This is a great story TJ. I keep thinking about other uses for Grannies Christmas Cake.

I am sure there will be lots of volunteers.

I replied over at the archives, but I just have to repeat it here! "Fruit cakes and Liberace music for all!" Now how could this *not* be their best Christmas ever? TJ, this was great! So utterly ridiculous and fabulous at the same time!!

I'm off to comfort the Condor first... be back later!

Clearly Springie wants fruitcake and Liberace music for Christmas! Hey... how come we don't have a :liberace: smilie?????

Irrelevant piece of trivia: I once stayed at the home of a woman in Milwaukee, Wisconsin who had been a ballet teacher in the 1930s (she was in her 80s when I met her) and the teenager who played the piano for her classes had been... Walter Liberace. She conceded that he went on to greater success than any of her dance students!

What is that: 2 degrees of separation? Just think..... you almost touched Stardom

It's a weird story. My last year at McGill, I was taking a history class called "French Fascism and the Catholic Counter-culture" taught by a prof mostly interested in right-wing ideological movements in inter-war France, but I was able to convince him to let me write my big paper on JRR Tolkien, by claiming that he was Catholic and sort of "counter-culture," albeit not French. The prof agreed to this -mostly, I think, because his 14 year old son had become obsessed with Tolkien, had painted a dragon mural on his bedroom wall, was growing his hair long, had taken to wearing a long cape and wanted a sword for Christmas. This prof had recently (out of curiosity) infiltrated a meeting of some strange right-wing group in Europe, with neo-pagan leanings, and this group had included the works of Tolkien among the books they were selling. I think the prof was hoping my paper would let him know if he should be really concerned about his son or not! At any rate, I somehow mentioned to this prof that Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, had the largest archive of Tolkien-related material. He told me that his mother lived in Milwaukee (the eighty-something former ballet teacher) and that I should go visit Marquette University to research my paper, and that I could stay with his mother. So, I did.

Wow... that's some generous prof!!!!
