How had I never seen "Wrongfully Accused" with Leslie Nielsen before today?! For that matter, how have I still not seen Mr. Magoo?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-02T06:46:37-04:00
Morning kittens. Another rainy week. This weather is making me so sleepy. No amount of caffeine is helping
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T09:05:29-04:00
Well, geist, the weekend looks like it'll be warmer here, meaning early next week will start perking up for you. But yeah, altogether way too cold for may!
Damion Meyer 2016-05-02T10:59:40-04:00
I'm not sure if this is a global bug or limited to just my device. Sometimes when I drag a card up from my hand, it freezes before it gets to the discard pile. It just sits on my screen and I can't move it, either to the discard pile or back to my hand. Often when this happens, it will happen to other cards that I try and drag, creating sort of a chain reaction. I lost two games today that I would have won if I'd had the card available.
It's happened with cards I want to put in the discard pile and also with cards I'm just shuffling around in my hand. I've lost skips, slaps, steals, and defuses (the last one is particularly annoying). I haven't been able to work out the precise conditions that cause it. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it or at least avoid it?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T11:59:52-04:00
Good morning kittens! Whats new?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T12:11:31-04:00
@CB, you have my deepest sympathies. I just can't even. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T12:20:05-04:00
I just got a 92% on an exam in a class where even a passing grade is virtually unheard of! It'll throw off the curve, but this TA is the best for this class ever! Because of him, the averages aren't averaging about 50% every single test!
Not the final, the previous exam from under 2 weeks ago we just got handed back. I just did almost as well on the final as well!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T12:21:39-04:00
Damion, of all the bugs I've had, that isn't one of them. Is there a way to report the bug? I'd look for one and give the team a heads-up!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T12:30:14-04:00
I've heard of that bug. It has happened a few times to folks using Android tablets.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T12:49:41-04:00
I picked a bad week to launch the KS. My lab is being inspected on Friday... *groan*
Definitely bad timing....these next few weeks are going to be tough. =/
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T13:21:27-04:00
Me too. Finals week is the best! Gotta love it. I almost had 3 finals on one day before one was moved to last week! 5 in total, 4 this week.
At least all that's required on my part for the KS is forking over all my money.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T13:46:31-04:00
@GM, best of luck!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T14:11:31-04:00
Yep, it'll be launching this week.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T14:18:39-04:00
We'll try to spread the word as much as possible once it's up! I hope we can do enough to kickstart the Hot Sauce Empire!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T14:19:20-04:00
So do I
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T14:21:46-04:00
@LZ, do you know which day yet?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T14:24:16-04:00
What day this week will it start up?
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T14:49:27-04:00
I don't know exactly yet. I should be able to submit it to Kickstarter this evening. It can take up to 3 days for approval
Hooray for last minute "You need to find a place to crash for the night...we can't walk on the floors for the next 8-10hours".
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T15:54:48-04:00
@GM, do you have a place yet? You can always crash at my place if you need to.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T16:09:32-04:00
I only wanted a half an hour nap, but I love sleeping so much I made it a full hour and then couldn't get out of bed for another 15 minutes. I hate myself sometimes.
I try to get up, but the bed just keeps pulling me back in!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-02T16:13:00-04:00
Woohoo! Hot sauce empire, here we...um, I mean, here he comes!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-02T16:13:38-04:00
How BaKahn! One more month and I buy my tickets to Canada. Maple syrup goodness will be mine!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T16:22:42-04:00
@Geist, thats awesome! I can't wait to get you guys up here! I don't have an exact plan yet, but I have a few ideas on how to spoil you guys with maple. OMG! Can you make brittle with maple syrup? Think about this maple bacon brittle! Damn, I may have to quit work and make that a full time reality!
@BaKhan: Yeah, I've already found a place. My friend's mom even said that she would force him to sleep in the garage if more beds were needed.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T16:44:56-04:00
@GM, alright, just didn't like the idea of you being homeless for a night... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T16:47:59-04:00
Its a thing! And no ones done it yet! At least with the bacon in it! OMG!!! Sorry guys.... I may be a bit excited about it. Say it five times fast, maple bacon brittle... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T17:00:33-04:00
I'm already way too hungry, bakhan, don't pressure me like this!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-02T17:11:14-04:00
@Zem, come on man! Maple bacon brittle! Oh yes, it will be a thing! I may use it to take over the world!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T17:33:47-04:00
Throw it in with the Hot Sauce Empire. We'll have a KC Foods Inc..
