What Comes to Mind? (First Thoughts)
I'll start it off with...Pioneer days
Monitor and the Merrimac
American Civil War
Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Gettysburg Address
Ford’s Theatre
John Wilkes Booth
assassination
John F. Kennedy
Neal Armstrong
First space landing
Betty Ross
Well, the first things that come to mind are pizza (not that I've ever had Betsy Ross pizza), and Hamilton. So, I guess, Hamilton. Weird, I know, but that line just popped in my head "waving Betsy Ross's flag higher".
(Does "musical" count??If not, then Aaron Burr)
Shakespeare (in response to musical)

Do you know, I almost said Aaron Burr instead of Hamilton. Because, yk, it's his line. :)
In response to Shakespeare, play.
John Wilkes Booth. (Sorry, I know we've already been down this route, but the first thing I thought of was curtain, so if you want you can go off of that instead, I just didn't think it fit the "keep it historical" rule.
(No that’s fine as far as that route again. Ok what do y’all think about the “keep it historical� part? Honestly I’d be fine with not holding to that too tight)
I'm honestly not sure. I mean, keeping it historical does make it different from all the other First Thoughts games on GR, which I like, but idk.
Yeah idk. What if we allow things like curtains but just try not to let it stray from historical lines too far 🤷🏻♀�
Between two flags (don’t ask why I though of this first because I have no idea. It’s a book series btw)
Well, I'm imagning two flags so.. flag. What's the series about? Is it adult, MG, or YA?
(MG to YA. Prob more MG. I LOVE the series. It’s set in the civil war. Lee Roddy is the author)American
Indians (I’m a chiefs fan 😉)
Me too. :) Well, sort of. I always root for the Ravens as long as they're in, but Mahomes is my favorite player.
Pocahontas (the Disney cartoon used to be my fave)
John Smith (I’ve never seen any Disney princess movies but I LOVE the Pocahontas book that we have.)
compass. (yes, this is a reference to the cartoon, but I can't help it's the first thing I thought of.) Hold on, it took me a second to realize what you said. You've never seen ANY Disney princess movies? AT ALL?
Lewis and Clark (Nope. We watched Cars 1 and 2 but other than that I don’t think I’ve seen any Disney movies. Unless the Lorax was a Disney movie, I saw that when I was babysitting a couple little girls at their house. We don’t watch stuff like that much at all. Well we don’t really watch much at all in general. Lol)
Louisiana purchase
Keep the first thoughts to a short phrase or word and let the games began! Oh and also *whispers* can we keep the first thoughts, y'know, historically themed? *winks*
EDIT: We've decided to turn this into a normal First Thoughts, but historical thoughts would be appreciated.
A few rules (we'll keep them short 😁):
1. Keep responses nice and short
2. Only one post in a row
3. Keep all non game posts in parentheses (If you wanna say something that isn't a short first thought put it in parentheses so there is less confusion)
