Jack Macpherson, 69; La Jolla legend known for 'huge beer orgies'  "...Over beers one night, the duo came up with the idea of forming a fake "destruction company." "It was a goof, a joke, and it just got out of hand," Macpherson told The Times in 1990. Macpherson soon began stenciling Mac Meda Destruction Company on T-shirts with red paint. And Mac Meda bumper stickers with the mushroom cloud logo began appearing on cars and windows all over town. The phony destruction company even had a fake president. Rakestraw was obsessed with Albert, a gorilla at the San Diego Zoo, and would watch him for hours. So Albert became the group's president: Albert Mac Meda, whose name they put in the local phone book. "The police always wanted to find Albert, not realizing it was a gorilla at the San Diego Zoo,"... ..."There'd be 10 or 20 of us who would go out with sledgehammers, axes, and football helmets and wreck an old house. Of course, we asked the original owners first...After we finished with the walls, everyone would climb onto the roof and get the whole house swaying back and forth. I mean, the whole thing would be moving until it caved in with all of us on top of it."... ...A Hawaiian-style "paddle out" in Macpherson's honor will be held at noon Dec. 10 at Windansea..." |