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-02T19:29:43-04:00
@BaKhan: if you do make that maple bacon brittle, I'll have to move into your house permanently
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:08:53-04:00
Wai-wha-WHOOO!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:11:00-04:00
Ha! Beat you to it! First comment! And it said first backer, though it also said there was one backer before me?
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T21:12:00-04:00
Pfft! I backed before I shared the link here!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T21:12:28-04:00
I need to get shipping info for Canada
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:12:46-04:00
It showed another backer on the campaign page, but:
"Woo-hoo!
You are now an official backer of Brimstone Hot Sauce.
You're the first backer of this project!"
`
Also... FIRST!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:13:18-04:00
You backed your own campaign? Pfft! Way to pad the scores! That's insider trading!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T21:15:54-04:00
Of course I did. I gotta be able to comment, you know!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:18:06-04:00
You made a new account for it? You could back it twice just to really set the bar rollin!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:23:38-04:00
Oooooh! That $10,000 tier looks AMAZING! All I need is for my bank account to multiply several times and I'll buy it! So basically I'll buy it if you bum me just a few thousand dollars. Just a measly $10,000-ish, say.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T21:31:30-04:00
I wish I could back at that level! Of course, I wouldn't. I just wish I could.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:47:14-04:00
Just put something really funny on my board that evolved over the last couple days:
""""You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
-Wayne Gretzky"
-Michael Scott"
-Collin Victor (my roommate)"
-Micah Philson
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T21:49:31-04:00
Yeah, I kinda wish I could throw in a couple hundred dollars to really give it a kick in the butt. I really wish I had a few thousand to donate just because of the implications of actually having money.
Hope you get that amount of money from hot sauce, LZ!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-02T21:50:54-04:00
BaKhan and GM, I don't have Canadian shipping info, but if you back the project as it is, I'll bring you your sauce in October.
David Guidry "Doc" 2016-05-02T21:53:15-04:00
Haha I can only afford the $20.... but we'll worth it...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T22:04:50-04:00
Yessir, Doc, we'll worth the heck out of it! ;)
I can only get the $20 as well, though if 300 people had already somehow donated, I'd definitely pay the $25 to get it. Plus $9 for shipping; that's the real killer. Still totally worth it!
David Guidry "Doc" 2016-05-02T22:10:03-04:00
Yah I need more of this sauce in my life right meow
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-02T22:30:37-04:00
Wait, put which of our comments in the campaign section? Everything praising the sauces for being so freaking magical? Well, not all of them, of course, but a good variety?
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T00:18:44-04:00
Yes..I'm still alive.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T00:20:31-04:00
And jonesin' for some hot sauce!!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T00:50:12-04:00
Well, goodnight all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T01:12:14-04:00
Hi, Trinkets!
Yay, hot sauce!
Bye, Trinkets!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T07:24:42-04:00
And on a side note...this is too early for me to be in at work. I normally don't get in for another ~hour...but since I crashed at my friends place last night, and his mom was driving in, I got in early. Though, it does mean I get to leave early as well...so in a way it's good.
Morning all! GM- did you get your donut? I got mine so fast!!
And not that I'm happy this one project was cancelled- I know the woman had good intentions- but the Eat Like a Gilmore cookbook was cancelled due to copyright infringement. I backed it originally and asked them if they had permission to use images, etc, and essentially make money off the shows name. They didn't respond, and other commenters kept saying "I don't know why you're worried, she's not saying she's from the show or anything." .....sure enough, I looked at my canceled pledges- it's blank, and has a letter from Warner brothers instead. Again- not that I'm happy it was cancelled- but I'm having a major TOLD YOU SO moment
And this was after it was funded! So who knows if people will be getting all their money back. It got SO much press and yet no one seemed to ask "do you have permission??"
@Creeper: I haven't received mine yet. It could take a few weeks longer because of the needing to go through customs. Plus, I'm having it delivered to the office.
I saw that cook book, thought it would be a good present for my sister(glad I didn't back it now) since she has been binge watching that show on Netflix.
I love the show so much and have always thought they should have a cookbook. I really wanted it to be a thing- but I just had this red flag in my head waving "NOPE" when the legal issues didn't seem to be a concern for anyone.
I actually ordered three of them(two black and 1 white) all with the adapters. I plan on using them under my desk to keep all the cords sorted better. Well, two of them for that, one for when I do travel.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T11:02:57-04:00
Morning kittens!
@Creeper: Are the creators posting any messages about how they will fix this or whether or not they will offer refunds?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-03T11:25:04-04:00
@Geist, Oh I'm making the maple bacon brittle, oh yes, its on! ;) I don't know how this isn't already a thing!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T11:27:25-04:00
*starts packing all my possessions* Welp. It looks like I'll be staying in Canada after all.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-03T11:55:09-04:00
@Geist, lol! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T14:37:29-04:00
Hot sauce maple bacon brittle!!!
