Me: I love Mark Twain!
Person: Oh I haven't read much of his stuff, why do you love him?
What I Think: Idk man my elementary school was named after Mark Twain and the other two elementary schools in my town were named after a former president and some civil war general or something and I liked my school a lot and thought it was cool that it was named after an author instead, also one of the biggest vacations my family ever went on when I was young was a trip to the city where Mark Twain grew up and I thought that was pretty dope
What I Say: He had a baller mustache
