However... recently, one afternoon at work, I supplemented my usual Bastard Strength coffee with a bar of Green & Black's Maya Gold (lovely stuff!). Cue several minutes sitting staring at the monitor, occasionally going "whoo... baby... yeah...". And that was only the small bar. I dread to think of the consequences if I'd gone for the 100g number.

There are numerous restaurants within a couple of blocks to fit all price ranges, from fast food to delis to fine restaurants. And all are within easy walking distance. ACTIVITIES IN AND AROUND DENVER Colorado is one of the world's great vacation destinations. Plan to come early or stay after the Con. One-day trips based from Denver include: Rocky Mountain National Park; Estes Park and the historic Stanley Hotel; world-famous resorts such as Vail and Aspen; and numerous mining towns, complete with gambling casinos.

Farther destinations might include Royal Gorge and the Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings.

Overlaying all, though, are the magnificent Colorado Rocky Mountains. Join us this Summer in Colorado.

Tomorrow I shall attempt to ascertain the results of eating 100g of chocolate while drinking two cups of filter coffee (with two sugars). I estimate insanity by 10am.

He certainly doesn't act that way. Reuben That's why he's called slave, I guess. Anyway, how else would you explain the seven in the series title? And anyway, acting submissive doesn't mean you aren't really alive. If it did, some people I happen to know wouldn't own their own bodies either!
