS was the weakest movie. (I didn't have to pay for it so I can't bitch too much)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T09:44:12-04:00
@Geist, not too bad, my wife went down to visit her family so I had the house to myself! ;) Had some friends over on Saturday, made some steaks, potatoes, ceaser salad and garlic bread (I love me some garlic!), and we watched the new Star Wars movie, one of my friends hadn't even seen it yet! How was the Jungle book? Growing up it was one of my favourites! BvS, quite frankly looks dumb, I'm sure it has some great action scenes, but seriously Batman would have his clock cleaned by Superman in about 1/2 a second. The other thing is, why for the love of pete, doesn't superman have some folks round up all the cryptonite, and then have it destroyed? Its his only weakness, duh!?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T10:09:23-04:00
Re: BvS
You described it perfectly. A few good fight scenes (toward the end of the movie) but not much going on in between. My thing is that unlike the Marvel movies, this feels rushed. There is litterly a scene in the movie where the next 4 superheros get a cameo and it's like DC was saying "We don't have time to spend billions building each movie franchise so we are going to show you who will be in the Justice League and leave it at that".
As far as Cryptonite is concerned: Superman didn't know that there were any surviving rocks left. At least that is what it seems like in the movie. The more puzzling question is why Superman would let us humans tear apart Zod's ship knowing we would probably use it for evil.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T10:11:28-04:00
For my board art suggestions, please keep in mind I can't draw better than even a 3 year old with a muddy stick. Poutin(e) is out of the question, sadly. ;)
@Geist, I saw a preview a couple of weeks ago at the theatre and thought, I can wait for blu ray on that one. I mean, its a superhero movie, so I'm sure I will like some aspects of it, but the premise is pretty weak in my opinion.
Depending on how the day goes, I may have a working lunch. =/
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T11:26:37-04:00
Nah mate. You need to step away from your desk. Trust me. I've worked plenty of working lunches and it usually isn't worth it. Especially now that the weather is much nicer.
@Geist: I would love to, but since I'm running both the US and Canadian payrolls this week, and have 2.5 days to do both, I unfortunately don't get that luxury. I do however, get to take a longer lunch on Thur/Fri due to it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T11:40:17-04:00
Ah. Then that's alright then. As long as you don't spend all 5 days never getting away from your desk.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T11:44:55-04:00
Btw GM, I was reading some of the comments on the jacket campaign. Seemed like hit or miss as far as how some people are feeling about what they got. Some people erred on the side of getting a slightly larger size and find that their jacket fits perfect. Maybe that is why there have been so many complaints. The European size charts are different then what it is in the west.
As far as the shipping charge: I've been noticing more campaigns charging double for shipping. One campaign I'm keeping my eye claims to be based in Canada but is charging $27 dollars to ship within Canada. Something about that doesn't sound right.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T11:46:06-04:00
Okay, so I think the apocalypse is coming for realz guys! Axel Rose is going to be touring as lead singer for AC/DC! What? Why!?! No!!!!
@Geist: Which campaign is that? Also, with the jacket, I ended up ordering the LT, and it's right in the shoulder where it is way too tight, the length is good, but due to how tight it is in the shoulder/underarm area, I can't even do it up. And it's a Blazer.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T11:58:02-04:00
@GM:
This is the campaign. I really want this but don't know if I wanna pay so much for shipping.
@Geist: It's $37 to ship in Canada, I just clicked on one of the pledge levels. That is REALLY pricy. Not to mention, you're talking over $100 retail for plastic half-globes? That's ridiculous. I highly doubt it will sell very well(taken from the pledge level for others here to see "Save $80.95 off expected Retail ($139.95)")
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T12:22:35-04:00
Actually GM, I was thinking that it would help make the kind of snowmen found in a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Just carve out the mouth, add a knife or two, some red dye and instant laughs.
