Bacon*

*message was too short

[Kyran O'Hurn]

a message about bacon is never too short...

[Darth Turbogeek]

a message about bacon is never too short...

On the contrary, any message about bacon that is shorter than "Bacon sucks, gimme real food" is definatly too short. Yes I loooooooove meat but bacon? This isnt the 1700's where bacon was a valid way to preserve meat - all those salts and curing processes are NOT healthy for you and neither is the vast amounts of fats.

Plus frankly bacon doesnt taste that good either.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Charley's bacon is phenomenal, and no amount of bacon-hating is going to change that.

Charley's bacon is an institution and shall not be insulted in any way in these sacred halls!

[Charley]

Speaking of, I really ought to go to my butchers for more pork belly so I can cure some more rashers. I'm sure folks will be wanting bacon for the holidays

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Beer and bacon on Christmas morning? That's a winner in my book!

[Charley]

Cheese and bread too and also toffee

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I had bacon for lunch.

making up for the carb fest that was yesterday maybe?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Well that was an unexpected four hours of OT. Gonna sleep like a dead person now.

Yep, I recently returned to the game, along with a couple of mates. We're on the Tomb of Freedon Nadd server, if you fancy joining us. :)

I'll be getting there! Just trying to figure out how to play it with a controller rather than the keyboard and mouse. Imperials, I'm guessing?

[Droo]

I don't think it's possible to play it without a keyboard and mouse, to be honest. It's one of those games that requires the use of numerous keys and the sort of multitasking a controller just isn't fit for. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't wrap my head round the idea. Let me know how it goes.

And yes, Sith Empire all the way!

Edit: Apparently using a controller with SWTOR is not unheard of - colour me surprised! Now I am intrigued...

[Vince]

I prefer to play most games with a controller, to be honest. I end up using only a few moves or establishing a system of moves and counter moves that I find it easier to do with a controller. However, it seems that none of the games I have now will let me use the controller I have to play them without some profile configuration, and my attempt at it was confused and very lackluster.

Now there's an agent called Valentinian on the Freedon Nadd server, though. And I tried to make Ben, but though the look was all right, the attitude was mostly waaaay off.

Hmm. If people are playing TOR again, I might fire it up and give it another go. Are there any Sith classes that are lacking at the moment Droo, or any that are way too overplayed? I don't particularly mind which Sith class I play, so I'd rather be one that's going to be useful / not dime-a-dozen.

I'm also missing my Trooper a little bit, if anyone fancies doing a Republic character as well.

[Droo]

Whatever takes your fancy, Jace. There's not many of us, and we jump between characters depending on what we feel like doing.

[Vince]

I still might have the Ben-like attempt somewhere, but I'm thinking I want to make the littlest tank (tiny female Mirialan Guardian).

[Captain Untouchable]

...phew, so very glad I remember where the security key doodad is. Let the extremely long download commence!

[Emelie Shadowstar]

>_> me and that game are still not on speaking terms since they forced me to move servers and I lost ALL of my character names... *first shakes at it again*

[Captain Untouchable]

Possibly going to delete my characters and start over. I always struggle picking up where I left off in computer games, and I haven't played in over a year: I don't remember a damned thing about how to play them, the storylines, the personality I had in mind for picking conversation options, or any of that junk.

The only thing giving me pause is a) Taris, which was hell to drag an Agent through, and b) the fact that I have a L41 Chiss, and getting an L50 Chiss would unlock shizzle.

Hmm. :\

[Emelie Shadowstar]

;____; Flash and Pebbles.

[Tom Harriman]

I can't find Flash on my character list. I had characters spread across a bunch of servers, and the game found some of them but not all. :(

We were only on Coruscant though, right? Tell me what level Pebbles is at and I WILL REBUILD HIM. I HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY. (and the headband)

[Alice Kelly]

uhhh...we were at that stage where we could pick between Alderaan and another?? I have no idea what server we are on and if I can bring Ari'ana back >: since someone else has her gorram name. *FIST SHAKE*

...okay so we may need to figure this out. lol

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Updated my phone to iOS7 - it's pretty snazzy :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

^ I just updated my iPad

Without researching it, I can't really tell what the new features are <_<

[Emelie Shadowstar]

I can't say I'm a fan of the new "look" ...Kris absolutely hates it. Says it looks like bubblegum puked on his phone :lol

I haven't upgraded my iPad...yet. Probably will do so this weekend.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Psh. You all and your iToys (ironically written from my MacBook).

Though in general phone news I will finally be joining the army of little green robots this weekend.

[Svetlana Ustinov]

It's a good army :) I miss my DROID...stupid cracked screen drove me back to my non-cracked screen iPhone.

SERIOUSLY...what the eff was I thinking, working at a church that holds a massive food festival every fall?! *headdesk*

[Kyran O'Hurn]

yeah I got a GSIII in China when I was there, but went back to my BB-Bold when I got back to Canada since most of my friends and family use BBM. So now that I can use it on android as of tomorrow, I'm going back to the SIII.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I'm excited to got to Rose City Comic Con tomorrow. :) wearing my new dresssssss

[Ilias Nytrau]

My brain is fullllllllll. Curse you, four-hour accounting class.

