quicko: tim tam slam

Maybe this isn't making global headlines, but I think it ought to at least earn prime real estate in, say, national papers. Or maybe local ones. Or really at least a mention on my blog. Extra, extra!! Read all about it! Kim consumed her first successful Tim Tam Slam today. It came after many failed attempts, but, heroic taster that she is, she persevered ever onwards and can finally report a true sucking success.

What is, you may ask, a Tim Tam Slam? Recall if you will a Tim Tam -- that quintessential piece of Australian culture, the chocolate bar covered in chocolate -- and then bite off two diagonally opposing end pieces, then dip one end in tea and then suck (or sock, if you're British and so prefer) and, voila, a Tim Tam Slam! It's a straw made completely of chocolate, and it is a force to be reckoned with -- particularly when it melts and falls completely apart in your now-sticky hands, but that's another story altogether. Then there is no recourse left besides the instantaneous devour, which, I might add, is not wholly without merit.
