Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds fabulous, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was, as ever, not quite mapley enough.

The answer to this problem is, I suspect, on your shelf next to the pancake mix.

As a kid, down on Olvera Street, my Dad used to buy me maple sugar candy, that was pure molded maple sugar in the form of maple donkeys and maple men & women and maple rabbits and maple ducks. Can't get much maplier than that. Don't know if anyone but a little kid can stand something that sweet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I remember those candies, Typo.

Oh, yeah, those things were great.

I loved them as a kid. I wonder if we would still love them today? I know someone served me applejacks recently which was a favorite cereal as a kid, and was - disappointed.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You can get those maple sugar candies at pretty much every place that sells souvenirs in Maine and Vermont. I still like them, but I've got to eat them pretty slowly, or else it's too much sugar.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I get those when I visit places like Old Sturbridge Village (and brought back a bunch from my trip to Vermont, making sure they were Made there). You nibble at one really slowly to let the maple-y flavor melt on your tongue. I can make one last for ten minutes.
