@Geist: Some may enjoy it, you never know what people will enjoy
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-08T14:22:10-04:00
It's true. There are some really weird fetishes out there.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-08T14:48:43-04:00
There are some really weird fetishes out there
I don't mean to sound gross but there was a documentary/reality show called "Pimps up, hoes down". The director would interview prostitutes and some of their johns. One john's kink was having pins slowly stuck through his skin flute. *shivers*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-08T16:07:03-04:00
lol! What is going on here!?! Geist and LZ come back to comment today and it gets into fetishes... hmmm mmm. ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-08T16:55:38-04:00
Geist, that last one made me clench my legs together so hard, I don't think I'll be able to walk properly until tomorrow.
Ouchie!!
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-08T17:45:31-04:00
I just learned that Bella is leaving EK
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-08T17:47:22-04:00
Oh, thats too bad... is she moving on to bigger things?
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-08T17:50:18-04:00
Yeah. She'll be an engagement leader for IBM Watson in San Francisco.
Regarding the expansion, I'm holding off on it for a bit. Already have enough stuff on order for now.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-09T10:49:22-04:00
@Geist, I can't wait to make some short bread, or maybe we can do chocolates? Either way, there will be plenty of maple bacon brittle. If I seal some up for you and LZ & Co, in vacuum packs, do you think you could take some home with you? Will it make it past security?
@BaKhan: You're going to play with our national treasure like that? You do like to live dangerously. ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-09T11:23:32-04:00
@GM, our nation can call it a national treasure, after they pay me for it, all they want! ;) I wanted to make a couple of packs that our American kittens could take home with them for later. Feeling down, maple bacon brittle says otherwise! ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-09T11:26:08-04:00
Yes, I'm sure we can get that through security.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-09T11:28:05-04:00
@LZ, yay! I just wanted to have something for you guys to take back with you, a mini heist, if you will... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-09T11:49:58-04:00
I'm with LZ. I'm willing to risk taking back some of that sweet sweet goodness.
For the most part food like that isn't confiscated. And most of the time, if you claim it, they just say "Whatever, keep going". At least, that's what happened when I was on my last cruise and bought some rum cakes.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-09T11:55:55-04:00
I just wasn't sure because it has "meat" in it if that would complicate things or not? It sounds like it should be okay. I just don't like the idea that security could confiscate it and eat it themselves! ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-09T14:16:49-04:00
I remember coming back from Las Vegas and I completely forgot that I had some sort of flavored mayo in my carry on bag. Airport security flagged me and I lost a yummy snack.
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-09T14:41:46-04:00
I was figuring I could smuggle it, if nothing else.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-09T14:56:52-04:00
Due to it coming from Canada, there is less chance they will end up taking it away. But, you never know what will make them decide to take it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-09T15:25:39-04:00
I'd say just pack it in your luggage, and if they find it just say you forgot. I wouldn't think of it as smuggling, there is no cash value per se. Its priceless! ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-10T04:36:06-04:00
