On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in Milwaukee by would-be assassin John Schrank, who had stalked him for three weeks through eight states. With a .38-calibre bullet still in his chest and blood soaking through his clothes, Roosevelt nevertheless addressed an audience of 9,000-12,000 people in Milwaukee Auditorium for 80 minutes, joking at one point that "It takes more than one bullet to kill a Bull Moose."

Was this thread inspired by the assassination thread in EoEO, or is it just a coincidence that I mentioned the same thing last night? :p
And yeah, that was badass.

Of course it is badass, it is Teddy we are talking about!
Though I hadn't realized he was quite THAT awesome!

I make sure to tell that story every time it's appropriate because Teddy Roosevelt was the man. And also clearly insane.

I second the motion.
And did you not know? To be truly badass you have to be at least a little bit insane!

I think Army of Darkness is a culmination of all good things in this world. If everyone in the world saw that movie, there would never be a war again.
