Thank you for the reminder.
I loved that stunt.

A cunning stunt indeed

Isn't that the difference between a subtle magic trick and a beautiful fashion model?

Hello, JKD

Back in 1963, I was playing in the house band at a popular dance hall. Tuesday night was rehearsal night. I remember one particular Tuesday night we were rehearsing Please Please Me when Bernie, the guy who ran the place, stuck his head in.

'What's that rubbish?' he asked.

Our lead vocalist told him that it was the new Beatles song.

'Well, I can tell you for nothing, that's going to be the flop of the year. Don't waste your time. Practice something that people can dance to.'

If you gentlemen are flashing back to the 60's, you might as well listen to something that deals with flashbacks. Have a puff with the magic dragon.

I looked up Honah Lee in my atlas. It's not there!

Of course it's not in your atlas Sam...It's a magic dragon, so, Honah Lee is mythical also.

Although, it is denied that the song has anything to do with drug use. It's odd that:

Those who explain the Peter Paul & Mary song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" as a marijuana metaphor explain that Puff's homeland "Hanah Lee" is actually the town of Hanalei, which, according to them, is renowned for its marijuana. (This interpretation has been rejected by the song's authors).

Who is this Mary Juana of whom you speak, Apple?

She's a woman I know from Mexico~! (yes, it rhymes)
Have you never met?

I think she passed by me one night, back in the day.

Black Magic ...

Speaking of chocolate...on my last trip to Europe, I only spent about 36 hours in Berlin, but thankfully this little corner shop was close to the hotel.

The stuff they have is proof that chocolate can be a religious experience.

Yes, JK, opposite the Hilton Berlin, just across from Gendarmenmarktplatz. The taste! The scent! The feel! The sight! The Brandenburg Gate and even the Titanic rendered in Chocolate! And upstairs! Salad and soups mit Schokolade!

My part of Germany was further west - near the Dutch border.

My part of Germany was further west - near the Dutch border.

My first trip through Germany, when I was in high school, was to the western portion...Frankfurt and Cologne. The last one thirty years later took in Berlin and the maternal side of the family's original stomping grounds near Hamburg. I was quite impressed with every part I visited.

I think the next time (if there is one) it will include the UK again and see if I can track down my dad's side of the family. I figure after nearly 400 years, they are due for a visit from someone descended from the three brothers that ran away from home.

Hello, JKD

If everyone who was descended Brits who set sail for other parts returned for a week or so, fair Albion would probably sink into the North Sea.

Let us know if you do, please.

There'd be less space for refugees and other immigrants, I guess.

It would be fun tracking down family in the old country. But then again, they might not be so welcoming either. Especially since it only took a half dozen or so generations for descendants of the original three to become Revolutionary war generals, part of the founding fathers gang, and take charge as some of the first politicians. And some of us are still stirring things up today.

Actually I just want to see London again and take a jaunt up to Loch Ness.

H.P. Did you read the description along with your "box of chocolates"?

Black Magic
Within our iconic and stylish black & red packaging lies an array of taste combinations just waiting to be discovered. The understated elegance of the Black Magic box makes it an indulgent, stylish gift to present to family, friends or loved ones. The experience makes it a present you’ll enjoy giving as well as receiving.

If they didn't have the box of chocolates posted, I'm not sure I would have thought that was what they were describing. I was tempted to change a few words and make it even more suggestive, but I didn't want to embarrass any of you gentlemen~!

JKD and Tio, you are both killing me here~! I can't read anymore and I have to sign off and go to the gym just to burn off the naughty thoughts of all of that chocolate~! If I had a fetish, and I'm not saying I do, but if I did....it would involve chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate~!

I may not be able to visit this thread until a new page starts and the chocolate references are gone. I have no willpower when it comes to the taste of superior chocolate. I barely have it when it comes to average chocolate.
