[TechBear_Seattle]

I read it on the Internet, so it must be true! Now if you will excuse me, it is time for my hourly immunization.

1. Hourly?!

How do you go that long between doses?

8. I can only fit so many chocolate choco-chip muffins in my stomach at once

Sure, I'm a bear, but even I have my limits.

2. I better load up

It'll be tough, but I can do it.

4. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is the best news I've heard in months!!!

I am going to Whole Foods tonight and loading up on my favorite organic dark.

Because of my new "Depression Budget" I haven't had any in months. I've been looking for a good excuse.

Some days, you just gotta laugh. And if there is chocolate involved, the laughter is that much sweeter. :hi:

5. Fortify yourself with stout liquids, like Guinness Stout, Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout,

Cooper Extra Stout, and Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout.

Hopefully next you'll tell me red wine will also fight it! I wouldn't mind starting up on that daily, either! :)

21. It's going to attack you while you sleep

You do realise that bed bugs, dust mites and the tooth fairy are all known carriers, don't you?

Unless you're hyper-vigilant, and wake every hour to scoff a bit more choccy.
