Coconuts: I was beginning to panic and then you reminded me that the world was going to end next year. Phew...

I'm with Siouxie on this one. Noooooooooooooo! Fortunately I'm a chocolate hoarder so I'm pretty well supplied right now. Tomorrow I'll be going out and buying more. Soon, all your chocolate belong to me!

Guys, if you think this is funny, keep in mind many women self-medicate with chocolate to ease the symptoms of PMS.
If you think we're cranky now, wait'll we run out of chocolate.

No chit, Annie. They may just pray for the Apocalypse.

Wait'll Glenn Beck starts hawking gold foil chocolate gelt and chocolate bullion from Brownline. "The price could quadruple when the government starts printing paper chocolate dollars."

Don't worry, it's only Fair Trade cocoa that is in short supply. The old-fashioned kind produced by enslaved children is still plentiful, thanks to Free Enterprise.

Hasn't everyone heard that the world is ending on May 21 this year? So, no worries. The supply will last.
My wife can have my share.

Um Steve, the Rapture starts on May 21. I have that on good authority from a guy on a NYC subway platform. The end of the world is Dec. 21, 2012. But you're still okay with the supply...

I need my chocolate!
