I equally blame both Cosmo and Chris Elliot for the feast golem giving me the urge to stat up Spewey the alien from the season 2, episode 11 episode of Get a Life.

My father works on an oil platform in the Gulf of Alaska. My brother's oldest son is living with his mother down in Washington, so we decided to fly him up on the 26th and we'd celebrate Christmas on the 30th.
While we're in Anchorage (Anchorage is the only city with a real airport and the largest city in Alaska holding ~50% of the state's population) we figured we'd hit up some of the sales for after Christmas and decided to stay a little later after picking up my nephew from the airport. However, an ice fog rolls in, and we're all tired, (I blame Cosmo for both) so we figure, "Let's play it safe and stay the night!"
Wake up the next morning and we decide to do a little more shopping. It starts getting dark (at 1 PMish) so we're like "Let's go to the mall on Diamond and then go home". After the mall (and 5 hours later), it's well and truly night time now. We head on over to the gas station, and fill up. We turn onto the road and *silence* the heater suddenly turns off. Also Cosmo's fault.
We start checking the fuses and stuff, come to find out, some of the wiring in the fans melted and shorted out. So now we get to stay another night. In the morning, a friend of ours shows up and says he can fix it. So he spent all morning running around to the various parts stores looking for the right part, before finally finding it. It's fixed now and we're packing up stuff before hitting the road. We're not stopping at any store other than a gas station for some snacks and just getting out of here.
To top it off, both nights the hotels were nearly packed (and just after Christmas) so the hotel rooms cost $200+ a night. Just to throw salt in the wounds, at about 1 PM when it starts getting dark, the temperatures drops to roughly -18 Fahrenheit.
What was going to be a day trip ended up being 3 days and a $2,000 cost.
Thank you very ******* much Cosmo.

Glad you are safe Tels, if a bit frazzled and alot poorer
As Cosmo is receiving the massive share of blame for everything else, I'd be very comfortable instead heaping all cold weather blame onto our very own resident mythic Snow Miser. :)

So it gets more fun for my family and I.
Little background, my father is 1 of 17 children, and each of those kids (except 1 who died when young in a car accident) has, at minimum, 3 kids.
My Brother and Oldest Sister both have 2 kids and have moved out. However, my Sister and her Husband has some financial problems and gave temporary custody of her 2 kids to myself (Godfather) and my parents until they can get back on their feet. I've been the one primarily taking care of them for the past 3 months, and it looks like this won't change until Summer.
So my Aunt and Uncle and their 6 kids came up for Christmas Break to visit family. Yesterday, they packed up to leave and were on their way to Anchorage (as mentioned in previous posts, the only real Airport) to fly back home to the lower 48. As they were leaving, they got t-boned. The other car was at fault, but hit the front end of their Tahoe. Fortunately, no one really got hurt, just some bumps, scratches and bruises.
Anyway, so we went and rescued them and brought them over to our house. As mentioned before, today was intended to be our Chirstmas. We have a family tradition of not wrapping presents until Christams Eve. Started has just hectic holiday season, but now we look forward to it and enjoy it as sort of a challenge.
So, our Christmas Eve has my Sister and her Husband, and my Brother and his Fiance over here wrapping presents. We're doing like a game of Hide-and-don't-see-presents to get it all done. We're also doing massive amounts of baking and dinner prep for the following day.
We get the call about our uncle so we got collect his family. Our house is a 3 bedroom, 1 master, with only 1 bathroom. My Brother's family is a family of 4, my Sister's family is a family of 4, my Uncle's family is a family of 8, and the remainder of my family is a family of 5.
All total, we have 21 people staying in a house designed for 5. With ONE bathroom. Trying to wrap Christmas presents. Attempting to bake and prep dinner. And myself, taking care of all 10 of the children (Aunt is pregnant with the 7th, and both Aunt and Uncle went to the hospital to check on the child).
Cosmo... because Holidays just aren't hectic enough without a little more dabbling.

We had one of those once... there was over 700 people that flew into a town that has a population of 2,500 people. I have a redonculously huge family.

I blame Cosmo for my jetlag, despite not having crossed any timezones, it only being an hour and a half flight, and occurring 22 hours ago. Also, all the creepy clowns I found at a massive thrift store that I could not conceivably bring back in my carry on.
Yeah, I don't recommend mixing It and The Langoliers.

They sell Cosmos at Thrift Stores!?!?

It sounds like a significant portion of Alaska's population is related to you. Its Christmas, so I won't make any of the obvious jokes at your experience.
Merry Christmas, Tels!

For my New Year's Resolution, I resolve to blame Cosmo for my own faults and short comings less ....
....
....
....
Yeah, not going to happen. I'll stick to my original resolution of trying to be part of seven different Pathfinder RPG Products. And if I fail, well, of course it will be Cosmo's fault!

Ugh, Cosmo, you are a master of hope dashing.
Was watching a compilation video of 2014 movies trailers. Some awful ones in there, and some that looked good. Then this trailer starts of a hulking guy wearing a horned helm and his team of travelers in a cave annihilating some monsters. Up above, an enemy force is assaulting a fortified position, as an archer/ninja leads the charge. He notices an elven woman attacking with her own force and he drops down to confront her. Just as he draws his sword, the hulking barbarian guy from below in the caves breaks through to the surface.
Was a trailer for Elder Scrolls Online (that I hadn't seen yet) tossed into a movie compilation trailer and I was *freaking* at the thought of an Elder Scrolls movie.
DASHED! All of it.
I blame Cosmo.

I blame Cosmo for my sour chewy candy's sour granulated coating tearing up the roof of my mouth.
I blame Cosmo even more for the chemicals they use in said sour candy's coating for making it sting even more when I eat it afterwards.
I blame Cosmo yet even more for making it delicious enough I don't want to stop eating it despite that.
I'm sure if I dug deep enough that I would find Cosmo invented the stuff. You're good at what you do.

I blame Cosmo for burning my face when we burned our Christmas tree in the yard last night.
I also blame him for not giving me a badass coin I can use to decide the lives of people by flipping them. Seriously, if you're going to burn my face, you need to let me make a few Two-Face references.
Have you checked your dice?

Can't flip dice, and there is no coin in my dice box.

That reminds me of a time at work. We would fires in the back(mostly to pass the time and well we are a bunch of guys....). We would use...certain chemicals to start the fire(this was my STS days....we had access to a few highly flameable chemicals). Anyway so one day one of my co-workers sprayed half a can on Gum Cutter on to a bunch of card boards boxes and some wood. He seemed very afraid to light it...so I volunteered...to his credit he tried to warn me...anyway so when I lit it....I kinda of learned what it was to be in the middle of a fireball. I had to shave and stuff as my beard was very singed. So I will Blame Cosmo for the above.
I also will Blame Cosmo for me not knowing about Cosmo at the time to blame for this when it happened.

Smallest die I own is a d4.
[Edit] I blame Cosmo for not owning enough dice.

I blame Cosmo for Chris Lambertz removing inappropriate posts in a thread I was reading and me wanting to know what they said.
Don't worry. When you go to sleep tonight, we'll inject Cosmo in a microscopically-shrunken Proteus II into your bloodstream. Once inside, he'll fantastically voyage into your brain and make the corrections in your grey matter so you'll forget about those posts Sara Marie removed.

It was Chris Lambertz I complained about... but I certainly don't remember being annoyed by posts removed by Sara Marie, so I guess Cosmo succeeded on that one.
