    War

    He looks like he's serenading someone to "Lady" in that pic "You're the love of my life... You're my Lady..."

    What if? (Historical Events version)

    Lincoln... Well, that's a shaky path. Considering that the house basically controlled all of the facets of reconstruction, there's a pretty good possibility that it still would have failed. I think it was a pretty doomed venture no matter how you look at it. Lincoln may have been all "straighten your asses up in hurr" but the house was the main factor in reconstruction; they ran right over Johnson and might have done the same thing to Lincoln. I mean, the only thing that they really cared about was punishing the South into utter submission, which they kind of did in a really fucked up way. Although Congress was controlled by the Radical Republicans, I think Lincoln might have tried to stiff them up via veto powers, or since things were still under marshall law, he may have just sent an executive order their way and done things like that... I know his plan for reconstruction was kinda like a kiss and make up plan and in no way did he nearly want it to be as harsh as Congress. I think had his plan gone through, a lot of the Jim Crow mess wouldn't have been as bad honestly. I mean racism and inequality would have still existed but, I think some of the reason why it lasted so long was due to the fact that the Radical Republicans were really trying to shove the issue down the throats of the South and thus in some aspects it was more of a retaliation towards that. I dunno... I'm not sure if Kennedy would have escalated the war further nor am I sure he would have won re-election due to the Bay of Pigs disaster, but had the remaining years of his presidency been fruitful and had he overcome the embarassment of the Bay of Pigs, I'm not sure some of his Civil Rights legislation would have been as liberal as Johnson's was. Poor, poor LBJ, he was a great president but Vietnam was his downfall. Now, what if Alexander Hamilton was never killed by Aaron Burr?

    Shitty Scenes in Great Movies

    the graduate--the scene where he's in the scuba diving gear he got for graduation... that scene was much longer than it should have been, otherwise, the rest of the movie is fantastic

    More comes from tonights tapings.....

    That's so incredibly tasteless. ... But, you're right. I've always entertained the notion of a "backstage-parking lot" kind of scene where some rival of his is walking down a hallway on their way to the ring, and he just comes out of nowhere, like from a bathroom and just pounces the shit out of them into a wall. why, when reading this, I'm kinda picturing that one skit from Robot Chicken where the hockey player checks the kid into the urinal?

    Eating at Applebees for the first time in four years.

    4 hours? I can't even get 1/3 of the way out of my state in 4 hrs. Sometimes I wish I lived in some of the smaller states on the east coast for that very reason.

    Favorite women in wrestling

    So let's list our top 10 shall we? I'm basing my list on looks and of course ring presence 1. Beulah--I'm sorry, I just love this girl. She was actually cool as a heel with Raven and then she played the ultimate baby face with Tommy Dreamer. 2. Sunny--Her promo work is probably arguably the best out of any woman in wrestling 3. Sherri Martel--Sheri Martel, enough said 4. Miss Elizabeth--She paved the way for valets in the business 5. Madusa--I mean come on, she took the Women's title and dumped it in the trash, plus she can wrestle too Honorable Mention for sheer hotness: Christy Hemme

    Depends, does FDR still become president after Hoover? If so, then nothing would have changed probably, he was pretty much borderline socialist. Now if socialism and communism had a stronger following with native born Americans instead of just with immigrants during the tail end of the Gilded Age and during the Progressive Era, I think they would have been a 3rd party to reckon with and if they came into power, I don't think the Cold War and anti-communism movement would have held as much weight nor would have lasted as long.

    At sea, the British Navy squashes the rebellion. The French intervention was grossly overstated- their contribution was minimal on the ground, and by the time that they had intervened, the Americans had already won the turning point in the war in the Saratoga campaign. What the French (along with Spanish and Prussian) intervention did was mainly to serve their own interests, in hopes of weakening British power. They didn't officially sign an alliance treaty with the USA until a few years after they had already been providing financial assistance quietly to the colonies. If they refuse, simply put, the colonies still win the war, but at a much higher cost and possibly a longer war since King George III was adamant in refusing to acknowledge the colonies' independence. What about with the aftermath soon thereafter with the French Revolution? Wasn't it France's money problems they incurred and were heightened by their financial involvement with the American Revolution that kinda caused it in the first place? What if the colonies lost the revolution? Would the revolution movements of the early 1800's have even occured?

    Blasts from the Past

    Big League Chew was the shit. We used to think we were hot stuff when we played Little League with a big huge wad of it in our mouth. That and the candy cigarettes that you could by at the concession stands after the game. Another fave of mine...New York Deli potato chips, I remember them by the purple bag. Also along those lines...New York Seltzer waters. My personal vice was the root beer flavored one. big league chew? i haven't seen that around here in ages... i think it's still being made but i haven't seen it around. i was more of a grape person than regular flavor
