To all my MN peeps (and Michigan)

We are still trying to get in touch with some MnRF people about Bart's death.

If anyone has contact info for:
The Troll
The Wizard

Please have them contact me ASAP.

EDIT: Also Larry & Crytal from MICHIGAN faire
Thanks so much.

EDIT AGAIN: Everyone who we knew needed to know has now been contacted. Candy called and said we could "call off the dogs". Thanks to rillaspins for the MN connection.

Yeah, I never learn...

In spite of many warnings, most specifically from cadhla, I hold in my hand a bottle of CocaCola Blak. Well, technically not in my hand, I mean, I had to put it down to type this, but you get the idea.

Hmm - Coffee extract listed BEFORE phosphoric acid? AND added cafffeine on top of that?

*twists off cap*

*sniffs*

Smells like an infernal combination of coke and burnt coffee. This is not a promising sign...

Though on the second sniff I find I actually kind of like it. This is not a promising sign about my sanity.

*sips cautiously*

First note is sort of sweety-caramel.

Then OMG ATTACK OF THE FIZZ IT BURNS IT BUR....ah - it stopped.

The you get a heavy hit of syrupy Coke flavor - kind of like when my mom used to give me a teaspoon of Coke syrup when I had an upset tummy.

Finally a long lingering mouth feel of burnt coffee. Bleh.

In conclusion, not as awful as I had been led to believe but overall just kind of gross. And I think it's giving me heartburn, after 3 cautious sips.

CocaCola Blak. Just say BLAAAAAAAAAK!!!

(I'm gonna go eat something now. 'Cuz, like...ew)
