He probably slept with them all. We’ve all heard the stories about Franklin.

“But after my fifth ale, it looked like _good_ spelling!”

In Franklin’s case, would they be beer bifocals?

Since he wanted the Wild Turkey to be the national bird, I reckon he was a bourbon man. That and the French helping out and all.

Oh hell, do we have to have “Freedom Whiskey” now?

I’m not sure if it’s Denebian or not but it’s definitely not Denobulan. Caught it after I posted it though… I hate not being able to edit posts here.

“Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” - Benjamin Franklin

Bourbon whiskey was invented in Kentucky, BTW. And I don’t care what you call it; if it’s the good stuff, I’ll drink it.

**Linus** : AFL! Another Fine Limerick. There have been so many good ones, it’s almost kinda like American Idol. :rolleyes: Okay, maybe not. But I love 'em.

Ooh, ooh! Can I be Simon?! Please, please, please?!\*

\*I’ve only watched the show twice… I’m not a fan. I just want to be the mean one who makes people cry. Honestly. I mean it! _I’VE ONLY SEEN IT TWICE!!_

Certainly, **Aessimonron.** I barely glanced at that show, but I was hoping that Ruben would win.

I haven’t seen this season. The two shows I watched were last year. I liked the punk looking girl… Nikki? She was hot.

I only recall that Kelly won, and that she did a lot of ululating, which is not my favorite sound in the world.

Can’t say it’s mine either. Now death metal growls, on the other hand, rock my universe.

OK, time for Hoshi (down, Tars!)

Here’s to Hoshi who’s cute and quite spunky

And translates with equipment still clunky

But we also should note

Seems she’d win every vote

For the Trek chick with whom to get funky

This thread’s gone all confusing. I’m bewildered by the American Idol/Ben Franklin references. I don’t quite get how the phenomena are related, unless the Nasty British Dude is equated with George III in some way, and the viewer voting thing is symbolic of the evolution of American electoral practices.

Is that it? Did I get it? Do I win a cookie?

I made a bogus quote from Franklin about grammar.  
It has no relation to reality, let alone this or any other thread.  
_mea culpa_.

However, to the best of my knowledge, the Franklin quote about beer is genuine.

Dang it Cervaise, I thought you were on to something really subversive.  
I am disappointed. No more Canadian Time Travel Spoiler thingies for you, young lady!
