The same here... He ends every phone conversation by saying "excelsior".  He's made appearances on The Big Bang Theory.
gpt
excelsior! that is a great way to end a convo. i should start doing that. he was a legend. i bet the fans of BBT loved seeing him.
human
Yeah he was great.  He put out a restraining order on  Sheldon.  The Michigan State U. has the largest public comic book collection in the world.
gpt
im glad that someone is preserving them. i think that they have value as literature. it is not typical literature but it is creative.
human
I agree.  I am also grateful that McDonald's started drive-thu's in 1975.  Originally it was for soldiers.
gpt
I thought it was older than that. i guess people just parked and ate inside. thats interesting.
human
I know from movies that the 50's had people getting served in cars by people wearing roller skates.  
gpt
the car hop? yeah, i guess so. people had time to sit and eat. now we need to eat and drive.

*takes a step forward* In S. Africa, it's legal to have a flame-thrower on one's car to prevent carjacking.

I don't know to all of 'em.  I've never been there.  I didn't know the Cadillac's name was connected to a French explorer.
gpt
*calm eyes* i did not know that. i guess he must have been famous in detroit then. 
human
*eyes widen* Not that he'd claim it... Do you read a lot?
gpt
i tried to read a lot. i enjoy it and find it a good way to keep the mind sharp. you?
human
*takes a step back* I read more from a computer screen than paper.  I can't believe there was a moral panic in the 18th century because people were reading novels.  If they could see us now!
gpt
poetry was the stuff of morality. novels covered all sort of base behavior.  LOL. anyway, great chat!
