I think your name matches this post.

In other news, someone in thequestionclub asked if he was the one who invented cars. El Oh El.

I'll mainly remember him for his apperance on "The Simpsons"....

Gerry: Hi! Pleased to meet you, I just moved in. My name is Gerry
Ford.
Homer: [gasps] Former President Gerald Ford? Put her there! I'm Homer
Simpson!
Gerry: Say, Homer, do you like football?
Homer: Do I ever!
Gerry: Do you like nachos?
Homer: Yes, Mr. Ford.
Gerry: Well, why don't you come over and watch the game, and we'll have
nachos? And then, some beer.
Homer: Ooh!
[they walk across the street]
Gerry, I think you and I are going to get along just --
[they both trip]
Both: D'oh!

Ha!

I'll be more serious when Jimmy Carter passes.
He's the "I wasn't alive when he was in office, but I still think he's cool" president for me....

Wait... He's the last one alive that could even fit that category, right?
(Was born in the Regan Administration, of course.)

*laugh* I vaguely remember that episode or something like it. There are too many memorable Simpsons moments to keep track of in my head apparently.

Ooer, I thought Jimmy Carter already died. Whoops >_>

Wait... He's the last one alive that could even fit that category, right?

Yep!

Nope. Still dropping the diplomatic knowledge on lame-ass international organizations.

And here is the clip.

And, I can't sleep anyway...

President Gerald Ford had visited Palm Springs during his term as Vice President. When his term of office as president expired in 1976, he returned to build a home next to Ambassador Leonard Firestone's house at Thunderbird. The Fords have been very active in all valley events, appearing at groundbreakings, hotel openings, and charitable balls. The president has played in all major golf tournaments. Mrs. Ford brings considerable recognition to the valley through her alcoholic and drug center in Rancho Mirage.

I don't really know too much about him, to be honest. I think most of us here are Reagan/Bush babies, so when I heard he was dead, I was just kind of like "Oh, that's sad. *blink blink*"

to be honest, he didn't really do too too much.

Well, he was only in office for a little over 800 days but he was sort of just thrown into office right after the Nixon resigned due to Watergate and also was in office when the Vietnam war ended so...two major US events is pretty good for a president who wasn't even in a full term.

How about I didn't know the first Lionel (Mike Evans) from The Jeffersons died recently. And I didn't know he co-created/wrote Good Times.

Oh, I heard about Mike Evans the other day! It was some heart condition I think...but I'm not exactly sure.
