Pickles by Brian Crane for June 08, 2019

Opal probably needs a chocolate substitute. Perhaps caramel or taffy?

She’s wrong about that. Both she and others would suffer for that. Do NOT try to get between me and my chocolate or coffee.

“I don’t have a problem. ANYONE between me and my fix has a problem, but I don’t have a problem.”

I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a chocoholic. Sometimes. a person just NEEDS chocolate.

I substitute ‘coffee’.

If an alcoholic is someone who’s addicted to alcohol, then a chocoholic should be someone who’s addicted to ‘chocohol’.

What “Proof” is that chocolate ?

Last Lent I knew a woman who gave up chocolate, and a guy who gave up beer. Not me, I didn’t give up anything.

Earl: Sweet for my sweets!

Opal…denial is not just a river in Egypt!

Chocolate is good for you, solid dark chocolate, no milk chocolate, no sugar fillings.

Same for coffee

“Don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” Bill Bixby as Dr. David Bruce Banner, The Incredible Hulk TV series (1977-1982).

There are a lot of things I could do without. Chocolate is not one of them.

Methinks everyone suffers regardless…chocolate or no chocolate….LMAO

I am of two minds when it comes to chocolate. First mind, i wish chocolate did not cost so much. Second mind, i am glad chocolate cost as much as it does. If i did not i would probably weigh over 300 pounds.

They all suffer now anyway….so what’s your excuse!

Given a choice between eating chocolate and having sex, at my age, I’d have to confess that I’d eat the chocolate…first!

So am I but I don’t waste it on cheap milk chocolate.

The active ingredient in chocolate is “Theobromine” which translates roughly as “Drink of the gods”. It’s as potent as caffeine (which is chemically very similar), but has a mellower result (imo).
