if you were me

[idgiehkt]

would you drive down to the 24 hour gas station just for a hershey bar?

Just askin...

[chknltl]

1. Not if it were within walking distance

Exercise, the environment, saving gas....

[idgiehkt]

2. good for the daytime, true

not this late at night :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Yes.

If fact, you have a great idea with that.... :think:

[idgiehkt]

5. I'll get one for you

where are you...it might be safe to mail them this time of year. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. Oh! Thank you!

I'm in Washington. Just make it out to Miss Rev Acts, it'll get to me sometime. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[unsavedtrash]

4. buy two and a slushie n/t

[idgiehkt]

10. ooh, slushie

man, I wish you hadn't said that. The only real slushies around here are at a candy store at the mall, and they are closed. :(

[The Traveler]

6. Nope

But if I were me I would ... be right back ...

:)

[idgiehkt]

12. get me one!

that works for me :)

[The Traveler]

19. Sending one to your trans-net materializer now ...

What? No materializer? Shit. I'll have to eat the damn thing myself. And all my friends are wondering why I am getting middle-age bulge. Heh. Now I can tell them. It is all YOUR fault, Idgiehkt.

:evilgrin:

(How was that for an exercise in diverting personal responsibility???)

[idgiehkt]

26. lol

I like it. :)

[The Traveler]

37. I'm practicing

my co-dependent arts. This is necessary to prepare for the forthcoming struggle in GD. Nothing personal. In fact, I kinda like ya ... but one thing puzzles me, almost to the point of apprehension ... what does it mean, "idgiehkt"?????

:)

[idgiehkt]

38. it's nothing

just the name of the character "idgie" in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, and the hkt stands for "hog killin' time" which was code for when they made barbecue out of Ruth's dead husband and fed him to that cop from Georgia. I thought that was clever. :)

[The Traveler]

42. Hog Killin' Time

Yeah. I like it. **adopts smooth southern drawl** Gonna kill me some hogs now and make me some BBQ.

:rofl:

That scene always cracked me up ... should have caught the reference.

[idgiehkt]

47. I can still see that detective eatin' that barbecue

and the lady going "secret's in the sauce, secret's in the sauce..."

Best durn barbecue he'd ever had. Cain't hide barbecue from the law, 'specially, when you done run afoul of it...

:rofl:

[The Traveler]

53. "The secret's in the sauce ..."

:rofl:

I wanna cook up some Cheney and feed it to a cop ...

(Bad Trav. Bad!)

[idgiehkt]

56. cook up some Cheney and feed it to W.

tell him it's squirrel. Or a bald guy. Or a poor person. He'll bite, I'm sure. :)

[The Traveler]

62. I like your mind

It is twisted.

:)

[swag]

7. If I were you, could I just throw a coat over my pajamas and slippers for the trip?

[idgiehkt]

13. yep

:hi:

[swag]

16. You should probably go.

[idgiehkt]

this is the second time

I've had deja vu after reading one of your posts. Or at least I think it's the second time...

Okay, I just broke something vital in my brain.

:rofl:

[qnr]

9. If I were you, yes ... if I were me, no -enjoy your ride & chocolate :) n/t

[idgiehkt]

17. I'm undecided

there have been a string of armed robberies in my area in the last week, 4 places have been hit, so I have to decide just how badly I want this stuff.

tough one...

:shrug:

[qnr]

Go to one that has been hit. Doesn't mean that it won't be hit again, but it's

more likely that it will be a different one, with such a short time range.

[idgiehkt]

28. what a great idea.

I never even looked at it that way. :shrug:

[wildhorses]

11. you ran out of chocolate??

No stash anywhere:scared:

[idgiehkt]

14. no

there is no keeping a 'stash' for me, the only safe chocolate is that which is not yet in my possession. :hi:

[wildhorses]

24. you must immediately drive to the store and get

a half dozen. eat one in the car on the way home and put the rest in the crisper of your fridge:hug:

[idgiehkt]

30. or

eat in the car on the way home and
eat the rest while reading the lounge.

more realistic, anyway.

then spend the rest of the evening on a sugar high and fall into a diabetic coma around sunrise.

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

36. sounds like a plan

except for the coma thing...:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Stop it! Stop it!

You're making me crave chocolate again!

[idgiehkt]

20. that's me waving

from my dream house

[GoddessOfGuinness]

80. Now you did it...

The only chocolate in this house right now is stuff left over from last Easter. I just popped a 10 month-old Hershey kiss in my mouth.

