McDonald's was the lone exception. <BR/><BR/>Knowing now that either of them are the equivalent of battery acid in the stomach, I'm lucky to even be alive. <BR/><BR/>kb<BR/><BR/>ps: You'll be happy to know that "Nate" has officially been added to the running for first & middle boy names.

Here, ketchup represents democracy, which represents freedom. Mayo represents oppression, which represents communism or a dictator not willing to toe the American line.<BR/><BR/>Mixing the two together (with the pickle relish thrown in for texture) is a subversive act. It shows that neither side can claim victory as long as the other survives. (This is also a lesson the young Harry Potter must learn.) <BR/><BR/>Originally meant not as food but as something to throw at politicians who had fallen out of favor with the public, 1,000 Island was only deemed edible when the Great Depression made it necessary to eat anything not capable of running faster than people. FDR, in many of his beloved fireside chats, called the people of the nation to "eat what has not been eaten, drink what has never been drunk." Mayonnaise was therefore ushered in under the guise of a fancy dressing as a way to supplement one's meager diet.Kid Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475696121551202158noreply@blogger.com
