“Really, Liz.  What do the common folk do?”

M.T.,

This discussion of the exact number of the Collins family “jewels,” reminds me of a World War II gag song, sung to the music of the theme song from the film, The Bridge on the River Kwai,” which goes:

“Hitler has only got one b@ll,

Goering has two, but very small.

Himler — is very similar,

And, Goebbels has no b@lls, at all!”

Yes, Gerard, I remember all of those cigarette ads on tv, like on all of the televised baseball and football games.

By the way, who was the biggest “nicotine freak” on DS: Burke Devlin, Sarah Johnson or Dr. Julia “Lucky Strike” Hoffman?

Maybe they meant to celebrate the 53rd hexagram of the I Ching, the hexagram of cheap ripoffs? 

We lose another member of the Greatest Generation.

Requiem aeternam, Mr. Tomashoff.

God bless Denise, Jasmine and Josh.  I hear you, Patti; it’s terrible to lose your mom and Denise is still so very young.

Gerard,

We all hope and pray that Denise recovers completely and that we see her at a future Dark Shadows event with her wonderful family.
