you mean you haven't had a proper witchcraft trial in 62 years? No wonder English kids have to get drunk and do drugs, seeing as there's no other entertainment.

daisy chain
The elementary meaning of daisy chain is a garland created from the daisy flower, generally as a children's game
A daisy chain refers to sexual relations between three or more people, with each person both performing and receiving oral sex simultaneously.
This is directly out of wikipedia I had to look it up I didn´t know.
Some interesting trivia, I have never successfuly made a daisy chain accorrding to the first defintion. Daisys are tricky.
"So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, whe
n suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her."
then again she might have been refering to chain smokeing of some kind i don´t know. Maybe it was literally makeing daisy chains it´s terrible time consuming adn with just daisys no wire or any darn near imposible.

Wow, I didn't know people didn't know that! hehe it's been around in England for hundreds of years. In the summer when little daisies grow all over the grass, kids at school (and others *points at self*) make slits in the daisy stalks with their fingernails and tie daisies together to form bracelets, anklets, and other things
Good eh? Ahaha.
and its not so obvious as all that it took me years to figger out you had to slit the stalks Id just tie grest knots in them and then wonder why mine always looked wrong. But yeah Daisy chains are cool. My sister makes great daisy chain jewlery, she seems to be constatly covered in flowers in the spring and let me tell you carrying off daisy when your all in gothblack is no mean feat
