Click on the link I sent Kimmi, then on that page, click at the the top where it says--ironically--"What is TJ's?"

I think you use straws to drink out of the scorpion bowl. But knowing Miss Kitty, maybe she was just blowing the paper off the straws. I bet whatever it was she was doing, was funn.

Okay my little kitten....here's what you need to know. Trader Vic's was/is a kitchsy (?) Polynensian bar and restaurant very popular back in my youth. Your father and I (and friends) used to go there on "special" occasions (too $$). They had the most delicious fruity tooty drinks in these huge tiki bowls that you could share. They came with these straws that were like 2' long (24" ). I usually shared one with my girlfriends and always ended up doing something with the straw....mostly having fencing fights and poking your father!!!

I knew I had met you before!! I loved Trader Vic's!! My mother used to live on one of the "M" streets and we used to go all the time!! (Well, every so often-$$). You probably sat at the next table! Oooooh! Let's go!! :clap_1:
