What ever it is your talking about, it sounds delicious. I am hungry now.
Thanks @GM :)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T16:54:48-04:00
@Zem, I could try a spicy version, I'd have to use dry spices though, the hot sauce could be very dangerous! It would pretty much cause the syrup which is heated to 285F to explode! I did a pumpkin seed (pepita) brittle with chipotle spice for halloween last year, it went over pretty well.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T16:55:57-04:00
@Smashley, it is delicious, I may not be able to share! It was so hard to cook the bacon, and not just eat it, while I was getting the syrup heated! ;)
@BaKhan: If you ended up adding the hot sauce at the end, right before you lay it out in the sheet pan to cool it could possibly work better.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T16:58:21-04:00
@GM, that is what you do, like when you would add the vanilla to the traditional recipie, but the reaction of the cool sauce (even if it was at room temp) with the super heated syrup, would make it spit something fierce! As in, I would actually be scared to do it, without say a riot shield... ;)
Sweet gods that sounds delicious.
Kitten Cons are happening?! That's awesome. Did the forum finally start getting some use then?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T17:03:27-04:00
@Smashley, this will be the first one! The problem with the forum is most of us keep forgetting our passwords... >.>
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-09T17:04:16-04:00
Was it as good as we all dream it would be? Because I don't see how anything with bacon, much less maple bacon, much less maple bacon brittle, could be.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T17:06:27-04:00
@Zem, I won't lie. This is probably the greatest brain child I have ever or will ever have. This will be how I make my mark on the world, not with a bang, but with a delicious snap!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-09T17:29:00-04:00
Hey, the russians are here! Cool. I probably won't be on much for the rest of the day now.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-09T17:32:09-04:00
@Zem, Russians?
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-09T20:46:18-04:00
I see Smashly came back, and I wasn't here to plug my KS. Speaking of which, where is everyone else so I can do the same with them?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-10T05:41:33-04:00
I missed Smashly? Damn. That is what I get for sleeping.

Sick employee means I get the next few hours off. Then I get to go back and work the closing shift.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-10T14:48:40-04:00
@LZ, sorry to hear that! Hey, about those hot sauce bottle pics... most of the bottles are well over half empty. I'm not sure that you would want pics like that? I was contemplating pouring them out into different containers and then just mixing water to be close in color and taking pics that way. What do you think?
I'm a sick employee...does that mean someone will do the closing shift for me?...Which isn't really a closing shift.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-10T16:18:11-04:00
BaKhan, that would work, or you could pose the bottles next to delicious-looking food to imply the sauce is in the food.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-10T16:22:08-04:00
@LZ, Okay, I'll do my best foodie work and try and get you something by Thursday, is it cool if I use your email address that you sent me?
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-10T16:27:04-04:00
Yes, that's fine. Brimstone Instagram is now active.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-11T05:21:45-04:00
Morning kittens. We've had 13 consecutive days of rain. Don't know if today will be number 14. I feel like I should be living on a boat instead of an appointment
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-11T08:21:01-04:00
@Geist: If only you can send that rain way north...they could definitely still use rain.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-11T12:01:52-04:00
You can have these grey skies GM. It's so damn depressing. And it looks like the rain will stay with us for the rest of the week.
In other news, I'll be mixing up a batch of home made Bailey's Irish Cream. I got the coffee flavored cream part cooked and sitting in the fridge. All I need to add is the Jamison. Hopefully, this will taste much better than the store bought stuff.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-11T12:30:20-04:00
I'm back, mostly for good, but like I said this whole week is pretty busy until sunday. My brother's graduation, the Russian guests, etc. I'll try to be on more than normal, but you may notice this place seems completely empty on occasion. That's normal; it's what I see several times a week when I'm the only one here, but if I'm not here, like anytime outside of business hours will be completely empty.
"I'm still here, El Guapo!"

Jeff Sulz 2016-05-11T12:47:12-04:00
Thak you for any support for the alberta fort mcmurray fire. I am one of those who lost their house to the fire. My kitten decks were lost. I guess i couldnt nope this fire eh?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-11T14:45:34-04:00
I'm sorry for your loss Jeff. You'll be able to rebuild again, yes?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-11T17:50:11-04:00
@Jeff, I am so sorry to hear that! I hope that everything works out for you and your family! Just know that those of us in the south of Alberta care, and are doing what we can for you fine folks! Our thoughts are with you!

Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-12T08:39:37-04:00
Bringin them out to the Henry Doorly Zoo today. If I remember right it's the biggest zoo in area, second biggest in number of animals, and consistently the best rated zoo in the world! Love that place! I've been there dozens of times since it's just on the other side of Omaha, but I wonder what the kids will think of it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T08:53:35-04:00
Did you guys read about the KS campaign where half of the funds were used to build one of the co-creators a house?
With the exception of LZ's hot sauce, I think I will give up on KS. Way too easy to scam people.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T09:13:12-04:00
@Geist, I think that things are definitely in need of a change. It seems to be way too easy for these folks to fake a ks, and scam people. The real problem is that it is very hard for us as backers, because we're not technically consumers, so there isn't any protection that way. I can see a day coming soon where there will be legislation passed (in many countries) to try and protect backers, but as is typical when gov't steps in, it will kill this and other similar concepts as they won't be able to afford to continue to opperate. I think its pretty much inevitable. Hmmm thats a pretty dreary thought to start off the day.
On another note, Good morining kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T09:14:00-04:00
@LZ, sent you an email, with pics last night, hope you got it! Sadly, I also don't know if you'll be able to use them, due to the logo... :(
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T09:23:38-04:00
Morning BaKhan!
I think sites like Indigogo and Kickstarter can survive with new regulation to protect backers. It will hurt them if they don't do something because folks will stop supporting projects if they think there is less of a chance they will get anything out of it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T09:26:22-04:00
In other news, the dates for coming to Canada would be October 27th through November 1st. Is that OK with you BaKhan?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T09:28:13-04:00
@Geist, where I see the issue is that there will need to be an insurance, or some way of holding the creator accountable. That will inevitably cost money, either more from ks or more directly to the creator. This will take funds away from the ability of the small guys to make a ks as they wouldn't be able to afford that, I assuming. So either a campaign will have to be wildly successful, to cover those additional costs, or we will see more and more of them failing. The thing that kills me the most with ks, is that the companies that I want to support the most, the small guys, are the highest risk! It completely goes against the whole idea of crowd source funding. More and more, its turning into a way to skip retail, not to actually bring a product to life. Essentially, the only ones that would be able to have a successful ks, are the ones that don't actually need the funds. :(
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T09:30:21-04:00
@Geist, heck yes! I've already booked them off! Also, we need to collectively plan what you guys would like to do so I can start preparing some sort of itenerary. Getting things like transportation, additional housing, meals, etc., looked after. I know that we still have around 5 months, but I like to be prepared. Rushing around and scrambling at the last minute make me grumpy! ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T09:39:05-04:00
@Geist, on a side note, I'll probably have to start whipping my liver into shape... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T10:22:08-04:00
@BaKhan: The trip to Baniff sounds nice. Plus, I could explore your fair city while I'm there.That would eat up 2 - 3 days by itself. If there are any used bookstores in your region, I'd love to visit them.
I'm pretty easy to please.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T10:22:58-04:00
On a side note, I'll probably eat my weight in Bacon Maple Brittle and short bread cookies.
*digs out stretchy stretch pants*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T10:23:24-04:00
@Geist, Calgary has a ton of used book stores! I was just thinking we should figure out planned events, and free time, meals, etc.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T10:27:29-04:00
@Geist, my wife has already eaten about half of the first batch that I made... Is it good, nope, it friken effen a amazing! ;) If I say so myself...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T10:53:59-04:00
You might have a new business venture BaKhan. If I pass some out to the people here and they love it, I'm sure they will want more. I can even be your sales rep.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T10:55:39-04:00
Also, you'll have to tell me what will be happening around the time I arrive. I can look it up but as a native, you'd know better than me. We'd have to figure out what days we could go to Baniff and the other city you metioned.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-12T11:25:05-04:00
Blarg! Oh well, at least the guy was cool about it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T11:37:39-04:00
@Geist, I'm actually thinking about it. So many ways I could go with it, why not ks? The real challange will be getting it approved and figuring out how to ship a food product around the world.
I'll see if I can get a list of whats going on by the time you arrive. The Banff trip is for sure (no i) and Drumheller will be pending till I know how many want to go. But we still have lots of options! ;)
@BaKhan: Let me get an list of events happening from Phil. He should be able to get that quite easily, since he works at a hotel he is supposed to know after all. :P
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T12:16:43-04:00
Maybe I could still convince Creeper to go.
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-12T13:47:18-04:00
What do you guys think of these: CapSassination, Purgatory, Fires of Purgatory, or Vulcan of Purgatory?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T14:24:34-04:00
@LZ, what about LZ's Spooky Sauce? ;) Seriously though, I was trying to brain storm some names for you myself, wasn't really happy with any of them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T14:25:47-04:00
@LZ, so that means you guys are in for some Dino action?
@GM, that would be great, whatever I can get off of my plate would be a real help. Especially as I'm pretty much a shut in... ;)
@Geist, that would be awesome if Creeper could come too!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-12T14:32:29-04:00
Dino action is always cool
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T14:56:41-04:00
@LZ: I like CapSassination. That sounds really cool.
I would double check to see if anyone has the rights to Purgatory and Fires of Purgatory. Something tells me that might already be taken.
Vulcan of Purgatory might get you a letter from the Star Trek folks. Double check to see if the use of "Vulcan" is in the public domain.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T15:05:00-04:00
@Geist, lol!
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-12T15:26:19-04:00
Vulcan was the Roman god of fire. I checked on Purgatory and Fires of Purgatory. Purgatory is in use for beer, distilled spirits, shoes, and clothes, but not hot sauce. Fires of Purgatory isn't active in the registry.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T15:41:07-04:00
@LZ, out of curiosity, did you like the pictures I took of the sauces?
Lord Zombitten 2016-05-12T15:47:48-04:00
Yes, those were good.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-05-12T16:28:15-04:00
@LZ, what about Soulfire?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-12T16:43:40-04:00
@LZ: I know that but don't be surprised if you get a little call from the Star Trek folks. If you had used "Mc" in front of the name of your sauce, you would have gotten a letter from McDonald's. Apparently, they sue even if the "Mc" has nothing to do with hamburgers.
@BaKhan: Depending on when it is, I may take you up on that. We still have a fair amount to do around the house regarding the finishing of the renovations, so not sure when that will be done(plus we need to get the air ducts cleaned, then there is all the dust from that).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-12T19:48:14-04:00
What are all these names for? Another sauce or something?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-12T19:50:09-04:00
Ah, new update. I dunno, Zombitten seems like a weird name for a company, but it would work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-12T23:29:40-04:00
Definitely glad I decided to replay Banjo&Kazooie. That was the best decision I've made in a long time!

Good morning.
Just a tip: Russians make really good blintzes! They had a slightly different word I don't remember, but it was basically the same.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-13T10:36:36-04:00
HEY! I didn't check recently, but I made my 7th EKLOL recently! Woot woot! Imma comin' fer you, Creeper!
Mike Kabala 2016-05-13T14:12:49-04:00
Does anyone have updated stats on the EKLOL's or other things that belong on the KittenCorps.com website? If so, please email cheetahbutt@kittencorps.com so that I can post it to the site. Thanks.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-13T16:53:06-04:00
Woo! Just saw $1,000 on the hot sauce!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-14T10:32:04-04:00
Omg. The sun is shining this morning. It feels so strange to see it in all its glory after so many days of doom and gloom.
Pity the clouds and rain are due back this afternoon
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-14T11:15:33-04:00
And it's snowing.
Howdy all. Crazy busy week last week for me. Mother's day, dad's bday, my bday, work, fishing......whew.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-05-14T13:21:20-04:00
Happy belated birthday Trinkets! How does it feel to be 30 again?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-14T13:35:08-04:00
My little brother's birthday. 18 years of a Philson in this school system and they think they can just kick us out?! THE NERVE!!!
But hey, Schmeider Wings and really, REALLY good pork sandwiches my mom makes! John Schmeider's hot wings are, by virtually every single account, the best anyone has ever had. And garlic salad, a recipe from a vegetarian polish family we stayed with near Warsaw, so good even devout salad haters love it! Also, 4 bags of lays original chips, which may or may not, but very, very likely are, my favorite chips. So all in all, it's a fair trade-off for no more Philsons in our schools.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-14T13:35:58-04:00
Hey, happy birthday! Mine's the 25th if anyone has any plans... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-14T13:37:13-04:00
NO! EDIT: NOT my brother's birthday, his GRADUATION!!!
Dang it, Trinkets and Geist! All this birthday talk mixed me up! Not birthday, GRADUATION!!!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-14T14:10:17-04:00
Lol. Thanks Geist. I haven't felt 20 since I was 25. Now I'm as old as I felt the last decade.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-14T14:11:35-04:00
Lol, I was wondering about what u said, Zem. Graduation makes more sense.
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-05-14T14:14:14-04:00
You probably have a long way to go until 40, though
I forgot we had so many may birthdays (mine was on the 9th)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-15T18:03:50-04:00
Two graduations, a birthday, a wedding, and family friend guests all in one week! This was an adventure. Now looking forward to sleeping in forever and just playing games and relaxing forever. Summer!
Oh, and my birthday's in 10 day and my older brother's one week after that. That's about all until I go with my grandpa's troop to scout camp in June.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-05-15T18:04:30-04:00
So many May birthdays! Happy belated birthday to you as well, Creeper!

@Bakhan - you're making brittle? Delicious, delicious brittle?!
@BaKhan: Could always heat up the hot sauce a bit...will cause nasal burning, but it's all in the name of delicious!
@Smashley, not just any kind of brittle, maple bacon brittle! Using real maple syrup! Its going to be at the Calgary Kitten Corps Con in October!
@GM, couldn't hurt to try! Sweet and heat blend real nice!
Sweet gods that sounds delicious.
Kitten Cons are happening?! That's awesome. Did the forum finally start getting some use then?

Rushing around and scrambling at the last minute make me grumpy! ;)
@Geist, on a side note, I'll probably have to start whipping my liver into shape... ;)
@BaKhan: The trip to Baniff sounds nice. Plus, I could explore your fair city while I'm there.That would eat up 2 - 3 days by itself. If there are any used bookstores in your region, I'd love to visit them.
I'm pretty easy to please.
On a side note, I'll probably eat my weight in Bacon Maple Brittle and short bread cookies.
*digs out stretchy stretch pants*
@Geist, Calgary has a ton of used book stores! I was just thinking we should figure out planned events, and free time, meals, etc.
@Geist, my wife has already eaten about half of the first batch that I made... Is it good, nope, it friken effen a amazing! ;) If I say so myself...
You might have a new business venture BaKhan. If I pass some out to the people here and they love it, I'm sure they will want more. I can even be your sales rep.
Also, you'll have to tell me what will be happening around the time I arrive. I can look it up but as a native, you'd know better than me. We'd have to figure out what days we could go to Baniff and the other city you metioned.
Blarg! Oh well, at least the guy was cool about it.
@Geist, I'm actually thinking about it. So many ways I could go with it, why not ks? The real challange will be getting it approved and figuring out how to ship a food product around the world.
I'll see if I can get a list of whats going on by the time you arrive. The Banff trip is for sure (no i) and Drumheller will be pending till I know how many want to go. But we still have lots of options! ;)
The Mrs and I are planning on it
@BaKhan: Let me get an list of events happening from Phil. He should be able to get that quite easily, since he works at a hotel he is supposed to know after all. :P
Maybe I could still convince Creeper to go.
What do you guys think of these: CapSassination, Purgatory, Fires of Purgatory, or Vulcan of Purgatory?
@LZ, what about LZ's Spooky Sauce? ;) Seriously though, I was trying to brain storm some names for you myself, wasn't really happy with any of them.
@LZ, so that means you guys are in for some Dino action?
@GM, that would be great, whatever I can get off of my plate would be a real help. Especially as I'm pretty much a shut in... ;)
@Geist, that would be awesome if Creeper could come too!
Dino action is always cool
@LZ: I like CapSassination. That sounds really cool.
I would double check to see if anyone has the rights to Purgatory and Fires of Purgatory. Something tells me that might already be taken.
