<tests trebuchet with ten pound chocolate Easter egg>

<awaits descent with interest and small spoon.>

<admires large pile of trebuchet chocolate eggs>

<wonders if anyone will notice if one goes missing>

<nudges geg and points at eggs, grins>

<hopes BK retracts claws before delving into eggs>

<waits for dust to settle before snagging a few chunks of chocolate>

<decides trebuchets aren't all that bad, after all>

<mmmmmmm> <wonders if groaning in chocolate pleasure will get me in trouble>

returns with bottles of 'Sable' a port which contains chocolate.

This allows port & chocolate devotees to consume both through straw while posting on fforums.

Adds extra chocolate in form of Haigh's(TM)** chocolate bilbys, just to show BK that further west there is still salvation for chocolate marsupials.

Gets small pointy sticks and pokes them into cheese, ham and pineapple, black olives, nougat, fudge, and other soft comestibles.

Tried pointy stick and peanut but failed. Will try honied sticks and peanuts next equinox.

Amasses huge quantity of aforementiond items and sneaks into treehouse

marks all items with s for samples.

checks personal damage insurance for coverage by stampeding treehouse occupants and Speckles.

removes covers and ducks behind solar powered pie makes.



** Haighs produces chocolate bilbys instead of easter bunnies at that time of the year. Available in milk or dark. Very smooth chocolate and if visiting Adelaide worth sampling. Their main shop is at the top of Rundle Mall on the left just before the entrance to the Adelaide Bookshop which sells old and not so old books. Again, well worth the visit.


Sad late note: Adelaide bookshop is gone. Haigh's are still there and do a lovely line of mint nougat covered in dark and milk choclate.

<prepares a small packed lunch for trip west- clearly a more concerted effort is required for the extinction>.

<arranges cushions on chair, pulls table next to chair>

<gathers pointy sticks and attached comestibles, settles in for a meal>

<decides to share hot chocolate, so sets out mugs and brings dispenser into view on table>

<waves at the stampede, applauds the show>

Rewrites Section 92 of Australian Constitution to make carrying pointy sticks for the eradication of chocolate marsupials illegal and penalty is to go north and eradicate chocolate cane toads and other Queensland politicians.

Sits back and eats last PollyWaffle in existence thus preventing BK from amassing any more bad karma.

<Ponders.>

<Accepts lovely mug of hot chocolate from VM but can't help but notice "Only to be used in pic nic thread" clearly stamped on the bottom of each one.>
<Wonders what to do with this unwanted knowledge and subsequent drop in regard for VM.>
