Licorice Laces memories... As a kid I always enjoyed visits to my great-aunt's house. I didn't enjoy them because of her smelly clothes and lack of toys, but because she always gave me a huge bag of licorice laces. I remember one instance when I had recently read a Garfield comic where Garfield has Jon tie all the ends of his spaghetti together and then responds "one slurp spaghetti." As a kid my mind immediately thought of doing that with licorice laces, which resulted in my spending an entire day attempting the problem. Although I got too hungry to finish the project, it made for an interesting story to tell for years. ~ Constantine from New Jersey |