As for the shipping, aw hell no. I'll wait until there is a knock off or they try to sell through Amazon in which case it would be cheaper.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T12:42:02-04:00
@Geist, well mostly because of the douche nozzle aspect, and I don't think that Axel fits with the image of AC/DC very well. I see them as straight forward, bad ass music, as opposed to douchey/whiney. Who knows?
Also, paying for snowman molds is just weird, isn't the making them at least 90% of the fun of them, the other 10% of course is their destruction... ;) I'm pretty ocd and even I wouldn't want a "perfect" snowman...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T13:48:08-04:00
BaKhan, I'd say it's more like 0% in the setup and 150% the destruction! I only make snowmen to blow them up or cut them to pieces! As a kid, I made dozens of tiny ones and would have alot of fun thinking of ways to destroy them.
Wait... does that say something about me?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T14:21:15-04:00
@BaKhan: Axel wouldn't look good in a school boy uniform anyway but I guess they needed someone to fill in. Maybe they should have picked Eddie Hagar?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T14:31:28-04:00
@Geist, Sammy Hagar? Maybe, I was thinking there must be a tribute band out there with a good singer that they could use. Someone who really wants it, you know?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T14:42:39-04:00
1) Statement 2 is false.
2) Statement 3 is true.
3) This statement is a lie.
`
Or alternately,
1) Statement 2 is true.
2) Statement 3 is false.
3) This statement is a lie.
`
Is there any way these work out? ;)
I was just watching a game of 2 truths one lie, and that just sprung to mind. I wonder if I can polish it so that they work in some case, but it takes way too much thought to understand.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T15:17:58-04:00
Wait, yet again, monday starts the week off cold, even rainy this time, but then it'll warm back up before the weekend! What the heck, nature?! Get some variation! You've done the same thing for like 2 months now, and the only difference is it's gotten warmer on average now by like 10 degrees in the beginning of the week. Not even the end of the week, just the beginning!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T15:20:49-04:00
I know that one, BaKhan, that's easy, especially with how much I go through logic puzzles on the internet and with a friend in computer science who loves them. (they explain computer logic and algorithms really well alot of the time with the procedural processes to answer them)
`
Mine is more difficult, and I think I've heard a variation of one of those before. I think in this form, they both just form paradoxes, which, knowing me, is what my brain actually intended and I really love doing! But, I want to find a way to make them into really difficult logic puzzles, and I can tell they have a good foundation for that. I'm just too tired and lazy today to try to figure it out.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T15:26:07-04:00
Curse you BaKhan. I had to go look up the answer since it wouldn't leave me alone.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-18T15:51:02-04:00
Actually, "This statement is a lie." is a paradox. If it's really a lie, then it's true. However, it if's true, then it's a lie, implying that a lie itself is true.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T15:53:11-04:00
I know about that one, CB, it's my favorite sentence. That's why I worked it into that collection of statements. Though I know there's a version of what I said that makes sense and I can't remember it.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-18T15:54:08-04:00
Looks like my wife and I picked the right movie to see last weekend. I just couldn't get my mind around Batman vs Superman and it looks like it's as lame as I thought it would be.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T15:58:18-04:00
Blarg! I just had to issue a written warning. Why is alcohol not allowed at work?!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T16:01:19-04:00
Batman v Superman wasn't as bad as I expected. I give it an overall positive review. Just be aware that it is slow and very heavy in places. There is frequently palpable hatred bleeding from the screen and out the speakers.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T16:03:09-04:00
I guess it's kind of like a hairball. When you see that it's there, you think it's a turd. Then you take a look and realize it's not as bad as you thought, and end up being glad it is what it is instead of what you thought it was.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T16:36:36-04:00
@LZ, that was awesome! I love it! And I'm stealing it! Its kinda the opposite of good from far, but far from good... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T16:36:59-04:00
So basically, LZ, it looks like shit, feels like shit, smells like shit, and tastes like shit, but it's not quite shit overall?
Cheech and Chong beg to differ!
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T16:40:11-04:00
Why is alcohol not allowed at work?!
