Cashews are related to poison oak and poison ivy. Cashews aren't nuts but seeds.

So I'll assume that your repeated shock and amazement stems from you not knowing the answer?

It ain't that tough. Isn't trichotillomania a fairly well-known disorder? Extrapolating trich to mean hair pretty much gives you the answer, even if you have no idea about the cymo part of it....

PS The Kracken in Clash of the Titans didn't look like a squid.....

But I've had a bottle of Kraken Dark Rum longer than that...

Two of them will be on ABCFamily this Saturday. Dead Man's Chest will be one of them, but I don't know if the other one is Black Pearl or the third one.

I've resigned myself to never understanding anything related to Hooly. And I think I like it that way. I picked a good time for an extended absence...

I saw the first one and the one with Davy Jones and the one with Calypso (or are they the same one?) and I have another one that my sister loaned to me sitting next to the tv that I haven't watched yet. But I don't recall a Kraken or a squid in any of the ones I've seen.

Then again, I'm sofa king old and it's been a while since I've seen them. They say that the memory is the second thing to go.....
