I'm here, too. I passed out for three hours when I got home, so now I'm awake. Feh. I'm going to try to go to bed in a few minutes again.
Omnis, I'm so sorry you're up late again. Maybe try some warm milk?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hmm, wouldn't bacon as an ingredient lower the price of chocolate? I mean even if it is delicious, it is still costs less per pound than the chocolate.
Well, you're paying for the intellectual capital of combining the two. At least until the idea gets copied by IHOP.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And the process of combining has an overhead. It's a pricy business, imagination.

So, chocolate covered catfish requires even more imagination. So that would be even more expensive. You know I wonder if there isn't a point where chocolate stops going with everything, and people say "skip the other ingredients. Just give me the chocolate".

That Alice Waters is right. People in today's fast-paced society have lost the art of combining their own chocolate and bacon.

I think there's a point when the process rolls over on itself and starts eating its own profit. Unless it's catfish and bacon. Which sounds kinda tasty.

That's when the bottom falls out of the chocolate-covered market, engulfing the economy in the chewy caramel centre of recession.

Possibly the point at which you neglect to kill the catfish first.
