Too Much Chocolate can be Bad for You.

You never know what you're going to get when you open a box of chocolates.

It's time for some hot chocolate, and here, from cupcakes and cashmere is a perfect example. Two of these would be useful; one to wake you up, and another one to put you back to sleep. Moderation in all things!

And here, on Chocolate Chipped, are a selection of pictures and recipes for chocolate breakfasts, including chocolate cake batter waffles, chocolate berry muffins, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate eclairs, and dark chocolate chip rasberry pancakes among others.

Good grief!

Speaking of demolition, here's a magnificent Volvo Track Excavator with DAEMO 1200 Shear for only $155,824! There are lots of pictures of it on the site, along with detailed specs. It's located in St. Rose, Louisiana, but shipping can be arranged.


In case these images don't show up properly, here, from Metal + Waste, is a magnificent machine, hard at work cleaning up a demolition site. Metal + Waste specializes in clearing out this sort of mess.

The movie Terminator got it all wrong; machines are our friends. It's the fanatics who want to do us in, not the machines. Imagine a world without beautiful steam engines or--wait a minute--what happened to the steam engines anyway? Who took them away? Was it a conspiracy by fanatics?

No worries.

Anger Management for Monsters

Many people are angry these days, possibly because they don't have enough chocolate, or they have too much coffee and not enough money and time.

The wolves aren't very happy either--Little Red Riding Hood has had a free ride for generations now, but there is another side to the story. What exactly was in that basket she was carrying? And was she a little girl, or a dwarf? Or perhaps an alien crop circle in disguise?

As for her so-called granny--Ha! Alien spymasters often disguise themselves as human grandmothers so they can meet their dwarf agents right under the eyes of the authorities and give them instructions. No one is safe!

Here from WikiHow are pictures of healthy breakfasts, along with recipes, and there's not a trace of chocolate in any of them.

And here, from www.food.sify.com is a picture of a breakfast with chocolate.

You choose.

Here is a picture of a snow plow that would do a nice job of clearing your driveway and demolishing your house this winter. Locomotive not included. Some restrictions apply. Product may not match picture on box. Not available in stores.

All aboard!

This Car is Invulnerable!

Many cars have built-in safety features these days, however, if you want protection against UFO's, you have to order it as a special, optional extra feature. It's bundled with a coffee-cup holder.

It's breakfast time! I was thinking about rutabagas when I came across this image of someone enjoying an enormous chocolate breakfast.

Oh well. if you prefer less decadence in your food, here's a Halloween recipe for Cheerios and chocolate Halloween tarts from familyfreshcooking.com

I'm not thinking about rutabagas anymore.

Remember not to eat too much chocolate; it doesn't grow on trees, you know! Actually, it does.... We are what we eat.

The Christmas trees are up in certain department stores, just in time for Halloween. Merry Boo to all of you, and to all a good night!

The Auld Priests Hang From Branches, Like Sloths

You can blame all sorts of things on priests of the auld religion, because they're not around anymore--or so we think. There are rumors some of them might have formed a goth metal choir so they can send out secret messages coded in the lyrics. For instance, the popular lyrics, 'I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want ME!' might actually refer to the ritual sacrifice of a prune. We just don't know.

I came across this while exploring the Internet, looking for others like myself who think breakfast is wasted on cereals.

Actually, I eat porridge for breakfast, although not haggis. But an occasional excursion into the dark side to join the chocolate eaters seems like a good idea to me.

Anyway, you'll find some chocolate-for-breakfast recipes on this site, including a recipe for chocolate tacos.

I invaded the Dollar store yesterday, where Halloween trinkets are already on the shelves. I purchased a foot-long, plastic model of a crow for $2. It's a beautiful thing, with nicely etched feathers, good detail on the beak and legs, and an overall appearance of cunning and sharpness.

It really looks good in the living room, but my wife made me take it into my office.

Ah well.
Caw, caw, caw!
