I have started this thread for the use of all those ladies who are recently celebrating their excellent PCRs.
Your gratefulness is acknowledged in advance, and you are most certainly welcome.
I always strive to serve with excellence. Sometimes it comes with a slice of sarcasm and a scoop of irony -- both of which are fat-free, of course.
Bon appetit!!!

Why thank you Trey, and while I have yet to partake of that most delectable chocolate martini recipe posted on this site, I do expect that it will be everything I expect it to be. And also while I do not yet know what my PCR is of late, I will certainly toast and celebrate ANYone who wants to shout out the good news of their own PCRs ! And we love the fat free sarcasm and irony you so devotedly serve up regularly ! What would we do without you ! Bon appetit !!!

Trey, thank you for the thread, slices of sarcasm and scoops of irony are the best way to deliver almost anything in my opinion. But...... if you really were worried your but was fat, all you had to do was ask us, we would sugar coat the answer if it were less than positive, but because you have mentioned in the past how much you work out and can run circles around people much younger than you, I am almost positive your but is quite firm, if not pretty darn attractive. (sight unseen disclaimer of course)

Even if Trey's is on the large size despite his workouts, there are many people out there who find a bit'o junk in the trunk very sexy!

I'm just concerned this post may lead to a rash of butt-posting pictures, with people asking "tell me the truth, does my butt look too big?"
And Trey, it is not the chocolate martinis that leads to big butts. It's the TKIs. It's always the TKIs. We blame everything on them. It's never anything we do. Couldn't possibly be that.

Happycat,
I thought of that too....re: the rash of pictures..ha ! Personally, I believe we can remain assured that if there is any increased incidence of FBs (not facebook, fat-butt), it is VERY likely that it is the TKIs. I am quite sure that is the case. I wonder if any of the other forums have discussions like this ? Trey, you do realize you are responsible for this chatter, don't you ? You have been quiet since starting this...you knew we would run amuck with this one...

Speaking of running amuck......I am not sure chocolate martinis would be a drink of choice for me, but a few shots of Patron with a lime chaser might add a few unneeded pounds to my backside, well uh, frontside, all around sides....... I think I might just have to take me up on that offer. Damn the martinis, Patron ahead!

Got it! But I missed the Chocolate Martini recipe. Don't really love martinis but I do love me some chocolate! I'll hang with Trey on the Patron.

How fun it was to revisit this thread...I thought it was new ! And Trey, we all neglected to mention your ending on your original post...your parenthetical butt crack...yes that was very clever and I am sorry it went unnoticed for almost four years. It was another year beyond this thread before I tasted my first chocolate martini...ahhh...if I'm not mistaken, I believe that possibly Tedsey posted a recipe....if I am correct, I will be happy that the TKIs have not totally obliterated my memory.....what a fun group this is...

Janne,
So glad you caught that. I saw Trey responded but couldn't not figure out what I was missing. Now that it has been pointed out, it makes perfect sense.

How on earth did I miss this post, I must have been in a coma. I like the chocolate martinis 
. If they make my butt look fat I don't care because if I can't see it, then it doesn't exist. I now use a very small make-up mirror so I can see my teeth when I brush. This is a really stupid reply I know I can do better but the words in my head are all jumbled. It's been a foggy day!
