Bio It was in the spring of 1987 that Mikhail Gorbachev was eating a greasy McDonald's cheeseburger. AFter each bite onions would dribble from his mouth. Sources would later confirm the dribble of the onions was in fact a meticulously planned covert escape mission. (See: Dribble of the Onions Day). The rogue onion brigade shouted as it hit the table, "We will not be condimented on an American bourgeoisie yellow-bellied cheeseburger!" Rumor would have it that these same onions helped to incite the failed military coup that formed (and subsequently failed) to depose the former Soviet Premier. Sources were never able to confim such a story. The onion who had remarked the loudest moved to Minnesota, settled near a beet farm and hosted many communist parties. Lenin enjoyed the punch, especially. If you listen quietly each night when the moon is red, you can still hear this onion sing to his comrades back in the mother land( his namesake), of which all that remains is the name his mother (a purple onion) gave him.
