Theodore Roosevelt. 26th President of the United States, 25th Vice-President of the United States, 33rd Governor of New York, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Colonel in the United States Army, and Commissioner of the New York City Police Department. He was a rancher, cowboy, boxer, conservationist, naturalist, hunter, taxidermist, and the most Badass Son of an Incredibly Classy Lady (because only a suicidal idiot would insult this man's mother) ever to walk the earth. All of the previous statements are 100% true. The ones that follow should be.

UPDATE: I have added a "Contributions" sections at the end this entry to showcase my personal favorite TRFs suggested by other Deviants. Naturally, the original contributor will always be credited.

I got one: Teddy Roosevelt had asthma as a child. Seeing this as a challenge, he beat his asthma to death, ate its heart raw, and ran 100 miles off the energy it gave him.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that's a coincidence, but either way, I don't want to step on Cracked's toes, since they've been singing Teddy's praises on the net for much longer than I have.

Whoops! I must have remembered that subconsiously. My bad.

Hmm... Okay, how about this: Some would call the African elephant the largest land animal in the world, and a beast that could wipe out entire villages when enraged. Teddy Roosevelt called them "Practice."

I like this new one! I'll have to tweak it a bit for length, but it got a chuckle out of me. :XD:
