Preparing myself for a "Tim Tam Slam"

The Aussies call it the "TIM TAM SLAM."
Here is how it's done.
1. Take a Tim Tam. One of AUSTRALIA'S iconic delights, a Tim Tam is a popular biscuit (cookie) consisting of a layer of chocolate cream between two chocolate biscuits (cookies) covered in -- you guessed it -- chocolate. That's a lot of chocolate... not that I'm complaining, mind you.
2. Bite off two diagonally opposite corners of the Tim Tam.
3. Slurp hot tea or coffee through the cut corners, such as you would suck liquid through a straw.
4. Pop the entire remainder of the Tim Tam into your mouth just before it disintegrates.
I plan to attempt this feat at least once when I visit SYDNEY in August.

I am a Bay Area native and former Oregon resident, now living in Iowa with my family. When it gets cold, I recall my high school days in Phoenix, Ariz. I am a music geek with a passion for funky jazz, obscure soul and early reggae. I love the Giants, the 49ers, Blazers and MY BELOVED OREGON DUCKS. I am also a soccer fanatic who adores Leyton Orient and Sheffield Wednesday. I love Japanese cinema, especially the films of Seijun Suzuki and Ko Nakahira's "Kurutta Kajitsu."
