“Bush's new initiative to promote marriage on Mars” is a good phrase.

Marriage, Mars. I guess we’ve reached Week M.

And what’s with black and white M&M’s? I’m willing to eat them but not willing to spend time understanding their latest color-based gimmick. I still miss the ochre-colored ones.

I’m a candy traditionalist.

“House of Sand and Fog” introduces a character by having him take a bite out of a Snickers bar and then subtract its cost in his account book. That movie may be the melodrama equivalent of “The Odd Couple”: One keeps account of a candy bar, the other never opens the mail. Both are trying to live in the same place. Hijinks/tragedy ensues.
