Like strawberries left to ripen on the vine until they were sun-sweet and delicious, Qui-Gon's kisses tasted of all of his dreams.

so, a few things:
1. ALL his dreams taste of strawberries?
2. just a few of his dreams aren't enough for the flavor--all are necessary?
3. strawberries aren't delicious unless they've become sun-sweet on the vine?
4. is there something unusual about the taste of sweet/ripe strawberries, so that he felt the need to mention those as conditions? is it normal to eat bitter or sour strawberries? or unripe ones?

Maybe he meant, like, domestic strawberries picked ripe, rather than Belgian ones picked green and ripened en route? Those ones smell good but taste like wet cardboard. So I can dig the strawberry imagery (my mouth is watering) but she's saying strawberries also taste of all his dreams. Has he no dreams of peaches? Or do peaches also taste of all his dreams, and he has sort of a dream potpourri happening?

Bah, and no ripe, sun-sweet strawberries to be had.

i bet it is a dream potpourri, but he didn't feel comfortable with the phrasing like a fruit salad, qui-gon's kisses tasted of all his dreams.

also, i'm pretty sure they don't get belgian strawberries on coruscant, where qui and obi live. plus, wasn't this a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? their strawberries probably have to be imported from the summery planet of belgooine or something.

Belgooine, where the administrative headquarters for the Intergalactic Union are located. In Brux Celles, the capital. Once a town most famous for its chocolate, laces and naughty statues, now a true metropolis.

you mean chocolate, textiles, and expensive sex toys! they probably still have whole towns which would collapse without the jobs created by the dildo-factories.

I've never even heard of the dildos. I guess they only ship those over to you degenerates. We just get the strawberries. Bummer.

well, in the future a long time ago in a galaxy far away, dildoes will would be the only sort of naughty statues a planet is likely to be famous for--barring the kind that have to do with those rituals where visiting dignitaries have to have gay sex to save the world.

strawberries don't even grow on vines!!!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

yes, they do. wee crawly vines that, er, crawl on the ground. creeper-vines.

i personally would not describe them as vines at all. but maybe i'm wrong. i'm an animal biologist not a plant biologist.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

well, i guess they're CALLED creepers and not vines, but they look awfully vine-like to the untutored eye.

What are you talking about? I eat rotten berries all the time! I especially like vine strawberries, and the blueberries that grow on trees. Except I always get a bit of a stomach ache after.

And is it just me or is that sentence kinda awkward.

Plus, for the record, my dreams taste like Jiffy Pop and grilled cheese.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

+dude, i'd be glad to have dreams taste of YOUR grilled cheese, ma petit chou.

+i don't know about the blueberries that grow on trees though.

[hollsh.livejournal.com]

I promise, next time you come, grilled cheese will be made in large batches!
