Nitty~Gritty

random thoughts about my life

I took my son to see a play based off of a book called Chocolate Fever.  The premise behind the book is that this kid eats too much chocolate and gets sick.  I love a play that does the parenting for me.  Anyway, before the show started they had a screen flashing chocolate trivia.  Basically, they took twelve candy bars, cut them in half so you could see the gooey centers and guess which type of candy bar they were.  For me, the novelty wore off quite quickly and left me hungry but for the fuckwit next to me, he was actually trying to impress everyone with his candy knowledge.  There’s one in every crowd only this one was sitting next to me.  He’d guess out loud and then look over at me as if to say, “See how manly I am!”  I glared at him but that seemed to just confirm his suspicions that he was the smartest man in the room because he got louder and more annoying.  The last one he got wrong.  “Damnit, I thought it was a Kit Kat!” he exclaimed.  A man proving himself over chocolate trivia is a sad, sad sight.

He was just trying to overcompensate for his lack of powertools. Are you teaching your son too much chocolate is bad?

How the hell did he get a Kit Kat wrong?

I have bad news for him - The master of candy knowledge isn't a man, and it's me.

i blame that new milky way commercial. don't know if you've seen it, but a guy unwraps the candy to find a pretty girl instead of a chocolate bar. the pretty girl showers him with compliments.

the motto is: "comfort in every bite"

i find it extremely interesting that this is a candy ad aimed at men.

as to the fuckwit, there's one in every group, but in a theater, one out of every five.
