Off_White Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Uh, lots of ambitious people are assholes? I know, that's not a new thought. Quote

Â Good on ya, I hate it when people hate a guy until he's dead, and then talk about how great he was. The fuck? People are weird. Quote
ivan Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 don't get me wrong, i've not spent much time mulling my thoughts over on olde-boy - i read a book which layed him out as quite the cock-sucker, and looking into it, didn't find much to dissuade me from the original impression - as a history type, i'm quick to concede the liabilities of impressions like this though - him being french, of course, i'm preconditioning to be pissy Quote
rob Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Didn't he basically have no fingers or toes? That's bound to turn someone into an idiot. I read his book as a kid and found it inspiring, that's for sure. 93! He sure had a long run of it, there's something about a guy that's hard to kill that is admirable at least. Quote
Off_White Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 That first one-star review is a great piece of work. Conquistadors of the Useless trumps Annapurna any day. Quote
