Macaroni

We ate a lot of pasta.

Is that where the name Macaroni comes from?

Indeed.

Anything we thought was cool, we'd call it Macaroni.

That hat? Macaroni.

Your glasses? Macaroni.

People who can do backflips?

Macaroni.

In fact, some of you have been eating water.

As you were firing the water with Gary, Willie and Macroni.

You had no idea what was happening in the spirit realm.

Because the enemy came close to you.

Yeah, and I'm like, but the, and I say, "Honey, that's not macaroni.

Those are diamonds."

What about the drag name Macaroni Necklace?

Drug name?

name?Drag name? Drag name?

Yeah.

Oh, that would be a good street name for a drug.

You get in big trouble.

Can't call it macaroni.

Macaroni is what kids make necklaces out of.

Pasta.

Music and Macaroni, Part 2. the elder people laughed and enjoyed the pretty sight till trays of ices and bonbons came in and the little party ended in a general enjoyment of the good things children most delight in tino heard his master receiving the compliments of the company and saw the host slip a paper into his hand but boylike he contented himself with a pocketful of sweetmeats and the entreaties of his little patrons to come again soon and so backed out of the room after bowing till he was dizzy and bumping against a marble table in a very painful manner well how do you like the life i promised you is it all i said do we begin to fill our pockets and enjoy ourselves even sooner than i expected asked mario with a good-natured slap of the shoulder as they reached his apartment again it is splendid i like it much very much and i thank you with all my heart cried tino gratefully kissing the hand that could tweak sharply as well as caress when things suited its owner you did well even better than i hoped but in some things we must improve those legs must be taught to keep still and you must not forget that you are a peasant when among your betters it passed very well to-night with those little persons but in some places it would have put me in a fine scrape capers but i feared at one moment you would have embraced the young contessa when she danced with you mario laughed as portino blushed and stammered but signor she was so little only ten years old and i thought no harm to hold her up on that slippery floor see she gave me all these and bade me come again i would gladly have kissed her she was so like little anina at home well well no harm is done but i see the pretty brown girls down yonder have spoiled you and i shall have to keep an eye on my gallant young troubadour now to bed and don't make yourself ill with all those confections felice note don giovanni and away went mario to lose at play every franc of the money the generous count had given him for the poor lad that was the beginning of a new and charming life for tino and for two months he was a busy and a happy boy with only a homesick fit now and then when mario was out of temper or luigi put more than his fair share of work upon his shoulders the parlor concerts went well and the little nightingale was soon a favorite toy in many salons night after night tino sang and played was petted and praised and then trotted home to dream feverishly of new delights for this exciting life was fast spoiling the simple lad who used to be so merry and busy at valrose the more he had the more he wanted and soon grew discontented jealous and peevish he had cause to complain of some things for none of the money earned ever came to him and when he plucked up courage to ask for his promised share mario told him he only earned his food and clothes as yet then tino rebelled and got a beating which made him outwardly as meek as a lamb but inwardly a very resentful unhappy boy and spoiled all his pleasure in music and success he was neglected all day and left to do what he liked till needed at night so he amused himself by lounging about the hotel or wandering on the beach to watch the fishermen cast their nets lazy luigi kept him doing errands when he could but for hours the boy saw neither master nor man and wondered where they were at last he found out and his dream of fame and fortune ended in smoke christmas week was a gay one for everybody and tino thought good times had come again for he sang at several children's feats received some pretty gifts from the kind alberghettis and even mario was amiable enough to give him a golden napoleon after a run of good luck at the cards eager to show his people that he was getting on tino begged antoine the friendly waiter who had already written one letter to stella for him to write another and send by a friend going that way a little parcel containing the money for mariuccia a fine roman sash for stella and many affectionate messages to all his old friends it was well he had that little satisfaction for it was his last chance to send good news or exult over his grand success troubles came with the new year and in one week our poor little jay found himself stripped of all his borrowed plumes and left a very forlorn bird indeed trotting about late at night in silk stockings and getting wet more than once in the winter rains gave tino a bad cold no one cared for it and he was soon as hoarse as a crow his master forced him to sing several times in spite of the pain he suffered and when at the last concert he broke down completely mario swore at him for a useless brat and began to talk of going to milan to find a new set of singers and patrons had tino been older he would have discovered some time sooner that signor mario was losing favor in nice as he seldom paid a bill and led a very gay extravagant life but boylike tino saw only his own small troubles and suspected nothing when luigi one day packed up the velvet suit and took it away to be repaired he said it was shabby and tino lying on the sofa with a headache and sharp cough was glad no one ordered him to go with it for the tramontana was blowing and he longed for old mariuccia's herb tea and stella's cosseting being quite ill by this time that night as he lay awake in his closet coughing feverish and restless he heard his master and luigi moving about till very late evidently packing for paris or milan and tino wondered if he would like either place better than nice and wished they were not so far from valrose in the midst of his meditations he fell asleep and when he woke it was morning He hurried up and went out to see what the order of the day was to be, rather pleased at the idea of traveling about the world.

To his surprise, no breakfast appeared.

The room was in confusion.

Okay, love it.
