Hot chocolate is proof there is a benevolent supreme being...
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 11:29 PM by VelmaD
and that it loves us. :)

The marshmallows slowly melting into warm, rich, milky chocolate...one of life's few perfections.

3. One of my favorite Mom-isms...
when it's really cold outside my mom will say, "I'm gonna go make a pot of hot chocolate to warm my feet in". Heeeeeeeeeeeee.

4. Actually...
I'm pretty much completely a-religious and I don't believe in trying to give a human face to the numinous and I don't pretend to begin to understand the great forces that drive our universe...but hot chocolate is pretty damn good. :)

17. Surely hot chocolate is great.
We can agree to disagree theologically, but hot chocolate is heavenly.

8. How do you get the jumbo ones...
to fit in the mug? I think my mug would fit about 2.

12. I was a weird child. Hot (and cold) chocolate was also entertainment
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 11:58 PM by qnr
to me. I always used to gently put big heaping mounds of chocolate on top of the milk, and let it slowly disappear, pretending it was "Atlantis sinking beneath the waves." Then I'd finally stir and drink... apparently not caring about the fact that I was ingesting tens of thousands of water(milk)-borne Atlaneans.

Edit: s/injesting/ingesting/

Seriously, you sound like my 6 year old nephew. He likes to play Frogapult...only instead of hitting the little landing pad he likes to intentionally feed the frogs to the alligators. *snort*

You sexy thing got me hypnotised

Just another day later my mind was blown
You sexy thing come into my life
Forever and a day it feels so right

Been a long time coming only just begun
Doing all the things that makes my heart sing
Keep doing what you're doing you sexy thing

How did ya' know I needed you so badly
How did ya' know I gave my heart gladly
Yesterday I was one of a lonely people
Now you're lying next to me
Making love to me

I believe in miracles
Where you from
You sexy thing
You sexy thing
I believe in miracles
Since you came along
You sexy thing

Kiss me baby
