For The Love Of Chocolate
I was walking the streets of NY a little more than a month ago with two childhood friends, AD and AA. Both of them very lovable characters. But AA, who is lovable, and a character. I have known these guys since 1st grade and AA has always been the entertainer. And he continues to do so.
As we were walking down Broadway, AA the chocolate Lover got hit by the urge to indulge in.... chocolate (no points for guessing that one). And despite strong protests from AD and myself, dragged us into Max Brennar.
AA: What are you guys having? (rubbing hands with glee)
Me: A fruit juice.
AD: Coffee.
AA: What? You have to have chocolate. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Will you guys share a Chocolate mess with me?
AD & I: NOPE!
AA: I wonder if I can finish this by myself?
Me: Of course you can.
AA: I am not talking about the individual serving, I am talking about the whole thing.....
Me: Meant for 4-6 people?
AA: I have done it once before...
Me: You have?
AA: Yeah, my first date in the city. Dinner followed by Brennar!
Me: You were on a date and you had a chocolate mess meant for 4-6 people by yourself? Let me guess, you never heard back from her, right?
AA: Come to think of it.... yeah! How did you guess?
Me: I have one small advice for you. Its called 'Arranged Marriage'.
AA: OK, after I order my Chocolate Mess.

Is it just me? The incident and the tag made no sense to me...I am missing the catch, if there is one!
This has to top the vaguest post of all times on my list!
Public demands money back!
@Menagerie: they are two separate events combined in one post. It helps confuse people! =D
From your comment, I see that the post has done what is was supposed to. Its a success! No money back! :P
Nothing nice happened on my birthday!! :(( Except me ofcourse.. :D
Ooooh, Max Brennar chocolate is so yummy! Slurp slurp!
i have no clue what max brennar chocolate is but i know what chocolate is and it's yum yum yum in the tum!!! i think ur friend and i are long lost twins....i can down any size of chocolately chocolate cake within mins and most women look at me as if i'm a sinning nun! oh what the hell....i never regret those indulgences...even when i stop fitting into my jeans...
Firstly, its quite amazing to still know AND hang out with friends you know since 1st grade! I dont have that privelege since I moved schools and hence lost touch with old friends eventually...
Haha, arranged marriage! :)

@Di: Oh the misconception :P
@Anjali*: Yeah, I bet it is... but chocolate soup? Nahhh!
@Zee: Worry not my dear. You get to buy new jeans!! =P
@Searching: I have friends I have known since I was 2 years old (I still think they stole my diapers, but I have no proof) and these friendships just last foreva!
(You should try Google Reader if u dont already)

either that or you need to explain what this post was all about....
Given the sort of protests you're getting regarding the new post... is the invite for me to guest blog still on??? :D
#renie: Thank you.
#aditya: Yeah, I think I need a sabbatical man. Rehab perhaps.
#Dewdrop: Ha! Ha! You want to shield me from the bricks thrown by taking them on you? How sweet.
