one scone to rule them all

[ironymaiden]

J - and once we charge up the dilythium crystals, we can leave the cloaking device in place until we've beamed aboard W and Dick, who we will drop into a volcano. on film.

M - like the one ring, only better.
(if Sauron poured all his hate and malice and stuff into the Ring, why wasn't he all like "I am the dark lord and I say it is bunny-petting day!"?)

J - (i like to think that hate and malice is just like love. you never run out.)

M - (i've certainly never run out of hate and malice, but i have never tried to forge a ring of ultimate dark power.)

J - (nope, i think you can always make more. i think i've rooted it out, but then it wells up and fills in all the spaces around the love and the happy. then again, not a dark lord. but i think a dark lord would have more potent malice than me.)

M - (well, yes. i suppose if i were a dark lord, my malice would have to be more potent. it's just the word "all". if i put all my socks in the drawer, i have none on my feet.)

J - (but i would steal a pair of C's.)

M - (i do not like Jesse's socks. my socks are better.)

J - yes, but i would still have socked feet.

M - well, true. (i also secretly prefer unsocked feet, even if that means they are colder)

J - (me too. and that's why we're not dark lords.)

M - (i thought it was, like hobbits, we were readily distracted by scones)

J - (mmmmmmmmscones. now i want one.)

M - (see? if the One Ring had been quietly whispering "The scones of Mordor are warm and fluffy," in Bilbo's ear, the whole story would have gone differently)

you are silly people

What could be better than a scone baked in the fires of Mount Doom?

[buhrger]

a scone with cheese baked in the fires of Mount Doom, of course. sheesh!

[mimerki.livejournal.com]

Wow, yes, that is better than just the scone...

[buhrger]

and then, a little later, dark dark evil chocolate.

[mimerki.livejournal.com]

Meh. Not so much with the dark dark chocolate. Though the evil will clearly make it more intriguing.

[buhrger]

Not so much with the dark dark chocolate.
<hopeful>then i can have yours?</hopeful>

I'll split it with you. (It's the evil. I must know if evil is tasty.)

[buhrger]

I must know if evil is tasty.
i never thought there was doubt on that point. good is all about nutrition, but evil is where the flavour lives.

[mimerki.livejournal.com]

But evil might be tasty like garlic, and therefore not a good mix with chocolate, which is clearly good for you. Full of anti-oxidants and all that.

[buhrger]

but i specifically specified evil chocolate, ergo no anti-oxidants :-)

[ironymaiden]

but i think that means that evil chocolate is milk chocolate, which makes perfect sense to me.

[mimerki.livejournal.com]

If it's dark dark evil milk chocolate, I can take care of that for you. *nods vigorously*

[buhrger]

evil chocolate is milk chocolate
you seem to be conflating the terms "evil" and "mediocre" here...

[ironymaiden]

nah. the combination of milk and chocolate negates the benefits of each separately. chocolate impedes calcium absorption and milk stops the antioxidants.

milk chocolate is evil. but i will still eat it when dark is not available.
