Our new fearless leader of the military is an Aggie? eeeewwwww....
and an anonymous poster in a Texas A&M chat site?
New Defense Secretary A Closet Online Football Chatterer .....Turns out that Gates has been posting on the TexAgs forum as “ranger65” over the last four years, tuning in and piping up on all matters Aggie football. Last night he came out of the message board closet.Folks, as I just posted on another thread, it is time for true confessions as I prepare to depart Aggieland. Ranger 65 is Dr. Gates ('65 because that is my college class and Ranger because he's buried in my front yard). I have enjoyed reading you all for the past four and a half years -- well, at least most of you. You are all hard core Aggies, and I have listened and paid more attention to you than you might imagine. Good luck to all of you in the future. Bob Gates
Growing up in Texas, we told Aggie jokes to pass the time. Imagine any joke based upon cultural or ethnic stereotypes (Polish, redneck, etc.), and replace the protagonist with “Aggie”, and you'll know what I mean. Depending upon your tolerance for stupid humor, there are plenty to be found, just a click away.
The first Aggie joke I remember hearing went something like:
Q: why did the Aggie have holes in his forehead?
A: he was learning how to use a fork.
You get the idea.
Our Defense Secretary is an Aggie?