Wait... ew?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T14:38:31-04:00
Long Live the HSMBBE!!! Hot Sauce Maple Bacon Brittle Empire!!!
(a Kitten Corps Enterprises company)
@Geist- I don't know. Since I dropped my pledge, I won't be receiving any updates. But the page is pretty much blank. No comments are seen or anything.
@Zem, I would like a maple bacon bourbon hot sauce though... just saying in case anyone who happens to be building a hot sauce empire wanted to make one... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T16:07:09-04:00
Maple Bacon Bourbon Hot Sauce Brittle for everyone!!!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T16:11:34-04:00
@BaKhan: So you'll be making enough so that I can take some home, right? It'll be the only way to get rid of me. That and some maple syrup.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T17:32:44-04:00
Howdy gang. I meant to stop in earlier and say hi, but we got real busy at work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T17:56:57-04:00
Hello again, Trinkets! Though you weren't around long enough to see my greeting yesterday, so I guess just Hello, Trinkets!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T18:22:38-04:00
I saw it early this morning but wasn't awake enough to type a coherent statement.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T18:37:18-04:00
Howdy Trinkets! You getting any of this rainy weather?
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T19:29:45-04:00
We've only had a half of an inch the last week or so, but we are expecting thunderstorms later this evening.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T19:32:13-04:00
I think KS ate my comment
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T19:39:55-04:00
Yep it did.
Anywho, I really want the rain. The Wisconsin fishing season opener is this Saturday. I live in a part of the state where there is a lot of cranberries grown. The cranberry growers all have dammed up ponds and marshes to hold the water for the cranberries. Years ago, all of the original growers sticked their ponds with bass, northern pike, bluegills, perch, crappies and more. We fish these ponds. This time of year, if the temperature gets to around freezing, they turn the sprinklers on to prevent the plants from freezing. This draws down some of the ponds water levels so low that we are unable to fish them. We still can fish on some of them, but not our favorite one. Usually lasts about a week and then they fill back up. I have been waiting since the last time I fished last october. Another week of waiting WILL kill me.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T19:40:26-04:00
*stocked
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T20:12:58-04:00
Geist, we really need the rain we got all last week here, but today and up through sunday was and will be sunny and in the 70s, even 85 on friday here (!!!), so you have that to look forward to.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T20:18:48-04:00
85!! That's almost too warm for May.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T20:19:45-04:00
@Trinkets: the best part about fishing is the drinking
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-03T20:20:50-04:00
Also, we can't fish here because of the mercury levels in the fish
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T20:27:34-04:00
That's perfectly normal for may, actually! A bit early, usually in late may, but that's only one day. It should be about 80 degrees now, but it's not. Just wait until late july, early august... 110 with up to 50%, even 60% humidity... while detasseling... gotta love Nebraska. -10? Sure! 110? Why not! I swear nature is bipolar here.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-03T20:28:37-04:00
LZ, what are your plans for advertising? I'm guessing it's going to take quite a bit to reach that goal.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-03T20:42:24-04:00
I have ordered some business cards. I want to see if I can go somewhere and have people taste it, and give them a card. I was hoping you all would tell your friends and family, as well.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-03T20:43:50-04:00
It's times like this that I wish I were famous, or at least really good friends with someone who is.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T20:58:24-04:00
LZ, I have shared it on twitters and the Facebooks. I plan on re sharing every other day or more.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T21:00:10-04:00
Geist, we fish for sport. Catch and release.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T21:04:45-04:00
Geist, I have been known to mix up a thermos of brandy old fashioneds.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-03T21:05:03-04:00

Hi, Trinkets!
Yay, hot sauce!
Bye, Trinkets!
A Trinkets sighting? And I missed it?
This is what I get for sleeping at night.
Morning kittens!

Okay...I'm in for the set.
And on a side note...this is too early for me to be in at work. I normally don't get in for another ~hour...but since I crashed at my friends place last night, and his mom was driving in, I got in early. Though, it does mean I get to leave early as well...so in a way it's good.
Yes LZ!! I'm in! I'll tweet it from kitten corps Twitter a little later today!
Good morning kittens!
I can't wait for later today when I get to go home. I can't stop yawning.
Morning all! GM- did you get your donut? I got mine so fast!!
And not that I'm happy this one project was cancelled- I know the woman had good intentions- but the Eat Like a Gilmore cookbook was cancelled due to copyright infringement.

