one useless man is called a disgrace, two a law firm, three or more a Congress

leupagus on 1776:

FINALLY we get to meet Jefferson, who is eight feet tall and has a pretty terrible wig, but whatever, he's adorable. He also wants to get home to his wife (presumably to bang her, since one of the things we know about Mrs. Martha Jefferson is that she died of being, essentially, fucked to death) and doesn't want to write the Declaration of Independence - nor does anyone else. Adams essentially dubcons Jefferson into writing it - "by physical force if necessary."

Context wants to grow up to be John Hancock and take John Adams out for drinks.

lazulisong:

So SOME AWFUL PERSON spent a significant amount of time today feeding me bits of 1776: The Musical on YouTube at me, and then further encouraged me in my horrible speculations about the relative sizes of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams as portrayed in said musical (hint: JAdams is like, tiny and TJeff is like, Thor), and also the way TJeff crowds JAdams against a bannister and JAdams -- who is God's own pissy uke -- just lets him. Possibly with an eyelash flutter.

...I may have bought the script off Powells, and I may or may not have it on reserve as soon as someone gets it back in to the library. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM GOING TO BE PARTY TO MAKING THE FOUNDING FATHERS BANG, leupagus.

Context is enjoying 70F weather.
