Oh, I'm fine. Still working as a translator. I'm rather fed up with
winter, though. Perhaps I'll be able to visit some sunny, warm country
a bit later on this year.

You should go to Greenland--it sounds like a nice, verdant, sunny place.
I spent the last few years stuck in Mordor...er...I mean, grad school,
but in the end I managed to steal back my soul and escape with a
master's degree. With Mount Doom erupting around me, I flew away on
eagle's wings, to the beautiful land everyone dreams about: New Jersey.
I tried to convince the eagle to take me somewhere cool, but he told
me to shut up and if I didn't stop bothering him he'd rip out my liver
every day for 30,000 years.... So I made no further complaint. Since
then I have taken up with a pharmaceutical company, as a practitioner of
the arcane art of medicinal chemistry.
And I lived happily ever after, if it is prudent to write such an ending
so long before it is really finished.

all that talk about eating orcs was barbaric enough (horrible waste of
labor resources); but this post can gone beyond the pale into the area
of the absolutely morally repellent. shame!

But beware the jabbering wok, my son; the oil that fries and the heat
that burns. Unless you have a vorpal sword that shoots snickers
snack-sized candy bars. Then the wok will deep fry them and leave you
alone.

Yes, I know. I shouldn't eat honey mustard. It was wrong. I knew it
was wrong, but I did it anyway.

Speaking of which, did you know that deep-fried Mars bars have become
popular in Scottish grill joints? The Scots must have decided on
collective suicide. Perhaps their sporrans are itching.

I think there's about four or five fish-and-chip shops why actually
do "deep friend Mars bars" (the US equivilent would be a deep
friend Milky Way) in the whole of Scotland and I don't know
a single Scot who's actually eaten one. Lots of tourists who've
heard of the legend, but no locals.

You could write to the OED or the BBC's Wordhunt team and ask them to
investigate! I mean, if they can find out the origin of "Ploughman's
lunch" or "99 Flake", then surely the origin of "deep-fried mars bars"
isn't beyond them... (references are to a BBC2 programme called
'Balderdash and Piffle', which is, somewhat frivilously, bringing the
subjects of etymology and lexicography to the masses).
BTW, interesting typos: deep friends? :-)

Er, no. It would be a deep-fried Mars bar. I can't recall seeing Milky
Ways on this side of the pond, but we _do_ have Mars bars.

Nope, what an American calls a "Mars Bar" is NOT the same as
the UK "Mars Bar". Trust me on this. (unless you're getting the
European version imported)
http://www.cybercandy.co.uk/search/index1.php/url_indprod/xd bc_992
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_bar
And in the UK what we call a "Milky Way" is similar to a US
"Three Musketeers" bar.

I have heard of the general phenomenon of deep-fried candy bars,
although I have never partaken of one myself. It sounds tasty!

The world is hopelessly confused.... Gone all higgledy-piggledy....
Who can keep things straight.... I tried to fly to Mars, but missed and
got stuck in the soft, chewy nougat of the Milky Way. Oh well, all for
one and one for all!

There's is a bit of an overpowering picture here:
