tootsie_roll_pop Deomis How many licks does it take? 040509 ... iNsEcUrE_GoTh_GiRl ive never had one or let alone seen one, but thanks smurfus rex for givin me one :) 040509 ... smurfus rex I have found that it takes me precisely 23 licks before I start crunching. How many does it take for you, Doar? I have also found, insecure_goth_girl, that Tootsie Roll Pops of any and every flavor make a convenient, pocket-sized, inexpensive, nigh-perfect comfort food that can be indulged in at any time of the day or night. They make you wait, even if it's for a little bit, for your reward and when you finally get to the center, life is just a little bit better. I can't explain why or how, it just is. :) 040509 ... smurfus rex d'oh! Doar = Deomis habit. :D 040509 ... iNsEcUrE_GoTh_GiRl ooo cool i want one for real now! do they sell them in england? 040509 ... kookaburra hey hey hey!!! why cant i get a tootisie roll pop! im not gonna ask again... 040509 ... Deomis I don't like Tootsie rolls, so I wouldn't really know how many licks it takes. Yes, the horror. 040509 ... Deomis Oh, and smurf [us rex] May I inquire as to how that name came to be? 040509 ... smurfus rex goth_girl: you should be able to find them in a candy store at best and a gas station at worst. If you can't find any, let me know. I'll mail you some. Seriously. kookaburra: I tossed you one in who_are_you , but here's another one *toss* because you can't have just one! deomis: how...can...you...not...? do you have an allergy? a distaste of chocolate? what, pray tell, do you not like about tootsie rolls? :):) as for my nick, well, I'm not really sure how it came about. It just popped in my head when I finished my first blathe. Now I think it's funny, cuz it makes me sound like Papa Smurf's rival or something. :) What about yours? 040509 ... Deomis Don't like chocolate?!? Good Heavens, NO! As for tootsie rolls, they don't even taste remotely like chocolate. I mean, they are more than likely 50% wax or rubber or something like that, so why should they taste like chocolate? You are just eating a small chewy, chocolate scented candle, in my opinion. Oop, sorry for not clarifying. I meant, how in the blazes did you happen to associate me with Doar? My name? It was the name of my favorite character in a rather lenghty story I wrote. And the name, I think, when sliced and diced, comes out as Deo [God] mis [I/my ?]. So it's some form of I am God or my God... I don't know. hmm, maybe I should look for that.... 040510 ... smurfus rex I think it was the capital D that started it. That and I clicked 'blather' before my brain caught up with my fingers. I've almost worn off all the letters on my backspace key because of that... 040510 ... iNsEcUrE_GoTh_GiRl lol i love you smurfus rex, you're so cooool *dances with her tootsie roll pop* i've never actually seen one in either a candy store or a gas station, but i'm gonna dedicate my life to finding one now *nods solemnly* 040511 what's it to you? who go blather from
