INDEPENDENCE DAY

Today - the Fourth of July - is Independence Day commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776, by which the US announced its independence from Britain. Many historians claim that the Declaration was signed a month later on 2 August 1776. The Philippines also celebrates the same day as it became independent from the US on 4 July 1946. Here are ten bits of trivia about the USA:
1. The Statue of Liberty was given to the American people by the French to commemorate the American Declaration of Independence. A ceremony of dedication was held on 28 October 1886 on Bedloe’s Island, which later became known as Liberty Island. The Statue of Liberty is widely seen as the symbol of America, but it was not always seen in this light. Given to the Americans by one imperial power for defeating another imperial power, the statue was met with indifference by many Americans. It was only much later, with the mass arrival of immigrants at Ellis Island in New York, that the statue embodied America and the promise of a new and free life.
2. Texting while driving causes about 6,000 American deaths every year.
3. A CBS News survey found that half of guests staying at Hilton, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Marriott and Sheraton hotels in the US purchase a so-called adult movie, contributing to 70 per cent of in-room profits for the hotel chains. It is claimed that the country’s porn industry generates income of well over $10 billion, of which only a half is legally generated. American porn is one of the country’s most successful exports.
4. The US imprisons a greater share of its population than any other country in the world.
5. The World's Championship Duck Calling Contest is held annually in Stuttgart, Arkansas.
6. Of all the countries in the world, the US has by far the highest divorce rate.
7. Only 30 per cent of Americans have passports.
8. The World Series, championed by Major League Baseball, is an annual baseball series of games between the winners of the American League and the National League. Toronto Blue Jays are the only non-US baseball team to win the World Series!
9. Lyndon B Johnson, the US President in the 1960s, called his penis, ‘Jumbo’.
10. Americans seem to like conspiracy theories: 37 per cent of Americans believe climate change is a hoax, 27 per cent believe Americans never landed on the moon, 11 per cent believe that the US government knew about 9/11 before it happened, 6 per cent believe Osama bin Laden is still alive, and 5 per cent believe Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a doppelganger.
What does the US mean to you?
If from the US, what is the best thing about the US?
If not from the US, have you visited the US?
If so, what tips would you give to a first-time visitor to the US?
To me, the US means many things: big cars, big food portions, big tips, big corporations, Hollywood, JF Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, guns, golf courses, Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods, soccer moms and rednecks, the Cold War, Boston Tea Party, Frank Sinatra, Apollo 11, US foreign policy, Google and Facebook, American football and baseball, The Beach Boys and The Doors, 9/11 and the War on Terror, Frasier, New York skyscrapers, Texas oil and J R Ewing, Michael Jackson, Chicago Blackhawks and New York Yankees, Columbo and Kojak, ranches and rodeos, Marilyn Monroe, disco and music, Grand Canyon and Redwood trees, Las Vegas, Florida, American Civil War and slavery, California's Silicon Valley, gangs and cults, Route 66, Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton, Walt Disney, the civil rights movement, cowboys and Indians, George Bush and Sarah Palin, Bruce Springsteen, Roe v Wade, and phrases like ‘have a nice day’ and ‘happy holidays’!
I have visited the US several times, mainly New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC. My three tips to people going to America for the first time are: don’t forget to tip (and tip big); don’t have a starter if you want a dessert at a meal, and Americans don’t do irony!

17 per cent of tomato ketchup consumed worldwide is made in the Taklimakan Desert in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. The state-controlled company, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, run an immigration settlement in the desert, where its 38th Regiment of the 2nd Agricultural Division grow tomatoes and make tomato ketchup.
The state-run company is a bingtuan, a Chinese term for a military corps. The bingtuan runs its own hospitals, schools and newspapers. It has its own police, courts and prison systems, and it employs 120,000 people to serve in its militia. One company manager boasted to a visitor, “I’ve got a dozen big guns and a company of artillery troops; what about you?”
Do you say tomahtoh or tomaytoh?
Do you like eating tomatoes?
Do you grow tomatoes?
What is your favourite brand of tomato ketchup, tomato soup and baked beans?
I love tomahtohs. Tomato juice is one of my favourite drinks; I can drink two cartons of tomato juice at a time. Heinz is best for tomato ketchup, tomato soup and baked beans.

