OOC Raves

Kyriella

Snow day tomorrow, and grad school is cancelled for the day! Yes, that means more work to catch up on later in the week... and yes, I'll still do work at home... but it's a snow day! The fact that I get one makes my little Californian heart bounce with glee (and thank the heavens that this East Coast thing is only temporary, with a return to the West Coast planned as soon as I graduate).

Someone left me this on the forums.

Rant: It's so cold here that my coworker bought a shitty space heater from Walmart a while ago and has been using it (we can't do the same because any more and it'll blow the circuit. Jackass.)

He then left it on after leaving today.

Rave: I got to leave him this on the whiteboard outside of his cube to return to tomorrow morning. (I really hope this scales some, I am so bad at image editing for forums like this x.x)

#1: fuck yeah double forum phase

#2: Australia. I'd forgotten how awesome it is to be able to pick up a decent sandwich from the deli without resorting to subway. And also KFCs with fries more awesome than McDonald's fries. And being able to buy chocolate without obsessively scrutinising the "made in" label so as to dodge the crappy M'sia / Thailand imported ones (which taste like ass). And Lift (fuck yeah Lift) and so many manly looking men. Some with beards. I was in nearly instant SPG Heaven heehee. so yes: fuck yea Australia.

I now have a craving for Lift and 42 Below Vodka, with a side of KFC chips (Yeah, that's right, I said chips)

And you are correct to call them that.  KFC and Red Rooster are chips, Mcdonalds and Hungry Jacks are fries. *sagenod*

Kyrra

KFC chips are something I really miss. My dentist is right across from a KFC outlet too.

Berenene

I prefer red rooster to be honest. With extra salt, because they aren't bad enough for you

Antonius

The hell are you getting at KFC in Australia? Pictures please. Even in the UK they're fries (and they kinda suck).

Berenene

Chips, they're thicker then the french fries at mcdonadls/hungry jacks.

@Antonius: And they're flavoured with chicken salt instead of regular salt, which is the best kind of flavouring salt next to the peri salt from Nando's

Kyrra

The hot chips I used to get from the diner next door to my office had the option of chicken salt instead of regular salt or vinegar. They were so delicious.

Ok, new rave:

Chicken Salt!

What is chicken salt, and is this something us heathen americans can enjoy?

It is chicken-flavoured salt. Or maybe just salt of a flavour complementary to eating with chicken. According to wikipedia it contains 'chicken extract' and spices that may include

black pepper
celery seed
chili powder
garlic powder
kala namak
marjoram
mustard seed
onion powder
oregano
paprika
sugar
thyme
turmeric
white pepper
MSG
soy sauce powder
propylene glycol
red dye no. 2
scumm
axle grease
and/or pepperoni

There are some shit-awful brands and some magical brands. I mean, I assume there are some magical brands because charcoal chicken places must get it from somewhere, but I know there are some awful ones because the couple of times I've bought it from supermarkets it has been just terrible.

First answer: No.

My first answer is in response to the what I read at first: "healthy americans."

As for heathen americans, yes.  It often comes in the form of "seasoned fries."  If you've ever gotten the potato wedges from a Wal-Mart deli, it's pretty similar (at least, compared to what I've always seen as "chicken salt."  You silly Aussies may call it something similar, what with your remarkable abs, spectacular thighs, and perfect cultivated accents.)

Yeah, you can buy it from shops here, stocked proudly with other flavoured salts like bbq, chilli and garlic.  Garlic salt is also made of pure win.  I'm pretty certain over here, the seasoning used on potato wedges is different from chicken salt.  @Blujixapugthis is one of the best ones I've found

Eld

My rant is that "chicken salt" is a thing that exists (and is apparently intended as food, rather than an emetic).

Edit: Oops, forgot this was raves rather than rants, because why would such a thing as chicken salt exist in raves?

Jurixe

My local radio station is doing a three hour Disney songs tribute.

There are no words to express how delighted I am right now.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I want your radio station!

@jurixe

Your forum siggy makes me pretty envious. It's too cute, bwahah. -boop-

Also, @Ruth for the dino who isn't sure what it's doing in the forum siggy, like it's going, "say, what?" or, "who said bacon?"

Damn, I've been meaning to get back into that game for ages. I only recall playing a Minotaur Berserker most of the time, I think. Never finished. Well done!

Hey, @Arditi, stop cheating on Achaea with other games then gloating about it on the forums.
Why you break our heart?

TODAY IS BEST.

I taught sixth grade today. I was at the same school as yesterday. Let us review what made today awesome at school:

1. The teacher left amazing lesson plans. I never had to fumble about for anything.

2. The students did all their work.

3. Let's talk about these kids. They were phenomenal. They were so well behaved that not only did I leave a note saying they were epic today (yes, that wording), but I stopped by to tell the principal how awesome they were. I even left a note on the board -to the class-, thanking them. Kids like that deserve the praise. I hope I get to substitute for them again!

4. The students I had yesterday all stopped me in the hall to say hi and smile.

5. Four students in the class, one of whom is a known trouble maker, told me I was the best sub ever. Wot.

I didn't sleep much last night, because I was worried a check I wrote was going to bounce. I had $1.71 in my account. I called to check after school, and my federal refund got deposited today

Better day going better, I'm about to make the biggest credit purchase I've ever made in an IRE

TODAY IS BEST DAY.
