#4492 – what is "a flying teddy roosevelt", alex?

This was posted over 18 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

for troutman, crazykiltman, and anybody else who likes teddy roosevelt, baseball, and/or internet lolz:

poor teddy roosevelt hasn’t won a race. not once. i’ve heard he’s tried to cheat by zooming in on a golf cart (and was disqualified), but still… he’s never won a race.

enter… THE ZIPLINE!
