Two weeks out puts in the last week of October. That is always possible..Any time a new build is released there is the possibility of a new bug showing up. All I can tell ya for sure is no need to be a refresh monkey this week. Next week you may need to be one.....but not this week. I've been around play testing for BFC since late 2006. When releases get to this point I have seen them escalate super fast to release and I have seen them hit a roadblock. I've seen where one of these builds comes out and after trying to break it for a couple of days everyone says "it's good to go" and BOOM. I've also seen it where a new build fixes something and when we try to break it we break it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, in olden times when pots and kettles were used over the open flames of hearth or cooking fires, soot would form on their bottoms and sides. They would both become blackened so neither could claim to be cleaner or better than the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pots in question were typically made of copper and over the open flame with get quite sooty. So, the phrase is meant for good natured ribbing when someone says something that ends up being like "do as I say, not as I do" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
