Now when I wrote the pledge- when we showed that in the thread, earlier today, we said we hoped the cookies would be out of the oven "Some time," but "Don't hold me to that" was what I actually said. We did the update earlier today, and obviously people have been waiting a long time for these cookies. A large amount of the company, especially now, has been working on them. We've got extra help from the German bakers, which is a bunch of pastry experts. I've got a build on my plate with both the Choc Chips and the fidelitous mouthfeel, so I'm actually actually helping out with the baking a bit. But we didn't want to give a date because, well, we don't want the cookies to get burnt by that.

In reality, we're probably weeks off. We're shooting to have the dough in the pan round-about Christmas or slightly after New Years. We're really talking about people getting to eat these cookies in a matter of 3, 4, maybe 5 weeks.

As long as I can be sure you are all up night baking, saving us from the tyranny of bakeries like Keebler (who keep releasing the same cookies year after year), I am willing to wait as long as it takes. In fact, put me down for a Lesnick Pack! (Also, do any of them come with LTI, so, when I eat them, I get a base model of the same cookie for free?)

Found this video in my related suggestions, I'm always down to see the hot new FPS games for 2017 so I clicked it.

Only a few are actually any good, like Ghost Warrior 3 and Prey, the rest look like mods from the early 2000's which makes sense now since SC is featured halfway through

Wearing dark shades, munching TimTams and drinking from a sippy cup on stream doesn't prove anything. Unless Sandi straight up admits to spending backer money on weed you can't prove anything! Besides, if it were true she would have just been eating those boxes of donuts instead of dropping them in front of Ben.

Some diets allow for unlimited amounts of vegetables, make a gigantic stack of them with a shitload of added butter (just for taste) and you have a horrifically unhealthy massively oversized meal that can be technically labelled "healthy".
