Well, aram, I will let others take a turn at guessing the answer.

Missed this one...lol!!! :p But had the right answer, no cheating before I saw it!!!lol :p

Rosalyn Carter?

Rosalyn Carter?

If you mean the lady in the very first post, the answer's already been given! ;)

LOL no it was to Aram's pic. And I was just sorta kidding. Unless it's correct of course then I'm not kidding.

We've only had only one publisher president...the orignal Warren G! (Or was Taft a publisher too? I think he was a Bull Mooser who got a military gig. He may have been a publisher as a young man.)

So the lady in that picture is Flossie Harding. I never heard she spanked the paperboys though. One of the paperboys did run for president as a socialist.

Her husband had secret tunnels going into the basement of the whitehouse, so he could sneak in women, play cards and drink without Flossie knowing. But she must have found out or something because she poisioned him with a clam. Thats a popular story anyway, I'm sure it didn't actually happen that way.

Otto,

Is that a rattle snake or a flanker in your avatar?

Congrats.....Otto :p (Do you know SHe was older than her hubby??)

Warren G. Harding and I had the same birthday. I've always been slightly facinated by a Scorpio who's popularly known as the worst president America's ever had.

Yeah, she was older than him wasn't she? She was from some politically connected family, and her dad wouldn't talk to them after they got married. Not cuz of the age gap, but he thought Warren G. was using her for notoriety or something like that.

And Flanker...its an Otto! Short for otocinclus which is a popluar algae eating aquarium fish. Since I had to ditch the gourami, I went with Otto. I love to watch y ottos. They eat and poop, eat and poop, and my tank has been sparkling algae free since I got 'em. Its kinda like a cory cat fish, except they don't eat poop, just algae. And they stick their little sucker mouths to the glass. That's a photoshopped picture of my otto sucking away.

A vegetarian fish?

Wow....... I like it.

I love it when I run into a fellow vegetarian. :D
