CHOCO-QUIZ SCORES AND AWARD!!!

This one's for BayGirl32, who put Willie Wonka to shame with her near perfect score (8 out of 10) on this week's challenging choco-quiz. What a relief! I mean, how would I have created a choco-award with a name like, say, AsBlackAsObama or PowderedToastMan? Phew! By the way, if you don't follow her fun blog, do! Her quick wit is as impressive as her choco-smarts.

I can't go lower. It was a hard test, and you all did great to brave it.
I CAN give the rest of you F's, however. You are cute and all, but your answer sheets lacked answers. Today, you'll need to take the short bus home.

Class dismissed. Run along now, and enjoy some chocolate this weekend.
