Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-20T13:05:59-04:00
Say something about don't make me put a ghost pepper in your ass. That'll get you moving.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-20T14:46:38-04:00
I do like sweet hot sauces though, so I can't wait to try that one!
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-20T15:18:03-04:00
I put Guavañero on my hamburger for lunch. It is so good! I'll be bringing some when I come to Calgary.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-20T15:49:28-04:00
@LZ, yay!!! Guavanero!!! That's a helluva name! Love it!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-20T16:20:57-04:00
So the expansion is supposed to be shipped on the 18th of October, so if we're lucky, it will show up while you guys are up here! How awesome would that be?!
So...apparently the Chinese space station if going to come crashing down to earth sometime next year. As for when, couldn't say. But according to the Chinese space authority...it should almost all disintegrate upon reentry, and pose no threat to human life.
Also...apparently I'm supposed to remember something that happened a little over a month ago, when I can't even remember the train/bus ride home last night.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T15:07:49-04:00
BaKhan, where do you get those bags? I have a normal black chip bag of them. One chip? Pfft! I had 5 over the entirety of Police Academy when I opened them and only needed a cup and a half of milk to feel normal again!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T15:10:13-04:00
GM, rocks sometimes the size of small towns with equivalent volume burn up to dust. A small metal apparatus isn't a big threat at all.
`
Also yes, who is this Mavis? I remember something about a puppy, but nothing so much as a daily saga.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T15:10:53-04:00
Also, creeper, you'd better get back in the swing of things! I'm only 360 comments away! MUHUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-21T15:25:06-04:00
@Zem, basically they take the ones that you had, and add carolina reaper pepper to them. I can't wait to get home and see some reactions to eating them on youtube! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T16:10:56-04:00
Oh, yeah, I didn't read and understand it all. Just one of those days. Which makes an exam nice since I can't think fully. Whee.
But yeah, the ghost pepper ones are bad enough as it is. I don't want those!
Aaand yet someone's bringing them to Canada, aren't they?
`
Speaking of which, the one conflict I had with going up there may or may not be able to be bypassed. It's really confusing and doesn't help that the alternate exam for that class is literally just after the normal one because logic.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-21T16:25:17-04:00
@Zem, just so we're clear, there's no way in hell I'd eat one of those reaper chips, no way! ;) As per your exam, I can't stress enough how important education is, and if it will compromise that in any way, don't even think of coming! I don't care how big you are, I'll kick your butt!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T17:00:00-04:00
I'll just have to be bigger than that then! I'll be the biggest person in the world! You'll never be able to kick my entire butt!
... maybe I should stick to studying for today's exam. Just think: in 5 or so hours, it'll virtually be the weekend!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-21T17:12:10-04:00
@Zem, verbally, not pysically... and anyways, you know what I mean! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T21:37:53-04:00
Woo! That went alot better than I expected! It may have to do with the fact that I literally spent and hour memorizing the postulates of quantum physics alone, but I expect a good, solid 50% or so. So much nicer than I was expecting!
Also, 50 should be about average. The most common story you hear from this class is people who didn't pass a single exam and got like a B+ final grade.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T21:48:13-04:00
Oh yeah, LZ, when you see this, what was the schedule you were expecting for Canada? I need to know so I can email my calc professor and see if I can move my exam. I just remember I would get back something like the day after. Thanks!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-21T23:12:59-04:00
In fact, after all of this, I'm feeling so productive I'm going to sleep early! Sounds weird, but it is actually productive. I'm always underslept and tired. Going to sleep at 10:30-ish will help alot.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T08:09:24-04:00
Ah, so my back hurts and is making me not feel good. So it's gonna be one of THOSE mornings...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-22T09:01:45-04:00
How do I know that fall has arrived? I'm nursing a cold.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T09:26:00-04:00
Good morning kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T09:38:12-04:00
So I started a smoothie fast today, so far so good! I just don't think I do another juice one. The last time I tried the juice I thought I was going to die everytime I smelled the juice, even just straight up fruit juices. Even now, not even remotely tempted by apple (used to be my favorite) or orange juice. I'm hoping that while results will be slower with smoothies, that with the variety of flavours I can keep it new enough not to burn out. Wish me luck!
