There was a woman named Mary Sweeny who, in the 1890s through the early 1900s, went around Wisconsin doing coke and smashing windows. Lots and lots of windows. So many, in fact, that she became known as the Wisconsin Window Smasher in the press.

Feel free to look her up; there's more to her story (of course). The Owlbear might write poetry and short fiction, but this is all verifiable and attested in newspapers of the day.

Why am I telling you this?

... why *wouldn't* I tell you this? How did I only find out about this today? And when does Mary Sweeny get her own HBO series? The Gilded Age my Aunt Fanny; I wanna watch The Window Smasher.
