"When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. if you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso." -Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau at a bullfight in Vallauris, France, 1956
I talked about “Cabaret des Assassins” in Paris where the hashish was loved, but later on when the bar became "Lapin Agile" it was still frequented by the smokers, time travelers and outcast folk alike. Picasso loved the place so that he made it his home while in town.
Man with pipe and seated nude, 1969
This was so known that Steve Martin even wrote a broadway play, fictional but legs in real world, about Picasso meeting Einstein in the Lapin Agile circa 1905 called "Picasso at the Lapin Agile".
Picasso - Standing female nude and man with pipe- 1968
Although the meeting was fictional it still makes for a good play with one leg in reality. I'm guessing by Picasso's work and love of pipes that the original soul of the Cabaret des Assassins lived on long past its name...

A ass's tail...
Et le soleil se coucha sur l'Adriatique (Sunset over the Adriatic)- And a name for the artist? Joachim-Raphael Boronali aka Aliboron aka Lolo
March 1910 in Paris, what a time for some day drinking fun to be had...
So Roland Dorgelès (young art critic) and barkeep caretaker of the Lapin Agile Frédéric Gérard aka "Frede" after some good day drinks, hatch a plan with buddies writer André Warnod, and the illustrator Jules Deraquit.
Frede and Lolo at the Lapin agile 1901
Frede cares for the bar Mascot and local fixture, a Donkey named Aliboron aka Lolo. He grabs a canvas and paints 2 colors seperating the picture. Next he ties a paintbrush to Lolo's tail, and sets the painting under the brush after dipping it in paint. Feeding her carrots and tobacco leaves for her to wag her tail on the painting and to everyone's excitement it works... briefly as I'm sure the laughs continued on...
Lolo and the pranksters 1910
They then plan and throw a art show for the painting and the new mystery painter at the happening "Salon des Indépendants". Large crowds of people showed up at the event and ohhed and awwed at the paintings brilliance. The gag was only reveled when a paper published the whole story by the pranksters at the Lapin Agile and their Donkey Lolo...

James/ Younger gang 1876
There are a treasure trove of wild west tales to read through online, but some of my favorite's to read are the tiny blurbs at the end of the papers. Tales of stuff to be not so proud of quickly and quietly told in just sentences. Those sentences often speak volumes...

Titled: Smuggled Mariguana
Point of no return, front gate Yuma Territory Prison
This small catch by a Yuma Territory prison guard gets treated like the crime stop of the decade getting reprinted for years to come. Whenever marijuana being smuggled into prison's pre 1910 is mentioned, this is the incident or article they always reference.

This article made such waves the federal government gets in on the action asking for samples for "Scientific determination"... i.e. let me try that...

The Dark Cell at Yuma Territory Prison is said to be still haunted with the poor souls who stayed for good.

"I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
-Gen. James "Mad Dog" Mattis, with one of the hardest call signs of all time aka "Chaos"
An aerial gunner stands before his B-24 bomber wearing what it took to survive at 25,000ft over WWII battlefield in 1943-45.
“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

B-24 of the 460th Bomb Group drops a load of fragmentation bombs on the Aidrome at Neuberg, Austria – 26 March 1945
I love looking through nose art or artwork that was painted on the planes. Stumbled on this gem, funny they chose to title a skunk riding the bomb as "Little Flower"...

One of my favorite prison break stories. Breaking out of prison not to get away into the night to freedom, but to find cannabis and whisky to bring back in...

Great thread. Thanks so much. Subbed.
“I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot—but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”
Theodore Roosevelt campaign speech opening minutes after being shot
The Dos Equis guy has nothing on one of our toughest American's ever, President and all around badass... Theodore Roosevelt...
A 19-year-old Theodore Roosevelt during his freshman year at Harvard, 1877
There are so many stories about Roosevelt that are just so amazing that they sound a tale of legend or myth, but make no mistakes, Theodore Roosevelt was a badass. Like when he was just getting into Politics and took a trip to his frontier hideaway in Mingasville, ND to clear his head.
As he was enjoying his drink at a local bar, some pissed off cowboy pulled out his gun and took a couple shots at Roosevelt. Standing the gunman points his gun at Roosevelt's head, his reaction, Roosevelt laugh's...
Choosing to take control of the situation, Roosevelt charges the gunman knocking the gun away and continues to bash his head against the bar until he is unconscious. Not enough, Roosevelt drags the guy outside to a shed and locks the unconscious would be assassin in for the night... Damn...
Teddy Roosevelt harpooning devilfish 1917
But our quote today comes from one of his most badass moments just after being shot...
October 14, 1912 on the campaign trail in Milwaukee, just getting into his car outside the Gilpatrick Hotel for the ride to his speech at a rally. He stands in the convertible to wave at all the onlookers when 5 feet away a gunman pulls out his .38 and shoots Roosevelt point blank in the chest...
An instant chaotic scene erupts instantly with chaos around the car everywhere. According to one eyewitness at the scene "one man was “the coolest and least excited of anyone in the frenzied mob”: Roosevelt"...
Theodore Roosevelt's X-ray after being shot
What does Roosevelt do after being shot? He coughs in his hand 3 times, after not seeing blood he decides the bullet had not punctured his lungs and against his doctors pleas for the hospital he commands the driver “You get me to that speech.”...
He continued to the campaign rally where he walked on stage, minutes after being shot in the chest point blank, and gives a 90 minute defiant speech...
“I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap,”
