Someone posted this a while ago on gamefaqs.com:
---- Gogo is not Daryl, Emperor Gestahl. Gogo is none other than the former Presidential candidate, Adlai Stevenson. Sound crazy? I didn't believe it at first, but here's the proof. Please note that the following was written by former FFO member Claudius Aquila. Prepare to be blown away. I have tried, over the months, to convince you people to stop arguing over who gogo is accept the fact that he is Adlai Stevenson, former governor of Illinois and failed Democratic presidential candidate in 1952 and 1956. Here is ALL the proof, and if you need more, you're sick. Quote #1 I am always amazed by the resistance offered to progress, even the most inocous progress. Imagine, if you will, jumping from one rickety bridge to another, with blind men running back and forth trying to push you off, and you will have some idea what legislating progress is like. The good news is that if you're pushed off, you can always climb back up and try again. - from his book ''What I Think'' Quote #2 I suppose I could wear a hat, but them my teeth would fall out to spite me. I could get false ones, but doubtless then I would get fat just to prove my teeth work. The easiest course is to drape my whole body in robes and shawls and hope no one recognizes my eyes. - Commenting about his baldness to an NBC reporter in 1952. Quote #3 President Eisenhower continues to amaze me. He appears to be an ungainly and graceless man, but when [senator Robert] Taft makes a move, no matter how ridiculous, Eisenhower copies it with the skill of [French mime] Marcel Merceau. I haven't achieved such levels of mimicry with my own party, but I'm working on it. - 1952 interview Quote #4 The legislature is a frightening thing. To this day the state capitol building seems to me a beast ready to swallow me up; the very walls and cielings seem to crush you as you walk through it. - from his book ''Friends and Enemies'' Quote #5 Today we are plunged into a battle that is familliar to us. the enemies and the problems are the same. But the terrain is different. The world around us has changed and shifted so much we no longer recognize it. - Giving a speech at Charlottesville, 1960 Experience Egg Read the quote in my sig. Stevenson's ex-wife once wrote a book about him called The Egghead and I. In 1952, one of his campaign slogans was "Stevenson - The Experienced Candidate." When you first meet Gogo, he says "I have been idle for too long." Possibly reffering to the fact that Stevenson had been dead for 30 years when FF6 came out. A number of years ago a bill was passed regarding the transfer of funds among government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) laboratories. What was the name of this bill? The STEVENSON-Wydler Act, of course. --- This is too coincidental, that is assuming the quotes are all correct. But if they are... whoa. Discuss. -------------------- Lou: There's a couple of guys fighting down at the aquarium, Chief. Wiggum: Do they still sell those frozen bananas? Lou: I think so. Wiggum: Let's roll. |

Might as well give the source too; those quotes were originally given to us by Otik2, January 25, 2001 (I have the original post, you want the time, I got that too). Â As to their accuracy, no one has checked.
But it doesn't matter in the end, Gogo is Gogo, there is nothing to say otherwise. Â Just laugh it up and move along.  EDIT: Just noticed the alternate source you gave... well, guess it doesn't matter unless he predates Otik2's post, then I'll have to jot it down... eh. Oh, yeah, and everything past the five quotes is more recent than the original, so obviously someone's been trying to expand the joke. Cool in my book, so long as its laughable.

Gogo is Gogo, the Mimic Master and ninja warrior. The best character in the game and is NOT ADLAI STEVENSON FOR GOD SAKES!!

It's like another one of those "Super Mario USA" type bashes at the Americans. Haha.

Haha, imagine it was real? That would be amazing. Yes yes, Gogo is Gogo, he's not Daryl, Baram, Gestahl, General Leo, or whatever people have assumed over the years.

WOW!
And I always thought Gogo came through a dimension gate from FF5 to FF6... BUT! I cannot deny this evidence. *bows to Adlai "Gogo" Stevenson -------------------- "I fell off the mountain of words at around the 10,000ft mark.

I've read that so many times now. It's still kinda funny though. It kinda DOES make sense. 
EDIT: No it didn't. |
