Can’t buy ’em any more. Banned. I’ve still got some candy papers somewhere, though.

‘Magnifique’ is a word I just coined for ‘French food you need a magnifying glass to see’. You can put it in your Nu-words Dictionary if you wish.

Good luck with your nu-work, even if you don’t live in Nu-Jersey. And i do remember candy cigarettes. Funny thing is, even though I bought them often (because I didn’t have a roll model), it never occurred to me actually smoke one day.

I was more into liquorice cigars and pipes. For some reason those were not on the banned list.

Never could stomach liquorice. Never could spell it either. What other candy is there that can lead to an irregular heart beat?

It’s tragic really. I am addicted to black liquorice and haven’t had even a whiff of it since I started blood pressure medicine.

That’s how I started smoking. Then I moved onto rope then tobacco and now I chew on cigars. They are soooo good! I see by the pic you’re working on a new case. You busted out the magnify glass again. I busted out my glass to see the image on your tie. I’m stumped.

You are slowly becoming my hero. I’m going to a wedding on the weekend, any chance i can borrow it? If not I’ll just wear my Buster Keaton Pork Pie.

Keaton actually gives pretty detailed directions on how to make his hat in his bio. I’ve given some serious thought to it, though I doubt I could pull off that hat in public.

I’d try it out at the wedding. I just don’t want to steal the focus from the bride. The tie would be more subtle. I did attend a wedding a few years ago where someone wore a pork pie.
