7274 - cool-down

[scottobear]

Ok, I'm back and calmed again.

Here's what it took. I steam-walked about a mile up to the local drugstore and that pretty much burned off the excess adreno-fuel bubbling in my system. Once I got there, I picked up some shampoo and deodorant.. walked around and saw a lovely giant bucket-hat. (not unlike the one square bear wears (see icon). Mine isn't as rockin' as his, being just khaki-colored, but it keeps the head shaded and free of sunburn. Maybe I'll meet a foxy redhead in bunny slippers again.

Something that delighted me was a packet of caramel chocolate eggs (HUEVO DE CARAMELO!) "made with real goat's milk!" There were stacks and stacks of them... 75% off. In a week, they'll be 90% off, and I won't be able to resist getting one for less than a dime. 6¢ to be exact. How often do you see a cent sign these days? Especially with just one digit in front?

Goats and chocolate, together at last! just in time for after-easter discount candy sales!

Nay, I did not buy one, dear journal... my delight in the existence of such a thing was enough for me. Leche De Cabra! Also, the name "Pangburn's" makes me laugh, too.

How would I work that into a Chupacabra story? chupalechedecabra? goat-milk-sucker?

Anyhow, I'm feeling much better. Good thing, too. Dan'll be here in about a half hour, maybe sooner in weekday traffic.

You can get in my way again.

Glad you've worked off some steam.
Apparently one of the chocolate companies- possibly Russel Stover?- started marketing caramel-filled chocolate crosses for Easter. They bought out the rights to the design from a South American candy maker. I guess people started raising a fuss about the implications of a religious symbol in the form of a delicious chocolately treat, but execs pointed out that at least they weren't marketing the caramel-filled Jesus, which was actually one of the parent company's biggest sellers. I believe they also used goats-milk caramel.
As my roommate said when I told her about it: "I'm all about eating Chocolate Jesus."

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm going to hell for even thinknig this, but I would have to stab jesus in his side with one of those cocktail-swords, to see the caramel ooze out.

then I'd own the spear of destiny!!!

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, did you watch that awful TNT movie too?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Nope... but I was a big fan of any weapon that could stab jesus *and* superman.

Ahhh, excellent. My comic book knowledge is (sadly?) lacking :-)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

that's ok... you're a girl. ;)

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not that concerned. We make up for such things in other ways.
Besides, I like basketball, which I feel ought to count for something.
Let me know if you like Sin City? I think I want to go, even though it really looks like eye candy without much substance behind it.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking that you're right... that sin city will be all style, no substance.

But, I'm in the mood for entertainment... and there's dan, so I'm off!

Later, tater!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It was good if you're afan of the comics, otherwise, it was only interesting with bad dialogue.

[greenelvish.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha... I want a chocolate Jesus too! Although a chocolate Ganesh would be just as divine: http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=29&art_id=qw1031918581522B241&set_id=1

2 meters??? That's one heck of a chocolate elephant-headed god!

MmMMM... chocolate gods are heavenly!

I use to work for a company that sold a stress ball that had written on them "Jesus Loves You".

In the computer whenever we saw the shorthand description of this product it was inappropriately labeled as "Jesus Loves You Balls"...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That is the awesome.

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

Jesus Loves you Kick Balls

Couldn't find the stress release balls.

They must have discontinued the Cross Pinata. I sware I remember that one.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Seems like a weird gadget. "Jesus loves you, so remember that, as you squeeze the hell out of this ball."
Still. Hee. :-)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I had an awesome glow in the dark plastic crucifix that had "Jesus Saves" written crossword style on it.


It made me mad that I had to charge it up under a lightbulb before it would glow.

Using the animal who donated the food you are about to eat as a spokesperson for said food has always been the oddest fricken marketing ploy I think.

California Raisins comes to mind. M&M's at least somewhat acknowledge this...

Weird.

Those look good though. You have more willpower than me... Even if thay are a bit scary...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I remember going to piggly-wiggly.. the logo is a porky-pig style cartoon with a butchers apron and hat.

Man, that still makes me laugh nervously.

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

My nickname growing up was Dinky (shhh, don't tell anyone). I thought they named the store after me. I also thought they named the "twinkie" as such so that it would rhyme with my name...

My father and I use to eat at a restaurant dive called "The Ground Cow". Luckily there was no mascot.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I remember getting the memo about Twinkies. Actually, your nickname came afterward.

I think it was because they couldn't find a creamy, spongy word that rhymes with Bruce.

Great Icon

[intrepidite.livejournal.com]

I love the icon.

Chocolate and cameral is my favorite candy.

I am so glad you are better. The sun does funny things like that sometimes. It is a beautiful day out and that can do wonders. I also agree with my husband. Go and see a funny movie, even if it is just on the tv before you go out. A good funny movie can do wonders. Laughter is the best medicine there is out there, in my mind.

I would tell you a joke but well I suck at jokes. Just ask Bruce, he is the funny one. But maybe these pictures will make you laugh.

I am my mom did this to me help.



These are my rocks and no one elses.
