The TAM2 chocolate challenge

[Girl 6]

That may be so. However, I prefer not to watch dripping chocolate being licked of The Bad As(s)tronomer...

(This, incidentally, indicates the big 6K post for me. Wheee!... )

Um, I volunteer!

I'm not buying that description of you, Scott!

Wait a minute... Is someone going to have a digital camera on the premises? This may get ugly...

Drat, I've been found out!

I'll have my camera at TAM2 and will take photos of all the chocolate-smeared faces. Some, after proper editing, will surely make their way to the web.

Wait, did I not take up the British chocolate mantle?

No worries, more chocolate for me

 

[SkepticScott]

I'm sorry Budddyh, I thought you were just extolling the virtues of British chocolate, not bringing any. You may want to coordinate with Peter Jenkins to avoid duplicating your efforts.

[The Bad Astronomer]

Now I'm confused. Am I licking chocolate off someone, getting it licked off me, or watching someone (possibly me) getting chocolate licked off them?

If this thread ever gets to the National Academy of Sciences, then I will claim my IP and login was spoofed.

You are quite welcome to lick the chocolate off your own lips and fingers.

uh-huh...

Well, I thought it was all about tasting the chocolate and declaring the winner.

[Ladewig]

At the risk of being used as just another straight line

With nine judges, how much stuff should each competitor bring?


---------------------
What will the judges use to cleanse their palates between tastings?

 

[CFLarsen]

With nine judges, how much stuff should each competitor bring?

I'm bringing 150 grams of each of the 4 chocolates.

Not enough to gorge upon, but plenty anyway: It is all flavor...

 

[Girl 6]

Well, with 9 judges, there should at least be nine squares each of the various chocolates being judged.

For me, I only need one bite of anything to judge whether it is worthy of another bite. And, you can take that ANY way you want to...

[exarch]

Hmm, how much could I legally import without it being smuggling?

 

[SkepticScott]

Bump to get it above the 'moved' threads.

Info on bringing food into the U.S.A. can be found at http://help.customs.gov/cgi-bin/cus...WRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NDk3JnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li= .

Two sentences to note: "Bakery items, candy and all cured cheese are generally admissible." and "Failure to declare all food products can result in civil penalties." So it's OK to being the chocolate but be sure to declare it!

We'll spring you from jail, exarch!

[Wyvern]

We'll spring you from jail, exarch!

G6

Keep you wits about you, exarch. Don't tell anybody where you hid the chocolate until you've actually been sprung.

 

[Lisa]

To whoever is bringing the Milka...I'll post your bail.

 

[kittynh]

so Lisa! You coming????

 

[Chaos]

To whoever is bringing the Milka...I'll post your bail.

That would be me, then...

Looking forward to it

 

[Lisa]

so Lisa! You coming????

Not even breathing hard at this point.
Yes, I'll be attending TAM II though.
Our lovely lady Wyvern said she'd room with me. By the time we knew Ed was getting a contract, the rooms were gone. Since Wyvern said she'd room with me, I'll be able to attend.
Orginally, I'd wanted to hear all the guest speakers. Do you know Bob Park is the only person I've ever written a fan letter to? However, since this whole chocolate contest thing came up, I'm re-examining my priorities.
