A friend and I shouted this just as the professor walked in. It was even better that he got the reference and laughed!

REMIND ME TO TELL YOU THE STORY OF WHEN LUCUS LEARNED I KNEW WHAT 1776 WAS
I have actually had people sing this at me at my museum job.
“I have a request to make of you; something like the barrel of sand, I suppose you will think it, but really of much more importance to me. It is, that you would send out Mr. Bass, and purchase me a bundle of pins, and put them in your trunk for me. The cry for pins is so great, that what I used to buy for seven shillings and sixpence, are now twenty shillings, and not to be had for that. A bundle contains six thousand, for which I used to give a dollar; but if you can procure them for fifty shillings, or three pounds, pray let me have them.”
Abigail Adams to John Adams, 15 June 1775

I fixed it.

So I found this amazing flickr album here - I’m pretty sure there must be a gif around somewhere, but I was too lazy to find it damnit, so I made my own. Because Richard Henry Lee is a BAMF, and don’t you forget it.
