Turns out truffles HAVE been cultivated and, that, in 1900 they were much more common and most people used them a lot.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

They only have them when it rains. But they are there.
aha! the damp! I remember when we lived there, the rain was always cause for great celebration. Happened once or twice a year.

You have a garage?
No, but my parents do. And yesterday I woke up when two 70 pound labradors bounced on the bed and tried to taste my face. Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My default assumption is that if you can ski in Africa, the unlikeliest things happen. Also, never discard the efficacy of mad money.

I didn't think I'd missed the presence of a garage at your place.
E-mail still not written. People on the internet still stupid.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Judicious emoticons I can handle. Chatspeak I never forgive, and I've gotten way too much of that.
This is my feeling on the matter.
Why do they call the chocolate truffles "truffles" anyway? Wasn't that name already taken?
Why won't my spa allow me to schedule a bikini wax and a leg wax on the same day or within a few days of each other online? I'm going to have to call and see what's up. What is the use of an online appointment scheduler if you can't make the appointments you need without calling the place?
Some of these questions may be rhetorical.

Art Crawl!!!
Because they look like truffles but they're made out of chocolate. Like chocolate coins look like coins but they're made out of chocolate.
Or chocolate bunnies - look like bunnies but are made out of chocolate.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And on the rare occasion, chocolate penises because they look like penises, but are in fact, made of chocolate.

Or chocolate cakes! They look like cakes but they're...
No. Not like that.
