200 years ago today, a very great man was born. In fact, some say the greatest man ever to grace the pages of our history books. I'm speaking, of course, of none other than the world famous Daniel P. McBurdie.

I would like to pay tribute to this illustrious man. Oh Daniel P. loquacious man, with words of counsel strong, a wise and always gracious man. Of thee we sing our song. Of course, I don't have to tell you what this country might be like if it hadn't been from like Brody.

I only want... Yeah, pardon me, son. Yes. Who was it? What did you say? I said, who was he? I thought that's what you said. Oh, come now, really. You don't know who Daniel P. McBordie was?

I can't say as I do. Look, have you ever heard of Paul Bunyan, the giant of the Northwest? Oh, you heard of Paul Bunyan? Timbaman came down from the Dominion of Canada. He had a blue ox named Babe.
