"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for.
Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there’s nothing else left to eat.
Sure, once in a while there’s a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they’re gone too fast and the taste is… fleeting.
So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts.
And if you’re desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers. "——-The Cigarette Smoking Man (The X Files)
Bon appétit ; )

But I like the nuts! I’ll skip the scorpion, however. Steve I’m beginning to worry about your dietary habits.

A box of chocolates? (!)
When I first saw the thumbnail image I thought it was a box of decorated doughnuts, maybe with cream-filled mushy profiteroles in the middle row – and my left frontal lobe promptly signaled "Aha! A Man of Good Taste! Obviously a scholar and a gentleman."
Then I find out chocolates – delicate little things with no artery-clogging power at all – just a few measly calories and a little caffeine. Quality over quantity and similar guilt-assuaging clichés.
Sigh… This could have been so beautiful…

Wishing you twelve months of the most high quality "chocolate coated moments" of your entire life Steve. From deep in my heart.
