Babe Lincoln

Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame. He went 300-1 Source

Lol that sounds like some North Korean levels of propaganda.

You ever been to the Lincoln memorial? Dude was huge. Like 20 feet.

And built like he was made out of concrete.

Did you ever hear about Washington? 12 stories high, made of radiation.

Theo Roosevelt boxed a shit ton of people as well until he went blind in one eye from a punch from one of his staff if I remember correctly. Gave a pretty long speech after being shot in the torso and had the foresight to make sure they didn't kill the shooter. Tough guy. Lots of horse riding and outdoors in his life.

I don't know how true this is, but I've read he had asthma as a kid, but self-medicated by climbing mountains

Bro used to wrestle bears. He was a not great lawyer, he was however an amazing athlete by all acvounts. Marfans and possible heds is a weird combo (trust me) you've got leverage and undue flexibility, add some strength and you basically have a gimped octopus.

Skinny guys fight till they're burger.

It was completed in 1941?! That’s so much farther back than I would have expected based on the pose. Men weren’t sexy in the 1940’s, they just said “swell” and all had those thick black glasses.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

I love how every generation thinks they’re the first one to discover sex. Like, how do you think you got here?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What? Men weren’t sexy?

My great aunt had photos up of my late great uncle doing pushups on a railroad track, in short shorts, with her sitting on his back. I can’t remember if the pictures was from before he went to war or after.

They did wear those high pants and dressed more formally, but it was because they had less clothes.

He died before I was born, but the man was apparently very fun even after coming back from the war

We have historical Records where Abe describes himself as 'Ugly', this statue seems historically inaccurate.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Best part of being a guy is you can be so ugly you actually start being somewhat attractive. Like Williem Dafoe. A huge dong helps too. Like Willie Da...I mean Williem Dafoe.

Or Adam driver, who disproves every theory about facial symettry.

This the youngest picture of him I could find. He's 37 or 38. Obviously he'd look different in high-def, but he doesn't look so bad:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

He's attractive and sexy, but not hot or pretty.

If that even makes sense.

If social media has taught me anything, it's that incredibly sexy people find themselves ugly all the time.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see you've found Abe Lincoln's pre-electricity attempt at an Instagram account... or is that his OnlyFans?

His thumb in his pants. I feel like I've seen Abe (not shirtless) posing this way before. It looks familiar.

Or it's just because I dated a guy that would lean back like that.

I thought it looked like him too, but alas, no. Would be funny if every governer had almost naked statues of themselves as just a thing Californians do. Not even realistic ones, although Arnold in his prime would look straight up classic.

So we're all just going to ignore the massive penis?

Americans have made their politics into a mythology and lincoln is basically their jesus. As it turns out not exactly jesus, but you get the point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

This is true. We're a young country, so we make our historical figures mythos
