Booth Made Famous On April 15th Mdccclxv

Booth made famous on April 15th, MDCCCLXV... Sic semper tyrannis ad mortem ("Thus always I bring death to tyrants"). Ever since early forerunners of twenty first century mankind (sprinted across trackless expanse extant upon planet Earth), modern *****Sapiens essentially won out as coterie precursors sans predominant present day team of rivals. The zigzag line, whence our arboreal ancestors skedaddled their way toward capital one delineation of diehard deadheads dogging disaster, and acquiring dubious distinction decreeing domain of oblate spheroid as prime real estate, (when Prometheus fire privy to proto humans), the imperceptible figurative ink did not dry before hairy hooligans edged out other prehensile primates. Enfant Terrible employed as an analogy for punctuated equilibrium witnessing boom rang amidst feral creatures unpredictably crowing with nirvana seeking foo fighting fecundity (inadvertently in sync with Feng Shui) to launch scrappy posse of measly mensch kinsmen/women into the realm. This phenomena countless thousands of years since inception of brutal, nasty and short present day troglodytes. With the aid of an imaginary crystal ball, the seeds of White Lily got borne via Aery windy gusts jet setting most “advanced” pygmy beasts as animalistic bellwether per future adventure, whence many anthropological opposable thumbed volumes yet written till present deadly crossroads announced ruthless Reichstag. Credos, codas, diktats governing infantile Messerschmitt Sol Invictus yet unnamed role as most dangerous living beings known to exist unwittingly usurped grandiose nom de plume as Master predicating their survival on brawn and brains to public enemy number one to all other life forms. As the fittest (at least when accident found tendency to crowdsource), the mob mentality already evident as hyena cackles quickly garnered rubric of might equals right), thus grabbing by force of strong arms (fingers clutching deadly lances) top prize as sovereign dictators of the Proletariat). Over the course of millennia, they became de facto dominant species. The evolutionary descendents metamorphosed into bipedal hominids of recent mankind did not monkey around when competing in the Human Race. They elbowed, jostled, and ousted competitors eventually to ascend inexorably their way to top tier of totalitarianism. Great indomitable naked apes of early simian evolution, would not settle for any role except top banana in hierarchical schema of biota extant throughout nascent dawn of civilization. Violence with whatever material at hand vanquished any threat to world wide webbed domination sans existence at dawn of civilization. Closer to late morning and high noon tall tale ushered vanity viz venal, vicious, vocal Tarzans, 10,000 Maniacs, and voodoo worshippers blitzed like banshees. Literal face saving each manikin for himself (gnome hatter whether blood pact swore) bludgeoned, hoodwinked, and whipped warriors wary warlocks fought tooth nail to death. One instant found a bald (ah that explains receding heir line) bandied legged bestial macho tree swinging sportsman brazenly boasting bona fide. Well guess what ma friend? That sure-footed geico hunter met bloody death on an empty stomach without the aid of fast food restaurants. His purported blood brothers abandoned him (at dropped née hurled clump of offal) as dependent and reliable brethren. No such thing as gentlemen’s agreement ruled virgin terra firmae. Amidst warren of primates, a promise quickly broached instantaneously after pledging allegiance to a pseudo fraternity.
