Annie Oakley was born on this date in 1860. Would you liked to have lived back in the Wild West days of cowboys, cowgirls, and stagecoaches? Why or why not?
Yeah, kids, the Wild West was super fun. It was all lasso tricks, and playing with horses, and Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better. You totally wish you were alive at that time.
But hey kids, one other thing: have you seen Deadwood? Because the thing is that if you had lived during the Wild West, you would have been either a murder victim or a prostitute (or both!). Or you would have gotten the smallpox. If you were lucky, you would have been kicked in the head by a horse and your body fed to a bunch of pigs, except for your brain which was taken by the doctor so he could do science on it.
On the upside, that doctor gave out laudanum like it was candy. Candy, kids!
