Hated by wife and country!

Happy Presidents Day! I bet many of you enjoyed a nice day at home while I was at work, lucky ducks.

My love for presidents has been well documented on the internets. But I wanted to take a little bit of your time to honor who I consider to be a hottest president.

Franklin Pierce, your finally coiffed hair gets me every time. Mr. Pierce your combination of angst, far off look and sad smirk makes you loveable; I just want to cuddle the pain out of you. Franklin Pierce you are like that artsy loaner kid in high school everyone has a crush on because he is just SO DIFFERENT. Then you go to college and realize that every high school had that kid and your hot artsy boy is just one in a million.

(Hey mom and dad look who is putting her history BA to use, was it worth every penny?!? My thoughts on American history are now published on a self run blog on the internet, that can totally go on my resume. Give me some time and I will make it sound like a fancy academic employable skill.)

I wish I could quit you,
Eddie

Abie Baby

I have a soft spot in my heart for Abe Lincoln. I would let the large beast of a man emancipate me any day. In addition to his historical importance and -sexy stove pipe hat- I associate Abe Lincoln with the brilliant but canceled TV show Clone High. If you are one of 15 people who are as obsessed with this drawn gem I love you. If you have no clue what I am talking about please leave…just kidding, I Love the Chris^4 who read this blog.

Today is Mr. Lincoln’s 199th birthday. I hope he is in heaven drinking with the big J while showing off tiny 16th president.

As you all know by now I love games (aside from Dungons and Dragons. We here at 2birds1blog do not support Dungeons and Dragons.) One of my best friends from high school created a game called “Things to do with Abe Lincoln.” The game is simple; what would you do with Abe Lincoln if he were alive today?

Over the years some awesome ideas have been suggested.

  • Take Abe to the real Underground Railroad i.e. the subway. Try and convince Abe everyone in this underground world is fleeing slavery.
  • Take Abe to an historical figure impersonator convention.
  • Get Abe drunk and take him to a gay bar, introduce Abe to his people. (I am of the camp that thinks guessing historical figures sexuality is random and pointless. Does it really make a difference if he liked cock… no it does not. On the other hand Abe’s possibly homosexy nature would explain his fugly wife. If you have seen the first lady exhibit at American History Smithsonian you know the Mary Todd was a brick house.)
  • Take Abe to Fords Theater and watch the PTSD begin!
  • Show Mr. Lincoln a penny and a five dollar bill, watch him freak out over his reproduced image. If you want to be cruel show him Benjamin Franklin’s billz. B. Frank was never president yet he trumps old Abe.
  • Introduce Abe to a few members of the Grand Old Party, see what he thinks of the current party of Lincoln.

  • Take Abe to the Lincoln Memorial; and make him recite his famous address.


In honor of the big guys birthday the question remains; what would you do with Abe?
I wish I could quit you,
Eddie
