The somewhat put-out but unhumbled Bob's Magnificent Chocolate Flake +1
Brown Twist #4 -1
Do you Twisty guys ever have to pick bog roll out of it, or do you leave it in to help with the niccups?

Long and drawn out, involves numbers, and no thrills. Is this baseball?
No thrills? What are you, my ex?
This exercise will not only prove once and for all what the best blend is, it also will show you who your true friends are.
One thing that is different between this and baseball is that I enjoy watching baseball. (Insert drumroll and laugh track here)
Ennerdale -1
1989 +1
Stop trying to raise the dead. Necromancy is forbidden.
No more like divorce court.
I'm just gonna swing at the blends in the lead...
Rouxgaroux (whatever the hell that is) -1
FVF -1

Golden Sliced - Orlik
A titan of sorts has fallen. One of the most legendary offerings in the history of the tinny industry: Orlik Golden Slices. I remember the first time I saw a tin of it, I was confused. To me it looked like the Quaker Oats guy dressed as a rather confused nun. It made me nun to curious to try it.
With Orlik's death, we reach the final 10. Throughout this game, glories have been had, enemies vanquished, legends crafted and subsequently demolished. I believe it was the grizzled old wizard Gandalf who once declared that a wizard is never early nor late, but arrives precisely when he means to. It's impossible to predict what lies in the road ahead in this war of sorts, but one fact holds saliently true: @telescopes is no wizard. He always arrives with fresh bandages, ready to heal his favorite blend... mere moments after its head and body have become strangers.
If this game was the movie 127 hours, @telescopes would show up with a crow bar, a chain, and an intricate system of pulleys... but not until Franco had already worked through the meat and his pocketknife was getting a taste for bone. Good luck getting that image outta the head!
