i am kind of shocked, I thought you would be good for 40+

oh BTW, do you have a link to the article you wrote that is in the magazine this month?

i am not sure if everyone on the board knows that we have another published writer on the board.

Eric B.... damn out of time

[Friday]

I got 25 and I am appalled.

My IQ is 139 for christ's sake!

I am going to kill myself now.

[weekapaugjz]

37. i missed the reconstructionists, which i always forget cause they didn't do too much, van buren, harding, pierce, and buchannen. i thought i was going to get at least 40. im not gonna make a very good history teacher...:glurps:

[DolaMight]

I got 19 and every president since 1933. If you did any less than that you did worse than a foreigner and can consider yourself an example of a failing school system.

that's pretty good, I think I can name three Canadian prime ministers

That's about the same ratio then. We've had about 8, they never leave office.

We live on US TV and movies like everywhere else. I got all the ones that did something interesting enough to be on the history channel and one that got stuck in a bathtub thanks to Ron. Our history books involve memorizing Quebec instead.

Presidents: Well, F_S Doesn't Like To Brag EVER ***Cough All 43 With 4:49 Left***.

This Is, However, An F_S Speciality, As One Of His Teachers Made Us Learn Them All In Order. Old-School Drill-It-In-Their-Head-Teaching.

F_S Won't Even Do The States, As He Can Do Them In His Sleep In Geographic Order From Maine To Hawaii, Thanks To His 5th Grade Teacher!

Naw, It Is A Testament To Fat's Old-School Teachers, Dear Night-Stalker.

Did You Change Braggart To Bragger? In The Time Fat Wrote His Post, Your Quote Changed!

[Fezticle98]

40/43. States would be too easy.

F_S, that's pretty impressive, especially since Hawaii and Alaska weren't states when you were in 5th grade. But what do you know about Full House and Seinfeld?

[epo]

All 43...but with only 3:49 left. Stupid Rutherford B. Hayes and his non-offensive ass took forever to remember. Oh well...at least he tried to clean up after the awful Grant administration.

[Gvac]

Jesus Christ!

I forgot Nebraska!

I started running through professional sports teams but never made it to college teams.

Sorry, 'Huskers.

Fuck Hayes! He was a corrupt prick.

Ok, I'm over it now.

[lleeder]

I got all of them but failed anyway cause I had them all written on the bottom of my sneakers and the teacher saw when I put my feet up on the desk.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Idaho and Colorado were the ones i missed

Colorado, whats wrong with me I remember the Dakotas but not Colorado

Touche', Douchebag!

Same here. I only got 29. I was watching TV though, so I have an excuse for my brain not to be working right.

[pennington]

39. We need more of those guys from the 1800's on money.

It's even harder to believe because it means not only did they not know who the current president is, but they didn't know about the previous President Bush either.

[LiddyRules]

40 out of 43. I forgot Harding, Pierce and Buchanan.

Never has a Simpsons song come in so handy.

We are the mediocre Presidents
You won't find our faces on dollars or on cents
There's Taylor, there's Tyler, there's Filmore and theres Hayes
There's William Henry Harrison
I died in 30 days!!
We are the adequate, forgettable, occasionally regrettable
Caretaker Presidents of the U...S....A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Maybe they choose to block them out..

Maybe so, history will treat 41 much better than he got when he was in office, it's already happening now.

Why do I have an overwhelming feeling that I'm living in Rome?

Your not the 1st person i have heard that from.. And the comparisons are pretty interesting..

[epo]

Your not the 1st person i have heard that from.. And the comparisons are pretty interesting..

Everytime I think of it I simply get depressed.

The real question is how do we avoid it? I shudder to think of our society in 30 years!

43/43.
