On occasion, Cole would wander the streets with a cow's teat poking through the open fly of his trousers; once he judged he had caused optimum outrage, he would cut off the offending protrusion with a pair of scissors.

This legend needs to be remembered.

I'm slow today. My dumb ass over here was trying to figure out who was named Bottomshit.

Lord Bradley Bottomshit kindly asks that you not disparage his family’s name any further.

Lord Bradley Bottomshit, of the Boston Bottomshits?

There once was a prankster named Horace,
who thought the stage play was quite borious.
He conspired to seat,
those whom’s heads were shaved neat,
and reflected a swear off their foreheads.

My favorite part of this is the way you made me pronounce forehead in my head. Like far-eds. I don't know how to spell it out, but it was very Yankee, and that was a treat for my southern brain

We should all respect trolls more instead of just banning them.

According to another story he bought tickets for particular seats at a theatrical performance he considered pretentious and distributed them to eight bald men whose heads, painted with a single letter, spelled out the word "B-O-L-L-O-C-K-S" (another source claims it was four men's heads making the word F-U-C-K), which was legible from the circle and boxes above.
