Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109

[Nychta]

Oh, what games do you have for the DS then?

Which in a roundabout way reminds me that we got a PS3 and Littlebigplanet. But we've had it for a couple weeks. Dad couldn't wait for Christmas.

[Ash08]

wait... Ash as in me? Stay anway from my grandmother or she'll stuff you with m'n'ms's ta death. hehe.


actually, she is really quite sweet but she has so many jars with candy around the house staying with her is horrible.

[Rutskarn]

In the interest of full disclosure...

RUTSKARN'S SECRET WEAKNESS.

Put out a jar of Jelly Belly gourmet jelly beans, random assortment.

It'll be all I can do not to grab random handfuls and shove them down my gullet. Yeah, even the crappy ones, like Popcorn and Dr. Pepper flavored ones. I'm addicted.

In fact, I think I'll bop off and draw a pic of Rutskarn hopped up on jelly beans. This has potential.

[Felixaar]

Merry Christmas Again, all.

...More chocolate!

*runs away*

I just realized that, for the first time, I let slip my wife's name...

@xNadia: hi, I have never really been on when you are, greetings!

And I really don't know what games I will have available. I hope they are good though.

[Dragon555]

I so love my family's ritual watching of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." It truly makes the whole holiday.

Of course, I'm a big fan of Dr. Suess, so that helps.

[Nychta]

*waves* hi TwoBit!

Well, you might not have been around when I am, but I'm stalking you!
*puts on dark glasses and proceeds to go around enquiring about a TwoBitWriter and Ash*

Ohhh my goodness. Gourmet jellybeans. Or jellybeans in general. I usually grab handfuls and skilfully toss my least favourite to friends. It takes them a while to realise I'm just giving them the terrible flavours.
Okay I have a craving now. I wonder if the buses are operating? And are the shops open? Most probably not. Dang.

One of my best friends is at Taupo. Left without telling me. How sad!

[Coidzor]

In fact, I think I'll bop off and draw a pic of Rutskarn hopped up on jelly beans. This has potential.

Just make sure to give us a heads up about it when it's good and posted.

Y'know, I wonder if couples who live together are capable of enjoying the holidays better or if it's just one of those things to shame the unaligned into finding a mate....

[Rutskarn]

As in all things relationship-related, I imagine that it's highly subjective.

[Uncle Festy]

Like staying up and talking to weird people on the internet whom I've never met.

Hey, I resent that!
I am not people!

ZOMG!
Jelly Bellies!
Gimmiegimmiegimmie!
…
*cough*
Hey, Popcorn Jelly Bellies are awesome! But yeah, DP sucks.
In any event, has anyone else been to to the Jelly Belly factory in California? It's like heaven on earth, only tastier. Mmmm…

Well, it's the 25th for me. Merry Christmas, for those who celebrate it! (Aka not me. )

You know, I actually never thought they were terrible (although they're not my favorite, not by a long shot). Everyone I know compares them to various forms of deadly poison, though.

[Nychta]

I don't believe I've tried those versions, actually. We must not get those flavours over here.

However, the first time I tried Dr. Pepper, I detested it, so I guess I'd hate the jellybean version as well.
And nobody can capture popcorn in jellybean form! It is too awesome.

One thing I want to try when I get better is the goodygoody gumdrop icecream! They have now figured out how to put it on a stick and sell it individually! Oh, but the wonders of modern science.

Dr. Pepper is alright, but definitely not my favorite cola.

I'm a person who thinks that soft drinks are the end all and be all in refreshment technology. I'll drink a glass of ice-cold water every now and then, and I drink juice with breakfast every morning, but the only thing I like drinking in the interim is cool, refreshing carbonated sugar-water.

My favorite's Coke, but Cactus Cooler is pretty much the nectar of the gods as well. Fanta just can't compare.

[Jibar]

And so with a collective of maybe two, three hours sleep, I prove yet again that I am still a child at heart.

Merry Christmas Random Banter.

[TwoBitWriter]

*waves* hi TwoBit!

Well, you might not have been around when I am, but I'm stalking you!
*puts on dark glasses and proceeds to go around enquiring about a TwoBitWriter and Ash*

I'm not that terribly hard to find... I'm very easily stalkerable.

Now, off to bed... technically it's been Christmas for an hour now, but wifey and I need to get some sleep!

[Nychta]

*hugs Jibbers* yayy! And stuff.

I dunno, I usually drink water. Mostly because I wasn't allowed much sugar water when I was younger, I suppose. Played hell with my eczema. Still does. But yeah, coke is good. Vanilla coke is nice when I can get it! And I have never heard of cactus cooler.

[Player_Zero]

No one else in my famioly is up yet and it's 10:30.

Lazy buggers.

[ghost_warlock]

I feel the same way, P_Z. It's already 5:00!

[Quincunx]

This year's Christmas miracle: I managed to wake up before my husband.

He now has proper sheepskin fuzzy slippers, which I need to open up a bit more at the ankle but which are otherwise properly snug and warm.
I now have a bread maker. (Why does it also have a "jam" setting? Apparently, yes, it cooks jam.)

[potatocubed]

Breadmakers are freaking miracle boxes. Throw in a couple of tomatoes, some yeast, an old boot, and BOOM! Bread comes out!

Or at least, that's how I hear they work. >.>

[ghost_warlock]

My mom got a breadmaker a few years back. I've always been a bit peeved that the recipe book that came with it didn't have one listed for 'pimento loaf.'

Wow! Jammy bread. It's set to take the world by force. Homemade jam is nice. Although last time I made some it went a bit wrong. I forgot to crush the fruit, so I ended up with whole blackberries in syrup.

[Thufir]

My mum had to get me out of bed at 10:30 so we could have breakfast and open presents. Mine are pretty good. Doctor Who, Shakespeare, Dark Knight. However I am saddened by the lack of Stoppard.
Now I need to fill in my new diary.

[Quincunx]

Sounds delicious enough, but thanks for the warning; my mind was wandering to the blackberry brambles so far as the 'jam' setting was concerned.

As far as the Jelly Bellies go, the toasted popcorn ones, while a miracle of food science, leave an aftertaste that persists for days, and the cappuccino ones are never to be given to the hyper.

[Phase]

*Sigh* I love vacation periods. I was just able to sleep in longer than I could on even a Sunday, and get away with it.

Boom-de-yada, and all that.

[Coidzor]

Good Times. Good times.

So I have delivered the onslaught of novelty IKEA gifts unto the family. And now I'm hiding up in my room while the cats go crazy on the wrapping paper.

[Uncle Festy]

I now have a bread maker.

Mmmm. Bread makers.
My family just got our hands on one, and we're trying to make it work and stuff.

[Rutskarn]

Vanilla coke is nice when I can get it! And I have never heard of cactus cooler.

I'm guessing it's very regional.

Looks something like this:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...cooler_can.jpg

(For the investigative types, this pretty much blows my cover, location-wise)

Tastes like orange Fanta, but not quite as much bitterness and a sort of mellow pineapple flavor mixed in.

Waiting for the rest of the gang to be up so we can start.

[Coidzor]

Dang, now I wish I was near enough to that region to get some. That's actually one of those no-brainer/brilliant simple fruit flavor combinations that one never sees in soda.

Now to just find out where Rutskarn is claiming to be from... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Ed: Wikipedia says: South-Western US. Who'd've thunk it.

[Player_Zero]

I got a camera and a webcam. Expect pictures of my cat. Possibly photoshopped.