Eric 'Trinkets' Baumgarten 2016-09-22T10:27:15-04:00
Good morning all.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-22T10:33:06-04:00
Don't think I could do a juice fasting. I'd be chowing down on burgers and fries within an hour. Plus I'd have to drink 20 pounds of fruits and veg to stave off the hunger pains.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-22T10:33:14-04:00
Morning Trinkets
daniel krief 2016-09-22T10:56:06-04:00
if we make a big purchase (around 8-10 items) can we get a discount?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T11:09:47-04:00
@Geist, it isn't the juice that deals with the hunger pangs, its your own bodies natural response. Its a throw back to when humans used to regularly starve, your body kills the head aches and stomache pain, and hieghtens all your natural senses, it takes about 3-5 days to happen and its quite painful, after that though, its easy peasy. The hardest part is actually the taste / smell of the juice! ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T11:10:25-04:00
@GM & Trinkets, good morning gentlemen!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T11:11:02-04:00
@daniel, purchase what? If you want EK or it expansion, you'll need to go to Amazon. Good luck!
Can I go back to bed? I'm sure that if I lived alone, I would probably still be passed out in my bed.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T11:41:59-04:00
Geist, how do I know it's fall out? The high is only 90 today! It may seem high, but wednesday was like 96. Thankfully this weekend it'll go down to 68 by next week due to some storms.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T11:43:24-04:00
Daniel, uhhh... this campaign ended 2 1/2 years ago. Sorry to break it to you.
We don't serve your kind round these parts! You'll have to go to Amazon to get that now!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T11:44:20-04:00
LZ, if you get on today, that question about schedule is still as important, thanks!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T11:45:49-04:00
@Zem, right now we're sitting at a balmy 43F and going up to a high of 50F... Seriously, I don't think you know what living in the cold is like... :(
I'm half hoping that when everyone comes up, if Zem can make it, that it's one of our colder Halloweens. :P
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-22T12:35:04-04:00
Zem, we're going to be leaving either on the evening of October 26 or the morning of the 27. We'll be coming back on November 2
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T12:39:15-04:00
BaKhan, OH! Oh, Fahrenheit! For some reason I thought you meant you had a high of 50 C and had no clue where the hell in Canada you were! "I'm on vacation in Sahara, Canada!"
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T12:45:22-04:00
@Zem, lol, yeah 50C would be plenty hot! Thats halfway to boiling water.... ;) about 122F
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T12:45:45-04:00
Alright, so I need to add a day to both sides of that schedule... exam is Nov. 1... Let's see, if I leave the 26th, I can meet up with you and we can work it out, but likely leave from there 27th, be back home the 3rd...
I really hope I can get this to work out!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T12:46:51-04:00
@GM, don't even joke about it! I want one of the mildest halloweens ever, although, I think we're due for a nasty one... I'm thinking it would pretty much suck driving to Drum, or Banff in the icy crappy weather is all. Nothing like the mountains when its snowing... >.>
@BaKhan: The driving to Drum and Banff is why I don't want it to be a bad one. But, that being said, I did only mention cold. No snow or anything. :P
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T14:15:58-04:00
@GM, fair enough, you just know how it is... I really want it to be nice for them, well, as nice as it can be. We could take Zem on a private tour of walk in deep freezes! ;)
@GM, I'm thinking frozen food storage, like Blue Star, or Conastoga, they warehouse stuff for M&M meats amongst others. I almost took a job at Blue Star years ago, it paid $5 an hour more, but I couldn't deal with the cold... ;)
@BaKhan: Ah, I worked at West Fair Foods(food warehouse for Superstore and their group) near the airport for a few weeks(I couldn't handle the layout they used for picking orders...you get pallet sized plastic flats - like the ones used in bread stores - of chicken, that you pick BEFORE boxes of meat, so you have to try and stand the meat on top of the chicken until you get clear of the isle to rearrange it...so many pallets that fall over due to that), and that place was cold....I didn't even work in the freezer!!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T14:41:33-04:00
@GM, that just sounds asine. You never pick the loose stuff before the boxes, pretty much ever. I'm surprised that they didn't have boxes for the chicken, or crates, or whatever to make it more stable... oh well, you're much better off now!
