Rodger Pettichord Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hi all. It is often said that variety is the spice of life. With that in mind, we have asked Gumbypickett, our favorite Tasmanian, to be our guest theme presenter this week. After long and arduous labor, he came up with a fine topic. With that, we offer... THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC (courtesy of Gumbypickett): Forrest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates. What kinds of chocolate would best describe your life? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Well, Gumby, taking you literally but answering metaphorically, I think my box looks like this... 30% dark bittersweet chocolate. 30% chocolate-covered mixed-nut clusters. 20% chocolate-covered vanilla-creme drops. 10% Grandma's chocolate fudge. 10% chocolate-flavored laxatives. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Q Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I like "Dark Chocolate," sometimes described as "bittersweet.". I guess that describes life in a nutshell. But all in all, I would say that in spite of some bitterness, which can't be avoided, I've been largely blessed with the sweet. Ironically (I guess) I don't like sweet chocolate at all. So called "Milk Chocolate" is an abomination to my taste. Ken 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 My life has been full of some major ups and downs, challenges, life altering events and many learning experiences. I would say Rocky Road, as it has been bumpy much of the time, but always ends up tasting good, but then that is ice cream, not chocolates (mmmm, ice cream...yummy!). So, I will go with a box of mixed chocolates with an assortment of nuts in them. That's about as close as I can get 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this sounds awfully negative but sadly it's true. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
