I fell victim to one of the classic blunders- do I seriously have to read this?
[You may recognize the guy on your screen as local parkour enthusiast and history nerd Nathan Drake. What he is wearing, however, differs so resolutely from his typical "jeans and a Henley" aesthetic that the broadcast appears to be hosted by a man whose sartorial sensibilities make him look like the quintessential Harvard professor: tweed vest, bow tie and all.
He gives a pleading expression to someone out of frame, who appears to have no mercy. Nate takes a fortifying breath and continues his recitation with approximately zero enthusiasm.]
...the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "never challenge an FBI psychologist to deliver a line with a straight face."
[He looks directly at the camera, then at the figure behind the camera, and mimes a finger slicing across his neck at the figure in question with a mouthed I'm going to kill you.]

no subject
[He deserves this, he really shouldn't have gotten so cocky with someone who has way more degrees than he could ever dream of - quite literally, too, given Nate's academic career ended when he was twelve.]
Bow ties just kind of remind me of used car salesmen. [He says with a grimace, tugging on the aforementioned atrocity.] I mean, I hate ties in general, so.
