You did! You won!

Except I ate it!

Wait, a chocolate covered koala? really? In Japan we used to get little chocolate filled crackers shaped like koalas with cute little koala drawings on them. I miss Japanese candy. A lot.

I hired a bunch of editors to fix my posts, but they just sit around the bar getting drunk.

I love those crackers, my grandmom used to get all these cool Japanese goodies when she lived in SF...

There's always Koala Krispies, made from real organic chocolate and some of the proceeds are used to teach koalas to read.

Regarding irregardlessly guarded editing , regardless of whether you're on or off you guard, there is no need for the "ir". Now move along, these are not the edits you've been looking for.....
