h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Having been honoured with membership of the Church despite my being a non-practicing chocolate worshipper, I am offering this small meeting place (in the back room of the church hall) for those of us who, through unchecked choc-addiction and thickening waists, have to ration our chocolate intake to the more restrained brownie options :

for instance -

(all low-fat brownie recipes welcome)

Mutual support and shoulders to cry on available at all times.

(And I also do a mean line in animal keeping).

Good idea Frizzychick, you should post this link to the main conversation.

I need a shoulder to cry on...all of Monsy's full fat, artery clogging extremeley bad for your health brownies have run out and I have been forced into here to find a replacement and I can find only lame low fat options...what am I to do???? I don't want to be skinny(er) than I already am...

They might be low in fat but they are packed with chocolate and sugar and therefore still packed with calories. They won't clog your arteries as efficiently, but I'm sure we can put in a rush order of fat-free prune-based chockie brownies and you can have the lot.

Don't despair, I think the rest of the brownies got taken to the spooky party - try http://www.h2g2.com/U54913 - there were loads knocking around there - absolutely everyone was eating brownies of the delicious and squidgy full-fat kind.

May you find your chocolate desserts.

Yes, despite my love of the brownie (and other fudgie type confectionary), it also loves me a little too much, which brings me here.

Hi everyone, my name is Wowbagger and I've been a chocholic for 30 years.....

Been there, eaten that LOL...That thread is getting too big now...takes an age to load in, especially on this cheap pile of cack I have at work... So this is the CotTB site for the health concious I gather...you'll be starting an aerobics forum next

Hi Wowbagger!

Don;t get to carried away there - the reduction of fat from brownies is about as much of a sacrifice I can make.

Taking exercise... good grief, what a preposterous idea. Anybody would think that sitting, bum glued to seat staring at a screen all day was unhealthy.

LOL

Not at all bad for you, I've been doing it for 15 years and I'm a nice slim and trim 380 pounds

And all of three feet six inches.

LOL I aint that fat really...

Hey.. We excersise the brain in here. True, much of the time it's an excersise in silliness, but I ask you... Just how 'dignified' can one look doing jumping jacks?

With some of the things that go on in h2g2 I didn't think dignity was high on anyones list of priorities anyway

Fine point, well made. Mental (and spiritual - we are still part of the church despite splinter group status) exertion is far better for you than all that silly physical exercise nonsense.

I mean, the general high-brow levels of conversations here are enough to stimulate the most demanding of intellects.

And, I mean, when was the last time you saw.. er.. Jeremy Paxman or .. AA Gill .. in a tracksuit.

Eeeermm, I think it was a week last Tuesday...

Laughing - another form of exercise encouraged by this otherwise sedentary activity - thank you Shorty for that little work-out.

Details, please..

It was Jeremy Paxman been chased across the Yorkshire moors by the Leeds University amatuer boxing team after he didn't award them there bonus for 20 on University challenge.

You noticed that Shorty only said that he was not that fat? Them he *Is* Three feet Six inches.

Yes, but nobody has yet specified in what dimension Shorty is 3foot6 - it could be his circumference...

Shorty, defend yourself...