[Sasha Sains'Cyr]

OMG...need to stop listening to sports talk while entering data in a spreadsheet. Inevitably, random Greeks are ending up with the last names of the Red Sox roster >_<

On the other hand...the plus side to working at a crazy busy festival? FOOD. OM NOM NOM!

[Ilias Nytrau]

Geez, HE'S JUST BOBBING HIS FOOT. No need for a freakout and a meltdown, ffs. >.<

[Lilaena De'Ville]

So the con was fun, Jewel Staite is hilarious and has great stories, and I got a ton of compliments on my dress. Seriously. I kept looking down at it like I'd never seen it before (after the double take 'are you talking to me?') before saying thank you. :lol I felt like a dummy, but even after I realized I was doing it I couldn't stop! :p

i do need to get better at talking to strangers. But I did talk to Chin Chin from Heroes of Cosplay for about a minute. She was very nice.

[Ilias Nytrau]

Oh, key lime soda. I missed you. <3

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I find a few beers and a few more (5-6) pulls from the sweet tea vodka skin very helpful in making my 'ARGH PERSONAL BUBBLE GET AWAY' hangup go away. Not to mention I'm a chatterbox when buzzed ^_^

[Tom Harriman]

They're on to not doing other things, like not making tails and not doing their defect response checks which often result in me having to do ten times as much unnecessary work when all they had to do was one simple little thing :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

That's called Job Security, Christin ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Haha, not really. I already have enough duties to take care of without having to do other people's jobs :p

[Emelie Shadowstar]

^^ 2nds?

of course it would help if I had a clear idea of what exactly my job entails now that upper management seems determined to revamp my entire department.

[Ilias Nytrau]

The first step to relieving stress is being able to recognize you're stressed in the first place.

"Kids don't feel pain like we do xxoo" - some idiot on Facebook in a friend's question about getting his eight month old's ears pierced. OH MY GOD.

is this Dumbo? Are babies made of rubber?

i wouldn't get an infant's ears pierced because that is 100% a painful cosmetic choice you're making for someone who in incapable of making any decisions. It would be just for your benefit. It doesn't have to do with how your child feels or what she wants, it is all about You.

maybe I'm just angry I had to wait until I was 13 to get my ears pierced. :colbert

Yes and those little babies getting circumcised just wail for fun. The pain and the chances of horrific circumcision mess ups is why we avoided that for our son.

UGH, PEOPLE. Right?

[Crusader]

^^Has someone pointed out to that person that the child would have to wear earrings from now on so that the hole does not close itself in a few days? First of all that would be additional work next to changing diapers and you basicly give your child something to play with that will most likely fuck up the childs ear shape due to the whole playfull pulling and if one of those ear rings ever gets off it will end up in the childs mouth at some point.

So yes Holly you are right simply for savety reasons. ;)

[Droo]

I never understood the strange phenomenon of circumcision outside of religious reasons, which is also a terrible reason, and medical reasons. And for those who claim it is for hygiene reasons, well, isn't that like cutting your hands off to prevent them getting dirty? Then there's the matter of female circumcision, which is just another level of cruelty and madness.

Comprehension of the baby piercing thing, however, is within my grasp. People can be utterly stupid.

They've already done the piercing...their baby has a hearing aid as well and doesn't mess with that so they're pretty confident that she isn't going to pull on the earrings. Well, and it will HURT right now if she does, that's reason enough not to touch them.

But yeah. Plus I remember the stuff I had to put on my ears after they were done and it stung every time. :x

There's probably a better use of my time than cycling through my bookmarks looking for something new. It's like looking in the fridge every five minutes expecting better food to show up.

Where do you come off telling me that I don't know what I'm missing by choosing to not have kids?!

Sometimes I just really resent my coworkers for the shit they spew in my direction.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You're missing 2-3 years of 5-6 dirty diapers a day.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Ha! ^_-


To be honest, I feel more offended by what he said than anything else. It's really hard to put down in writing all the things I find wrong with his statement, especially when he was serious as a heart attack when he said it.

Don't get me wrong; I love hearing about everyone's kids and seeing pictures of them, as well I massively admire parents and the amount of dedication and love it takes to raise children. It's just that for me personally - I don't have the desire for having one of my own.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You can always borrow mine for a while if you want. :)

I'm trying to avoid making internet eye contact with Park right now because just by being here he knows I'm procrastinating on writing stuff.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Sometimes I just really resent my coworkers for the shit they spew in my direction.

If having children can be represented by my co-workers convos - it's full of sleepness nights, years of shitty nappies, colds, injuries, stress, awful things happening to your nice stuff and a whole godawful load of money spent on something that may not even turn out to be much and permanent one step ahead of bankrupt and wondering how they destroyed your XBox with a cracker so you cant play GTA5.

Yeaaaah.... not buying the whole "But they are the bestest thing and you are missing out!!!!" comments at all :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah I hate my kids.

Good grief, people. That doesn't mean you should want to have them but it doesn't mean that people are lying when they tell you they think their kids are the best things despite all the hardships.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh I have no doubt they aren't lying, don't get me wrong. My main point of contention comes from someone projecting their own values on me when they have no clue what I want out of life. I take a lot of joy out of seeing the happiness that people'skids bring them and I laugh at all of the goofy stories they tell me because I legitimately find them funny while at the same time admiring the sheer strength it takes to raise a child (let alone more than one) in today's world.
