#1
Chocolate in my arteries,
chocolate in my runny nose,
chocolate in my arse,
and chocolate in my panty hose.

Mints. Licorice. Jelly Beans.
No no no no no.
It's chocolate, chocolate, chocolate,
that makes me go go go!

Here's a cached Daily Nail article from exactly ten years ago. Read it and laugh.

#2 The science isn’t settled, Dron. That’s where the claim that the really high percentage of everything a doctor knows is outdated/untrue comes from — and what everyone else knows, too.

Carrying on from the end of yesterday? ;-)

#4 Cocao is pre-processed cocoa. It has more fiber and vitamins than cocoa/chocolate. Therefore it is even better for you than all the good stuff in chocolate and keeps your skin younger and hair darker.

You know me. Between the jab, Zenobia and the nitrous, I don't know which is more responsible. 🙃

#6 Actually I've been eating lots of candy myself. Wine Gums, After Eights, Toblerone, Haribo... Wife knows I'm a candy crusher so she brought me a half fridge full. Both my upper canines're being replaced just because of sweets.

#7 Both my upper canines're being replaced just because of sweets.

That, and biting people I suspect.

#9 The ten-year old article is ... outdated. From the current posted article -

But increasingly studies show the dark variety has a myriad of health benefits.

New studies, new science. Interesting lesson in science that is not 'settled'.

#10 On the other hand, a lesson in 'new journalism': The first graphic has the same bullets for libido benefits and 'but the downsides'. Oops.

Preview should be their friend, too.

#11 Notice to all gringos.
Chocolate and the skin of organic tangerine (rich on resveratrol and Pterostilbene) almost 80 years old and in better shape than a 35 years old gringo

Chocolate, mi chocolate,
en tableta, nueces o con fresas,
siempre me ayuda aumentar las defensas,
¡inspira al amor!
Si tienes chocolate nada puede ser mejor.

#12 ^ I say, very good senhor!

But el chocolate con fresas es para maricas.
Just like Harleys, leather and sweet paprikas.

#14 El Gordo y el Flaco

"Mi gringo," sez JOE, "is a jerk
Who refuses to do any work!
Though he's thirty-five years
And I keep him in beers,
He's so lazy he won't even twerk!"

#15 Okay, after coffee and literal bowl of cherries (ain't that just like a gringo?), I'm baaack... [flexes maxim gun]

"Jose has superior feet!"
"Y so many!"
"He doesn't eat meat,
Except certain mariscos."
"I take them to discos
And treat them like this..."
[beat beat beat]

Makes them very tough."

#17 Got a sudden craving for some BBQ.

Kansas City some time ago was ranked in some tip tier level of 'overweight' which they replied, unofficially, "Come find out why".

The biggies were referring to the wonderful eats in the area, including the KC Style BBQ joints. The others, they bend iron.

KC is the other side of the world, and I am a heretic. KC Style is too sweet for me. Not saying I don't like it...saying of all the BBQ styles..except the burnt ends. Nobody does burnt ends like KC Style.
