Cooter Brown
Today's random article (and let's just forget the three-month break, shall we?) is Cooter Brown.
I'm afraid I can't summarize who Cooter Brown is any better than the article can, so here we go: "Cooter Brown is a name used in metaphors of drunkenness"... as in "Goddamn, he's as drunk as Cooter Brown". The story is supposedly as follows: Cooter Brown lived right on the Mason-Dixon line during the US Civil War, and was eligible for the draft by both sides. Instead of deciding which side to fight for, he decided to get drunk and stay drunk for the entire duration of the Civil War.
Here's to you, Cooter Brown. Your drunkenness, indecisiveness and cowardice is an example to us all.
Also notable in this article is some guy's first-person ramble about how his uncle used to say something similar.
