Seeded on Fri Oct 31, 2008 11:48 AM EDT (slacktivist.typepad.com)
Hmm. I love coffee. I also love shoofly pie. So this could work: Not that any given two things must go well together just because I happen to like both of them. I have no wish to revisit the great Chocolate Covered Bacon fiasco of '05.
