Buccula is Dracula �s 5th cousin from Bavaria. She is the little known vampire of the Black Forest. In fact, Buccula left Bavaria in 1897 and has been living in New York ever since under various names. The most recent being Lady Gaga! Tongue

Zora LOL!
But the Black Forest in Baden Wurtemberg - not Bavaria Wink

I think that Buccula sounds almost like the German word "Rucola" which is a type of salad leaves which I like very much. In English that is called "rocket" apparently which would explain how Zora �s Buccula got to New York...

LOL - Sorry about that, Meitz... *whispers* - you see Buccula is quite vain and pretentious... and since Bavaria sounded much more posh than Baden Wurtemberg - She just decided to tell people that. Blame her for my ignorance! LOL (Btw, nice to see you around again.)

BUCCULA
This word sounds like a kind of swinging music, but then again brings Spring gaudy colours to my sight. Or perhaps some kind of cucumber for the news...
To sum up, BUCCULA calls lots of senses to the meeting, even though they are free to come or miss it.
