Definition of ALLEGORICAL - of, relating to, or having the characteristics of allegory. Having hidden spiritual meaning that transcends the literal sense of a sacred text.
my answer would be, strawberry? what strawberry??? its an Arorae (shaped like that island in the Gilberts) [:D][8D][:D] See, I'm transcending the literal sense of a succulent body.

There is the use of strawberry and chocolate as an allegorical device in the screenplay
Fresa y chocolate (
http://www.emiliobejel.com/a-difficult-rectification) It represents the constant tension between the heterosexual and homosexual societies within the Cuban society. The story might not have the same classic affect on mankind as say Plato's Allegory of the Cave but the symbolism is very meaningful within the Cuban society.

I don't know about that. I see that picture of Elizabeth Hurley and it just makes me want to erase all those pictures of gladiators and well-oiled Turkish wrestlers I have on my computer.
Plus...where is the chocolate?

Speaking of allegory, they are not holding anything back in the scene.

Even though it might be offensive to French maids, I will post it for the benefit of those with slow servers.
See, now you've got everyone all worked up. It's not good for them at their age.

Yes...yes, I see your point. You are suggesting a possible liability exposure. I'll have a confab with D,C &H.

Hory crap! That photo of Elizabeth is distracting! Let's get back to the war. Here is the ornithologist hired to take care of Generoso, the shot observer for USS

By ra way, I'm sure someone is thinking of posting recent picture of Birdkeeper First Class Bardot.....but if you do....you will be shunned in the Biblical sense. We are talking walking around in the desert for 4 decades...and no soft drinks or beer either. No women either, just a few Bedouins who have not bathed in 3 years. Camels, yes, but that's it. So think twice, amigo.
