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.

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

Bob Bob's impression of a conversation between David Lewis, Allan Gibbard and Emo Phillips. Rmembering it makes me laugh at my desk.

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

Is rice milk sweeter than cow's milk?

Cursory googling indicates no. In fact, less sweet. But the fat differential (I don't know about skim milk, never drink it) affects the perceived sweetness.

However, I don't sweeten my cocoa either way. I like the bite.

This is why I complain about added sugar so often.

What is even happening?

You're sweet enough, apparently.

Most of the supermarket sort of pre-sweetened instant cocoa mixes are a little too sweet for me, but I keep them on hand anyhow, for when the kids come in from the snow. Generally, I'm in the middle of cooking supper or something, and adding hot water is so much easier than the from scratch sort.

I give my kids at least 70%, at all most times.

I mix them with at least half coffee.

I have an irrational squick against cocoa and water. In fact, sugar makes it easier to get past (and I toss in a bunch of creamer powder), but I try and avoid it anyway. I don't like chocolate ice, or chocolate soda. Rice milk is the thinnest thing I like to mix it with.

Right. Yes. Lunch. Should eat that.

I've decided I hate Olive Garden. No, not because of the mediocre food or even because the last time my brother ate at one, the waiter swiped his card number and then gave himself a $400 tip (idiot. But it got fixed.) No, it is because of their damned commercial.... hey mambo, mambo italiano, hey mombo....

AHHHHHHHRG.

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

No, it is because of their damned commercial.... hey mambo, mambo italiano, hey mombo....

You should avoid the movie Married To The Mob then because they use that song prominently.

That's easy enough to do. I can't help but avoid even movies I want to see. Still, someone go spork OG.