[S n o w b a l l]

18. Only if it's 70% dark chocolate....

That's good for you, ya know! :)

[idgiehkt]

22. mmm

I love special dark. And regular. And nestle crunch. Maybe I should mix it up. :)

[SPKrazy]

21. Get The Dark Chocolate

it's better and better for you

[idgiehkt]

32. what is this 'better for you' of which you speak?

never heard that part...makes it seem like an issue of nutrition, much easier to justify.

edit:
sorry for the poor grammar, just brushing up on my vernacular-ese...yeah, that's it.

[SPKrazy]

41. It Has Antioxidants In It

supposed to be better for you

of course i'm sure they are talking about small amounts

[idgiehkt]

44. so it will keep me young?

small amounts of antioxidants? Well, then guess I'll have to eat alot of chocolate to get enough then, right? ;)

[SPKrazy]

45. I Think It Will Keep You Young As Long As You Are Eating It

as soon as you finish it, the aging process resumes

[idgiehkt]

49. oh crap, I guess I better get going.

I just don't want to. i want the chocolate. But I don't want to waste the 20 minutes it will take to drive down there and buy it and come back. Seeing as how I'm just completely swamped with projects vital to the continued survival and well-being of mankind right now and all, you know.

[SPKrazy]

54. Might As Well Go For A Chocolate

it might add a few minutes to your life?

[Left Is Write]

23. No.

If I were making a chocolate run, I'd get the good stuff. Preferably very, very dark.

[idgiehkt]

31. another dark chocolate fan

:toast:

[ThomCat]

66. Or dark chocolate with orange!

:9

[idgiehkt]

69. oh man

those are the best, like in those Whitman's samplers...yummmmmmmm. :)

[Q3JR4]

25. Mmmmmm....chocolate....

[idgiehkt]

34. that is I

with more hair though.

holy shit, I just realized they sell perrier in small bottles, too, at that gas station. It's looking more and more probable.

[Q3JR4]

39. Like this?

:hi:


:P

[idgiehkt]

40. sort of

my hair is much longer and a lighter shade of brown, but that is the general idea, yes.

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

27. I dunno about a plain Hershey's bar...

but if it was a Caramello. Or a 3-Musketeers. Or a Symphony bar. Or....

Heh...I've been known to throw a robe over my nightgown and go in my slippers. Hell, I've gone without my slippers.


Shhhhhh...don't tell.

[idgiehkt]

33. Symphony...

that I should try, I saw those in the grocery store today and they were on sale. Next time...

[reyd reid reed]

48. Oh, they're gooooood...

I can't eat plain Hershey's bars any more.

*sigh*

[idgiehkt]

50. uh-oh

the song "New Sensation" by INXS just leapt into my head.

and will probably be there for the rest of the night, lol.

I guess tomorrow I'll pick one up at the grocery store.

[reyd reid reed]

60. Yup. You've gotta.

Grab one for me while you're at it.

:9

[Xipe Totec]

29. If I was you, I'd be a Goddess

instead of a God.

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

35. me too.

:hi:

[TheBaldyMan]

43. You'ld need a small truck for that bar.

5lbs - sheesh!

[idgiehkt]

51. I know

5 pounds of pure bliss though. MMMmmmm...

[ghostsofgiants]

46. Probably.

[idgiehkt]

52. a kindred spirit

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

57. I'm a five minute walk from a 24-hour store, they probably think I'm the biggest stoner ever.

I'm constantly there at like 1 or 2 AM buying iced tea and Oh Henry bars, haha.

[idgiehkt]

58. lol

what kind of iced tea?

that stuff that comes in the pretty bottles...can't remember the name

[ghostsofgiants]

71. Arizona Iced Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey

Nectar of the gods.

[idgiehkt]

73. that's exactly the bottle I pictured

when I read that. It's the prettiest one, I want to buy it just for the bottle.

do you think this song (Jump Around - House of Pain)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZZADbubu0Y

is a total rip off of this one? (Insane in the Membrane - Cypress hill)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_-OZ_UEl4

i just made that connection as I was responding to your post for some reason...

:shrug:

edit: I'm WRONG. I have it backwards according to wikipedia, House of Pain was first...wow, I majorly have my chronology screwed up. So the cool band ripped off the lame band. That sucks.

(the songs were a year apart)

[ghostsofgiants]

75. That's the reason I bought it the first time I tried it, actually.

I lucked out I guess, haha.

I can hear some similarities, yeah, but it's not overly blatant. Could just be coincidence? I dunno.

[idgiehkt]

76. if you just listen to the first half minute they are almost identical

I don't think it's coincidence. I mean, I think Cypress Hill probably thought they had something original when really they heard it when they were driving around after a few bong hits, lol.