Vulcan of Purgatory might get you a letter from the Star Trek folks. Double check to see if the use of "Vulcan" is in the public domain.
@Geist, lol!
Vulcan was the Roman god of fire. I checked on Purgatory and Fires of Purgatory. Purgatory is in use for beer, distilled spirits, shoes, and clothes, but not hot sauce. Fires of Purgatory isn't active in the registry.
@LZ, out of curiosity, did you like the pictures I took of the sauces?
Yes, those were good.
@LZ, what about Soulfire?
@LZ: I know that but don't be surprised if you get a little call from the Star Trek folks. If you had used "Mc" in front of the name of your sauce, you would have gotten a letter from McDonald's. Apparently, they sue even if the "Mc" has nothing to do with hamburgers.
@LZ: Vulcan is also the name of a town in Alberta.
Hello kittens. Anything happen in the last two weeks?
@GM, they even have a little Star Trek museum out there! Good ole Vulcan! ;)
I've never actually gone into that museum...one day I will.
@LZ, why not call it Zombitten, as in "bitten by a Zombie?"
@Geist, good point. I'm leaning toward CapSassination or Fires of Purgatory, anyway.
@CB, hey! That's another good idea
I like Zombitten.
I've alway been partial to Zombitten as well... ;)
@GM, we're planning a day trip to check it out this summer, if you're interested. ;) We've never been either.
@BaKhan: Depending on when it is, I may take you up on that. We still have a fair amount to do around the house regarding the finishing of the renovations, so not sure when that will be done(plus we need to get the air ducts cleaned, then there is all the dust from that).
What are all these names for? Another sauce or something?
Ah, new update. I dunno, Zombitten seems like a weird name for a company, but it would work.
Definitely glad I decided to replay Banjo&Kazooie. That was the best decision I've made in a long time!
Morning kittens
Good morning.
Just a tip: Russians make really good blintzes! They had a slightly different word I don't remember, but it was basically the same.
HEY! I didn't check recently, but I made my 7th EKLOL recently! Woot woot! Imma comin' fer you, Creeper!
Does anyone have updated stats on the EKLOL's or other things that belong on the KittenCorps.com website? If so, please email cheetahbutt@kittencorps.com so that I can post it to the site. Thanks.
Woo! Just saw $1,000 on the hot sauce!
Omg. The sun is shining this morning. It feels so strange to see it in all its glory after so many days of doom and gloom.
Pity the clouds and rain are due back this afternoon
And it's snowing.
Howdy all. Crazy busy week last week for me. Mother's day, dad's bday, my bday, work, fishing......whew.
Happy belated birthday Trinkets! How does it feel to be 30 again?
My little brother's birthday. 18 years of a Philson in this school system and they think they can just kick us out?! THE NERVE!!!
But hey, Schmeider Wings and really, REALLY good pork sandwiches my mom makes! John Schmeider's hot wings are, by virtually every single account, the best anyone has ever had. And garlic salad, a recipe from a vegetarian polish family we stayed with near Warsaw, so good even devout salad haters love it! Also, 4 bags of lays original chips, which may or may not, but very, very likely are, my favorite chips. So all in all, it's a fair trade-off for no more Philsons in our schools.
Hey, happy birthday! Mine's the 25th if anyone has any plans... ;)
NO! EDIT: NOT my brother's birthday, his GRADUATION!!!
Dang it, Trinkets and Geist! All this birthday talk mixed me up! Not birthday, GRADUATION!!!
Lol. Thanks Geist. I haven't felt 20 since I was 25. Now I'm as old as I felt the last decade.
Lol, I was wondering about what u said, Zem. Graduation makes more sense.
You probably have a long way to go until 40, though
Hola! Just checking in!
I forgot we had so many may birthdays (mine was on the 9th)
Two graduations, a birthday, a wedding, and family friend guests all in one week! This was an adventure. Now looking forward to sleeping in forever and just playing games and relaxing forever. Summer!
Oh, and my birthday's in 10 day and my older brother's one week after that. That's about all until I go with my grandpa's troop to scout camp in June.
So many May birthdays! Happy belated birthday to you as well, Creeper!
