Oh, and there's no h in the name. -- Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Apparently Still Knows Fucking Everything Mail: Same username as at the top left of this post, at iki.fi

I understood from context that DrooK was talking about a chocolate company, and if I hadn't, Google (or if it was Bing) was nothing but chocolate for at least the first page. The point (such as it was) of my joke was that the skier was the only entity of that name I'd heard of; the chocolate was new to me. -- Christian R.

The store had sales on candy that had failed appearance inspection. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

When I visited a few years ago, I didn't know about Ghirardelli at all, I came across it almost by accident walking over Russian Hill (yes, I walked from Market St). Quite a good introduction to the Fisherman's Wharf area. Wade.
