Personally, I like the stars on it. Then we can ALL have all the stars. :D
 
Decided not to wait. Placed my order. I'll be wearing that with a pair of sleep pants at NC!

You're right. I couldn't earn them, so I'll just buy them.

Ta da! For those who want 'em, Post Slut T-shirts!

They're at my Cafe Press store. Two shirts are available, a unisex and a women's (cut more flatteringly for those of us with curves). A Chef Success logo (like the button) is on the back.

That is HYSTERICAL... You're gonna get me in trouble... I'm at work and when I saw that I started laughing so hard everyone wanted to know what I was looking at...

I think it should be the official shirt of the CS Conference.

And the official hat should be a beer hat. You know, the kind that holds a couple of beers (or other adult beverages) and has straws coming down so the wearer can consume them easily.
 
Alcohol just makes me sleepy. Mine will be filled with Frappucino.

Oooh-- that's an even better idea. I'll have mine full of Butter Caramel Iced Cap Supreme from Tim Horton's.

Only grammer geeks will get it, but I like it.

:D

And I think you mean "grammar" geeks.







Who are obviously different people than the spelling geeks.
 
Oops. Fat fingers. I'm usually a spelling geek, too.


So that your post will not become really confusing to others, I will refrain from correcting my grammar post. I hope you understand how truly difficult that is for me.

I do. And I appreciate it. You're much more considerate than some other post-editors. :)

Advanced workshop: Emoticons 2: where to find the good ones
 
:confused: Since apparently none of the truely addicted cheffers can make it more than a few hours without checking the site and making a (very often) pointless comment, how will we make it through three whole days at NC??? I'm not sure I could listen to an entire session that actually stays on track... Where is the fun in that???

I guess the cheffers will be quite easy to find since we will be the group that asks insane, completely-off-the-topic questions CONSTANTLY! Does HO have a penalty for "session-jacking"????
 
We'll be the ones laughing insanely at apparently nothing because something reminded us of a post on CS!

I'm in on this one!! Has anybody thought to send an invite to Dr.Phil??

It would be great to have him host a Venting "Thread":p

But if he was there, he'd want to solve our "problems"... I'm not sure anyone is capable of tackling that challenge...

Since we all have a habit of spraying our computers/keyboards with liquid when reading these things... the people that site right in front of us may not be so amused!

They're not problems, they're "personality quirks."

"Quirks" sounds like we have something that deviates from the norm... I personally think everyone ELSE has the quirks... I'm just fine the way I am...
 
Oh, Katie, you are soooooo right. What's wrong with those people?And, yes, I plan to laugh hysterically at seemingly inappropriate times. Consider yourself warned.

I just realized-- this is a dig at several of us! HEY!

That's why we need our own session of conference. So it's just like being on here for 3 days straight!

(Took long enough!) But, I really was including myself because now I can't even go 4 hours at work without posting anymore... You guys have ruined me...

... or is it saved me from a CS-less life that would otherwise lead to productive time at work and and home... I can't decide!
 
So how many are going to be on CS posting during NC????? That will be a sight!
 
At least we will know what sessions to avoid due to their lack of entertainment value...

And if we all meet, how are we going to have conversations without typing? That should be even funnier!

I guess that creates a new workshop.... I mean "thread"

How to communicate without your fingers.:rolleyes:

Why do have a feeling that this session title will eventually create a smart-alec remark from T.K.G.?????
