Here I thought I’d come up with something unique – a concoction which, despite its imperfections, would be my secret. Apparently it was known, as of 2007, by a semi-literate Yahoo! Answers user. There is nothing new under the sun… but, for the record, my version of what poopiesmuffin calls a “tootsie roll” requires Kahlua [...]

Nothing inherently wrong with this, in and of itself (if you discount the waste of paper and ink that represents this 5oz homage to all things `Merikuhn) – and, on the plus side, [...]
