I am eating a mini-Krackel this minute and there were three on the table before this post came up. Eerie!

Aw shucks, thanks Becks. And if anyone here would like a full-size Krackel, do speak up. There's about 33 left and someone needs to save me from eating them all.

Note that the Krackles were almost abandonned to the hazards of Recessions.

Actually I left them again, this time at Julian's house in a drunken stupor. But I should be able to reclaim them on Tuesday at poker. And then I will make everyone there eat them so I don't take them all home with me.

Why are you going to reclaim them if you just want to get rid of them?

I would think general principle.

And the proof factor.

Well really they belong to the Nabob, who thus far hasn't been able to be served his Krackels. But Becks is right about principle. I went to the trouble of obtaining them; I'd at least like to be the one to supervise their eventual distribution.

I think I'd prefer Mary-Louise to touch my Krackels.

Thus the world was spared "Oboe Krackel", "Hephaestus Krackel", "Impresario Texture Gong Krackel", etc.

I may be overstating the strangeness of Ms. Paltrow's preferred class of baby names.

Now I want to have a kid just so I can name him "Impresario Texture Gong" (but I would nickname Bill or something).

Hey, so, can I hijack this thread to ask for some advice? My wife and I are leaving in less than a week for Europe (first time across the Atlantic!) and I'm wondering if any of you worldly cosmopolitan types have any advice for sights to see, places to eat, and so on, in Positano/Amalfi and Venice (besides the obvious).

Thanks!

OT, but I had to share. I just got an inadvertently great piece of spam. It's from some fake Microsoft Windows Mega Lottery Jackpot. The subject heading is awesome. "Congratulations! You Immerged a Lucky Winner..." Soem day when the lottery winner is an absolute ass, I do, indeed, hope to immerge him.