FELCHING

Felching is the sexual act of licking and sucking semen from a vagina and anus. Sometimes, serious felchers use a straw!
Felching was first used as a term in Ronald Farrell’s 1972 essay on homosexual subcultures – for those who want to read more, see Farrell R A (1972) The Argot of the Homosexual, Anthropological Linguistics, 14(3) pp97-109.
The Betty Hubbard Clinic sells a pneumatic felch pump for only £29-99. The dishwasher-able pump is approved by both the American Felching Association and British Felching Association. Though “not recommended for use with pig semen”, the pump has been endorsed by Dame Thora Hird. This must be true because it’s on the internet!
This is the only felching joke I know, and it’s bad:
A man came back home hot and sweaty after walking the dog. His wife asked, “What have you been up to?". "I've been in the back playing felch with the dog," he answered. "Surely you mean fetch," she laughed, “but why have you got a straw in your hand after walking the dog.”
Have you ever partaken in a bit of felching?
If so, did you like it? And did you use a straw?
What’s the worst joke you have ever heard?
I have very limited experience in felching but I do know now why some women won’t swallow. Spunk is very salty!

From where I stand, the Polyamory Date site seems to be getting better in recent months. There seem fewer glitches and recent changes introduced on the site seem more carefully thought through.
The revamped blogs homepage at least exposes people to a lot more blog posts, whether random, trending or most popular. It also gives people more choice. Blog posts are uploaded immediately unlike in the past when there was a wait while Polyamory Date approved the post. Though I don’t like the new message centre, it does seem to work. Polyamory Date’s SiteSupport blog is active and informative on what bugs Polyamory Date is trying to fix.
Is it just me, or is Polyamory Date getting better?
Polyamory Date gave me a year’s free membership for this post!

Today is Canada Day, celebrating the enactment of the British North America Act on 1 July 1867. Here are ten bits of trivia in honour of Canada:
1. The border between Canada and the US, at 5,525 miles long, is the world’s longest border between countries; Canada also has the world's longest coastline at 125,566 miles.
2. Canada did not have a national flag until 1965 when it adopted the maple leaf flag.
3. In Ontario, a public health agency has designed the video game, Adventures in Sex City, to promote safe sex for teenagers; the game includes a team of superheroes, protected by condom shields, and a villain called the Sperminator – see above picture!
4. Behind Russia, Canada is the second largest country in the world; it is nearly three times the size of Australia, more than 18 times the size of France, about 28 times the size of Germany and nearly 41 times the size of the UK.
5. The ice-hockey loving Canadian, Mark Carney, has just been appointed the new Governor of the Bank of England; he has been described as the George Clooney of banking!
6. A Canadian, James Naismith, invented the game of basketball in 1891.
7. A black bear cub from Canada named Winnipeg, and shortened to Winnie, was donated to London Zoo and inspired the author A A Mine’s to write the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.
8. While Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau dated the Hollywood actress, Barbra Streisand.
9. The longest street in the world is Yonge Street in Ontario; it is 1,178 miles long.
10. According to the not-always-reliable Urban Dictionary, there are sex acts called the Newfoundland lobster pot, Saskatoon totem pole, the two-handed Zamboni, Canadian cream pie, brown icicle, Montreal meat pie, and squatting Eskimo!
What does Canada mean to you?
If from Canada, what is the best thing about Canada?
If not from Canada, have you visited Canada?
To me, Canada means the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, ice hockey, Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky, lacrosse, maple syrup, moose, bears, Chris Hadfield, William Shatner, John Candy, Pamela Anderson, Rush, Bryan Adams, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Alberta’s tar sands, Calgary Stampede, Eskimos and igloos, Parti Québécois, the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Mike Weir, Gilles Villeneuve, Eugenie Bouchard, Hudson’s Bay Company, Saint Lawrence River, and Toronto’s CN Tower. And, Canada is not the US!
I have visited Canada once. I spent a week in Quebec City, which I thought was an amazing un-American-like city. I think the Canadian flag is one of the best flags in the world.

