I'm at the maybe stage for this. It depends on how the usual Saturday plans shake out for me.

That's just it, I don't know who's coming. Kid's going to run the show for that TF, so I will differ to him on roster, etc. -
Awww. I don't think you're in any other channels I'm on. I'll miss ya Stale.

How about meanest bacon moments? I check my rep comments outta curiousity, and some... character.... gives me a red chicklet with this: "bacon+grilled cheese = heart attack special".
My brain is trying to work how this is a heart attack special. This is tame compared to plenty of dishes in sit down restaurants /without/ bacon in em. -
Quote:My secret meatloaf sauce is a doctored up bbq sauce. You start with your bottled bbq sauce of choice, add a bit of stoneground/dijon mustard of choice, add some sweet and sour sauce, garlic (roasted is better for this), and some maple syrup. I don't have exact proportions, but mix it to taste. Add a small amount to your ground beef/egg/bread crumb mixture. Brush a layer of sauce to your meatloaf. Add bacon, then add more sauce. Let it bake, and occasionally baste with more sauce. As the meatloaf cooks, the sauce will caramelize and turn nice on the bacon.Originally Posted by Blazing_Blue
Holy crap! I never thought about that Vyx...I've put salsa in it before, dale's seasoning, A1, liquid smoke, whorechester???? sauce, but never that! I may have to make a meatloaf now just to try that out.

I also forgot the guilty pleasure of making meatloaf just to eat the candied bacon on the top. Candied bacon is the bacon that crisps while glazed in generous amounts of bbq sauce.

Quote:BC sandwiches are awesome. What is a BC? Why bacon and cheese of course!Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
Try cutting the bacon up, then cooking it, then adding the eggs. Love scrambled eggs with bacon in it.
As for most extreme bacon moment? Making a BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) sandwich, sans L&T.
Even better? A Bacon Grilled Cheese sammich. Nom noms.
Now I'm hungry.

Quote:And if you check sales and deals now for holiday items (yes, I've seen Christmas stuff out already), you can pick up cards for a song - I'm always looking for good deals on cards and then will store em until I need them.Originally Posted by Ura Hero
I printed out cards last year. I think my total outlay postage and all was under $30. I'm pretty sure I could have done it for a lot less if I had bought a box of stock cards.
Another reason why this is Coming Soon(tm). I probably should see about getting this stickied. Hmm.... -
Welcome back!
I'd like to submit Trick Candle for perusal. She's a sassy fire/fire brute (I almost typed frute) who loves to play with fire. -

Thanks for the generous offer mousedroid, but I wasn't interested in the prizes even if I won. I just like making costumes and helping someone else achieve a look they like is always a great feeling! I love making costumes.
Ya know... that might work excellently with the shade of light green you went with for the Celtic knotwork.Quote:Originally Posted by mousedroid
The gray knot work on the ingame pic is just a trick of the light, but now that you mention it, I might try making the highlights gray/silver instead of light green to see how they look.
I'll also have to post a pic of the alternate costume based on Alasdair's entry when I get around to constructing it.
And yes, a pic of the alternate costume based on Alasdair's entry is required. Inquiring minds want to know.

Quote:Tsuki left because he was going to school and didn't have the time to play. That reminds me, I should pester the Tsuki to see how he's doing.Originally Posted by Nylonus
Spotts left recently. I think mostly due to financial reasons.
Not exactly sure when and why Tsuki left. -
Quote:Congrats to you as well!Originally Posted by Alasdair
Well done, StormVyxen. A well-deserved success. ^_^
Thank you to mousedroid and also Starwind and Caemgen for the kind words.
I honestly didn't think I'd do this well, more than once I looked at this thread and muttered under my breath 'ooh....I should have done something like that!'
Everyone had great entries in this contest.

I'd like to replace Australia with Belarus.
Back later on this afternoon for another round.

Quote:They probably already jack up the price.... when they reopen for dinnerOriginally Posted by Rastafari_Man
Wait, are we talking about the same place we went last year?
What kind of dining establishment closes at 3pm? That's insane!
They need to be like other buffets and just jack the price up 3 bucks after 3pm.
It's not an uncommon trend for Asian restaurants to close between lunch and dinner to prep and clean the place. -
Quote:Which I didn't catch in the tally to that point. This'll learn me to check /all/ of the posts before I pick. Should I re-pick a second as I was the duplicate Australia?Originally Posted by Bubbawheat
I saw two Australias and two Panamas (the first ones were both mine, which is why I caught them)
edit: heh, they changed Panama to Mauritania, which was also originally my guess ;O_o
Waiting for official word from Joph... -
Last guess for this round - Hong Kong.
-
Guessing Australia for now. Going to ponder my other choice on the way home from work.
-
Antarctica and the United Kingdom.

*squees* She's adorable!! Thank you!!

I've got 5 hours before I can post another number - so I may or may not be back to post there. If I don't, pregratz to the winner!

Stick with two basic colors and possibly a third accent color that compliments the other two. If you're not sure, stick to a tights with a pattern. There's quite a few patterns that have that "classic" feel to them. Remember, simple can be better than trying to use every type of costume part. Go with what you think looks and feels right based on the toon's personality.
As for boots - I stick to female toons and prefer a basic leather/tight boot, often with a pattern that compliments the chest and bottom pattern(s).
More often than not, the random button can give you different ideas, sometimes outlandish, but it'll give you an idea of what does and doesn't look good to you.
Hope this helps!
