I've fallen in, and I can't get out!

Nailed it.

Haggis Taquitos!

Don't question the Grand High Culinary Inquisitor. It's what I felt like for dinner, and they were superb, especially with the Frank's Original that I piled on top of them.

There are times when being teetotal is a bluidy inconvenience. Nothing would have gone better with these than a wee dram o' tequila...

A Long-awaited book: Wally Boag, the Clown Prince of Disneyland.

If you're old enough to remember the Golden Horseshoe Revue at Disneyland (and for a brief time in the 70's at Disney World as well,) this book is for you. A chronicle of the life of an amazingly talented entertainer, this book - co-authored by Wally Boag himself and Gene Sands, will delight you.

From the Website:

Wally Boag delighted audiences the world over for six decades. Although most of his fans associate his comic career with “The Golden Horseshoe” at Disneyland, his story really begins much earlier than this wonderful relationship with the Disney organization. This delightful book recounts the saga of a farm boy from Portland Oregon “making it big” in the world of vaudeville as a “hoofer” and a comic rolled into one. His early days were those of the quintessential artist struggling to find his niche in a world of talented artists all competing for the same spot. He, like all successful entertainers, stood out early and he soon found his way onto the “circuit.” He would eventually entertain kings and presidents, American troops at home and abroad, thousands of vaudeville and nightclub patrons on three continents, and millions of Disneyland guests.

The Disney organization appreciated Wally so much that it engaged his talents in a gamut of enterprises ranging from performing on its television shows and in its films, to script writing and show development. In these pages one can follow the adventures of a gifted man and see how he shared his laughs with the world. This is a must read not just for all of those interested in the Disney Legend, but in the path taken by a trail blazer in the world of Vaudeville and one man’s voyage through the labyrinth of the entertainment world of the twentieth century.

My copy's on order. You can get yours here.