LE TOUR DE FARCE
|

Last Updated:Jun 28, 2022 9:45 am

Le Tour de France is an annual professional road cycling race held in July all over France. The Tour normally is a race of about 3,500 kilometres (over 2,000 miles) spread over three weeks, with a couple of rest days. On average, the winning cyclist pedals the distance, including many mountains, up to 40 kilometres per hour (about 25 miles per hour). About 200 riders start the showcase tour; many do not finish.
The 100th edition of the Tour de France has started. Yesterday, the race started in the island of Corsica off the French mainland. The opening stage was expected to be an exciting race with a bunch sprint finish. A bunch sprint is when many top sprinters race together for the line.
In eager participation I watched the race live on television. After nearly five hours of racing (and, for me, sitting on the sofa), an Orica-GreenEDGE team bus got stuck under the finishing line’s gantry. With ten minutes to go before the race was to end and with the bus still wedged, the race organisers ordered the race to end three kilometres before the finish line. This led to cyclists changing their tactics and probably led to a massive crash, which took out many of the race favourites (including Mark Cavendish and Peter Sagan).
Then, after a few more minutes when the bus became freed, the race organisers reversed their decision. The cyclists were now told that the race was going to now end at the original finish line. The already chaotic race became a farce as the remaining cyclists not caught up in the crash had to change tactics again. What a start to one of the greatest races in the world!
I’m off to Lyon in France in two weeks’ time to take in a couple of stages of the Tour de France. Lyon is said to be the gastronomic capital of France, which puts me off as I’m not a big lover of French cuisine. My favourite cuisine is Indian, Malaysian and Thai.
Is the Tour de France the toughest race in the world?
What other sports are tough?
Have you been to Lyon? If so, is there anything you’d like to recommend for my visit?
What is your favourite cuisine?

THE ART OF SHITTING

Recently, Mikala Dwyer staged a live performance of Goldene Bend’er at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in Melbourne. The show involves six cloaked-and-masked dancers defecating while sitting on transparent glass seats in full view of the audience.
The artist Mikala Dwyer describes defecating as “humanity’s most democratic of act”. She argues that “shit has a great truth to it”: “From royalty to supermodels to politicians and the tiniest newborn baby, we all participate in this necessary biological function”. The artist also joined in to have a shit with the dancers. She found communal shitting as “quite liberating and empowering” and commended the dancers for being “very brave and generous of them that they were willing to put themselves through a bizarre situation like this within the context of art”.
The Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, in receipt of taxpayers’ money from the Australia Council, defended Mikala Dwyer’s show stating that “We are champions for artists” and that the artist “wanted to work with a material that has a truth and universality”. One critic argued that “there's no longer anything original or particularly provocative about bowel movements presented as art” and dismissed the show as “taxpayer-subsidised pooing”.
Would you have gone to see this show?
Is shit art shit or art?
What is art?
Should taxpayers fund art?
Are you comfortable having a shit in front of someone else?
Is scat a turn-on or a turn-off?

