Poor Richard's Tumblr
I was kidnapped from the past and brought to 2012 Chicago, and this is my tumblr.
Congratulations to our friend Marc for becoming a finalist in the Austin Television Festival Pitch Competition! He and I shall venture to Texas this June to share our story with people of import.
I know it’s been a while, but I finally composed myself from sheer excitement - poordicks is following me! I’m genuinely really sorry shenanigans on this blog, so as a sign of my gratitude - a drawing!
It truly is such an honor, sir!
The honor is mine with a drawing such as this.
[because I’ve been doing more rewatches lately and there has been a distinct increase in my feelings about it]
It really doesn’t sem that odd that I would fall deeply, deeply in love with a show like I Made America. I already love (and am very vocal about my love for) US history and the dead…
The person who operates Benjamin Franklin’s phone, is the same person who operates this tumblr, and is the same person that looks like myself, Benjamin Franklin. We were happy to meet you, and we remember that day very fondly.
Perhaps a few of you have seen a glimpse of a new video with Marc and I. It is nothing definite, it was simply what Marc calls a “Pitch Reel.” We meant to upload it private, but youtube decided to forgo our opinions for a bit.
Regardless, we are simply pitching our story to some “Pilot Competitions.” Nothing is definite, but no reward comes from sitting idly by.
Thank you for your interest.
B. Franklin, Printer
I nearly screamed
(also yes that is a seasonal pop tart)
This is excellent!
highkingpetermagnificent asked: Have you tried the seasonal flavours of pop tarts? I can attest that the gingerbread ones are quite good, as are the pumpkin pie flavoured ones.
I have enjoyed the gingerbread ones, but have not had the pleasure of the pumpkin tarts.
I found this video quite amusing and much look forward to the Hobbits!
A close Chicago friend of mine is going to be in Cambridge this weekend producing an improv competition for college students. What should he do while he is there? I no longer know what the best things are to do in the Boston area.
Dearest friends,
I want to take a moment to let you know that myself and the rest of the fathers see your posts, and your desire for there to be more documentation of our lives. I will tell you, that in some way and at some time we will be back online and our lives will once again be visible and followable. Unfortunately, we are still unsure as to when and in what capacity that will occur.
However, we are still moved by your hopes, and uplifted by your thoughts. You are all keeping the I Made America documentary alive by believing in it, and for that we thank you.
Go forth and live out today with your chin up and your hearts warm, for that is the feeling you give all of us.
Sincerely,
B. Franklin, Printer
teddybruisevelt asked: As much as I respect your view on just about anything, Doctor Franklin, I'm wondering if, perhaps, your ideas of gun control take it a little far. Perhaps tighter gun regulations, making it more difficult to get a license, and requiring every home with guns to have a safe for them, or something along those lines. I simply feel as if- while, yes, guns can and are very dangerous- they still have use in protection. For a simple exaqmple, a young woman living alone could benefit from owning a gun.
Perhaps it would be a better idea not to live alone. The point is, that just because a gun is an option, does not mean it should be your only option. A gun will only keep you safe if you are attacked. A gun will threaten your safety (and the safety of those around you) all the time that it is around.
