Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

And it gets weirder.

I dont remember the details off the top of my head, but a Booth saved a Lincoln at a train station.

Yep. The oldest Booth brother saved Lincoln's son from getting run over by a train. And when he died, he still has a letter from Mary Todd Lincoln in his pocket thanking him for saving her son.

Man, thanks for the blast from the past. This video, over the years, has been one of my favorites to introduce people to.

Inevitably it starts out with them thinking that you're just showing a really stupid video, but then they start cracking up.

My favorite part is how Lincoln goes back and forth calling him either skinny, or a fat piece of shit... So ridiculous.
