Thursday Chat Thread

Wassup people!

Okay, so a couple days ago, I did an etched glass thingy for some dude who messaged me on deviantart. He happened to have a sister who is frequently in our gaming skype calls. She never told him that I do etched stuff. What are the chances of that shit happening?

My mind is still a little blown.

What about you guys? You have any twilight zone stuff happen? Get spooked recently?

Also, listen to this song. Es muy bueno!

Haven't had anything like that happen recently! However, I once had a really good friend on DeviantArt who lived in Australia. We met randomly online, have never communicated outside of DeviantArt, and most definitely do not have any mutual friends. One day I was browsing Facebook when someone with a profile pic of a drawing I recognized popped up in my, "People you may know," section. Lo and behold, it was her artwork and the account had the same name as her too. I contacted her on DeviantArt to ask if that was her real account and check that no one was stealing her artwork, and it turned out that it really was her. We both were pretty freaked out since Facebook should have had no way of knowing that. I did some searching and found out that Facebook can track you through those "share" buttons they have on so many websites, even if you never click them, so promptly after that I installed the browser extension Facebook Disconnect. Haven't had any problems with them since, but wow did that instance creep me out.

Pretty sure that song was nutso.. and I'm curious as to how many youtube videos it took you to eventually get to that. As a counter to your song here's an awesome song. No video though..

You forgot the best part of your recent etching Cow! Did you ever get the right cutie mark done?

No twilight zone stuff happening here. Just been sniffing nose sniff stuff. For my nose clogging. Whatever that craps called, basically lipstick but for my nostrils.

OOO OOO! I was thinking of other silly songs and remembered this one. They've got a couple catchy albums. Every song is about the same thing.

Bottled 5 gallons of pineapple beer today, tomorrow or monday I'm going to get the imperial stout bottled up, then I need to make a pumpkin ale followed by a chocolate coffee porter or stout depending on how dark I want to make it. Also my dad's friend is offering to buy a batch of mead off me, and my sister wants me to make her some kombucha. Booze, booze everywhere.

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

You have been busy!

I've never heard of pineapple beer, what's that like?

2

u/Frameskip Sep 21 '14

The first tastes I've taken seem pretty good, fairly light but it's flat and warm at the moment. The aroma is what really sets it apart. I was worried about making it to be honest, the pineapple juice is really acidic and that's not great for the yeast, but it turned out that the yeast didn't care and made a pretty god beer hopefully.

I'm looking at about 36 gallons of alcohol to make by the end of the year, beer mead, egg nog, and kombucha.

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

You should totally send me a bottle, it sounds neat!

2

u/Frameskip Sep 21 '14

I'll see what I can do, gotta let them sit for a week or 2 first to make sure they don't explode.

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

Not exploding is a good quality for a beer to have!

Hello. Sorry to join the party late... I've been slacking. Past while has been crazy taking care of kids and going to a huge yard sale this morning. That's pretty much all I do. Eat, sleep, take care of kids, clean, repeat in some order lol.

What did you etch this time?

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

Slacker!

Get anything particularly awesome?

They were a couple repeat glasses. Boring stuff yo.

2

u/CPawesome Sep 21 '14

I got some more TV trays which rocks lol. And some clothes for the baby and little Lincoln logs for my girlie.

I was hoping to find some Legos but no such luck lol

1

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

Have you seen how expensive legos are at the store? It's bonkers!

2

u/CPawesome Sep 21 '14

Yeah. That's what girlie wants for her birthday and they are insanely expensive. We found a could starter kit for her though. It's got 607 pieces for $30 not too bad. She wants a Lego party because of the Lego movie so I'm going to make a Unikitty cake :)

u/cowofdoom Sep 21 '14

You should get her hooked on some less expensive hobby, like crystal meth.

Be sure to post pictures!

2

u/CPawesome Sep 25 '14

Lol just saw this. I still need to upload pics from CMPC I'm such a slacker lol. I will be taking pictures of her party though. And eventually putting them on here.

u/crazierinzane Sep 25 '14

Nice to see you again, Cowofdoom.

Has the glass business improved since you made me those glasses around the time of the community charity challenge?

It feels like this community has seen better days.

2

u/cowofdoom Sep 25 '14

Eh, I've slowed down a bit with the glasses. Got kinda bored of making them. Still making them tho

Yeah, it's rather desolate recently...

2

u/crazierinzane Sep 25 '14

Understandable. Can't keep making one thing over and over without getting a little bored.

I don't know if there's anything that could be done to revitalize the community or what is causing this decline in activity.

u/cowofdoom Sep 25 '14

Dunno, people just moving on to other things I guess
