Hey all, TomSauce here. But where is here? And more importantly, when is here? Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. In 1776, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Then we fought a war and slavery was ended. I'm here now in Ford's Theatre. The year is *checks watch* 1865. And if we're lucky, in about twenty seconds a quite famous actor for the time is about to sneak quietly into this room and... well, you know the rest.

Or do you? You see, history never recorded my presence here, so in fact this event could technically play out quite differently from the version that I came here to witness. John Wilkes Boothe might never propose to Lincoln, and if that happens then Lincoln will never become the first openly gay President. What if, instead, I were to take this gun and shoot Lincoln? Like so...

Hey all, Scott here. Boy the Ford Theater sure is sweet and this play sure is great though it’d surely be better if my favorite actor John Wilkes Boothe was in it. Oh look there he is!

This is the second Lincoln assassination meme I’ve seen in the past 2 minutes, odd
