A life by chocolate entails finding sweetness in the light and dark. Moreso, it's about addiction to cocoa. An insatiable sweet tooth doesn't hurt. Well, not until the yucky tartar buildup and stuff. To the point, I strive to entertain with topics such as the utter hilarity and cuteness of children; the challenges of dating, my related rationale for celibacy; and chocolate as a precious remedy for it all. Thanks for sampling Life by Chocolate. I hope you keep coming back for more.

Dufus of the Day Award


Life by Chocolate’s first Dufus of the Day Award goes to the woman who placed the following ad on craigslist, missed connections:

“Good grammar is sexy.”

You came into my workplace wearing a tight grey t-shirt baring the above phrase. I agree completely, and if I wasn't working I would have said something because you were looking so good E. B. White had to have been your granddaddy.

Oh, crap. You've been on CL's Missed Connections haven't you? lol

CL is the shit. You can find, buy, sell, steal, kill, cheat, and otherwise run your entire life from it.

No wonder it is the 8th or 9th most visited website in the world.

The gal who posted that is indeed a dufus, albeit a horny one. lol

Ms. A said...

Careful, woman, you never know what you might get on there. Could be more than you bargained for. I hope you're just looking for funnies.

Gorilla Bananas said...

I hope he came in the next day with the slogan "correct spelling is too" on his t-shirt.

love, love it

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Probably a good thing she missed that opportunity.

Stephen Hayes said...

Funny. I try and stay away from Craig's List. This Dufus Award in well deserved.

Pat Hatt said...

Yeah that is a scary site, avoid it day and night.

Jeremy, it really is (the shit, that is). For a quick and easy - uh - blog post, it's the best, though. Thanks!

MsA, oh no. Sure, I've made some dufus decisions, but never used CL's Missed Connections except for this blog post.

GB, yeah. Let's hope grammar and spelling go hand in hand - for his sake.

ADSL, thanks, hon. Be well!

Alex, I think they're both better off.

Stephen and Pat, you're smart men to avoid CL.

A good, dufus-free day to you all.

Wow. Just... Wow. Not the best way to make an impression. haha

Susan Flett Swiderski said...

Ouch! (Maybe she has some other attributes...?)

Ruth said...

Proofreading-it's a virtue.

John McElveen said...

Dammit, I told my grandma to stop posting things on craigslist.

Pat Tillett said...

Humans are not exactly the most intelligent speicies on our planet!

Empty Nest Insider said...

Looking forward to more "Dufus of the Day Awards," though it will be tough to top this one! Julie

Rosalind Adam said...

Like it !

Betty Manousos said...

i have to admit that is a quite scary site.

Rek said...

I think her hot thoughts got in the way of her grammar. CL is one creepy place for spammers and scammers to hangout. It's woven its nastyy web into India too.

You all make me laugh. Thank you! I'll be making rounds to your blogs asap. For now, I'm off to enjoy my b-day.

Baby Sister said...

Hahahaha. Oh wow. Sometimes people shouldn't be allowed to write/speak. I agree with Pat!!

Unknown Mami said...

I'd blame it on autocorrect.

Rek said...

Wishing you a very happy belated birthday, hope you had lots of chocolate and loved ones for company. :)

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com said...

Geek, unless it's a bad impression she's trying to make. =) The EB White thing makes it even worse.

Susan, good one. I suppose she might have a nice personality.

Ruth, a virtue and a lost art.

John, and bears can walk into bars, and ... love ya.

PTM, how I've missed your comments! Someone's really gotta tranquilize your granny.

Pat, well said. And some are a true embarrassment to the rest of us.

EmptyNest, I look forward to posting more. Somehow I don't anticipate a shortage of material.

Rosalind, thanks. I'm glad.

Betty, they don't get scarier than CL. Not usually, anyway.

Rek, it's hit your country too? That's a shame. PS Thanks so much for the b-day wishes. It was a great one.

BabySis, yes. One should pass a written exam before writing anything beyond a private "note to self."

Unknown, you're very kind. Me, not so much; I blame it on stupidity.

Stuff likes that makes me loose my mind. :-)

His t-shirt must be full of holes!
