Choklatz Is Us

It's Christmastime, you know.

I've blogged in the past about the customers at TheCompanyIWorkFor, and how they love them some free stuff. We've often said they'd take a turd from our office if it was free. We kind of proved this a few years ago (reason for the aforementioned blog) when we filled our free candy dish with old Halloween candy and sugar free cough drops and it emptied in short order.

For about a month we've had chocolate in the free candy dish. It started with the Hershey Collection, bite-sized Hershey Bars, Mr Goodbar, and Krackel. That disappeared quickly and was replaced with the, what, Mars collection? Milky Way, Snickers, Twix, and 3 Muskateers. It's currently going down like the Titanic.

As we were walking out at the end of the day, The Boss was complaining about the disappearance of chocolate. "That second bunch I just put out this morning, and it's already half gone. And there weren't that many people in here today!" I suggested one lone soul put half the bowl into a purse, which is entirely possible. I know this because it's happened.

Anyway, I suggested, there going out the door, that we need to order chocolate in bulk from some warehouse somewhere. I said, "You know, Choklatz Is Us - Slightly Damaged Chocolate 50% Off."

"Oooh, good idea," The Boss said. "They'd have Nilky Way bars."

"Yeah! And Mr Goodbat," I continued. "And 2 Muskateers."

"And Sneakers bars. And Hushey Bars."

At least we left the office laughing.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* Acrowinners, we have acrowinners! So, who in the hell is that man in the picture?
- Honorable Mention goes to Kellie (with an ie), with her "Snuffy T, Bluegrass Rapper." I can see it - wonder if that's his album cover?
- Runner-Up goes to LilyG, with her "Saw the babies, rented." Made me laugh. Good one, LilyG.
- And this week's winner goes to Mike, with his - well, I can't not say this, any one of his could have won the competition, they all made me laugh so much. I have a feeling most people liked "Sam the butcher's rabbi" the best, but I think I'm making "Scarf theif, boy retailer" the winner. Mainly because whoever that is looks like he could be both.
- Thanks to all who played, you've all done very well!
- If I ever find out who it is, I'll be sure to tell you.
