Cancer sticks for Christmas
Derrick and I bought some really awesome chocolates for Bob's party. Normally, alcohol is the best gift for his parties, but he's moving to London. Consumeables seemed a good choice, and under the influence of a major chocolate rush on Thursday, delicacies were purchased.
Those yummy little green tea ganaches and truffles chilled in the fridge, sending out their chocolatey siren songs. Eat us, Glenn, eat us.... I resisted, knowing that I would partake of their deliciousness that evening.
It didn't happen. We took the L train from the Morgan stop, then switched to the 1/9 station. Here is our conversation as we waited for the 1 or 9 train:
Derrick, where's the chocolate?
Panicked look. I don't have it.
You're kidding me. Is it in your bag?
Exasperated look. I don't have it.
No, really. Stop pulling my leg. Where is the choco?
Face falls off, flames burst out of eye sockets. I DON'T HAVE IT! I LEFT IT ON THE L TRAIN! Face reattaches.
We raced back to the L train, as our exact train was looping back. I see the bag, race into the area, retrieve the bag. Yes! Victory! No. Loss. Someone had taken the contents, then left the bag. Damn, damn, damn.
Bob takes the loss with unflappable equanimity. He wants a carton of cancer sticks, the ones that cowboys apparently smoke, but lighter. I'm opposed to tarring anyone's lungs, but I had lost my own substitute for oral gratification.
You heard me. Oral gratification.

it was only a pack, not a carton ... and I thank you very much ... in fact, I could use another pack right now, if you're in the neighborhood

Somewhere, someone who "happened" upon the package au chocolait on the L Train is thanking the Coco Gods for his good fortune.
