The American Presidents

Yeah, and he doesn't get enough credit for it.

I'm getting the impression you're a bit of a Presidential Historian too, SGR.

SGR · 06-07-2022, 09:53 AM

Yeah.

Back in college, besides being known as the guy who always walked around campus with giant headphones on, I was also known as the guy who sat on the dorm steps, smoked cigarettes and read presidential biographies. The Community Advisors were always up my ass about smoking too close to the building,

Wasn't great for my lungs, but I sure did learn a lot.

Before I met my now wife in college, I used to spend plenty of weekends holed up in my dorm, drinking cheap bourbon, and watching WW2 documentaries (believe it or not, that's not how she wanted to spend weekend nights with me). I'm a big fan of history in general, but I tend towards reading American history.

Right, but you get the joke, surely?

My names's not Shirley, so don't ask me to call you.
Unless you meant not to use that comma...
