Pause Ponder and Pity Poor Ronald


Ronald has definitely fallen upon tough times. They won't even serve him at his own drive-thru. Sadly, this picture demonstrates how low he's fallen. If you look closely you'll see he's put the cart before the horse meat.

What did you guys think this week? Well, I'm glad you asked...



Golden Arches? More like Fallen Arches.

Due to a recent lack of sales revenue, Ronald took a second job as assistant to the Hamburglar.

Next up was the auto-biographical I Am Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame. This was somewhat of a scattered affair but an interesting read nonetheless. Wilson - or his ghostwriter - however is no Hemingway.

Then it was on to one of my favourite authors, Ian Rankin and his latest tale of now retired Inspector John Rebus, Rather Be The Devil. I never tire of these stories and this is the 21st in …