I've asked myself that question for years. That should be a part of the benefits package
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T16:44:29-04:00
BvS was ok in places but I swear it felt so rushed in terms of introducing the upcoming Justice League.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T16:49:52-04:00
Alcohol should be mandatory at work!
Have I mentioned one of my bright ideas was to work as some quality control at a brewing company some day? I mean, good job, cool work, and- AND- you get paid a bit in FREE BEER! How cool is that? Every day you get some beer fresh off the lines! Virtually every company does that for all of its workers. They also nearly all allow some drinking at least during the lunch break.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T16:51:04-04:00
Maybe they should just allow straight alcohol IVs! Don't even bother with the drinking aspect, just push the button and let the stress slide away. Well, wobble away in a drunken stupor, but it still gets away eventually.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T16:52:53-04:00
If we were allowed to drink freely here at my work, there would be around 5 or 6 fist fights the first day! There are some personality types that don't work well together adding booze wouldn't improve that at all!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T17:31:33-04:00
I agree that throwing in who's going to be in the Justice League was rushed. I also noticed they threw around the word "meta-human," but didn't explain it at all.
Overall, I think the biggest cockroach in the ice cream was Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T17:37:01-04:00
I haven't seen it yet, but everyone knows that the BvS Luthor is really a terrible version of him.
`
Also, with that last comment about this, I really just wanted to use that Cheech and Chong sketch in an actual conversation! You never get that opportunity!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T17:37:08-04:00
As far as booze at work, you would definitely have to restrict it to happy drunks. They'd need to take a test or something to prove it and get a permit.
I forgot I found the PERFECT little quote/picture thing on Facebook the other day:
You do realize one day I'll snap, right?
Fits so well for how much stuff is being given to me WEEKS after it was submitted/taken effect.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T18:19:31-04:00
What the... A few weeks ago, I got 2.5 oreos in a 2 oreo package somehow! Just now I got 1.5 lifesaver mints in a single wrapper! I must have accidentally upped my luck stat at some point without knowing! Maybe got a specific "Foraging" skill or something that increased my random chance of finding 150% of the food in a given package! I am DEFINITELY someone you want in your party now!
Powers of Tesla 2016-04-18T20:26:24-04:00
Hi everyone. How are we doing tonight?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-18T20:26:41-04:00
Especially if you want a snack or have bad breath! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T20:52:25-04:00
Howdy, PoT! I'm doing good so far, but now I have some work to do, so...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T21:00:14-04:00
@LZ: I am neutral when it comes to Eisenberg's take on Lex Luther. And was his head shaving supposed forced or did it mean he was changing into a super villain?
So much confusion in the movie
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:00:28-04:00
Didn't I already sign up there? If that's the original sign-up doc, I already filled it out a couple weeks ago!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-18T21:00:45-04:00
Hello PoT. How is the house coming along?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:01:26-04:00
Wait, Luthor started out with hair, as in the comics, but didn't blame his hair loss (actually due to a printing error) on Superman, explaining why he was so angry at him all the time?! Stick to the canon, people!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T21:17:04-04:00
In the movie, the prison forced him to shave his head.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:27:41-04:00
Dang it, they missed the most crucial plot point of all of the Luthor sagas! Superman will pay for ruining his perfect, beautiful hair!
(the error was that during the coloration, I think it was, a person mistook him for one of his bald henchmen, and then they just rolled with it after that.)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:43:28-04:00
Regarding the Slack message just now about the beta, I sent something in to that doc weeks ago with no response. Now they're opening it publicly; should I re-enter my info to the doc just to be safe?
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T21:45:00-04:00
I would
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:48:36-04:00
Righty-ho, then.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T21:50:49-04:00
HOPEFULLY it works this time. Whizzeee... (that's like a really tired, lazy whoopee.)
Powers of Tesla 2016-04-18T21:59:30-04:00
Hi Geist. We're getting close. Trim carpenters finished today, carpet and maybe concrete tomorrow.
