How would you choose to spend a day with TulaneLSU?

Mates,

It is no secret that I regard TulaneLSU as the greatest poster in the history of this forum. It has been a very enjoyable and rewarding experience indeed to see his esteem grow dramatically in the course of the past few years. I was always saddened that many of his best efforts were heavily downvoted and openly ridiculed. For I always loved and cherished his efforts to enlighten the masses. In those days, he was truly a man before his time. But unlike so many geniuses who do not live long enough to see their brilliance widely recognized (Poe, Van Gogh, Tesla, etc.), TulaneLSU has certainly prospered and gained acclaim rapidly. This provides me a great deal of comfort and joy, as I imagine it does him.

A thought exercise I have been engaging in over the past months goes like this: If I were so favoured by Providence, how would I most like to spend a day with this talent? I've daydreamed about personalized absinthe tours (with he obstaining, of course and opting to provide history and context, but not actual indulgence), architecture tours, cemetery tours, etc. All would be great and right in his wheelhouse.

However, what I have settled on as my top wish would be this: To spend a day with TulaneLSU in the historic American city of Quincy, Massachusetts walking in the footsteps of the family John Adams. We would start out by watching a short documentary film on the lives of John and Abigail Adams, followed by a shorter film of John Quincy Adams. We would then proceed to the touring of their lovely home in Quincy. We'd stroll through the gardens, share our favourite stories of the Adams family while in line for the beautiful library that was first John's and then John Quincy's most cherished place (maintained to this day with pride and care). We'd lunch at a charming cafe in town, recharge with an iced coffee or cappuccino, and then march to the historic First Parish Church, where we'd light candles, pray, and contemplate. Finally, we'd venture to the crypt and burial place of two American Presidents and first ladies.

Even in this fantasy, the mercurial TulaneLSU would decline my invitation to oysters and beer later that evening upon our return to Boston. I would be disappointed, but would sup alone on the cold, salty treats, lift a pint in appreciation of my fortune, and smile about an unforgettable day with my favourite poster and a true TigerDroppings legend.
