Mrs. Lincoln at the theater

Author

This is the thread for asking people how they enjoyed things, predominantly plays, and then referring to them as Mrs Lincoln. I figured we could have this thread to go hog-wild in and it could stop contaminating other threads.

Other than that, Barb, how was the party at Steve’s?

Other than that, Fredo, how was the fishing?

I think it’s getting a little tasteless now.

“Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play” implies there was something about the situation that one otherwise might enjoy. Thus, the only ones here that make sense are Fredo’s fishing (lol!) and Barb’s party. So good work CatBus!

And how was the sucky-sucky, Mr. Clinton?

If you want to get real pedantic, I’m not sure those work either - the question is posed to Mrs. Lincoln, not Abraham himself.

Not sure it’s that pedantic, since the reason you’re asking Mrs. Lincoln is because she’s alive to ask, making the question at least theoretically plausible. I actually considered asking someone other than Barb for that very reason, but it just wasn’t as funny.

And there were only two people in Fredo’s boat, and one of them thought the fishing trip went exactly as planned, so asking him would have been boring, so I ask the dead guy again.

I see you’re getting pedantic about my use of the word pedantic.

I think they work. The irony is still there, unlike in the Kennedy and Alderaan examples, e.g.
