Hrm, I seem to be having a series. After reading my CGW yesterday, I had a dream where I played Ticket to Ride, despite never having played it in real life. I played it as a boardgame, and wondered why the game had to make me put 5 stacks of 52 cards in my little playbox and pick one of them to draw from. Then I knocked over all my cards, and someone laughed at me.
No definite Tom Chick in this dream though. And no burlap bag.
Met_K and Crypt would have a lightning-flinging deathmatch as Jason channeled the ghosts of historical progressives, each making a speech through his mouth. Tom would then ban you all.
70% Le Petit Ecolier - a French shortbread/chocolate square cookie, is pretty stout and fairly common in US grocery stores. IF you can find them unmelted (they seem to bake in the ship going across).
Pretty much uniformly American chocolate sucks - if you can call it chocolate.
