George Washington - LotusTalk

rsharma · 08-12-2007, 06:28 PM

Here's a question for history buffs...

We all know George Washington served two terms as the first president. Most people also know that he served as the General of the Continental Army during the war for independence for about 7-8 years.

Do you think he was a better president or a better General? Obviously, it's an easy argument that if he were to be a bad General, he probably wouldn't be the first president. But that argument is too simplistic and probably naive. What do you think?

What about Hong Kong Fooey?

Surferjer · 08-12-2007, 07:40 PM

I LOVED Hong Kong Fooey. My favorite cartoon, but was only on one year back in the 70s (76?)

uclacyc · 08-12-2007, 07:42 PM

I know at least one thing that doesn't taste like chicken. Scorpions. They don't taste like anything at all really. Like eating crispy chips with a hint of lemon.

GREAT general. One of the best, ever -- beat the British and their incredible army and navy.

First President -- had nothing to compare it to -- DID A GREAT JOB.

Interesting fact...no one ever painted George Washington the same way twice, so we're still not 100% sure exactly what he looked like.

kestrel74 · 08-13-2007, 10:34 AM

Cool guy.. he used to have a tree service in PA.... I worked there part time... he had wooden teeth, IIRC. Cherry wood......yeah...thats the ticket. We chipped most of it...sold the rest to a guy named ....Chippendale...He was a real pain in the ash.
