"It rhymes with crapweasel, feckless.."
Or: "Did'ja'maica mistake?"*
Or: "Some chick! Some neck!"("W.C.")

Lighten up, Dudes! The previous blog was *not* racist! I can think of worse ways to exit this mortal er, coil, than by the limbs of Darryl Hannah(see scene in *Blade Runner where her replicant character almost chokes the life out of that of Harrison Ford), and said thighs from my point of view could just as well be mahogany. But I suspect that an emailed pamphlet titled "The Michelin Tire Guide to the Caribbean" and sent from "The Jamaican Bureau of Tourism" was not genuine because the attached lyrics of Elton John's "Island Girl" don't jibe with those of my memory to wit:
"She's black as coal but you're a crapweasel, feckless
And she wrap herself around you like a well worn necklace..."

Instead of the Googled:
"She's black as coal but she burn like a fire
And she wrap herself around you like a well worn tire"

And wasn't "necklacing" practiced in Haiti and South Africa; not Jamaica? Of course, given the nature of the internet, maybe it really *did* come from Haiti. Wha..? "It's getting hot in here.....so take off all your"......arrrgghhh!(Homer Simpson voice) "It burns! It burns!"
