"Ronald Reagan"

One son says that his dad showed signs of Alzheimers during the end of his presidency' Another son refutes the implication. I enjoyed the Reagan presidency, especially after the Carter administration. Our country got back its swagger. With all that said, here's a great quote from the aforementioned ex movie star turned president:

The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination. ' - Ronald Reagan

P.S. And who can forget this one from "Back to the Future!"

"Tell me future boy. Who's the president in 1985?"

"Ronald Reagan!"

"Ronald Reagan??? Who's the vice president? Jerry Lewis?"

Indiana Eatery Pulls Billboards with Cult References

Because I spent most of my life in the food biz, any food biz newsworthy items interest me. To see the offensive billboard just hit the link!

The billboards included the statement, "We're like a cult with better Kool-Aid," over a glass containing a mixed drink, as well as the phrase "To die for!"

n November 1978, more than 900 members of Jim Jones' People's Temple drank cyanide-laced, grape-flavored punch in a mass murder and suicide in the group's compound in Guyana.


P.S. On another note, the two most popular entries on Golden Pond are at the top of my most current post; ergo, "Phi Zappa Krappa" and "77 Sunset Strip."

"Stallion Semen!"

New Zealanders will be serving up glasses of horse semen at the famed Hokitika Wildfoods festival next month, a "delicacy" that racehorse owner Lindsay Kerslake says will have extreme foodies "raring to go"....

"Horses are pure testosterone, you know. They have hardly any cholesterol, so the idea is you knock it back and feel like a stallion yourself," said Mr Kerslake, of Christchurch.

"You'll have as much zizz as a stallion for a week afterwards."

The NZ$10 shots won't be for the faint-hearted.

P.S. The keenest will be able to drink it au naturel, but the shots will also be available in cherry, licorice and banoffee pie flavours.