Powers of Tesla 2016-04-18T22:00:23-04:00
Has anyone else had a chance to play their expansion pack?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T22:04:06-04:00
I haven't yet. Everyone was busy last weekend but me. HOPEFULLY this weekend. This entire week is hopeful, I guess, judging by my comments. If I'm REALLY lucky... I might not even have a single class Thursday!!! In fact, that might be the day our lab section is going bowling! It's a tradition of that TA's. That alone should tell you what kind of guy he is. He's everyone's favorite lab TA ever.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-18T22:34:52-04:00
I've played it a few times
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-18T22:49:21-04:00
I will probably some this weekend, and my brother will come out to play with me over coffee thursday, hopefully.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-19T02:59:37-04:00
2 am and finished 5 more labs. Ah, the fun we have.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-19T04:26:51-04:00
Morning kittens. It feels so good to sleep with the window open now. So peaceful.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-19T09:16:04-04:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-19T09:45:20-04:00
Ah check run day. The time of the week where I wish I put my money where my mouth is and bring a flask to work.
Morning BaKhan. How is the weather up there?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-19T09:55:03-04:00
@Geist, sorry to hear that its that dreaded check run day again... The weather here is going to be awesome, its 54F right now, but headed up to 81F! Pretty spectacular for this time of year. Normally the high would be in the 50's, so at least theres that! I just started a juice fast today, comicon is at the end of the month here, and my wife wants to be in tip top shape.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-19T10:02:41-04:00
Hey, it's 51, here! Headed up to a whopping 67! Ooh, boy!
Then again, just like the last two months, it's cold at the beginning of the week, but going to get up almost to 80 by the end. Every single week has been nearly the same for 2 MONTHS!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-19T10:03:32-04:00
Also, though I can't blame myself for staying up till 2 am doing work, nothing better than waking up and realizing you straight up slept through your first class.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-19T10:27:35-04:00
Check run day always sucks. I am so glad when it's over and I haven't f'd anything up.
Morning GM.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-19T10:31:15-04:00
I hate it that they put the beta test players in a separate pool from the regular app. Since they did that, I have NOT been able to start up a random pickup game in a finite amount of time. Nothing but crickets. They really need to come up with a better way to get a game going without having to create a code.
I want someone to invent liquid sleep. Something you could drink that would make you feel like you got a full nights sleep. I don't want jittery over sugared "energy" drinks. I just want to feel like I actually slept. So tired right now.
I might be regretting this...........
Zem, what is AZADS?

So, this was a great AZAD/NS marathon, people! I'm taking a quick long nap, so we'll see if it's still all me all day in the morning.
nope
still doing my taxes.... debating chances of me getting audited if i claim a loss on my business again. It's such a tiny tiny business, and the loss is a very narrow margin.

@Zem, you should draw Theodore Roosevelt riding a moose, fighting Poutin riding a bear! Just putting that out there... ;)
Morning CB & BaKhan. How was your weekend? I watched The Jungle Book, Zootopia, Batman vs Superman and 10 Cloverfield Lane. Only BvS was the weakest movie. (I didn't have to pay for it so I can't bitch too much)
@Geist, not too bad, my wife went down to visit her family so I had the house to myself! ;) Had some friends over on Saturday, made some steaks, potatoes, ceaser salad and garlic bread (I love me some garlic!), and we watched the new Star Wars movie, one of my friends hadn't even seen it yet!

Morning kittens. Is it time to go home yet?
@Geist, I saw a preview a couple of weeks ago at the theatre and thought, I can wait for blu ray on that one. I mean, its a superhero movie, so I'm sure I will like some aspects of it, but the premise is pretty weak in my opinion.
I've heard mostly bad things about BvS. Glad my friend and I decided to go see Zootopia instead last time we went to the movies. It was a good movie.
@GM: Completely agree. Zootopia was so good and funny. Check out The Jungle Book. Very entertaining.