@BaKhan: Checked luggage or carry on? I would divide mine half and half. That I might lose some but not all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-08-10T07:44:26-04:00
Who would name a village Bird-In-Hand?! Either way, at a big family reunion of the past 4 generations' worth of family. Pretty nice place, though the wifi sucks for the most part in the hotel. At least someone brought Axis&Allies! Now we'll be able to waste 3 days' worth of otherwise talking to people.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-08-10T07:49:28-04:00
Just from the little I read past:
BaKhan, when I used to use the Angel of Death costume, we have 2 actual scythes I could choose from! Probably not worth the trouble of trying to bring a huge blade across the border.
`
Bella's leaving? Aaw. Well, Watson is indeed a much bigger and better thing.
`
Sold out? Yeah, glad I pre-ordered mine, though that means it'll probably ship to my house while we're still gone for awhile.
`
Mmmmmm... brittle!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-08-10T07:51:53-04:00
Also, there're some Tim Hortons here in Pennsylvania. We may have to go back to one while we have the chance.
Reminds me that I found those all-flavor Lays chips awhile back. Not my all-time favorite (hard to beat the original Lays), but they were pretty good!
And poutine chips even once!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... poutine!!!
@Zem, lol, well I strongly discourage people from bringing real weapons to my party... mostly because it makes me jealous and I'll go grab some of mine! I did mention I have a sword/weapons collection right? Seriously though, props are cool, but I don't like having to hang onto them, or keep track of them. That and drunk / otherwise inebriated people and weapons (even fake ones) tend to lead to people trying to bash each other with them, in my house, which of course is a no no. ;)
@BaKhan: *Goes to return the daggers and throwing knives....*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-10T11:24:07-04:00
@GM, lol! ;) Thats one thing I actually don't have any of, throwing knives, but I do have one small dagger... ;) In the St. Georges style (dragon handle).
@BaKhan: I actually don't have any daggers. I do have throwing knives(very crappy ones), but don't know where they went. And the brace to hold them was designed for the wrist/forearm, and doesn't work well.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-10T11:59:34-04:00
@GM, ah one of those discount store specials? I've seen the type before. I have seen lots of throwing knife sets, the problem is that most of them aren't actually ballanced for throwing! ;) At the end of the day, I look at the cost difference between a good practicle set and the cost of a sword, and then I wind up just spending the money on ks... wait, wut? ;)
I can't wait for Friday. Going to Taste of Calgary with people from work. Going to be an amazing time. Good food, good company(hopefully more than just the four of us actually planning on going).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-10T12:22:33-04:00
@GM, that sounds awesome, I hope you guys have a good time! My in-laws are coming this weekend, so it will be zero fun for me.... :(
That's one thing I'm (half) happy about. I don't have in-laws that I don't like. At least, for now.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-10T12:37:01-04:00
@GM, well to be fair, its not that I don't like them, they're nice enough, its just that I would rather have my weekend to with as I please. Just being selfish I suppose.
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-10T14:07:54-04:00
Back to bringing the maple bacon brittle home, I guess it's worth mentioning that we'll be driving, eh?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-10T14:13:08-04:00
@LZ, yeah, I don't think you'll have any issues, I was more thinking of Geist on that one. ;)
I just looked at the bottom of the container, and it was rice. We had rice with both. Completely forgot we had butter chicken in the freezer still(wonder if there is more....)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-08-10T18:45:33-04:00

