Only works on 4.0 boxes that have all the post-SP3 patches (as of Aug97)

Quick! Someone get this man a Jolt!
(Does anyone else drink Jolt with Hershey's syrup, or is that my own

Can someone come kick the Erol's people into tithing?
Either that, or I can beat them with my cast. :)

Fresh Fields sells chocolate, good chocolate -- Callebut, Valrhona,
El Ray -- in bulk. Big bricks of chocolate, priced by weight with
one-off barcode stickers just like they do for meat.
I had known, but until recently not fully comprehended, that these are
made by breaking a huge bar into smaller pieces.
So eventually I realized that the enormous box marked "VALRHONA 10 KG"
was not just decorative, it was a real product that existed and is for
actual sale. One huge bar.
One person should not be allowed to own that much chocolate. It could
be dangerous.

Ditto Melbourne, or at least none that a) read here, and b) have got the hint

chocolate[0] from our local market to the people at work...
K.
[0] The packaging says "Groder Fondente: surrogato di cioccolato fondente
dolcificato con maltitolo". The ingredients list (English version) says
"cocoa paste, maltitol, cocoa butter, emulsifier, lecithin, vanillin.
Cocoa: 55% minimum" Yes, that's right: no milk, no sugar. This suits me, more
or less, though sugar does have its appeal sometimes...

There's something seriously wrong with this region too. I'm the one
bringing CCCB's to the BOFHs.
OTOH, they did give me an axe. I think I may be able to solve this
problem.

Well, maltitol is some kind of sweetener...so the chocolate is
artificially sweetened. Hmm...

Considering that that was the fist real encounter I had with CCCBs,
it's not that strange that i didn't bring any. Next time, Michel
Cluizel might pop your way...

I *told* you, and if you'd ANSWER YOUR MAIL ALREADY, I'd know you KNEW:
the British High Commission has the papers, they're in order, and they're
swell with giving me a passport, I'll have it in three-four weeks, I have
to see Discord and Liana and Dan and Vlad and Cy again, then I have to
go to be with my family for a week or two, so mid-May.

One of my (many and varied) perversions is a liking for Coke with red cordial.
Since I believe that other parts of the world don't have red cordial like
ours, allow me to explain:
Take a large pile of sugar. Add colour 122 (the one that makes small children
bounce off walls) and a suitable amount of fake raspberry flavour and
preservative. Add enough water that there are no longer any lumps. Bottle.
It's meant to be served diluated about 8:1, but that's for wimps. I dilute
about 3:1 if I'm mixing with water, or 4 or 5:1 if I'm mixing with coke.
