Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That....doesn't really sell me on it.

Do you like chocolate? Deep chocolate? Do you love chocolate? Find yourself craving it in quiet moments?

Because to me, every description has read as "alternate medium of chocolate delivery" and that's all the pitch I need.

I'm just way too lazy to go into an actual Starbucks and get one.

I was pretty close on Sunday, though.

I'm pretty certain I will never try Chantico ever.

Dear god, why have I been sitting here for 4 hours trying to figure out this pia problem that would have not been a problem if people would just use logic? It's evil.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Chantico was just the kind of pick-me-up I needed at 4 pm. Not the Best! Chocolate! Ever! (That would be Zingerman's hot cocoa cake) but a welcome change from my usual peanut (uh, can't figure out how to spell eminems). Just something new to try.

In related commentary, gatorade is also the perfect thing for a hangover, and does mask vodka quite cheaply.

That's some fucking good chocolate.

Unrelatedly, I love unexpected swearing from other people. A pretty demure co-worker just stood at our printer with a piece of paper in his hand, a pissed-off look on his face yelling "Who the hell did this?" over and over.

Comedy gold.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Vodka doesn't need to be masked! It can be enhanced, or complemented, but masked?!?

PS: M&Ms

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That....doesn't really sell me on it.

Hence my non-career in marketing.

M&Ms. But I prefer your way. Because I like to think of him as Peanut.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

PS: M&Ms

In vodka?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Because to me, every description has read as "alternate medium of chocolate delivery" and that's all the pitch I need.

ita sums up my views on Chantico admirably.

I've been drinking abot a gallon of water a day lately, because I am just that thirsty, and I find that after the 2nd or 3rd quart it starts to taste a lot less appealing. Gatorade (or the organic version I prefer) tastes really good right then.

Why not?

Because you're insane.
