My Swiss-born, French-speaking since childhood vice principal was once of the chaperones on that trip and told the waiter off, then got all of us to “help” him write a note to the manager (snuck in a little grammar and usage lesson for us). That made it better.
But yeah, prickly little bee legs on your tongue when you’re expecting ice cream is just ick. I’m just glad I resisted chewing.

You reminded me of 2 things:
- my first grasshopper in the mouth while riding my bicycle as a kid, and 2) that time I unwittingly took a potty break onto a beehive in a piece of wild and overgrown Florida.

I couldn’t resist:
To clarify, Hooty created a thread to basically complain that Hanson once sang something against baldness or bald people.

Wait, that’s what Mmmbop was about?
Those guys have got to learn how to enunciate; I never thought of that song as having any intelligible lyrics to speak of.

I don’t even recall having heard it, although I must have heard at least a bit of it somewhere, but it’s got this lyric: “And when you get old and start losing your hair / Can you tell me who will still care.”
Strikes me as more of a Beatles’ reference than anything that reflects a genuine attitude to baldness, but of course, that’s probably just my cultural blinders.

Oh, I definitely remember hearing it.
I was in high school when it came out.
Hanson were the teenage heartthrobs at the time.
My high school cafeteria had a jukebox.
Suffice it to say, there were certain songs that played that gave me the urge to smash the jukebox, and this was near the top of the list.

Never cared enough to seek it out. I did once encounter “Where’s the Love” and thought it was fairly decent, oddly enough.

The best song about baldies - Bald Head by the late, great Professor Longhair.

Yeah, but has Professor Longhair been balled a long long time?

Yep, that’s the one. Roy Byrd, better known as Professor Longhair 
“Byrd, Roy and his Blues Jumpers” just doesn’t have the same ring. Silly Youtube.
