          TEDDY ROOSEVELT
June 2009 Champion Adventurer, intellectual, author, soldier, cowboy, policeman, historian, America’s youngest president was all of these and more. An avid bibliophile with a photographic memory, Teddy Roosevelt loved to fight in the boxing ring and to hunt big game. Although he shot and killed hundreds of endangered animals, he also provided for greater environmental protection regulations than almost any other president. He was a man of many contradictions, but seemed to live life on a grander scale than is possible for even the most awesome among us. In 1912, While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee, a saloon keeper named John Schrank shot him. Teddy Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly concluded that since he wasn't coughing blood the bullet had not completely penetrated the chest wall to his lung, and so declined suggestions he go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." The man was a total badass whose genius intellect was only matched by the speed of his trigger finger and the force of his right hook.

I'm in awe DorkPower. You now have found time to vote 700 times more than me. I'll probably be a major for the next two months. I think its time you pony up and buy this site :-)
reply
Thanks Ivan. If I was a guy with money to burn, I would. But really, I don't want to be the owner of this dance club, just the guy who owns the floor with his awesome moves.
reply
I think Dwight is what Teddy would have become if he had grown up in the modern world.

ahahaha. word.

Some Fast Facts about Teddy Roosevelt:
If John Hodgman said it, I believe it
reply
could you fix the format of my comment so it lists the fast facts? like..... -blah blah blah (enter) -blah blah blah
reply
Wow! John Hodgman knows a lot about Teddy Roosevelt.
reply
thanks ivan!
reply
And this is the most pertinent fact, Teddy Roosevelt fathered Chuck Norris!
reply
I can't believe Grammie spanked Dwight.. I wonder if it was fair fight?
reply
Clearly Dwight couldn't get to any of his many weapons that are hidden around the office.
reply
The case against Dwight:
1) This is a mainstream, currently popular pop-cultural reference that supports the product of a massive media conglomerate. 2) He's a rip-off of a more amusing character on the better British version of a TV show. 3) You laugh at Dwight because Rainn Wilson is trying to be funny. As opposed to, say, Benny Lava, who is awesome because he isn't trying to be funny. I rest my case: Dwight K. Schrute is not awesome. reply
You are mistaken, and will be deducted 5 Schrute Bucks.
