Edwin Booth later became an actor of some note in the late 19th century.
“Now in Koo-koo Kola flavor!”
Matter of fact, they won’t sell 0’pinhead’s book on lincoln, either—see Thomas DiLorenzo’s article on that topic!
Some $-makers be bad fer biz-nus, huh!
Semper watching!

LOL, I always miss out.

Here’s a neat bit of history. Lincoln’s son fell onto the railroad tracks into the path of an oncoming train. A hand reached down and pulled him back onto the landing. That hand belonged to Edwin Booth
actually, i'm surprised i didn't receive one of these from any of the youth group members for Christmas. now i'll be looking for one on ebay - but i don't think it would make an appropriate white elephant gift for the youth group gift exchange this Christmas (or would it?)
it hurts, but you see i go to the trouble to capitalize some words . . .
The buyer for the gift shop is pathetic.
Edwin Booth was the top Shakespearean actor of the mid-1800s, while John Wilkes had not inherited their father's talent or had his brother's training.
Quite appropriately. And to parenthesize.
It's a shame they'll be a scarce collectors' item now - you really should have one.
It’s a perfect keepsake for you. The sort of thing Anoreth would collect ...
The book I’ve been flogging says that John Wilkes was considered the handsomest actor of his generation, although Edwin was the one who could really act.
yes, but i plan my posts this way. those stretches to type two keys at once with one hand are annoying. give me a week and i think the other one may be back in partial service. the hand and wrist, not the rest. i just had the pleasure of starting over a little thanks to a visitor at my house who wanted to see what i was reading on fr on the notebook computer in my lap and put her hand, purse, and weight on my heavily bandaged shoulder and leaned over to read.
things popped loose, i yelled, she didn't move and just looked at me as if 'what's your problem'. in her defense, she was rather elderly. in my defense, she was rather large.
they put 'em back in place.
do i write like i'm back on percocet? heavy percocet? hooray for percocet!
Oh, you poor dear!
I like Percocet very, very much. It produces interesting phases of hephalumps and woozles (and forgetting how much various parts hurt) after I’ve had a baby. I have a couple left in the cabinet from January, for an emergency.
Cant wait for the Lee Harvey Oswald model to come out.....
Who wants a Booth bobblehead? I’m saving my money for the Booth chia pet.
LOL! Mrs. Slim has a pair of those. Since I once worked on underground tests I got them to bring a set out from the backroom. There’s a bit of dark humor in the atomic community.
