"A fast & funny ride down memory lane. . . . Walt Brasch's inane insights into what held our fancies and titillated our tongues will make you squirm and guffaw! . . . His enquiring mind makes hilarious & bizarre connections, & while you may find yourself nodding in wise agreement, you will also find yourself gagging: "You don't say!". . .The essays are short, well written, with their full quota of absurdity laced with acidic wit, as well as profoundly embarrassing facts. There's something to fit just about every person's tastes. You want to remember it all, the horrible as well as the crass; you want to take a taste of everything so you can mutter: "Were we really like that for eight whole years?"You can gorge yourself by reading straight through or nibble here & there. Either way, you will have consumed thousands of cerebral calories, added inches to your ego, and had some resounding belly laughs."—Rebecca Brown, Rebecca's Reads.
