Humor me guys, by checking out an interesting family story. I make a point not to promote my (mostly dormant) blog over here, but that was where it made sense to tell this story...prompted by my cleaning out a closet containing some of my dad's (d.1998) memorabilia, and revisiting an article from The Cleveland News of June 26, 1912.

Awesome story.
I always like digging through my great grandparents' stuff, you never know what you might learn about your family history.

Listen to me Randy, it doesn't matter if you're white, or black, or a Sasquatch even. As long as you follow your dreams, no matter how crazy or against the law it is. Except for Sasquatch, if you're a Sasquatch the rules are different.- Meatwad

Better be careful digging around in yours. Could result in deportation and a trial.

I was wondering who would be the first brainless cunt to spout off some cuntfaced Nazi joke after I typed that.
The answer was no surprise..
