Heh, I remember Nixon getting on the helicoptor when he resigned as President. I knew it was related to something called "Watergate" that was bad. I recall I figured it was a defective dam, and wasn't sure what the president had to do with it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My mother makes a dessert called "Watergate Salad" (I'm pretty sure the name predates the scandal, but people are strange sometimes) which is what I always think of (to the point of I even remember the taste) whenever Watergate is mentioned. Pistachio pudding with cool whip, marshmallows, pineapples and walnuts. Yum.

They're not listed in the recipe, but it's a traditional summer BBQ food, eaten outside, so sometimes it happens.

Punishingly Intricate
I remember Nixon getting on the helicoptor when he resigned as President.
That's my first news event memory.
And I think Watergate salad is so named because it was on the menu at the Watergate Hotel.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Similar to the Waldorf salad?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I remember the Watergate trial. It was confusing, and I think it may have interferred with broadcasts of Wonderdog, so Nixon was in my bad books from the age of 4 on.
I started using Calli[grafiti] online when I started putting porny stories up. It's not that I worried about my folks finding them. I didn't even really worry about getting fired. I mostly pictured my then Editor-in-Chief accidently reading my slash and blushing himself to death. Or killing himself with a fork over my comma splices. Either way, badness.
