Could biden not spell potato when he was VP?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a reference to an incident with Dan Quayle, who was Bush Sr's VP.

Quayle was at an elementary school and tried to correct a child spelling potato by instead spelling it potatoe.

Dan Quayle's tweets would have been amazing. For the younglings around here who haven't seen his quotes.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

There's a reason he was the lowest rank on the Civ 4 scoring table.

Dan Quayle is in the Civ games? Lmao

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

He's the lowest rank you can get on the end-game score.

Not only 4, he was there since original CIV 1
