A random quote from our archives...
"I don't think the federation has a head; its neck has just grown up and haired over."
A random fact...In the 1760s, macaroni was a slang term for a fashionable English dandy. The Macaroni Club's members were known for having affected manners, and long, curled hair. The song “Yankee Doodle” was invented by the British to insult American colonists. The section where Doodle puts a feather in his cap and calls it macaroni is slap at the ragged bands of American troops.
