[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny, is before they shall have gotten hold on us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.

—Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XIII, “Constitution” (1781–82)

[Robert Scott Horton]

[deadpresidents]

"He is an old friend with whom I have often had occasion to labor on many a knotty problem, and in whose abilities and steadiness I always found great cause to confide."

-- John Adams, on Thomas Jefferson, 1784

•••

"It is with much reluctance that I am obliged to look upon him as a man whose mind if warped by prejudice and so blinded by ignorance as to be unfit for the office he holds. However wise and scientific as a philosopher, as a politician he is a child and a dupe of party."

-- President John Adams, on his Vice President Thomas Jefferson, 1797

•••

"I always loved Jefferson, and still love him."

-- Former President John Adams, expressing his fondness for former President Thomas Jefferson to Edward Coles, which ultimately led to the two former Presidents rekindling their friendship and beginning a remarkable correspondence that lasted until they both died, within hours of one another, on July 4, 1826 -- the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Hotel Valhalla as a reality TV show Pt.2

(Part one)

Mallory [to a camera]: Right, so sometimes, Halfborn does these...how do I describe them?

Magnus: Experiments?

Alex: Tests on the human limits of pain and misery to see what can break his mind and soul?

Mallory:

Mallory: Both work, honestly.

Mallory: Either way he's a dumbass, and this week he's decided to see how long he could go without sleep and so far he's tried to eat his own hand, convince us that we were aliens and—

Alex: And it's hilarious

-

[Day One]

Halfborn [slicing the air with his axes]: Honestly? I feel so energetic that I could kill a whole army right now!

[He throws one axe across the hallway just as TJ was stepping out of his room]

TJ: Hey-! [Gets beheaded]

Halfborn: Oops? Eh, he'll be fine!

-

[Day Two]

Halfborn: I think the less sleep I get, the stronger I become!

-

[Day Three]

Magnus: You good there buddy?

Halfborn: Yes, perfectly fine. I just needed to lay down for a sec, but then I'll be back to kicking names and taking ass!

Magnus: I-that's not how—

Alex [trying not to laugh]: Shh, just let him be Maggie. If he wants to kick names and take ass, let him.

-

[Day Four]

Halfborn: Is it still called cannibalism if you try to eat yourself?

Halfborn: Self-cannabalism?

Halfborn: Ingestion of thyself?

TJ [pauses in eating his breakfast]: Dude, you're gonna make me lose my appetite.

Mallory: Halfborn, take your hand out of your mouth right now or I will chop it off and feed it to the wolves.

Halfborn: So the wolves can eat me but I can't?

Mallory: I swear to Gods—

-

[Day Five]

Halfborn [to Magnus]: This...this is your father

Magnus:

Magnus [Pointing to Halfborn's palm]: That's a cockroach.

Halfborn: [Gasp] Show your father some respect!

Magnus: But that's not my father.

Halfborn: What are you talking about? You look just like him!

Magnus:

Magnus [turning to Alex]: I feel like I should be insulted by that.

-

[Day Six]

Halfborn: I knew it! I knew your evil plan was to disguise yourselves as humans so it would be easier for you to take over the world! Well guess what, scum? I won't let you do so that easily! Prepare to die!

TJ: For the last time, we aren't aliens.

Mallory: Who are you calling scum you motherfucker?

Magnus: And we're all kind of already dead.

Halfborn: Lies! More words of your manipulation—

Alex: Should I just kill him now and put us all out of our misery?

-

[Day Seven]

Magnus: Good news, Alex didn't have to kill him—

Alex: That's bad news.

Magnus: —cause he passed out on his own yesterday. But now he's just...sleeping like a rock in the middle of the hallway.

[Halfborn's loud snores can be heard in the background]

Mallory: Idiot couldn't even make it to seven days

Magnus: But...should we move him?

TJ: Maybe I should kill him as payback for Monday—

[justanotherhamiltrash]

Hamilton: So what did you get me for Christmas?
