Born In Boston, Mass, on January 11, 1810. Died in the house he was born in exactly 70 years later.

Grandson of Allen Wimbley Slippers.

Around 1850 he began publishing articles in learnéd journals asserting that La Ligue d'Agenda de la Pinque was the victim of a kind of "fiendish tarnishing". In his articles, he stated that the League was wildly misunderstood. A calumny had been cast. In Slipper's eye's, the League had a more noble purpose than the derivise load ascribed by earlier "scholars". He never regretted his thesis, despite the derision he suffered from esoteric circles, summed up by Albert Pike's truculent epithet: "Never was so great a fool wrapped up in so kind a body."

He was not alone, however. In 1855, John Morris, grandson of Guvernor Morris, published a broadside entitled The Pink League, A Calumny Refuted.

This article is a woefully incomplete, perhaps you should do something about that (http://plastictub.vaporslave.com/index.php?title=Franklin_Slippers&action=edit).

Woop ye may, yet deny thee the beast on thy fellow breast? -- central thesis of Slipper's fist, delivered to the mouth only moments before a warning.

Slipper's great-nephew invented the shopping cart and the yellow light. Never, perhaps, were so many pedestrian deaths delayed.
