I’m one of the artists of “When Can I Have a Pony.” I’m so happy that you’ve linked up to the piece in your previous post! It would be great, however, if you could list our/the artists’ names underneath the pony photo whenever you use it on your blog. Thanks! Peace.

Yeah, that sugary stuff was about as insubstantial as a promise or a plank in a presidential convention nomination acceptance speech, but it sure did make for some feel-good moments on blazing summer days! I’m blanking on the stix, maybe as a result of having ingested some?!? Weren’t they still squeezing their lunches out of toothpaste tubes deep into the Apollo program?

I don’t know, Indyanna–Tang might have been competition, but I think it was short lived. I drank a LOT of kool-aid (the sugary kind, not the political kind) during my childhood in the 1970s, post-moon shot. In terms of Cold War kid food, I remember Space Food Sticks vaguely, and the sense that they had a better name than flavor.

I also like that Kool-Aid guy attitude. Oh Yeaahh!

The lower graphic, meanwhile, for the second time this summer is making me long for some of that good old Cold War-era Kool-Aid, in one of those Grandma’s House-style round glass pitchers with the sweat beads on the outside. I think sales of that stuff started to slide off when the legendary “The Astronauts” chose Tang as their official space-side breakfast drink. One could wish otherwise.

Ha!

Too bad about the universal health care, though.

Dear Barn,

Would you please get Hillary to come by and clean all the crap out of the barn? Then make her leave, of course, and maybe I will consider coming back. Oh, have her get the hay out of the barn, too, ‘kay? I’m on this all-arucola diet, and I don’t want to mess up my metabolism.

Universal healthcare? What are you, nuts???! You think I’m a freakin’ socialist or something? Guess you weren’t listening to me during the primaries, were you?

Yours sincerely,
The Pony
