Yet another quaint curio culled from Pizzazz, this time from the puzzle pages of the December 1977 issue:

Sweet Christmas in July! I guess it truly is the season for giving...deeply...of oneself. Hopefully Mr. Cage was enough of a "hero for hire" to reciprocate in kind.

(The fact that this ran during the sleazy middle of the Flynt Era makes it difficult for me to believe that it was just another instance of comic double un-entendre. As one of my college literature professors was fond of saying, "All description is necessarily selective.")

Goldfrapp - Hairy Trees (from Black Cherry, 2003) - After five years and countless spins, the bloom has yet to fade from this dark rose of seductive electronica.