And no, it's not time to go home yet. You've got another 6 1/2 hours.
Actually...I think I have closer to 7.5 hours. >.<
@GM: Minus lunch break?
Depending on how the day goes, I may have a working lunch. =/
Nah mate. You need to step away from your desk. Trust me. I've worked plenty of working lunches and it usually isn't worth it. Especially now that the weather is much nicer.
@Geist: I would love to, but since I'm running both the US and Canadian payrolls this week, and have 2.5 days to do both, I unfortunately don't get that luxury. I do however, get to take a longer lunch on Thur/Fri due to it.
Ah. Then that's alright then. As long as you don't spend all 5 days never getting away from your desk.
Btw GM, I was reading some of the comments on the jacket campaign. Seemed like hit or miss as far as how some people are feeling about what they got. Some people erred on the side of getting a slightly larger size and find that their jacket fits perfect. Maybe that is why there have been so many complaints. The European size charts are different then what it is in the west.
As far as the shipping charge: I've been noticing more campaigns charging double for shipping. One campaign I'm keeping my eye claims to be based in Canada but is charging $27 dollars to ship within Canada. Something about that doesn't sound right.
Okay, so I think the apocalypse is coming for realz guys! Axel Rose is going to be touring as lead singer for AC/DC! What? Why!?! No!!!!
@Geist: Which campaign is that? Also, with the jacket, I ended up ordering the LT, and it's right in the shoulder where it is way too tight, the length is good, but due to how tight it is in the shoulder/underarm area, I can't even do it up. And it's a Blazer.
@GM:
This is the campaign. I really want this but don't know if I wanna pay so much for shipping.

@BaKhan: Besides Axle being a douche nozzle in RL, why is that a bad thing?
That kind of takes the fun out of snowman making. Personally, I think they shouldn't be perfectly round like that.
@Geist: It's $37 to ship in Canada, I just clicked on one of the pledge levels. That is REALLY pricy. Not to mention, you're talking over $100 retail for plastic half-globes? That's ridiculous. I highly doubt it will sell very well(taken from the pledge level for others here to see "Save $80.95 off expected Retail ($139.95)")
Actually GM, I was thinking that it would help make the kind of snowmen found in a Calvin and Hobbes comic. Just carve out the mouth, add a knife or two, some red dye and instant laughs.
As for the shipping, aw hell no. I'll wait until there is a knock off or they try to sell through Amazon in which case it would be cheaper.
@Geist, well mostly because of the douche nozzle aspect, and I don't think that Axel fits with the image of AC/DC very well. I see them as straight forward, bad ass music, as opposed to douchey/whiney. Who knows?
Also, paying for snowman molds is just weird, isn't the making them at least 90% of the fun of them, the other 10% of course is their destruction... ;) I'm pretty ocd and even I wouldn't want a "perfect" snowman...
BaKhan, I'd say it's more like 0% in the setup and 150% the destruction! I only make snowmen to blow them up or cut them to pieces! As a kid, I made dozens of tiny ones and would have alot of fun thinking of ways to destroy them.
Wait... does that say something about me?
@BaKhan: Axel wouldn't look good in a school boy uniform anyway but I guess they needed someone to fill in. Maybe they should have picked Eddie Hagar?
@Geist, Sammy Hagar? Maybe, I was thinking there must be a tribute band out there with a good singer that they could use. Someone who really wants it, you know?
1) Statement 2 is false.
2) Statement 3 is true.
3) This statement is a lie.
`
Or alternately,
1) Statement 2 is true.
2) Statement 3 is false.
3) This statement is a lie.
`
Is there any way these work out? ;)
I was just watching a game of 2 truths one lie, and that just sprung to mind. I wonder if I can polish it so that they work in some case, but it takes way too much thought to understand.
