| #8 I know a trans vendor whose cry is So sad that I buy his papayas: "For what more could one wish Than this womanish dish?" Though he sings it too low, Blue and mournful and slow, Like he don't even know where the sky is. |

| #6 If land ever comes out of the stratosphere and I can find some, one thing I want to do is see if I can help with the chestnut recovery efforts. And plant paw-paws, not because they're endangered, but because I want to be able to say "down yonder in the paw-paw patch". |

| #5 Nothing like a German Weihnachtsmarket with some roasted chestnuts and some Glühwein...and maybe some Lebkuchen. |

| #4 We had one in our backyard, the smell when they bloom would turn anyone off to their “fruit” |

| #1 Well we did every winter in NY Nick an x in the flat side and pop them in the oven. Delicious There are chestnut blight resistant strains of the American chestnut coming along too. |
