It is so big, bold and beautiful! LOL

I had to look up your avatar, Mr. Kin. Salmiakki? Salty liquorice? Is it really good? My Mom loved liquorice. Wikipedia does not make it sound too good. LOL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salty_liquorice

LOL...if you ever go to IKEA it's sold there as Swedish salty fish. My advice is wait to try them next to a sink. Here is the ice cream which is good too. View the first one on YouTube.

Oh I think they are so interesting, very telling about a person. Who knew you loved Swedish salty fish candy and Swedish salty fish ice cream, Kin. LOL I can't imagine how it tastes. And I will die not knowing.

Where is Pirl? Her photo is so perfect, she needs to take a bow.
