Story Guy (hereafter referred to as "SG") includes certain historical anecdotes in his monologues. Thus far, these anecdotes have obscured far more than they have revealed. For the edification of LRR fans, we present a historical analysis of these statements.

The Rolling Stones song "Satisfaction", which SG claims to have provided the inspiration for (Laundry), was released in August 1965. SG's vision quest trek through the Sahara desert supposedly took place two months before this.

In the same video, SG claims to have served in the Kenyan Air Force during World War II, as did his father and Grandfather. However, Kenya did not become independent of Britain until 1963, and thus it had no air force in WWII.

In Vest, SG says he took a Predatory Mammal Empathy Training course with "good ol' Frankie Roosevelt" whom he recollects had trouble with wolverines. If SG refers to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, this course is unlikely to have occurred after the summer of 1929, when Roosevelt was crippled with poliomyelitis. As Roosevelt was born in January of 1882, this leaves only a limited window of opportunity for FDR and SG to have met and been schooled together.
