The Battle of Chocolate: USA V UK



Starring Saint Chuckles with Guest in background

We chose the type of visual effect with the Microsoft LifeCam, but did not know exactly how it would it appear until we finished filming. I did not realize I would be blacked out, although it appeared that way from the back during the presentation but my view was distorted.

Anyway, it turned out funny and educational...

No, I am not jumping...

  3. The boys had been up in the attic together helping with some cleaning. The kids uncovered an old manual typewriter and asked her, "Hey Mom, what's this?"

    "Oh, that's an old typewriter," she answered, thinking that would satisfy their curiosity.

    "Well, what does it do?" they queried.

    "I'll show you," she said and returned with a blank piece of paper. She rolled the paper into the typewriter and began striking the keys, leaving black letters of print on the page.

    "WOW!" they exclaimed, "That's really cool. But how does it work like that? Where do you plug it in?"

    "There is no plug," she answered. "It doesn't need a plug."

    "Then where do you put the batteries?" they persisted.

    "It doesn't need batteries either," she continued.

    "Wow! This is so cool!" they exclaimed. "Someone should have invented this a long time ago!"

  4. Some time ago, I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water....!!


    A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, as I was screaming, & asked me if I had some plain old flour...

    I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes.

    He said, in Vietnam , there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!!!!

    ... Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 mins, pulled it out and did not even have a red mark or a blister & absolutely NO PAIN.

    Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. *Cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.

    I use the flour and have never ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister!

    I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes .... the pain was gone and no burn.

    Try it . . . Experience a miracle!

    Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did!


    Flour has heat absorbent property and also has a strong antioxidant property, thus it helps in burn patients if applied within 15 minutes.

  10. Personally, I don't like dark chocolate. Years ago, I had a giant Toblerone bar, and I found it a bit bland to my taste, from what I recall. I don't eat a lot of chocolate, though.

    European vs. American Chocolate: What’s the Difference?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Quoted: thanks Doug

    'That’s because those Cadbury milk bars contain 23 percent cacao in comparison to the American-made Hershey bars, which contain only eleven percent cacao, resulting in a much darker, richer taste in the Cadbury bar.


    The second major difference is sugar content. As a result of American-made chocolate having lesser percentage cacao, there is a higher sugar content. That’s why Americans are usually known for their lighter, sweeter milk chocolates while Europeans consider their chocolates to be almost bitter as a result of the low sugar content.'

    I like both, North American milk chocolate and darker chocolate from Europe and the UK.

    I do not like them too bitter or too sweet though.

    Cheers, Doug.

  14. On the Briefing today, Albert Mohler was asking if post-Christian Europe would survive?

    Stating it was doomed as post-Christian.

    Of course it will survive.

    Note, I have EU/UK passport as well as being CDN born and with citizenship. I have lived in UK two years of my life and incidentally my Euro friend Anjela states I am Euro.

    Anyway...the EU may change and lose some power...


    When was Europe not very sinful, historically?

    Was Christian Europe ever Biblically Christian?

  15. Of all the blonde jokes, this one has to be one the best -- because it makes football make sense!


    A guy took his blonde girlfriend to the Grey Cup game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench.

    After the game, he asked her how she liked it.
    "Oh, I really liked it," she replied, "especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents."
    Dumbfounded, her boyfriend asked, "What do you mean?"
    "Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was... 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!"

  16. This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool! Feel free to surf to my web site: adjustable folding table

  18. Hi folks! I have got problems with academic

    assignments. There is a great number papers to complete within a month. How on earth do you generally handle these

    issues? Wonder if you had successful experience with any reliable writing firms which

    assure effective help for undergraduates? Thanks!
    (Edited, already googled and found some good bookmarks here http://paperexpert.tumblr.com ) Forgot, that i had a successful experience with one of these sites. Last

    year this online service completed three academic papers for me. All of them were accepted with advantage. The worst rating was ”good”, so i think i should stick with that

    service :) Sorry again, if the topic is in wrong place or smth. like that )
