@OldCatLday is an extremely wonderfully cool person!
31Back in the mehxchange v6.0 thread, she mentioned that she had some woot-off lights to give away and I whined like a little bitch about how I’d never gotten any from woot over the years. (You can view this for yourself by clicking here and reading down a few posts.)
Anyroads, she sent me said box and I opened it and got this stuff in it:
-the aforementioned YELLOW! Woot-Off lights!
-SArCaSm sweatshirt
-Morning Mood t-shirt
-t-shirt w/ninja over moon that I cannot find name of
-two Monkeys that I didn’t already have
-a Krampus mug
-calamondin seeds and peel
I have already contracted with @miraclewhispers to bake cookies (sans coconut) for @oldcatlady.
People on meh.com (well, many of them) are wonderful souls!
Thanks so much, @oldcatlady!!!
(@narfcake… can you please help with a link to the ninja tee’s page?)

The UnNinja was a shirt-of-the-month exclusive.
@narfcake Thanks. I figured it might be one of those. Is there a list/search engine for them?
@baqui63 If by search engine, you mean tagging me to see if I remember it or not …
@narfcake That works for me…
@oldcatlady One can never have too much alcohol.

This is not an example of fake news. This is true news. Otherwise known, using traditional and ancient terminology, as “a fact”.
@f00l And not using more modern terminology like an “alternative fact”
@f00l
I toil an endless battle with writers and reporters, continually attempting to educate them in the difference between fact and speculation, between news and commentary. SMH.

I guess I can’t fault giphy for the woeful lack of Sisyphus gifs on the interwebs.

@ruouttaurmind
In what setting do you conduct these battles?
Shouldn’t competent reporters know this?
@f00l One would hope. Influence of the national media are far reaching and difficult to contradict. Combine equal parts showmanship of Bill Maher, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, John Stewart, and don’t forget the righties like Ann Coulter, Rush, Billy O, Michelle Malkin, Hannity…
After watching a few hours of CNN, then reading the Post or WSJ, I guess it’s no mystery why young journalists get confused.
This is the sweet silly stuff I come to meh for. (Although I do plan to grab a cold brew thing at 8am)
I like that coffee t shirt perfect for today’s item too.
@CaptAmehrican I totally agree!
@CaptAmehrican since u have the V, might as well wait for 4PM edt?
Man, I really have to try this whining like a little bitch thing.
@mehbee You might not get lucky. Can we say glitter bomb?
@mehbee Someone on Woot gifted me a pair of Woot-off lights and sent some NASA stuff with them. Some folks are the best. Just like @oldcatlady.
@Kidsandliz As much as I love glitter, and it’s a lot, I do not think I would like a glitter bomb.
@sammydog01 Yes there are wonderful people out there and most of them are in this forum!
@mehbee
You’re very welcome indeed. From my POV, I got rid of the lights, some duplicate/quintuplicate shirts, one of the sweatshirts that @mikibell gives me grief about every time the subject comes up, and some monkeys that were stuffed in a closet. And I get cookies out of it. Yes!!!
@OldCatLady Reply to my latest email (or answer here) re: possible allergy issues and the cookies will soon be on their way.
It is a shame that apple pies do not ship well because @miraclewhispers’ apple pie is something extremely delicious and totally worthy of worship, taking over a day to make (the sliced apples have to drain overnight so that the filling does not collapse when baked, ala Alton Brown, tho she has modified his recipe to make it her own).
@baqui63
@baqui63 No allergies except conch fritters. I can and do eat almost anything. No Limburger or sauerkraut, though.
@OldCatLady I bet you would like my kielbasa and sauerkraut… unlike most Americans, I actually cook the sauerkraut (2-4 hours or more) with sauteed onions, apples, prunes and beer (a lager like Rolling Rock or PBR) and then use it to deglaze the pan in which I sear the kielbasa after scoring it with a knife… also kielbasa is pronounced “klo-basi” here). I have had many people say they didn’t like sauerkraut until they tasted mine… (My father was Slovak, my mother from the deep south and my father-in-law was a French chef, plus I’ve watched every episode of Good Eats at least twice. This has resulted in both good and bad tastes from my kitchen, but over the years the good has greatly outweighed the bad.)
I shall get the daughter unit started on your cookies, telling her to make whatever she wants that isn’t coconut and will ship well. I’m presuming that the return address sticker thing on the package to me is the proper address to which it should be shipped; if not, please correct via email.
@OldCatLady that was my most favorite from your bunch…maybe I will let it go?..or maybe not!
@baqui63 @miraclewhispers No cookie was broken, not even a crumb. I have just eaten three in a row, so I guess that’s my supper. I’ve never had better chocolate chip walnut cookies in my life. Thank you very much indeed. And they’re spectacular, food porn of the highest quality. Best chocolate chip cookies ever.
Still life with cookies:
@OldCatLady Happy to hear it!
@OldCatLady Would you like to share with the class?
@OldCatLady
You are a heroic example of self discipline.
/giphy "How is this possible"
@Barney Nope. They keep evaporating. Stare at the pictures and weep.

/giphy disappearing cookies
@OldCatLady Most awesome that they arrived undamaged and more so that you like them.
@miraclewhispers, thank you again.
Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch.
Ok, everyone. I’ve done my side of this.
Now you all get to send me really genuinely valuable expensive desirable things I can either keep and show off. or sell for huge accounts of $ on eBay.
I would really appreciate if you would all have everything professionally appraised first. I will let you know what meets my standards.
@f00l
Sounds like a plan.

@OldCatLady you are awesome
@AttyVette If I’d known that a monkey and some USB lights and a duplicate shirt would get those cookies, I’d have done it long ago. They’re spectacular. Good news is that they ruin you for Keebler’s permanently. Bad news is that I’m down to 31.
