But it was his cousin, right?

Genius!

Maybe I'm confusing him with the pedos Jerry Lee Lewis or Charlie Chaplin. Seriously, they were.

His cousin was 3 years older and they got together in the +- 40ies. It's not hard to look up this kind of stuff.

I know right. Creepy AND kinky.

Jerry Lee Lewis or Charlie Chaplin.

Don't forget Ted Nugent and Jimmy Page!

Wow. Didn't know that.

Gosh this is an old post. My first and only "shitpost" before I learned what that was and that it's not acceptable - at least in serious subs.

I wouldn't really consider this a "shit post". It doesn't sidetrack the discussion, it just adds an anecdote to it. At least I hope it's not what people are thinking of when they talk about unacceptable posts.

Not "shit post" as in shitty lousy content. "Shitpost" as in stirring up trouble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitposting

It is an embarrassment of sorts, explained within these comments - yet I didn't delete/withdraw it as I feel it's a perfect example of what not to do - a learning experience to share. (I was new to SaidIt culture, having not been on Reddit nor on forums much before this.)

Yes, I get the meaning. I just interpreted it more as a humorous aside as opposed to an attempt to stir up trouble. I truly like the idea of keeping comments on saidit from becoming the mess reddit become, but OTOH I don't think if we should over analyze every post. If you didn't feel like you were trying to shit post then you weren't. Only you know the true answer to that, but I certainly did not take it that way.

You interpreted correctly.

Also, I was finding that a lot of posts were of common misattributions and indirectly making fun of that, though I don't recall if I actually stated that here.

Since then I think someone made a /s/FakeQuotes or something like it but I couldn't find it specifically.

I love a lot of quotes that aren't real so I always check first to find out if they're valid or not.

I'm glad you didn't take it that way (unlike Einstein :P). It was a manic moment and lack of judgment for a bawdy jab at hyperintellectualism.
