    Thursday #207 -- Happy National Licorice Day

    Mario, I guess it's just you and me. Everyone else must be putting away their Easter bonnets and baskets. It's such a nasty day outside, I think I'd like some hot chocolate with a little peppermint Schnapps. I'll be having drinks with little umbrellas and fruit slices on the glass soon enough.

    I'm sorry, what? You think they'll want some proof about National Licorice Day? Will this work? http://www.candyusa.org/Candy/licorice.asp

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Spanish juice, eh? I'll have a cuppa THAT! I LOVE licorice! In fact this past Easter Sunday, after dinner out with a girlfriend, we went and played in Walgreen's and came out with a bag of licorice (and lipstick and nailpolish). We were giggling like teenagers walking down the street, chomping on licorice.

    This bar is just what I need now. Boy, what a week and it's a short week. Don't forget, this Friday is the 13th....always a good day for me.

    I'm not much of a licorice fan but I know someone who absolutely loves red twizzlers. I'll take a double BM with a slushie chaser please and thanks.

    hm......try and say "slushie chaser" fast three times after a few

    My goodness Mario, your tongue is all black......
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    m-m-mmm licorice! Remember the ones that were all rolled up like a mini-tape measure, around a little red ball of candy in the middle? Those were g-o-o-d. But my favorite was Good n' Plenty!
    I brought some nice licorice tea in honor of National Licorice Day.
    Phred, you can eat all the licorice you want in the bar here with no ill effects!

    Yuck, no licorice for me thanks. Phred - you can have mine, after all, at Thursdays, food has no calories, never mind any other deleterious effects. If I get an Easter basket, I save any black jelly beans for my big brother - he actually likes them, I never did! Okay, nowadays, sometimes they are a couple months old by the time he gets them, but hey - jelly beans don't go stale, do they?

    I'd love to help celebrate, but I keep remembering one of the Many "Thou Shalt NOT ..."
    memorandums that the nice Docs & Nurses enjoyed passing out contained a
    threat of pending doom for those who *munched* up on the Evil Licorice Stick!

    I can't remember if Licorice was a heart-stopper or a kidney-killer ...
    but the End Was Near iffin I took so much as a *nibble*!

    I've been tempted to purchase & partake several times ...
    but the thought of the fearful Licorice Police *swooping* in with guns drawn
    has kept me from indulging.

    Maybe I could *sneek* into the L&F to gobble up a stick or two?
