Cake (unless I have the flu, then death would be preferable) Butterflies definitely (as long as not in the stomach, and cake has been consumed) Rum (as long as accompanied by daiquiri fixin’s) Thin and crispy, I’m of the school that views pizza crust as a toppings-delivery mechanism Astérix, definintely. Hot martingale (always wanted to know what that was) Peter Pan Kismet Wallpaper Clock (puffins leave messes) Butter … Sunshine or pencils? The lady or the tiger? ---
