Arthur. I've got 3 copies of it including 40th and 50th anniversary. One of those great American novels.
Next question. On whom did she base the character of Dill?
Ding ding ding... we have a winner.
I remember hearing about all the characters' roots back during the anniversary specials and pub of Harper Lee's original manuscript (IIRC), but not all the details.
I do remember a couple specials at the time talking about her friendship with Truman Capote, which was documented in two different movies about his researching and writing In Cold Blood. Dill was prissy enough to be Capote, but the timing seems off since ... Blood came years later than To Kill...
So I give...
Will you two just give it a fucking rest already? Every thread ends up clogged with your endless back and forth. Some of us actually want to talk about football.
There is a cure for that... just sayin'...

Oh god, deflate gate again?
Do we need ANOTHER lesson on the ideal gas law? Do we need to show how there were under inflated balls in a game this year and the NFL ignored it?

There's is no such thing as the greatest of all time. Graham can't be compared to Brady for a number of reasons, mostly because in Graham's era you ate a five course dinner, smoked a cigar, and drank a few whiskeys before hitting the field.
Graham was the greatest of his time. Brady is the greatest of this time. That's all there is to it.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Call us when someone catches up.
But, you bring up a good point. OG only did it in an 11 year career. He had accomplished so much that he retired. (He could actually get paid more doing something else in those days). Plus, he played in time when QBs didn't wear skirts...or were given a protective bubble the way they are now.
So, not only was he better, won more....he was tougher.
Yeah, I think they just started letting non white people play...

He played with Motley, Willis etc.

Fair enough. Its a family photo anyway.

Brady is the GOAT in terms of rings. Montana never lost a Super Bowl in his era.
In what mathematical system is 5 more than 7?
(and which one of us got a name change for being a douche?)

@boo-fagley said:
See what I mean folks.
Impossible to talk football with someone clueless.
You mean someone that knows that 7 Championships is more than 5? There is talking football (see TCs post), and there is just being..like you said...clueless.
You must have been a product of the Betsy DeVos school of learning.

Many say that Unitas is the best of all time.
Called his own plays and in those days you could do everything but murder to NFL Quarterbacks.
Yes....as TC said, and I agreed...it is a team photo. And Brady, OG, JU, Joe M. etc. are in the photo.

So...you agree with him that BB, TB and the Pats never cheated. It was all a conspiracy against them. (that is his claim).
An you agree with him that Tom Brady's 5 titles is more than Otto Graham's 7?
And you got all stupid with me over the fact that I forgot that Brandon Weeden started game one of his rookie year?
And you got all stupid with me because it is my opinion that the Browns need a QB, first and foremost priority?
Yet you defend this feckless fugat?
Just so we are clear on where you are coming from.

You are right. Her childhood friend was Truman Capote author also of Breakfast at Tiffany's from the late 50's, well before In Cold Blood.
I just went to Wiki to retrieve this:
Friendship with Harper Lee
Capote based the character of Idabel in Other Voices, Other Rooms on his Monroeville neighbor and best friend, Harper Lee. Capote once acknowledged this: "Mr. and Mrs. Lee, Harper Lee's mother and father, lived very near. She was my best friend. Did you ever read her book, To Kill a Mockingbird? I'm a character in that book, which takes place in the same small town in Alabama where we lived. Her father was a lawyer, and she and I used to go to trials all the time as children. We went to the trials instead of going to the movies."[15] After the Pulitzer Prize was awarded to Lee in 1961 and Capote published In Cold Blood in 1966, the authors became increasingly distant from each other."

Cool... I always forget about his authorship of ... Tifany's...

Many suspect that it was Truman Capote who actually wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.:
In the decades since Harper Lee published TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD in 1960, her novel has been shadowed by a persistent rumor. The speculation has been that Lee's long time friend Truman Capote either wrote or heavily edited the book, which would go on to be a bestseller and win the Pulitzer Prize.
I believe though that the rumors were denied by both parties....(but who really knows)

Oh, fiddle-de-de Ms. Scarlett-we's on @ 11pm CST Thurs.

From Goats, to books to movies. Where do we go from here. I know. How about a Fresca?

QB yes, still might be able to argue Jim Brown overall but you can make a solid argument for Brady

The greatest of all time was LT. The Giants LT. Enough said.