Also thinking about starting up a great game of Axis&Allies tonight if I can get people together. Apparently, though, I might be related to Molly Pitcher! Cool stuff.

Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-11T10:28:37-04:00
Why does life have to make things complicated? Why can't it just be frigging simple?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-11T10:40:39-04:00
@Geist, oooh that doesn't sound good! Whats up?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-11T10:45:35-04:00
@BaKhan: Let me put it this way, something good might happen to me in a few days but if I accept it, it means that I will be burning a bridge. I don't want to do this but I'm thinking of my future and I have to do what is right as far as that is concerned.
I had no way of predicting how this situation would turn out. I wish things would have worked out better.
@Geist: Sometimes it's necessary to burn a few bridges to get ahead in life. As unfortunate as it is, sometimes it really helps you in the end.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-11T11:02:56-04:00
@Geist, thats opportunity cost at its finest for you. You can do A or B, but not A and B. I think that in the end you have to do whats best for you, for a few reasons. Firstly, if you don't accept the new and good thing, it may make you bitter towards the bridge unburned, and in the end you'll just feel trapped anyways. Secondly, whats good for you, is whats good for those around you, and the people that care for you. Looking out for yourself isn't selfish, its actually putting yourself in a better position to help out and do more things because you aren't struggling with hating where you are and feeling poorly because you didn't take a chance. In the end, its not the things that we tried and failed that haunt us, its the things we never tried. I wish you the best of luck with your decision, and your choice. Think on it, if it weren't important, it wouldn't be bugging you. It may sound cheesy, but physically write out a pro's / con's list, sometimes seeing things in writting makes them more obvious. I also find that the act of writting it out helps my thought process, when you're struggling to find pro's, its pretty obvious what to do. I wish I had better advice for you! Sending positive vibes your way!
Someone end the day...or better yet the week. You walk around the office today and you can feel how gloomy it is without even looking at anyone.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-11T14:25:19-04:00
@GM, I'm with you! We just got told yesterday that we aren't getting any raises for at least a year, and that basically we're lucky to have jobs. I'm of the mind that they're lucky they still have employees... >:(
For us, they let go one of the HR people(the one that's around my age, single, and hot as hell!! - and I was too stupid to get her number long ago...), so you can just feel the lack of moral around the office.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-11T14:35:28-04:00
@GM, *shakes head* GM, GM, GM... what are we going to do with you man! ;)
Who knows. I tend to be oblivious to if a girl likes me, and usually when I do notice, it's way too late. With this one though, I'm not sure if she was even interested, and she's been gone from the company ~2.5hours.
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-11T14:42:49-04:00
GM, That's rough.
The good news is that TO:7S should arrive at my house on Wednesday!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-11T14:46:25-04:00
@LZ, congrats! We still have no idea as to whats going on with the Canada boat... Not that I'm really ready for it yet, still too much Z:BP to paint... ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-08-11T19:06:02-04:00
Holy cow, the internet sucks. Who would've thought the internet wouldn't be a priority in amish-ville, middle of Pennsylvania? :P
`
Met even more family today. This whole trip is family; good thing we all are close, much more fortunate than many a family. My third cousin whom I only just met, though, has offered to be a great guide for downtown and historic Philly, so that's really good! Having fun so far.
Funny how my once-a-day correspondence is taking on the role of a blog, though I'm not the first to keep people updated like this.
Morning kittens.
`
@Zem: Sounds like your family reunions are better than mine. We tend to be in the same vicinity, but most don't even talk to each other.
`
Also, I'm not sure why I cam into work today. I have absolutely NOTHING to do.
...Just realized my spelling mistake. That should be came, not cam.
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-12T11:30:54-04:00
I don't want to adult today. In fact, I think I'd rather not today today. I'll today tomorrow instead, okay?
Lord Zombitten 2016-08-12T11:32:20-04:00
The good news is we are getting our solar panels installed today.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-12T11:35:09-04:00
I'm of a split mind today. I don't want to be at work, everything is annoying me. I don't want to go home, my wife is busy getting the house ready for her parents arrival tomorrow (yay...). Can we just skip to Sunday afternoon? ;)
I don't want to adult today either...my boss is having me train doing a North Dakota WCB audit...I would much rather be wandering around aimlessly...catching Pokémon.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-12T12:19:32-04:00
Can this day go by any slower?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-12T12:24:14-04:00
@GM & BaKhan: Thanks for the advice. I'll know (hopefully) by Sunday if I have to burn that bridge. I got the match standing by.
@Geist: Three of us from work went to a food event that's happening this weekend(Taste of Calgary), that killed an hour....and for $20(got us 20 sample tickets - most things cost 2-5 tickets) we each came back full.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-12T14:46:51-04:00
@Geist, good luck with everything, we're rooting for you!
@BaKhan: I had some bacon wrapped chicken, steak bites, a slice of "Johnny G" pizza(essentially a meat lovers pizza), and the Mini-Dots ice cream things.
@BaKhan: They had quite a bit. But each ticket cost $1, and some of the items were not quite worth what it would have been(I was going to try the BBQ Jerk Wing...but $2 for 1 wing is a bit too much).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-12T15:57:33-04:00
@GM, yeah, no doubt. Some year I'd like to go, just to even see what they have cookin! ;) $1 per wing is just crazy! Should have had at least 3 for that cost, imo.
@BaKhan: Initially, the menu that was in the Metro earlier this week said it was "BBQ Jerk Wings" for 2 tickets. Get there today, and it was "BBQ Jerk Wing" for 2 tickets. They had taken either a black sharpie and coloured over the s, or put a piece of black board over it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-12T17:19:34-04:00
@GM, they either were running out, or they got greedy, probably the latter... >.> Oh well, at least you had a good time!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-08-12T17:22:48-04:00
Bacon wrapped chicken? *drools*
Oh man. That sounds like heaven. Probably taste like it too
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-08-12T17:25:15-04:00
@Geist, have you ever had bacon wrapped meatloaf? Seriously so good!
Heh, I almost called the tests teats.
@LZ, lol, I'm not sure if she would have appreciated that are not, you never know! ;)
Nailing teats? Ouch!
That would hurt. :-P
@Geist: Some may enjoy it, you never know what people will enjoy
It's true. There are some really weird fetishes out there.

