Quote from: Squeefuhm I think en.wikipedia.org's was the best, I totally thought that their "featured article" was real until about halfway through it. Ima Hogg lmao!! Well now I'm just confused I can't tell if it's fake or not, apparently Ima Hogg was a real person.

Damn what the fuck okay so if Ima Hogg is real that's all fine and dandy but the featured article is obviously a prank.

QuoteIma Hogg was an enterprising circus emcee who brought culture and class to Houston, Texas. A storied ostrich jockey, she once rode to Hawaii to visit the Queen. Raised in government housing, young Ima frolicked among a backyard menagerie of raccoons, possums and a bear. Her father, "Big Jim" Hogg, in an onslaught against fun itself, booby-trapped the banisters she loved to slide down, shut down her money-making schemes, and forced her to pry chewing gum from furniture. He was later thrown from his seat on a moving train and perished; the Hogg clan then struck black gold on land Big Jim had forbidden them from selling. Ima had apocryphal sisters named "Ura" and "Hoosa" and real-life brothers sporting conventional names and vast art collections; upon their deaths, she gave away their artwork for nothing and the family home to boot. Tragically, Ms. Hogg (a future doctor) nursed three dying family members. She once sweet-talked a burglar into returning purloined jewelry and told him to get a job. Well into her nineties, she remained feisty and even exchanged geriatric insults with an octogenarian pianist. Hogg claimed to have received thirty proposals of marriage in her lifetime, and to have rejected them all. Hogg was revered as the "First Lady of Texas", and her name and legacy still thrive today.

which is why I think wikipedia's is the best, it is actually clever at least.
ima hogg is a real person yeah my dad told me about her and her family when i was a kid
