RIP Russell Casse. 17 years ago he died for us and saved the world.
True story:
Back when I lived in Pittsburgh, I knew a guy who went to Stanford for one year but lost his scholarship and transferred to Pitt. He told me the tale of his freshman year, and Ronald Reagan was visiting Stanford to commission some new wing or something. So the story goes like this: He and his two friends decide to puke red, white, and blue in front of Ronald Reagan on cue.
They drank a few beers and tried to figure out how to puke colors on demand. Mind you these were Stanford freshman, practically the brightest minds of their generation.
They decided to eat oatmeal, drink food coloring in mass amounts, and then take ipicac. They did all of the above about an hour before Reagan was expected to make a public appearance at Stanford. The guy I knew ate a bowl of oatmeal, downed a lot of the color blue in food coloring form, and a good glug of ipicac.
They stood. Nothing. Reagan finished his ceremony.
Nothing for another hour.
Then they had the most unpleasant day of their lives.
God Bless America, where the smartest guy in Pittsburgh is still a dumbass.
My kids made an American flag out of fruit and squirty cream. Is it offensive if they ate it? Does it matter that they are British?
