Well, today I leveled up both in real life (turned 26 today) and on Newgrounds. Nice.

Level 9 ^_^

Like I say, I'm not trying to judge you. Picking up on snatches of conversation while walking around a shopping mall could be awkward if I did :P

I know you weren't. You'd be surprised at how much there is to know about my life than what I post on here.

I try to keep some aspects of real life away from Newgrounds. I'm not sure that I do a good enough job, though :P

Oh man, that's got to be extreme. I'm good with my nice Jagerbombs.

Just something that we came up with, because we hated the Red Bull. It worked surprisingly well.

Last time I had rum I ended up having too much. Whoops.

Well, I was barely half a mile from home and had staggered that route many times before.

Come to think about it, a monthly B/P update would not be a bad idea. It's something I'll ask on the next update.

There you go - a little pressure release valve.

Although, another thing that feels a bit tiring to do after a while is my weekly searches for new users. I just copy what's been tracked on the deposits page and then find more users to add on for appropriate spreadsheets that way.

Draft in helpers, who are willing to do your research for you?

I have two Facebook accounts for a reason. It's a shame having multiple Facebook accounts isn't a convenience on a smartphone. I would merge the two but only if privacy settings improve and right now they downright suck since whatever I say on the site anywhere gets sent to news feeds of family and friends.

Well, this whole thing is kinda a solo task. Whatever I find goes to my email.

3,000th forum post.

Over 11,000 saves as well today.

I must be getting old, that one took an age - 112,000 B/P

Awesome, ranked #145 for experience, prior to my account being compromised numerous years back, I had reached #146. I have now surpassed the highest ranking my account has ever reached. Took forever. Super.
(If the aforementioned account jacking never took place, I believe I'd nearly be in the top 50 by now.)

Now if only we could get some good, nice sized, impressive level icons again, I'd actually look froward to leveling up, rather than strictly just gaining stats.
Well, at least I'll once again be part of the gold level icons within a few days... That counts for something, I guess.

I just received myself a shiny new Gold Whistle.

Coop tries to get a lot of stuff done in one morning. Congratulations to:

Over at a friend's barbecue and the drinking lasted for about 8 hours. I staggered out of his and across to the other side of the hill, down my road, in through the door and managed the stairs in one go... on the third attempt, so I'm told.

Damn, that was a very slow recovery but at least you're back there now. I will agree that the level icons just don't feel the same as the older ones but I get by with them.

Jagermeister is something that I do not drink for the flavour. Merely to prove that I can stomach it.

So, do you also drink turpentine? :P

Since that could be bad for your health drinking a mere shot of that, I don't want to prove I can stomach it.

Alcohol can be bad for your health as well.

This is an awesome name for a brand of nuts.

But Jagerbombs are great; short and sweet.

I much rather have a beer instead. Or, nothing at all if the only stuff to drink would be Jaegermeister (or something that contains mostly Jaegermeister).

Don't worry, I'm still a beer fan but Jagerbombs are grand for occasions.

Much better are Cocktails like White Russian or Mai Tai. But you can't drink them quickly.

Anyways congrats on your new shiny.

With that vote, you now have 16,890 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 40.

You entered the top 800 in Experience Points. Outstanding!

That's weak if it's total voting power, but for base, it's actually pretty good. I've been here almost 9 years and I've only got a base voting power of 9.40. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I wouldn't call it "healthy drinking" by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that drinking more in one hit is worse for you than having the occasional glass of something with a meal, or with friends.

The chainsaw was a favorite of mine as well. Looking forward to level 40 since it's double katanas. They look more or less the same as they did before.

Should that be a katana / wakisashi combination? I mean it's difficult to wield one katana in one hand, without wielding an identical on in the other...
