-reblog and give your votes

Round One, Part 2
Richard, earl of Cornwall vs.
Dick Cheney: here we have two political figures, so this match-up kind of makes
sense. Cornwall was the younger brother of England’s King Henry III and was
also King of the Romans (which is really “Germany”). Cheney used to be the Vice
President of the United States and he shot a buddy in the face. Oh, and he looks
like Penguin!
Dick Whittington vs. Richard, earl of Cambridge: whoo-hoo two medieval dudes! The real Dick Whittington was
the mayor of London; the nursery-rhyme Dick Whittington owed his success to his
cat. Cambridge was a member of the royal family who was executed by Henry V.
Richard Nixon vs. Richard Cromwell: more political figures! Nixon was once President of the US and “not a
crook” (his words, not mine!). Cromwell was the son and heir of Oliver
Cromwell. Richard tried to rule England as protector, but he was terrible and
the monarchy was brought back instead.
Richard Rich vs. Richard Sherman:
Rich was a douche who got Thomas More murdered. Sherman wrote a bunch of
fabulous Disney songs.
Richard Dix vs. Richard, earl ofArundel: a Hollywood actor vs. an abrasive earl that was once bitch-slapped by
Richard II. Good times.
Richard Hennessy vs. Richard Dawson: the man behind Hennessy cognac vs. Mr. Family Feud.
Dick Whitman vs. Richard, duke ofYork: the birth name of Don Draper (Mad
Men) vs. the father of Richard III.
Richard Monckton Milnes vs. Dick Grayson: Victorian gentleman with an unsurpassed collection of erotic
literature vs. the original Robin, the Boy Wonder (later Nightwing, later still
Batman, but now Nightwing again).
Vote now – it’s what all the cool
kids are doing!