@LZ, thats what I'm talking about, I couldn't do it! I hate the cold, so much!
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-22T16:22:23-04:00
@GM, no
@BaKhan, it was great on really hot days. Any other time, though, it was miserable. The door was really heavy, too, so it always fely like I got stuck in there.
Love when people don't give all the paperwork needed to be paid(guy didn't give us his W-4 - same as our tax forms - or his offer letter...yet it's our fault for not paying him). Wonder if he would be happy with the number I come up with for his annual salary...$1/year.
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-22T16:41:26-04:00
I'm sure he'd be fine with that, especially if you expressed it in millicents
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T16:51:54-04:00
I feel like I'd love working in a freezer. Or at least some place that needs refrigeration. I love going into factories and warehouses that need to be kept at 50-60 degrees.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T16:56:54-04:00
@LZ, yikes! That wouldn't induce any panic attacks at all! >.>
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-22T17:17:34-04:00
@BaKhan, I actually once had a dream in which I had gone into the freezer and the metal shelf right next to it fell over. Blocking the door. I had no reception, so I couldn't even let anyone know that I was stuck.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T17:26:05-04:00
@LZ, Gawd! Thankfully I haven't remembered a dream in years and years... very rarely were they pleasant to remember so, no loss there!
I haven't remembered a dream since I was in grade 1...and I still remember it because it happened, exactly as I dreamt, the following day. I got to paint!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T17:59:55-04:00
I don't even know IF I dream. I'm sure I do, but I like to say I don't because 1) the arguments that make people suddenly find out they're so vehement in their beliefs about dreams it's like talking about politics, and B) I may as well dream once a month for what I do remember.
And it's not like I just forget them either. I used to have dreams all the time. Mine are super weird. Not like that guy in your family who has some weird-ass dreams, just hyperrealistic. Very rarely strange at all, but always very stressful, so I did away with them. I remember 2 dreams I came out of feeling good in my entire life; the rest were just some level of stressful.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T18:02:00-04:00
Oh yeah, and I know when I dream, or equivalent as prestated. I can remember having dreamed, if not the dream.
`
Another odd thing: I have significant dreams twice. I've had several times where I not only remembered a full dream very well and vividly, and not only can I still remember all of the main details of nearly all of those, but whenever one is that prominent, I have it again. Always twice, and only twice. A few details are always different, but only inconsequentially so. It's so odd.
Lord Zombitten 2016-09-22T18:16:14-04:00
I wish I could stop remembering toilets and restrooms from my dreams. Almost every time there's one of those, it's like Trainspotting, only worse.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-22T18:51:16-04:00
Oh please let it be the weekend tomorrow.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-09-22T20:08:47-04:00
Oh good, my professor has some ideas apparently for that exam, so that's promising to be able to go!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T20:13:55-04:00
@LZ, damn! I'm glad I don't have those dreams! My dad was a plumber, not only have I seen worse, I've had to help fix them. *shudder*
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-22T20:14:30-04:00
@Zem, thats great news!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-23T05:58:55-04:00
Morning kittens. Friday at last. My cold is getting better (thank goodness. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that while in Canada) and there is a small break between festivals this weekend. Time for me to start getting ready to head north.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-23T09:21:55-04:00
Good morning kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-23T09:23:38-04:00
@Geist, glad to hear that you're feeling better! I am starting on my halloween treat making (all the stuff that can be frozen) this weekend, so that I'm more prepared for you guys when you get here. I'll probably be making MBB this weekend as well.... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-23T09:40:53-04:00
@BaKhan: Colds are weird. Mine literally lasted 72 hours. I'm pretty much back to normal now. Don't know if it was the cold medicine or my immune system. Probably a little of both.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-09-23T09:42:32-04:00
@BaKhan: I wanted to ask you about how to exchange my American money for Canadian. Do I do that at the airport or somewhere here before I leave? I think there are a few places where I can exchange the money before I hop on the plane.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-23T10:14:49-04:00
@Geist, when we travel down there, we normally exchange it at our bank before we go, we just watch the exchange rate and wait till its as favourable as its likely to be. Worst case scenario, you can get it exchanged up here as well. You'll probably get better rates down there, but I'm honestly not too sure. Either way, though, it shouldn't be too much of a pain.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-23T10:25:54-04:00
@Geist, actually the exchange rate is actually really good for you right now! $1 US = 1.32 Canadian... I wish... ;)
Ah, well...may still pop into HMV after work. I'm also waiting on the new album from Sonata Arctica, I pre ordered it a while ago...just can't wait. They're also coming back to Calgary next year sometime.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-09-23T11:27:47-04:00
@GM, you need to let me know when they do, I want to go!
Say something about don't make me put a ghost pepper in your ass. That'll get you moving.
I do like sweet hot sauces though, so I can't wait to try that one!
I put Guavañero on my hamburger for lunch. It is so good! I'll be bringing some when I come to Calgary.
@LZ, yay!!! Guavanero!!! That's a helluva name! Love it!
So the expansion is supposed to be shipped on the 18th of October, so if we're lucky, it will show up while you guys are up here! How awesome would that be?!
That should be fun. Hopefully it does come in at that time, and we can play the hell out of it.
Dang, starting Civ V was a bad idea! I've lost my life to it now! At least I finally settled on which game to play until its done now.
Morning kittens.
The bomb scare was over around noon. After the bombings in New York and New Jersey, the authorities are taking no chances.
Tons of meetings yesterday and all week. I won't be able to play with you guys too much this week but I'll check in after work.
So not ready for today. Let's just get it over with so I can enjoy pretty much an early weekend with classes.
Good morning kittens!
@Geist, glad it turned out to be nothing! So much craziness down there right now! You take care of that new job, its priority number one!
AMAZEBALLS!
Morning kittens.
@GM, good morning sir!
Hello kittens and super kittens!
Morning Creeper and BaKhan.
Long time no see Creeper. Keeping (barely) out of trouble?
Hey Creeper! Good to see you!
So...apparently the Chinese space station if going to come crashing down to earth sometime next year. As for when, couldn't say. But according to the Chinese space authority...it should almost all disintegrate upon reentry, and pose no threat to human life.
Also...apparently I'm supposed to remember something that happened a little over a month ago, when I can't even remember the train/bus ride home last night.
I'm attempting! Currently dealing with the daily saga of Leo vs. mavis the pup.
Also keeping eye on a tiny little kitten in the backyard and his mama. Making sure she's caring for him.
@Creeper: Mavis the pup? I do not recall hearing about a Mavis before.
@Zem, you might find this interesting... ;) http://time.com/4502025/worlds-spiciest-chip-paqui-carolina-reaper/
BaKhan, where do you get those bags? I have a normal black chip bag of them. One chip? Pfft! I had 5 over the entirety of Police Academy when I opened them and only needed a cup and a half of milk to feel normal again!

Yeah, it's almost like they wanted product to be damaged before sending it to the stores. So glad I got out of there.
I worked with a walk-in freezer at a precious job. It was used for reagent storage. It had to be kept at less than -20 C. That was a fun freezer.
@LZ: Did anyone ever get told to mop the freezer?
@LZ, thats what I'm talking about, I couldn't do it! I hate the cold, so much!
@GM, no
@BaKhan, it was great on really hot days. Any other time, though, it was miserable. The door was really heavy, too, so it always fely like I got stuck in there.
Love when people don't give all the paperwork needed to be paid(guy didn't give us his W-4 - same as our tax forms - or his offer letter...yet it's our fault for not paying him). Wonder if he would be happy with the number I come up with for his annual salary...$1/year.
I'm sure he'd be fine with that, especially if you expressed it in millicents
And he's a regional sales guy too.
