Looks like you've been reading the quotes painted just below the ceiling at the local BevMo™. Wait a second... George Gobel wasn't one of those quoted.....

Nice barrage.

I was drinking w/ a friend from CA recently. We shared stories from bars we'd been in. This is the story he told of a grizzled cowboy drinking in a bar in CA. The cowboy had been there awhile, was over-served and was being thrown out by the bouncer. After being asked to leave, my friend heard him say the following, and I quote:

"I ain't leaving because I ain't never been here before. And you can kiss my ass, that's what you are. And I'm just the guy to do it. Dont 'cha."

And he wandered off into the night.

I can't attest to the validity of the story as we were pretty soused as we exchanged stories, but it seemed post-worthy.
fuck em man, it ain't easy walkin the righteous path.