I just learned that Bella is leaving EK
Oh, thats too bad... is she moving on to bigger things?
Yeah. She'll be an engagement leader for IBM Watson in San Francisco.
...Good thing I brought my jacket today. Too bad I left my hat at home.
I wish Bella all the best in her new position.
Did you guys know that the EK expansion pack is sold out on Amazon?
Good Morning Kittens!
@Geist, good thing I got my pre-order in the first day a Canadian could... ;)
I sure hope that I have the expansion for when you guys come up!
I waited too late and missed out. Oh well. As I can get some maple bacon brittle and short bread cookies, I can wait until they reissue it again.
Morning kittens.
Regarding the expansion, I'm holding off on it for a bit. Already have enough stuff on order for now.
@Geist, I can't wait to make some short bread, or maybe we can do chocolates? Either way, there will be plenty of maple bacon brittle. If I seal some up for you and LZ & Co, in vacuum packs, do you think you could take some home with you? Will it make it past security?

Well, that was a pleasant surprise for my lunch. What I thought was pork chop, turned out to be butter chicken.
Ooh, butter chicken > porkchops! Nice one!
I just looked at the bottom of the container, and it was rice. We had rice with both. Completely forgot we had butter chicken in the freezer still(wonder if there is more....)
I don't have throwing knives, though my brother does, but if I had the money, I'd have a pretty damn splendiforous weapons collection.

Met even more family today. This whole trip is family; good thing we all are close, much more fortunate than many a family. My third cousin whom I only just met, though, has offered to be a great guide for downtown and historic Philly, so that's really good! Having fun so far.
Funny how my once-a-day correspondence is taking on the role of a blog, though I'm not the first to keep people updated like this.
Good morning kittens!
@Zem, glad you're having fun!
Morning kittens.

@Zem: Sounds like your family reunions are better than mine. We tend to be in the same vicinity, but most don't even talk to each other.

Also, I'm not sure why I cam into work today. I have absolutely NOTHING to do.
...Just realized my spelling mistake. That should be came, not cam.
I don't want to adult today. In fact, I think I'd rather not today today. I'll today tomorrow instead, okay?
The good news is we are getting our solar panels installed today.
I'm of a split mind today. I don't want to be at work, everything is annoying me. I don't want to go home, my wife is busy getting the house ready for her parents arrival tomorrow (yay...). Can we just skip to Sunday afternoon? ;)
I don't want to adult today either...my boss is having me train doing a North Dakota WCB audit...I would much rather be wandering around aimlessly...catching Pokémon.
Can this day go by any slower?
@GM & BaKhan: Thanks for the advice. I'll know (hopefully) by Sunday if I have to burn that bridge. I got the match standing by.
@Geist: Great, now it's going to go even slower. :P
@GM: Take a quick walk outside. I did. It helped kill 30 minutes. Now I have a whole 5 hours more before I can go home.
@Geist: Three of us from work went to a food event that's happening this weekend(Taste of Calgary), that killed an hour....and for $20(got us 20 sample tickets - most things cost 2-5 tickets) we each came back full.
@Geist, good luck with everything, we're rooting for you!
@GM, what'd you get?
@BaKhan: I had some bacon wrapped chicken, steak bites, a slice of "Johnny G" pizza(essentially a meat lovers pizza), and the Mini-Dots ice cream things.
@BaKhan: Oh! I also had a home made ginger ale. It was delicious!
@GM, hmmm seems like standard (if not delicious) fair, didn't they have anything exciting or different? Homemade ginger ale sounds awesome!
@BaKhan: They had quite a bit. But each ticket cost $1, and some of the items were not quite worth what it would have been(I was going to try the BBQ Jerk Wing...but $2 for 1 wing is a bit too much).
@GM, yeah, no doubt. Some year I'd like to go, just to even see what they have cookin! ;) $1 per wing is just crazy! Should have had at least 3 for that cost, imo.
@BaKhan: Initially, the menu that was in the Metro earlier this week said it was "BBQ Jerk Wings" for 2 tickets. Get there today, and it was "BBQ Jerk Wing" for 2 tickets. They had taken either a black sharpie and coloured over the s, or put a piece of black board over it.
@GM, they either were running out, or they got greedy, probably the latter... >.> Oh well, at least you had a good time!
Bacon wrapped chicken? *drools*
Oh man. That sounds like heaven. Probably taste like it too
@Geist, have you ever had bacon wrapped meatloaf? Seriously so good!
@BaKhan and @Geist: Bacon wrapper meatloaf, fried in beer batter, then tossed in hot sauce.
Wrapped*
