Abraham Lincoln

Who is this [u]Abraham Lincoln[/u] guy anyway?  Apparently he fought a war and wanted to ensure the freedom of all of humanity, or some such nuttery.

Ooh. When that comes out on VOD or SYFY I’ll be watching it!

I recently did a no-sparge batch of beer, and after all the wort drained from my lauter tun, an image of Lincoln showed up on the surface of the spent grain.

He the guy that answered the wrong way when his wife asked “does this make my butt look big” ??

Awesome book actually.

Of course I’m a big Lincoln fan, but to me it was amusing to see how he worked actual bits of Lincoln’s bio into the narrative.

Haha where he pauses to weigh his options and then says “a little”. :smiley:

I like alternate historical fantasy/scifi. Not much into the vampire/lycanthrope thing but the book sounds interesting.

He used to get all cuddly in bed with his male friends. Especially the ones he really liked. Their are roumers he even got a little kissy face with them. Maybe more.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

One of my Favorite Abe Lincoln quotes: In response to someone calling him two faced.

“…if I were two faced would I be wearing this one.”

No, it’s your big butt that makes your butt look big!  ;D

So the correct answer is “no, the dress doesn’t make your butt look big”.  Does your butt look big in that dress?  Oh yes, yes it does.

I read that one, too.  Pretty interesting the way he equated slave ownership with vampirism.  The whole point of the Civil War turns out was to free the slaves from the vampires.  Who knew?

I like the “I’m big boned” excuse.

Them: “I’m not fat, I’m just big boned.”

Tubercle : “Hell Fire, your bones have got to be big to support all of that weight.”

I like big butts and I can’t deny…

I LOLed.

So, apparently Steven Spielberg is making a Lincoln movie. I heard Daniel Day Lewis is playing Abe.

It’s Benjamin Walker, filming now in New Orleans, in 3-D, according to the Times-Picayune.

I watched Daniel Day Lewis in The Gangs of New York again today.  What an awesome movie!

Did Abe ever visit NOLA?

WHY??? STOP THE MADNESS!

It’s hard to separate the book/movie in question from his real life, not having studied much Lincoln history, but a quick search shows he made two visits to New Orleans by flat boat, where he witnessed a slave auction and had a famous bar fight, then eventually walked home to Illinois.
They used my friend’s property in the warehouse district to film interior and exterior shots.  They fixed up the building, painted the whole thing and gave them money for the trouble.  Nice.

Yeah. I’m really getting sick of it to the point where I’m just going to be an old man and not bother watching anything that’s only being shown in 3-D. Which will mean not watching any new movies. All for the best considering they haven’t made any really new movies in years.

And get off my lawn.

Walked back to Illinois?  Wow…  Wonder why he didn’t take the bus?  (sorry, having a Biden moment)  :wink:

Your friend with the warehouse - anyone I might know?