@Zem, http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/2188/two-doors-with-two-guards-one-lies-one-tells-the-truth
Wait, yet again, monday starts the week off cold, even rainy this time, but then it'll warm back up before the weekend! What the heck, nature?! Get some variation! You've done the same thing for like 2 months now, and the only difference is it's gotten warmer on average now by like 10 degrees in the beginning of the week. Not even the end of the week, just the beginning!
I know that one, BaKhan, that's easy, especially with how much I go through logic puzzles on the internet and with a friend in computer science who loves them. (they explain computer logic and algorithms really well alot of the time with the procedural processes to answer them)
`
Mine is more difficult, and I think I've heard a variation of one of those before. I think in this form, they both just form paradoxes, which, knowing me, is what my brain actually intended and I really love doing! But, I want to find a way to make them into really difficult logic puzzles, and I can tell they have a good foundation for that. I'm just too tired and lazy today to try to figure it out.
Curse you BaKhan. I had to go look up the answer since it wouldn't leave me alone.
Actually, "This statement is a lie." is a paradox. If it's really a lie, then it's true. However, it if's true, then it's a lie, implying that a lie itself is true.
I know about that one, CB, it's my favorite sentence. That's why I worked it into that collection of statements. Though I know there's a version of what I said that makes sense and I can't remember it.
Looks like my wife and I picked the right movie to see last weekend. I just couldn't get my mind around Batman vs Superman and it looks like it's as lame as I thought it would be.
Blarg! I just had to issue a written warning. Why is alcohol not allowed at work?!
Batman v Superman wasn't as bad as I expected. I give it an overall positive review. Just be aware that it is slow and very heavy in places. There is frequently palpable hatred bleeding from the screen and out the speakers.
I guess it's kind of like a hairball. When you see that it's there, you think it's a turd. Then you take a look and realize it's not as bad as you thought, and end up being glad it is what it is instead of what you thought it was.
@LZ, that was awesome! I love it! And I'm stealing it! Its kinda the opposite of good from far, but far from good... ;)
So basically, LZ, it looks like shit, feels like shit, smells like shit, and tastes like shit, but it's not quite shit overall?
Cheech and Chong beg to differ!

Why is alcohol not allowed at work?!
I've asked myself that question for years. That should be a part of the benefits package
BvS was ok in places but I swear it felt so rushed in terms of introducing the upcoming Justice League.
I'm in the boat of allowing alcohol at work. Like right now. A 2L bottle...please!
And Kickstarter just ate my comment.
Alcohol should be mandatory at work!
Have I mentioned one of my bright ideas was to work as some quality control at a brewing company some day? I mean, good job, cool work, and- AND- you get paid a bit in FREE BEER! How cool is that? Every day you get some beer fresh off the lines! Virtually every company does that for all of its workers. They also nearly all allow some drinking at least during the lunch break.
Maybe they should just allow straight alcohol IVs! Don't even bother with the drinking aspect, just push the button and let the stress slide away. Well, wobble away in a drunken stupor, but it still gets away eventually.
If we were allowed to drink freely here at my work, there would be around 5 or 6 fist fights the first day! There are some personality types that don't work well together adding booze wouldn't improve that at all!
I agree that throwing in who's going to be in the Justice League was rushed. I also noticed they threw around the word "meta-human," but didn't explain it at all.
Overall, I think the biggest cockroach in the ice cream was Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor.
I haven't seen it yet, but everyone knows that the BvS Luthor is really a terrible version of him.
`
Also, with that last comment about this, I really just wanted to use that Cheech and Chong sketch in an actual conversation! You never get that opportunity!
As far as booze at work, you would definitely have to restrict it to happy drunks. They'd need to take a test or something to prove it and get a permit.
I forgot I found the PERFECT little quote/picture thing on Facebook the other day:
You do realize one day I'll snap, right?
Fits so well for how much stuff is being given to me WEEKS after it was submitted/taken effect.
