Thank you, **Anniz** , **rocking chair** & **Scotti**. We are blissfully happy and it’s nice to be able to share that with our friends, especially here - the place that brought us together - and know that others are also happy for us. **rocking chair** , they have lots of different kinds of cows, but my favorites were, in fact, the holstein ones. Aren’t they just [precious](http://www.dasc.vt.edu/youth/Cow&Calf.jpg)? **Zenster** , you were very close with your translation. Jeg elsker dig meget højt means I love you very much. And you were right on with Stort Kys! BTW, I did try the black licorice and I was surprised to realize that it tastes just like the black licorice I grew up eating - and I love the stuff. Is there some secret nastiness about the licorice in Denmark that I missed? Of course the answer _might_ be found in the fact that I grew up in St. Louis, the former home of [Switzer’s Licorice](http://www.licorice.org/LicoriceFinder/Switzer_s_Licorice/switzer_s_licorice.htm). According to that site, Switzer’s was bought out by Hershey’s and the product no longer tastes the same. However, there is a licorice that’s imported from Finland which purports to taste almost exactly like the old Switzer’s brand, which leads me to believe that the Scandinavian licorice and the stuff I grew up with have basically the same flavor. That’s probably why it didn’t gross me out as expected. **Coldfire** , you are a nasty, nasty boy. No wonder I like you. 😉 More giggle moments from our week together: “Honey, I can’t help it if I have an arm sticking out of my head.” - **Spiny Norman** “It only _seems_ like we did a lot of stuff because, well, we did a lot of stuff!” - **Shayna** (Am I brilliant, or what?) 😃 😃 😃 * * * I really appreciate your consideration in avoiding stepping on my penis - **Spiny Norman** Jeg elsker dig, Thomas [sub][sup]Join [**Team Straight Dope**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=70348) in the [**fight against cancer**](http://www.ud.com/home.htm)![/sup][/sub] ---

You two are slipping! 😛 It is eminently possible that Una & I had a wonderful week together too… 😃 (OK, my talents at understatement need working on… ;)).

Is anybody else goggling over mental imagery here? I keep seeing **Coldy** as a smug Cupid, clad in flapping toga and clogs, blasting down CA highways on a crotch rocket, waving arrows at bemused motorists. ( **tatertot** is surely riding along in spirit, toga streaming and nailing passers-by with arrows filched from **Coldy’s** quiver.) And then there’s **Spiny** , the Stealth Dane, happily roaring right alongside. Of course he’s sporting a shit-eatin’ grin wider than Montana from pure mischief and because **Shayna** is riding pinion, red hair blowing in the slipstream, laughing like a loon, one hand edging from his waist toward… If you guys don’t knock off this shit you’re gonna seriously traumatize bitter, wizened cynics everywhere. Not to mention the Great State Of California in the process. Veb ---

**Veb** , you never cease to crack me up! If an artist does come along, they’ll have to modify the image slightly, though, since I had all my hair cut off on Friday. :eek: Now, what’s it gonna take to get _you_ out to Cali in October? Begging? Pleading? Bribery? Blackmail? 😉 [sub]not that I have anything on you I could use. \[/sub] **fierra** , I’m so glad you and **Anthracite** had a great time, too. She won’t be back over Christmas by any chance, will she? You girls should consider coming up to Denmark, if she is. Woo! ---

Slug. ::backs away _sloooowly_ with superstitious dread:: Okay. All right. Mental readjustments… **Coldy’s** still mooning motorists–toga-control problems–from the crotch rocket. (Yes, it’s a bike. We’re talking IMAGERY here.) Leanin’ back, toga streaming, shades on, clogs rattling on the foot-rests, mooning passers-by…nothing like a naked butt on a leather seat and a grin. **Shayna** now…it still works. Short, emphatic crimson locks; **Spiny** –the Stealth Dane–tooling down the highway, flashing no butt but smoothly keeping pace, grinning like a thistle-eatin’ mule because **Shayna’s** hand is still drifing… Hallmark, eat your heart out.

Sigh. BOM (Bitter old maid) checks in. Well, I knew you were going to cut your hair, but was hoping you might decide against it. Ah, well. Want to post a pic of your lovely new look? Glad you had such an absolutely fabulous time. [hijack]So, what are you doing this coming weekend? I’m cooking…[/hijack] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Arden Ranger \* > \*\* > Nooooo!!! > > You had such gorgeous hair! \*\* Awww, thanks, **Arden**. But really, it was getting very hard to manage, was constantly getting in the way (I think I closed the car door on it at least 3 times that weekend) and it had a lot of damage on the ends. It was time. And besides, the great thing about hair is that it grows back! > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Heloise_ > > **[hijack]So, what are you doing this coming weekend?

I want copies of those cards to send out to all my friends for the holidays, ok? 🙂 [sub]And I’d better see you at the Dopetoberfest, young lady! This is only the beginning of my endless harrassment until I know you’ve booked your flight.
