original_post:_10/25/2002_______________ This guy wasn't based on anyone, but the clove orange thing is a real tradition we had. You didn't have to bite the clove, but the kissing part was expected. It was an interesting way of getting to know people, for sure. On a reality note, I think it was around here that I had moved into a new apartment, didn't have any strips done ahead of time, and it took three weeks to get my internet connection set up.