HAGGIS
|
Posted:Jun 29, 2013 3:53 am
Last Updated:Jul 5, 2013 10:23 am

According to a 2003 survey, a third of American tourists visiting Scotland think haggis is an animal and nearly a quarter think they can catch the small haggis animal. It is claimed that there are two breeds of haggis: the Lewis haggis found in Scottish islands and the Hebridean haggis found in the Scottish Highlands. The Hebridean haggis has evolved so that its two legs on one side are longer than those on the other side, allowing the haggis to run around steep hills. Here is proof of the haggis!
Haggis is a pudding containing sheep's heart, liver and lung, known as pluck, minced with oatmeal, onion, suet and seasoning. Traditionally haggis was served in the sheep’s stomach, but it is often served in a sausage casing nowadays. Haggis is widely considered to be the national dish of Scotland, mainly as a result of Robert Burns’ 1787 poem, Address to a Haggis. On Burns Night commemorating Robert Burns’ 25 January birthday, haggis is served with ‘neeps and tatties’ – that’s turnips and potatoes – plus a dram of Scotch whisky. The haggis is piped into the room and addressed with a recital of Robert Burns’ poem starting with the lines “Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!” and ending with the lines “But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis”. The haggis is then stabbed with a knife before being eaten.
There is very little evidence, though plenty of folklore, that haggis originated in Scotland. The food historian, Peter Brears, recently claimed that haggis is an English and not a Scottish dish. In his book, Traditional Food in Northumbria, he found a recipe for haggis in the 1390 cooking book, The Forme of Cury. Other people have also claimed that haggis may have been introduced by the Romans or the Vikings.
Over the last few decades, Scots living abroad have had great problems eating a traditional haggis on Burns Night because haggis is banned in many countries, such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US. In 1971, the US Department of Agriculture banned food imports containing sheep lung, which makes up over ten per cent of the traditional recipe. Following the BSE crisis in the late 1980s, many countries placed further restrictions on importing meat, including haggis, from the UK. As a result of these import bans, haggis-smuggling thrived. However, many countries are now relaxing and reviewing the restrictions on importing haggis – traditional haggis is getting back on menus abroad.
Have you ever seen or caught a haggis?
Have you eaten haggis? If so, did you like it?
If not, would you eat haggis?
What is your local food delicacy?
In Nottingham where I live, many things get served in a cob, a bread roll. Before moving here, I always thought a cob was either a male swan or a small . The other peculiarity with Nottingham cuisine involves Indian curry. Indian curry is served mild (eg Korma), medium (Bhuna), hot (Madras) or very hot (Vindaloo). But for some unknown reason, most Indian restaurants in Nottingham serve Madras hotter than Vindaloo curries.

FLUFFERS!

This man has a lot of fluffers!
The Coolidge Effect is a biological theory stating that men are more sexually attracted to new sexual partners than women. Frank Ambrose Beach Jr, an American biologist, first outlined this phenomenon where he observed that males exhibit renewed sexual interest if introduced to new female sexual partners, even after they have refused sex with previous and still available female sexual partners. In 1955, Beach named this phenomenon the Coolidge Effect after Calvin Coolidge who was the US President in the 1920s.
There is an anecdote that when President Coolidge and his wife visited a poultry farm, Mrs Coolidge noticed that one rooster was mating frequently with different hens and asked the guide whether one rooster was sufficient given the many hens. "Yes", the guide said, "the rooster works very hard." She then asked, "Really? The rooster works very hard? Every day?" "Oh, yes," the guide replied, "Dozens of times a day." "Interesting", Mrs Coolidge responded, "Be sure to tell that to the President". Later, the President was told about his wife’s remark. "Same hen every time?", he asked. "Oh, no, a different one each time," the guide answered. The President smiled and said, "Tell that to Mrs Coolidge.”
The Coolidge Effect was first observed in rats and later in human beings. Very recent research supports the Coolidge Effect. In the Archives of Sexual Behaviour journal, psychologists from the Universities of Stirling and Glasgow concluded that “Men found female faces they had already seen less attractive and less sexy”. In their experiment, a group of 83 women and 65 men were repeatedly shown pictures of the same five men and five women to rate their sexual attractiveness. The researchers found that women scored the photos of the men higher the second time round, whereas the men scored the photos of women lower.
If true, this theory suggests that men prefer novelty over familiarity and women prefer familiarity over novelty. The Coolidge Effect may explain why men often have wandering eyes in public. It also possibly explains why porn films employ fluffers to keep male porn stars aroused before their sex scenes. I thought it was the blue pills that did this job!
Have you experienced or observed the Coolidge Effect?
In sex, do you prefer familiarity or novelty?
Do you have or notice a wandering eye?