I feel like I'd love working in a freezer. Or at least some place that needs refrigeration. I love going into factories and warehouses that need to be kept at 50-60 degrees.
@LZ, yikes! That wouldn't induce any panic attacks at all! >.>
@BaKhan, I actually once had a dream in which I had gone into the freezer and the metal shelf right next to it fell over. Blocking the door. I had no reception, so I couldn't even let anyone know that I was stuck.
@LZ, Gawd! Thankfully I haven't remembered a dream in years and years... very rarely were they pleasant to remember so, no loss there!
I haven't remembered a dream since I was in grade 1...and I still remember it because it happened, exactly as I dreamt, the following day. I got to paint!
I don't even know IF I dream. I'm sure I do, but I like to say I don't because 1) the arguments that make people suddenly find out they're so vehement in their beliefs about dreams it's like talking about politics, and B) I may as well dream once a month for what I do remember.
And it's not like I just forget them either. I used to have dreams all the time. Mine are super weird. Not like that guy in your family who has some weird-ass dreams, just hyperrealistic. Very rarely strange at all, but always very stressful, so I did away with them. I remember 2 dreams I came out of feeling good in my entire life; the rest were just some level of stressful.
Oh yeah, and I know when I dream, or equivalent as prestated. I can remember having dreamed, if not the dream.
`
Another odd thing: I have significant dreams twice. I've had several times where I not only remembered a full dream very well and vividly, and not only can I still remember all of the main details of nearly all of those, but whenever one is that prominent, I have it again. Always twice, and only twice. A few details are always different, but only inconsequentially so. It's so odd.
I wish I could stop remembering toilets and restrooms from my dreams. Almost every time there's one of those, it's like Trainspotting, only worse.
Oh please let it be the weekend tomorrow.
Oh good, my professor has some ideas apparently for that exam, so that's promising to be able to go!
@LZ, damn! I'm glad I don't have those dreams! My dad was a plumber, not only have I seen worse, I've had to help fix them. *shudder*
@Zem, thats great news!
Morning kittens. Friday at last. My cold is getting better (thank goodness. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that while in Canada) and there is a small break between festivals this weekend. Time for me to start getting ready to head north.
Good morning kittens!
@Geist, glad to hear that you're feeling better! I am starting on my halloween treat making (all the stuff that can be frozen) this weekend, so that I'm more prepared for you guys when you get here. I'll probably be making MBB this weekend as well.... ;)
@BaKhan: Colds are weird. Mine literally lasted 72 hours. I'm pretty much back to normal now. Don't know if it was the cold medicine or my immune system. Probably a little of both.
@BaKhan: I wanted to ask you about how to exchange my American money for Canadian. Do I do that at the airport or somewhere here before I leave? I think there are a few places where I can exchange the money before I hop on the plane.
@Geist, when we travel down there, we normally exchange it at our bank before we go, we just watch the exchange rate and wait till its as favourable as its likely to be. Worst case scenario, you can get it exchanged up here as well. You'll probably get better rates down there, but I'm honestly not too sure. Either way, though, it shouldn't be too much of a pain.
@Geist, actually the exchange rate is actually really good for you right now! $1 US = 1.32 Canadian... I wish... ;)
Morning kittens.
Is it 4pm yet? -.-
@GM, hell, its 5 o'clock somewhere... ;)
If I tell my boss that...think she would go for it?
@GM, let me think ab.... nope! ;)
Also...listening to Amon Amarth right now to try and wake myself up...isn't really working.
You should check out that new one by Metallica, Hardwired, it'll wake you up!
Did it just recently get released? If so...I may make a pit-stop at HMV after work....
@GM, the album isn't out yet, asaik, but soon, the single is out though.
Ah, well...may still pop into HMV after work. I'm also waiting on the new album from Sonata Arctica, I pre ordered it a while ago...just can't wait. They're also coming back to Calgary next year sometime.
@GM, you need to let me know when they do, I want to go!
Yeah, Metallica's new album is due out Nov 18th.
