Dude wasn't very bright. Everyone in town must know about True temper. Bet be last time he pranks someone.
- Let’s be honest, he TRUEly deserved to get his ass kicked for blowing out dude’s match. I know this was the early 1900’s, but you don’t fuck with a smoker’s nicotine. Just don’t.
  
  As a former smoker I agree. I killed someone who fucked with me getting my smoke on.
"It's just a prank, bro!" But 100 years ago
I'd destroy a guy who smiled at me like that too. I don't feel like being the victim of a horror movie.
Love to see the proper use of "Woe Betide", let's bring it into more frequent use. Example: Woe betide she who spills my pumpkin spice latte!
- "O gentle Aaron, we are all vndone. / Now helpe, or woe betide thee euermore." -shakespeare
  "Woe betide the Subſcribers, their Children and Wives, / This Action ſhall coſt 'em five hundred Folks Lives." -w.pittis
  ""God save us!" cried the captain, / "For naught can man avail; / Oh, woe betide the ship that lacks / Her rudder and her sail!["] -jg whittier

lol i love this one. do you know why this is so lq? do you screenshot them?
- Yeah I screenshot and crop. When I include the title, I use the pdf so the title search words aren't highlighted.
  I usually don't do any further editing, but In this case the scanned image was a little "faded"-looking, so I messed with the contrast and brightness a bit in GIMP. Maybe it wasn't enough.
