8. Still...eeewwww!
Having a thing for a presidential assassin? Um, GROSS! That's just, so, anarchistic.

7. "Yes Mrs. Lincoln but how did you like the play?"
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 09:53 PM by underpants
NOt an actual quote just an actual one-line joke.

"Your name is mud" comes from Dr. Mudd setting Booth's leg and being hung for it.

There is a picture (can't find it) of Booth and several of his co-conspirators at Lincoln's inauguration a week or 9 days before the assassination.

Booth was supposedly one of the most handsome men in America.....so your teen age lust for an assassination from two centuries ago is....uh...not unfounded.....but a bit strange.

:insert smilie that pays respect to a dead president but implying that you were joking....there at the end part:

11. Ooh, underpants! Your history is off. Way off!
"Your name is mud" predates the Lincoln assassination by several centuries.

Dr. Samuel Mudd was imprisoned for treating Booth, but was pardoned after his role in treating prisoners and guards during a plague of yellow-fever. He died of natural causes in the 1880's.

12. Damn but the ghosts of the confederacy did advise Hitler, right?
I could have sworn I saw a documentary-esque show about that on the History Channel.....nightly.

I seem to be the victim of oral history and out right Yankee lies forced upon the rebel south.

20. I still have a crush on Manson Girl Ruth Ann Morehouse AKA Ouisch...
or at least a crush on how she looked back in the day. A very sexy hippiechick.
I also used to have a crush on Leslie Van Houten AKA Lulu back in the day, but I saw a jailhouse interview with her a few years ago and I had the exact same reaction as Manson when he viewed the videotape- "But she got old!"
Yeah, I know that's creepy.
