So, I was searching for who knows what the other day and up pops this pic of Jim Thompson.

For those in the know, you'll understand why just this picture made me laugh.

So, let's hear for it Jim and celebrate his life

But Jim Robinson had a sordid past. Even the Foreign Legion had rejected him.

He didn’t want to leave kindergarten at age five, but he had been kicked out to the cruel street. As a bad influence on the others. On the innocent dupes left in his wake to be coddled by the government machine, then squeezed between the government cogs of inhuman despair and agony.

On his first day of 3rd grade Jim Thompson heard rumors of all the female teachers arguing over who would be fortunate enough to have him as a pupil. They were all well aware of his heroics, both on the battle field and in protecting the weaker kids from bullies.

He was assigned to Miss Callahan’s class and achieved straight “A”s throughout the year, having never missed a homework assignment and never scored below 96% on a test. Jim Thompson was motivated and driven like none had seen before.

Jim Thompson's also been rumored to be meddling in politics:

(That guy has a PAC, wouldn't it be hilarious if we started a FReeper campaign to fill his campaign coffers for fun?)

Thank you. I’m quite proud of both of them. The only way they could have turned out better is if they had Jim Thompson for a neighbor.

Jim Thompson and I were in 3rd grade together.

But the b*tch teacher Mrs. Callahan liked him better than me.

That could be epic... just imagine he then goes on to the US Supreme Court, or the newly scrubbed and fumigated White House...

LMAO!

After returning to his home in Fresno, California, Jim's mother insisted he finish the 3rd grade, much to Jim's chagrin, because he had other ideas. That cute little next door neighbor named Betty; aw, yes, sweet, sweet Betty was now on Jim's mind. First things first though, so, with lunch pail in hand, Jim went off to finish 3rd grade.

Jim arrived at the classroom and was scolded for continuously calling out BS. His teacher was livid but could not argue with his logic, she soon gave him his Highschool diploma after 3 weeks. Jim returned home that day and his Mom was elated.
