Sarasota News Leader June 7, 2013 bougepas! is "my girl." Nebougepas! is French for "Don't move!" and she does not; nor does she speak! I actually had to answer the phone myself. I know, it comes across as a bit gauche and rube-like when you are dealing with a famous Hollywood "mover and shaker" like Swifty Lazar, but, hopefully, my royalties will soon pay for elocution lessons for "my girl." Then Mr. Hollywood's "girl" sent me a box of Cuban Montecristo No. 2 cigars (Arnold's favorites!). I sampled several of them and was disappointed not to find a single Lasioderma serricorne, commonly known as Cigar Beetle, in the lot. I concluded that Cuba is a country whose population has exquisite epicurean tastes because the cigar rollers eat these beetles rather than export them with the cigars. Nevertheless, Hollywood protocol demands an exchange of gifts. So I scoured under my Charlie's sheepshead on the dock. File photo A Luna Moth wing. File photo Page 76
