Thompson vs. #14 Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) Discuss and provide evidence (video, pics, audio, etc). Voting ends Oct 18 in the am. DennyMcLain 10-16-2007, 10:57 AM I'm shocked -ART voted for Twain, yet offered no twelve page sermon as to why. Fool 10-16-2007, 10:58 AM By the by, Thompson is overrated. Big Swami 10-16-2007, 11:07 AM This is a tough one. Mark Twain was the greatest American writer. But HST lived his entire life turned up to 11. Mark Twain was smarter, a better writer, and funnier, but he wasn't an avowedly insane person with a penchant for liquor, guns, and psychedelics. HST might be cooler. Fool 10-16-2007, 11:09 AM That's a good point. I took this totally as a writing match which isn't the issue at bar. MOLA1 10-17-2007, 10:41 AM 5Zw2atBc0RI LAYRhHFeip4 9GHJkGLu-eM | |
