Lincoln took a drink
Told by Otho Pratt, Verona, Mo., July, 1951. He heard it
near Horse Creek, in Stone County, Mo., about 1914.
One time there was an old man lived at the mouth of Horse
Creek, and he used to tell a story about Abe Lincoln. The
old fellow claims he seen it in the Saint Louis
*Post-Dispatch*, but that must be a lie because everybody
knowed he didn't have no book-learning, so how could he read
anything out of a newspaper? And also they got a law
against things like that, and a dirty story couldn't be
printed in the paper anyhow.
But the way old Horse Creek told it, Abe Lincoln went into
a saloon. "What will you have this morning?" says the
bartender. Abe Lincoln ordered up an eggpoop, and the man
mixed it for him. Just then a country fellow sidled up to
the bar, and the bartender asked what he wanted. "I'll take
the same as Mister Lincoln," says the country boy.
The saloon keeper stirred up something in a glass and set
it on the bar. The country fellow took a swig, and then he
made a terrible bad face. "Mister Lincoln," says he, "maybe
that bartender just pooped in your drink. But he sure as
hell shit in mine!" And with that the country boy walked

right out of the saloon.
The old man that lived on Horse Creek says Abe Lincoln
told the story himself, and that's why they put it in the
Saint Louis *Post-Dispatch*. But it don't seem likely the
President would go around telling tales like that, while
there is a big war going on. So the folks figured that the
old man just made it up out of his own head, and President
Lincoln never even heard of such a thing.
Abraham Lincoln's humble origins and his unaffected manner
have made him the subject of an entire cycle of jokes and
stories, many of them quite earthy. Another example from
the cycle may be found in Hall, *Anecdota*, I, No. 340, in
which Lincoln is introduced to the Bates family, concluding
with young Master Bates. Turning to the father, Lincoln
says, "Make him stop. It's a bad habit." *Anecdota*, II,
No. 16, is a variant of Randolph's story about Lincoln. A
country boy trying to appear sophisticated steps up to a bar
and asks for a "billiard." The bartender winks to the other
customers, goes to the back room, and urinates into a glass.
The boy blows off the foam, drinks it down, and then remarks
that if he hadn't been drinking billiards for years he'd
have sworn that was piss.

I get a real rush playing the pipe organ. Today, I played for a wedding
and played the "Echo Noel" by Daquin. There must be a tremendous release
of endorphins because it is real high when you move your fingers and hands
and the sound comes out from every direction and you hear it and you react
and play even better.

I believe playing the pipe organ should be outlawed. You certainly didn't
drive after the wedding, I hope.

"This second hand plant smoke crap is just that, crap that was started by
some yellow journalist to take prissy people's minds from the real issues."
Bullshit, Rod, and you know it!
Ignorant, unfounded statements such as yours are the product of sick minds
who consistently refuse to accept scientifically documented FACTS,
preferring to fly in the face of truth for the sake of some warped
ideological and illogical fallacies born out of burnt out minds and
semi-destroyed psyches.
Get off your "drugs are wonderful" soap box and shut the hell up!
And before you jump on it, YES! that is a "Christian" attitude! I never said
I was perfect!

Hello to anyone who will listen to me jabber. I just got a modem to
see what it can do. I'm on some other BBS's but I still only know one
really well because when I got stuck the Sysop broke in and helped
tremundusly (spelling isn't one of my strong points.). Iorn Horse is the
name. If you haven't tried it you might try it. Great games and more
importantly friendly people. Somebody please write me and tell me what I'm
supposed to be doing! Maybe the Sysop can take me through a crash course
next time I log on and he's paying attention. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

You entered a post just fine.... Apollo is a simple BBS to use and
all I can suggest, is play around, don't worry about making a mistake or
two. I hardly ever sit here and watch the monitor, after almost 9 years on
line, it gets old.
If you do have a question, just leave me mail in the [P]ost office.

Hi, Bryan!
You won't find any on-line games or such here. Apollo is mostly a
discussion board; we like to get on each other's nerves by discussing "the
issues of the day." Sometimes it's pretty weighty and others it's pretty
stupid.
Your best bet is to get involved. Just pick a topic and get involved. And
if Apollo looks good to you, be sure to check out the [$]tatus command. It
tells how to gain access to all the non-public areas of the system.
