Flies On The Butter

The last weekend Herb was taken to Bremen on some sad duty. So he was in for a sentimental journey and he took this pictures for you GGGee. See that we even found some memorabilia of an old and long gone friend.



But now I want you GGGee to power on your CD and let this old song fill the air and take you back. Back to the past were we all 3 were united in Bremen.
Kisses Herb the not so nut nuts.



Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist, and flies on the butter
Mama baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
Heard her holler from the kitchen which one of you youngin's wants to lick the spoon?
Yellow jackets on the watermelon, honeysuckle in the air
Daddy turning on the sprinkler, us kids running through it in our underwear
Old dog napping on the front porch, his ear just a-twitching
Fell asleep on Granddaddy's lap to the sound of his pocket watch ticking

Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again

Me and my best friend Jenny set up a back yard camp
Stole one of Mama's Mason jars, poked holes in the lid and made a fire fly lamp
Me and Billy Monroe sneaking down by the river
And I'm still haunted by the taste kiss I was too scared to give him

Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again

There's a black-top road, a faded yellow center line
It can take you back to the place, but it can't take you back in time
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again

Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist, and flies on the butter

Hunting in Nuremberg

Commissioner Herb has returned to Germany an he is looking for the red ribbon in Nuremberg. A city in which GGGee has once be very happy.



Well luckily for Herb the famous christkindlesmarkt hasn't started yet. Could you imagine how a walnut must feel it self if he sees all the roasted nuts and even be in personal danger of being swallowed up by a drunken visitor. So a perfect time for a quick investigation.



Herb even asked Bastet the cat goddess from old Egypt but didn't found any trace.



He looked under every bridge he crossed. The red ribbon couldn't be found anywhere near.



But Herb finally comes to the conclusion that Nuremberg was worth the try, he got inspired for the future. So another trip to Nuremberg would do him and others - T.so and GGGee for example - very good.

That ain't nuts brother

The ayatollahs were unfriendly

Well back in Munich, commissioner Herb did a desperate thing, because desperate situations sometimes asks for desperate solutions. He went to the consul of Iran and tried to ask him, if he had seen the red ribbon, maybe have stolen it and is wearing it now under the burqa while staying at home. But all Herb did was triggering the security alert and some unfriendly nasty looking devilish guys came out. They didn't answer his questions.

Shalom brothers, we are just looking for a red ribbon. so these guys were lunatics but didn't know love or anything else. So Herb left the place. That was anything but nuts.

York'scher Pudding

Commissioner Herb remembered that there was a smell of York'scher pudding at the crime scene. Maybe this will tell him something. So he did checked in to Manchester and hitchhiked to York, the old roman town in North England. He traveled to the minister, a place of long history of searching and founding, a place with a lot of myths to be unfold.



Lighting two candles, cause old family habits will never die. He said a little prayer and is falling into investigation trance. Will the smoke of the candle tell him something or is the solution to it all deep in his heart. Is the heart of a nut(s) the solution to this case?? Herb is thinking deep and deeper.

He took some deep looks but didn't find the slightest clue.




In the ramada hotel he did find the first Christmas tree of 2009. It was white but no red ribbon to be seen. Herb is thinking of next Christmas, where would he be? What will be then? time will tell.



But to be sure to have a joyfully and nutty Christmas herb did sent a letter to Santa Clause with his wishes.



York did not help to solve the problem so commissioner herb entered another plane and keeps the hunt for the red ribbon and the happy end going on. And believe me GGGee that ain't nuts at all.

The french connection

Commissioner Herb from the WIA found a new trail. One that may leads him to the so long missed red ribbon. One possibility could be that a romantic lunatic just kidnapped the red ribbon and took it away. Away from GGGee and so far as he possible could.



So if this is the case, than what would be more logical than try to find some evidence for this cruel deeds at the airport nearby. You do see Commissioner Herb following the smallest hint. Rumor has it, the city for lovers and maybe desperate lovers is Paris.



So here we go. Herb is taking a close look at the Hotel Lutetia in Paris. A hotel with quite an interesting history. Celebrities are staying here, maybe one of these is the love lunatic kidnapper?

Watch as Commissioner Herb is investigating every detail in this house. "Hey yo kidnapper, watch out cause Herb is in da House"



The next place to have a long and closer look is the metro in Paris. How many suspicious lover boys or girls have entered this station and trying to hide a broken heart. "Red ribbon are you there??"


The opera, ah seems a good advice, maybe the phantom of the opera did this cruel deed. If we can find it here, that would solve the case at once. But the Phantom was not in the opera and the red ribbon wasn't either.



Another metro another suspect. Watch the Lady looking at us, maybe she did know something. No she didn't know a thing, she just thinks that is nuts to have a nut being commissioner.

Well Paris was not as hot a trail, as Herb have hoped, but he will go hunt the kidnapper down.

Kisses to GGGee from Herb from Paris and that's not nuts!

the rat pack is back in town

T.so had an invitation to the premiere show of the rat pack in Munich. The show is now for the third time in Munich and T.so and GGGee were there some years ago. So it was a trip back into his own history



It was also a trip to watch some celebs. You can see Karolin Reiber and Despina Pajanou. So some celebs we take pictures of to show you GGGee.




The show was great, even for the second time, the music fantastic. It was the music of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. As promised we both sang New York, New York for GGGee and that ain't nuts at all!



Kisses from the black tied herb
