While much of his references are technically disputable (or in many cases wrong)
Now you're starting to get it, Cal. ;) By the way, as you are a "well traveled man", I have to ask just what your profession is?
Oh I got it from the onset. But he is not alone is misstating, erring, or misunderstanding things. There are plenty of contributors here who err, and some never own up to it. You cannot learn if you don’t make a mistake. Learning from the mistake shows intelligence and maturity.

My profession was high fashion runway modeling for many years. I’m retired from that now as the pressure to always look my best, the global travel, and frankly the “catty, back-biting attitudes” became too much for me. How about you?

LOL...
Pictures or it never happened is the old mantra from this forum...
You know we will never see those gentlemen, as it would end up birthday and Christmas cards across the nation and around the world...heck ven CChicken might break down and smile or join in rather than being a contrary fellow...
You know Chicken, I was just seeing if you were awake yet on this beautiful day... tomorrow will be cooler and rainy as weather here turns back to 60s for the week and clouds... Clouds make marvelous sunsets here if not socked in too bad...

It is January in AZ and we are historically receiving most of our rain in winter, so let it rain, steady and long... I won't melt. Sunday 2 weeks ago  we enjoyed some heavy wet snowfall mixed with rain all across town...that was nice to see.

america is a great place  , in england an ugly bloke like you would never get that job .
And England is a lovely place. Heck, the only misfortune I’ve ever had there was your Mum not having change for a $0.25 else I might have been your Dad. Oh what might have been…

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Wow, I never knew how stressful the life of a Drag Queen was! My sympathies... It's actually a relief, as I feared your user name had something to do with the Boeing 737, such as attaching door plugs. :o 
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Nah, no airplane mechanics for me. Planes are for flying in, not for working on. However, I do know how to hang a door quite well, thank you very little  8)

Then August 1937 unlikely...96 years old...he may feel that old some days...

Or he was born in August 1973. That would make him 50 years and roughly 4 month to 5 months old...

Cal maybe short for his favorite state in the USA, California. Or maybe short for Calvin, or Califragilisticexpialodoshish...or something like that...

Or… it could be a reference to Calvin Klein and my modeling days… and the number of times I strutted down the runway. Or, nothing to do with that and everything to do with golf. Or, nothing to do with golf  or a date, or a reference to my heritage (Caledonian). Who knows? More importantly, who would even care-