What the... A few weeks ago, I got 2.5 oreos in a 2 oreo package somehow! Just now I got 1.5 lifesaver mints in a single wrapper! I must have accidentally upped my luck stat at some point without knowing! Maybe got a specific "Foraging" skill or something that increased my random chance of finding 150% of the food in a given package! I am DEFINITELY someone you want in your party now!
Hi everyone. How are we doing tonight?
Especially if you want a snack or have bad breath! ;)
Howdy, PoT! I'm doing good so far, but now I have some work to do, so...
If you want to beta test the mobile app, you can sign up here:

@LZ: I am neutral when it comes to Eisenberg's take on Lex Luther. And was his head shaving supposed forced or did it mean he was changing into a super villain?
So much confusion in the movie
Didn't I already sign up there? If that's the original sign-up doc, I already filled it out a couple weeks ago!
Hello PoT. How is the house coming along?
Wait, Luthor started out with hair, as in the comics, but didn't blame his hair loss (actually due to a printing error) on Superman, explaining why he was so angry at him all the time?! Stick to the canon, people!
In the movie, the prison forced him to shave his head.
Dang it, they missed the most crucial plot point of all of the Luthor sagas! Superman will pay for ruining his perfect, beautiful hair!
(the error was that during the coloration, I think it was, a person mistook him for one of his bald henchmen, and then they just rolled with it after that.)
Regarding the Slack message just now about the beta, I sent something in to that doc weeks ago with no response. Now they're opening it publicly; should I re-enter my info to the doc just to be safe?
I would
Righty-ho, then.
HOPEFULLY it works this time. Whizzeee... (that's like a really tired, lazy whoopee.)
Hi Geist. We're getting close. Trim carpenters finished today, carpet and maybe concrete tomorrow.
Has anyone else had a chance to play their expansion pack?
I haven't yet. Everyone was busy last weekend but me. HOPEFULLY this weekend. This entire week is hopeful, I guess, judging by my comments. If I'm REALLY lucky... I might not even have a single class Thursday!!! In fact, that might be the day our lab section is going bowling! It's a tradition of that TA's. That alone should tell you what kind of guy he is. He's everyone's favorite lab TA ever.
I've played it a few times
I will probably some this weekend, and my brother will come out to play with me over coffee thursday, hopefully.
2 am and finished 5 more labs. Ah, the fun we have.
Morning kittens. It feels so good to sleep with the window open now. So peaceful.
Good Morning Kittens!
Ah check run day. The time of the week where I wish I put my money where my mouth is and bring a flask to work.
Morning BaKhan. How is the weather up there?
@Geist, sorry to hear that its that dreaded check run day again... The weather here is going to be awesome, its 54F right now, but headed up to 81F! Pretty spectacular for this time of year. Normally the high would be in the 50's, so at least theres that! I just started a juice fast today, comicon is at the end of the month here, and my wife wants to be in tip top shape.
Hey, it's 51, here! Headed up to a whopping 67! Ooh, boy!
Then again, just like the last two months, it's cold at the beginning of the week, but going to get up almost to 80 by the end. Every single week has been nearly the same for 2 MONTHS!!!
Also, though I can't blame myself for staying up till 2 am doing work, nothing better than waking up and realizing you straight up slept through your first class.
Morning kittens.
Check run day always sucks. I am so glad when it's over and I haven't f'd anything up.
Morning GM.
I hate it that they put the beta test players in a separate pool from the regular app. Since they did that, I have NOT been able to start up a random pickup game in a finite amount of time. Nothing but crickets. They really need to come up with a better way to get a game going without having to create a code.
I should almost keep a small bottle of Baileys' at work for my morning coffee some days.
I have a recipe to make my own Bailey's. I'm going to try it next month. Hopefully it will be really tasty.
Btw, I tried this and it's tasty. A little on the sweet side but great if you want to mix it with other fruit.

I want someone to invent liquid sleep. Something you could drink that would make you feel like you got a full nights sleep. I don't want jittery over sugared "energy" drinks. I just want to feel like I actually slept. So tired right now.