[ghostsofgiants]

77. Haha, maybe.

I mean I definitely hear the similarities in the samples, but at the same time, it's not exactly Vanilla Ice ripping off Bowie and Queen.

[idgiehkt]

78. it's not?

:rofl:

[Strawman]

55. These are the best

https://www.chocolatebar.com/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=&idproduct=24

[idgiehkt]

61. wow

I lurve mint. Those look yummy. But I just remembered I have some Nestle Quik chocolate milkshake in the fridge.

:woohoo: I don't have to make a chocolate run. :)

[SPKrazy]

59. Just Go Get The Damned Thing

you could have had it by now!

get me one too!

[idgiehkt]

63. nope, I'm saved

I have Nestle Quick chocolate milkshake in the fridge. I saw it tonight at the grocery and it was on sale so I decided to try it. I tastes like it has some kind of alien, non-food, totally inorganic thickening agents in it, but it will quell the chocolate craving. Here, you can have a swig of it, just don't bogart it, lol...

[SPKrazy]

64. Mmmmmm

not bad

[ThomCat]

65. No.

That's not chocolate. Those things are only 10% chocolate. They're mostly milk and additives.

For goodness sake, If you're going to make a special trip at least get some real chocolate. :9

[idgiehkt]

67. I must admit, I am learning here tonight

Whoda thunk this thread would turn out to be educational?

The powers of the lounge are awesome!

[ThomCat]

68. We'll turn you into a lover of real chocolate.

:9

[idgiehkt]

70. yes, save me from my whitetrash ways

I need some learnin' and some culturatin'

[jgraz]

85. The ultimate snobby chocolate

And yes, the Barcelona Bar IS worth $7! OMFG, just incredible.

[Shell Beau]

72. Why does this have a ring of the movie Harold and Kumar's Trip to White Castle?

[idgiehkt]

74. I have heard great things about that movie

I really need to rent it. Thanks for reminding me. :hi:

[Shell Beau]

79. Watch it. It is freakin' hilarious!

[auntAgonist]

81. only if it were for Dark Chocolate...

and then you might as well pick up some pringles and some twizzlers, the black ones though, not the red.

:)

aA

[idgiehkt]

90. the first two, check

I'll get the twizzlers, you can have them all, though, I've never been into licorice. :)

[BarenakedLady]

82. I wouldn't because i'm not a huge chocolate craver...

Now if it was a trip to the all night liquor store and I was out of some.....:)

[idgiehkt]

89. I wish I wasn't

but it's a minor vice compared to some others so I'll live with it.

:hug: :loveya:

[amitten]

83. But of course. n/t

[idgiehkt]

92. great minds...

:)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

84. If I could drive, yes

I used to do that all the time while in university

[idgiehkt]

93. we used to walk

in the dark, the rain, the snow, the ice. Bong hits will bring about that motivation.

[krispos42]

86. If I were you...

I'd be a male mind in a female body. I'd be far to 'distracted' to leave the house, period! :-)

(That goes twice if you're cute) :-)

[idgiehkt]

87. lol

too funny. :)

[Guava Jelly]

91. Maybe for a Skor

[idgiehkt]

95. oh yum

those are the bomb!

how are you? Doing well I hope? :)

:hug: :loveya:

[Guava Jelly]

96. I am doing good

Working today at my shop.
I am almost done with my day
:hug:
I hope you are well.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

94. No, I'd walk the 20 feet to the conveniece store next to me.

:P

[idgiehkt]

99. you must live downtown or something?

I don't know if I'd wanna live that close to one, all the ones around here are getting robbed.

:hi:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

100. No, that's just how NYC is built.

Safe area, too.

:D

[idgiehkt]

101. LOL,

the downtown.

:rofl:

sorry, I didn't know you were in NYC

[Starbucks Anarchist]

102. It's great, too.

I'm, at most, 15 minutes from most things, either by walking or by train. :D

[idgiehkt]

105. sounds amazing

my hometown is like that. Can walk anywhere or everything is a ten minute drive at most. I miss it so much.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

106. Which town?

[idgiehkt]

107. Asheville NC

I don't live there any more though.

[scarlet_owl]

97. Hell yes I would!

I think you should go.

[idgiehkt]

98. I didn't go

instead I drank this really, really strange tasting Nesquik chocolate milkshake drink I bought at the grocery yesterday just because it was on sale. I'm not sure what was in it, but I'm pretty sure it was inorganic. Maybe chalk dust from chalkboard erasers or something. But synthetic chalk, made in a laboratory.

[JVS]

103. 5 lbs!

[idgiehkt]

104. just a fantasy, lol

I really like the ones with the little squares you eat one at a time. :hi:
