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

My cousin from London gave me a giant bag full of British candy and something call a "Curly-cue" or some such name pull a crown right off my tooth!

Hey. Good to see your posts DFly!

Hope you are having lot o' fun at CSU.

That sounds very much like Curly-Wurly, a kind of toffee for kids.
When it comes to sweets (candy) in the UK, read that as sugar
and more sugar.
I once saw a well known brand of mint cake being made,
the famous Kend*l Mint Cake so beloved of climbers.
A huge amount of sugar was put in a vat then just enough water
added to make it liquid followed by peppermint essence.
It was poured into trays and allowed to set.
It made my teeth ache just watching it.

"Of course, in a couple months, I'll probably be missing Hawaii."
[Dragonfly]

I know people steal strange things, but running off with Hawaii is going to far!

Hawaii is missing?
That means there's a hole where it used to be.

I thought the tide was a long time coming in.

Nebraska has been missing for ten years, and hardly anyone has even noticed. Why would Hawaii be a big loss?

Nebraska? I'm sure that was in a song once.
All I can remember of the song is
"What did Delaware boy..etc
She wore a brand New Jersey...etc."
I wish I hadn't remembered that.

That makes two of us

Luckily for me I have a very short attention span
so I forget things very quic...
what was the subject again?

The subject? Dragonfly missed London, either because someone swiped it, or because her aim was bad.

The Chinese have probably bought it
(unless the Indians got in first)
with a view to duplication.
The world market will soon be flooded
with cheap Londons with Made in China
underneath.

I have friends who have gone shopping there. London is anything but cheap!

This is very true and London is acknowledged as being
one of the dearest city in the world, if not the dearest.

hee hee. Yeah. You guys is funny. And yes, Izze is a fizzy drink. Made in Boulder, Colorado, so I guess it's not so easy to come by outside of my usual beaten path.

Beaten paths are scarredy-cats.

in many ways, this be true!

Ny usual beaten path is never very far from coffee and/or chocolate.

Ohmygoodness. Chocolate is great. I think I have chocolate every day!

I visit a cafe that makes great mocha.
The comfort ofand the pep-u-up of .
What's not to like.

I think dragonflies are supposed to have chocolate every day.

Life is short, so have dessert first.

I have a bag of mini chocolate chips that I have snacked on for the last two or three weeks.

Per Pauly's orders.

Sounds like you are both doing well ... yeah?
