“I’m not saying I’ll gut you like a fish but…well, no, that’s exactly what I’m saying.”
~Jim Bowie
After yesterday’s Fun Fact regarding Davy Crockett, it might come as a surprise to see another Fun Fact about a similar topic. Why? Maybe it’s because today is the 175th Anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of the Alamo or something (wait, we have to check that. Holy shit, it is? We were just pulling that out of our asses…) And it could be because the people behind the Alamo were some of the greatest American champions of all time. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because Jim Bowie was such an unmitigated badass who invented a knife best suited to murder polar bears and decided to use it on people that we couldn’t wait any longer before giving him his proper, AFFotD due.
Plus he kind of looks like John C. Reilly