FRENCH KISSING

Why is the first kiss with someone often the best kiss? For me, it is a moment when a relationship moves from one phase to another more exciting and unknown phase. The second and third kisses are less exciting, even though they are often more intimate and passionate.
My first kiss was in my teens at a village hall party with parents standing around. My best kiss is often the first kiss. My worst kiss is when someone attacks my mouth with their tongue as if they are going to nourish me with pre-masticated food or to administer a tongue-scrub of my mouth. I can go to a restaurant or a dentist for those two experiences!
When was your first romantic or sexual kiss?
Do you find the first kiss to be the best kiss?
What have been your best and worst kisses?
Do you enjoy French kissing?
Does anyone know why it’s called French kissing?
Here is some kissing trivia:
• One of the first written accounts of mouth-to-mouth kissing is contained in the Sanskrit epic poem, Mahabharata, written 3,000 years ago in ancient India.
• In modern India, on-screen kissing was banned by film censors until the 1990s.
• Philematology is the scientific study of kissing.
• Kissing involves 146 muscles in the human body.
• A passionate kiss generally burns up to 2–3 calories per minute.
• In some Muslim societies, a man who kisses or touches a woman who is not his wife or relative may be punished by death.
• Because kissing in public was taboo, Auguste Rodin's famous 1889 marble sculpture, The Kiss, was not displayed in Japan until after the Second World War.
• The Hollywood actress, Mae West, never kissed on-screen.
• Kissing reduces stress.
• In 2009, a top-ranked French tennis player, Richard Gasquet, was suspended from playing tennis after he was tested positive for cocaine; his suspension was lifted when he argued that the traces of cocaine in his body were caused by him French-kissing a cocaine-snorting girl called Pamela in a Miami nightclub.

BUNGA BUNGA PARTIES

Silvio Berlusconi, Italy’s longest serving post-war prime minister, has just been sentenced to seven years in prison. After 26 months and 50 court hearings, the court found him guilty on a series of corruption and charges while he was prime minister. Berlusconi will appeal, meaning that the 76 year-old will serve time in jail as the appeal process is likely to take years.
Silvio Berlusconi hosted many infamous bunga bunga sex parties. These parties were orgies. He paid women to attend the parties and invited many rich, powerful and famous men to attend. In 2009, the Italian police seized photos of one of these parties. One photo showed the then Czech Prime Minister, Mirek Topolánek, naked in an aroused state at one of many Silvio Berlusconi's villas. Topolánek denied the photo was of him, but then later admitted the naked man sunbathing near topless women was himself. He then resigned as the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic. To see how top politicians relax at Berlusconi's bunga bunga parties, just search for SCANDALO BERLUSCONI FOTO CENSURATE!!! on YouTube.
Tony Blair, the UK Prime Minister, regularly accepted Silvio Berlusconi’s hospitality, often staying in Berlusconi’s villas. There is no evidence that Tony Blair did a bit of bunga bunga (yet!).
Would you accept an invitation to an orgy?
Have you been to an orgy? If so, did you enjoy it?
If you haven't been in an orgy, would you go to one if invited?
Did or would you have voted for Silvio Berlusconi or Tony Blair?
Silvio Berlusconi is a very controversial politician, often admired by many men at home and despised elsewhere. Here are ten of his choice views:
• "I am the Jesus Christ of politics. I sacrifice myself for everyone."
• “Mussolini never killed anyone. Mussolini used to send people on vacation in internal exile."
• "I'm getting out to mind my own fucking business, from somewhere else, and so I'm leaving this shitty country, of which I'm sickened."
• "I am, and not only in my own opinion, the best Prime Minister who could be found today. I believe there is no one in history to whom I should feel inferior. Quite the opposite."
• "We should be conscious of the superiority of our civilisation, which consists of a value system that has given people widespread prosperity in those countries that embrace it, and guarantees respect for human rights and religion. This respect certainly does not exist in the Islamic countries."
• "What's his name? Some tanned guy. Ah, Barack Obama! You won't believe it, but the two of them sunbathe together because the wife is also tanned."
• "Italy is now a great country to invest in.... Today we have fewer communists, and those who are still there deny having been one. Another reason to invest in Italy is that we have beautiful secretaries."
• "Of course, their current lodgings are a bit temporary. But they should see it like a weekend of camping." [He said immediately after the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake that left 200 people dead and 17,000 homeless]
• "It's better to be fond of beautiful girls than to be gay."
• "Last night I had a queue outside the door of the bedroom.... There were 11 [women].... I only did eight because I could not do it anymore."

