2. Teddy Roosevelt was the only sitting President of the United States to kill a panther with a knife.
Teddy > *
Also: Teddy Roosevelt refused to kill a black bear that had been captured specifically for him to shoot, because he thought it was senseless and cruel. Suck on that, Dick Cheney.
Was Teddy Roosevelt on the original list? I would have voted for him over just about anyone. I quote all the time his line to the cowboy he fired that was going to put his brand on a cow that wasn't in his territory. Of course no one would be that honest today but...
I could be wrong, but I remember reading where he punched out guys (well he punched out quite a few of course) for calling him dude, since it was an insult at the time. He'd be swinging left and right today.
Oh wait, the title is YOUR personal final four...
It's amazing how work just kills brain cells. Good thing I'm posting here instead of working.
Maybe I worded the thread title poorly.
I was kinda thinking that this thread would be "how the results of the bracket would have turned out if you had your own way", but if people want to share their own final four that includes those that didn't make the field of 64, that's fine with me.
Elvis, Walken, Jones, and Bill Maher.
I don't know if the wordings wrong, but I do know that I read it wrong.
Either way it's a great question. For sure I'm copying/stealing/plagiarizing Teddy Roosevelt from Swami; that's just too good a nomination/winner to not have in my final four as well.
I'm glad I still have a few hours here at work to think about my other three.
Shouldn't it be like two in the morning there? (In Spain)
Teddy Roosevelt is the father of all American culture. He was physically strong, adventurous, talked exactly zero bullshit, was a great soldier, a great historian, a great liberal, a great environmentalist, and a great outdoorsman. He got shot in the chest by a would-be assassin before a speech, and went on to deliver the speech - the 90 minute speech.
All great American men of adventure, from Audie Murphy to Hunter S. Thompson, owe a debt to Theodore Roosevelt. He was hard fucking core.
All right, I stop talking about Teddy Roosevelt now.
I'm sold, Swami. There's always next year's tournament.
Spain's six hours ahead of Detroit. I think it was around 4 pm when I wrote that. Since then I haven't come up with my other 3 nor have I actually done any work (which I'll most likely be paying for tomorrow).Quote:
