Chocolate always loves you back

[thanate]

...or so says my candy wrapper. I am finished with my taxes (yay!) with a minumum of cursing terrible instructions. So on to more interesting topics, such as bribery! I started seeing this meme, and it occurred to me that I can't remember anyone trying to bribe me with anything. But if someone was inclined to try, maybe these would work:

List 5 things you can be bribed with. And then tag people (5 of them) if you feel so inclined.

1. cookies! particularly chewy ones, and chocolate is a good feature... (Although, actually this is what I usually threaten to use to bribe other people with.) Or maybe ice cream if it's hot out.

2. Silly plastic things like toy horses, fantasy-style action figures, kinder egg toys, or rubix-cube abstinance pens. (Although I have lots of the pens already-- anybody want one? They're fabulously tacky...)

3. Boundless enthusiasm. It's surprising how contageous that can be.

4. The bones of dead things, preferably without icky bits still adhering. Or failing that, flowers or pretty rocks will do too. ("He gave her a dead raccoon. It must be love." --my mother)

5. Something (music, movies, activities, whatever) that I don't know I like yet. (admittedly, this is somewhat hit-or-miss, but worth a try, right?)

Tagging:
Anybody who wants to be tagged.

I would love a rubix-cube abstinence pen. Where did you find them?!

(I noticed you didn't include horrifically strange candy on your list ;) )

I thought you might-- they were thrown out from an office next to the one of the company I was working for at AP Hill after the building got flooded a couple years back in a hurricane. Bob saved a box of pens, and about a crate of pencils with random "wait for sex"-style logos.

scary candy is a token of friendship, not a bribe. :)