They didn't respond, and other commenters kept saying "I don't know why you're worried, she's not saying she's from the show or anything." .....sure enough, I looked at my canceled pledges- it's blank, and has a letter from Warner brothers instead. Again- not that I'm happy it was cancelled- but I'm having a major TOLD YOU SO moment
And this was after it was funded! So who knows if people will be getting all their money back. It got SO much press and yet no one seemed to ask "do you have permission??"
@Creeper: I haven't received mine yet. It could take a few weeks longer because of the needing to go through customs. Plus, I'm having it delivered to the office.
I saw that cook book, thought it would be a good present for my sister(glad I didn't back it now) since she has been binge watching that show on Netflix.
I love the show so much and have always thought they should have a cookbook. I really wanted it to be a thing- but I just had this red flag in my head waving "NOPE" when the legal issues didn't seem to be a concern for anyone.
And- I love the donut. You'll be quite pleased with it. Smaller than I thought!
I actually ordered three of them(two black and 1 white) all with the adapters. I plan on using them under my desk to keep all the cords sorted better. Well, two of them for that, one for when I do travel.
Morning kittens!
@Creeper: Are the creators posting any messages about how they will fix this or whether or not they will offer refunds?
@Geist, Oh I'm making the maple bacon brittle, oh yes, its on! ;) I don't know how this isn't already a thing!
*starts packing all my possessions* Welp. It looks like I'll be staying in Canada after all.
@Geist, lol! ;)
Hot sauce maple bacon brittle!!!
Wait... ew?
Long Live the HSMBBE!!! Hot Sauce Maple Bacon Brittle Empire!!!
(a Kitten Corps Enterprises company)
The worst part about being at work earlier than normal...it's harder to focus earlier in the afternoon(like right now)
@Geist- I don't know. Since I dropped my pledge, I won't be receiving any updates. But the page is pretty much blank. No comments are seen or anything.
@Creeper: I can't even search for it anymore.
@Zem, I would like a maple bacon bourbon hot sauce though... just saying in case anyone who happens to be building a hot sauce empire wanted to make one... ;)
Maple Bacon Bourbon Hot Sauce Brittle for everyone!!!
@BaKhan: So you'll be making enough so that I can take some home, right? It'll be the only way to get rid of me. That and some maple syrup.
Howdy gang. I meant to stop in earlier and say hi, but we got real busy at work.
Hello again, Trinkets! Though you weren't around long enough to see my greeting yesterday, so I guess just Hello, Trinkets!
I saw it early this morning but wasn't awake enough to type a coherent statement.
Howdy Trinkets! You getting any of this rainy weather?
We've only had a half of an inch the last week or so, but we are expecting thunderstorms later this evening.
I think KS ate my comment
Yep it did.
Anywho, I really want the rain. The Wisconsin fishing season opener is this Saturday. I live in a part of the state where there is a lot of cranberries grown. The cranberry growers all have dammed up ponds and marshes to hold the water for the cranberries. Years ago, all of the original growers sticked their ponds with bass, northern pike, bluegills, perch, crappies and more. We fish these ponds. This time of year, if the temperature gets to around freezing, they turn the sprinklers on to prevent the plants from freezing. This draws down some of the ponds water levels so low that we are unable to fish them. We still can fish on some of them, but not our favorite one. Usually lasts about a week and then they fill back up. I have been waiting since the last time I fished last october. Another week of waiting WILL kill me.
*stocked
Geist, we really need the rain we got all last week here, but today and up through sunday was and will be sunny and in the 70s, even 85 on friday here (!!!), so you have that to look forward to.
85!! That's almost too warm for May.
@Trinkets: the best part about fishing is the drinking
Also, we can't fish here because of the mercury levels in the fish
That's perfectly normal for may, actually! A bit early, usually in late may, but that's only one day. It should be about 80 degrees now, but it's not. Just wait until late july, early august... 110 with up to 50%, even 60% humidity... while detasseling... gotta love Nebraska. -10? Sure! 110? Why not! I swear nature is bipolar here.
LZ, what are your plans for advertising? I'm guessing it's going to take quite a bit to reach that goal.
I have ordered some business cards. I want to see if I can go somewhere and have people taste it, and give them a card. I was hoping you all would tell your friends and family, as well.
It's times like this that I wish I were famous, or at least really good friends with someone who is.
LZ, I have shared it on twitters and the Facebooks. I plan on re sharing every other day or more.
Geist, we fish for sport. Catch and release.
Geist, I have been known to mix up a thermos of brandy old fashioneds.
And thunderstorm is upon us.