SPORTING RIVALRIES

Posted:Jun 25, 2013 8:36 am

This is not a swamp monster but a British Lion (or, to be precise, Fran Cotton). The British Lions are the rugby union team representing Ireland and the UK, currently on tour in Australia. There is a lot of sporting rivalry between Australia and England. The Australian cricket team are currently in England to play for The Ashes, a cricket series that has been played between the two countries since 1882. The series is named after a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times after Australia had beaten England on an English ground for the first time. The obituary announced: "In Affectionate Remembrance of ENGLISH CRICKET, which died at the Oval on 29th AUGUST, 1882, Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances R.I.P. N.B. – The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia."
One of the bitterest sporting rivalries in the world happens whenever there is a football game between Germany and The Netherlands. In the 2003 book Ajax, The Dutch, The War, Simon Kuper examines the Second World War origins of this rivalry. When playing Germany, Dutch football fans sometimes chant, ‘Give us back our bicycles’, recalling the confiscation of bicycles during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands in 1940. One Dutch footballer, Wam van Hanged, once said: “I didn't give a damn about the score. 1–0 was enough, as long as we could humiliate them. I hate them. They murdered my family. My father, my sister, two of my brothers”. Karl-Heinz Förster, a German footballer, remarked: “To them, beating us is the best thing there is. They hate us so much more than we hate them”.
The rivalry intensified following the 1974 World Cup final when West Germany beat The Netherlands. Another football game in 1980 saw a fight between a Dutch and a German player, plus a Dutch player punching a German player in the eye. The Dutch have had to wait a long time to beat Germany in a competitive football game. In 1988, the Dutch exacted revenge by beating West Germany in a semi-final en route to winning the 1988 European Championship. Immediately after the semi-final, Ronald Koeman pretended to wipe his arse on a German player’s shirt. Back in Amsterdam, the Dutch coach, Rinus Michels, told a cheering crowd: "We won the tournament, but we all know that the semi-final was the real final".
In 1990, Germany and The Netherlands met again in the World Cup finals held in Italy. The Dutch player, Frank Rijkaard, fouled the German forward, Rudi Völler. Rijkaard was booked. Völler complained to the referee and was booked as well. Rijkaard then twisted Völler's ear and stamped on his foot. The referee sent both players off. On walking off the pitch, Rijkaard spat in Völler's hair – see photo inside. Germany went onto to win the match and the World Cup. Ten years later, both players appeared in a butter advert.
What sporting rivalries do you enjoy?
In what sport are there the bitterest rivalries, and what is the bitterest sporting rivalry?
Who are the rivals to your sports teams?
Is sport taken too seriously by sportspersons and sports fans?
Bill Shankly, the former Liverpool football manager, once said: “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.”
My ice hockey team is Nottingham Panthers. Their main rivals are Sheffield Steelers. It is said that it’s the most intense ice hockey rivalry outside America. My football team is Leeds United. The team’s, in their fans’ eyes, are Manchester United and Chelsea. But, because Leeds are not a top team anymore, Manchester United and Chelsea fans just ignore us!

ANKLETS, DENIM AND FRIZZY HAIR

I am a sucker for women wearing anklet chains. I know in some quarters anklets are regarded as tacky but, when I see a woman wearing an anklet chain, my senses just desert me. I’m not a big fan of jewellery generally, but anklets do it for me!
In my teenage years, I had a very erotically charged dream – okay, a wet dream – involving a woman with dark frizzy hair wearing denim. Frizzy hair and denim also do it for me. I have never met a woman with dark frizzy hair wearing denim and an anklet chain!
Do you find anklets sexy?
Do you find denim sexy?
If not anklets or denim, what does it for you?
Do you remember your dreams?
If so, do dreams mean anything to you?
Not only have I not met a denim-and-anklet-wearing-and-frizzy-haired woman, I cannot even find a photo of such a woman on Google. You’d think that after all the material Google harvests from all of us, the "don't be evil" company could muster at least one image of my dream woman! Instead, I will take solace from the words of Wreckless Eric’s 1977 hit single, Whole Wide World, which was listed as one of the best ever punk singles by Mojo magazine:
When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti."
I'd go the whole wide world
Go the whole wide world just to find her
