San AntonKeo

Over the holiday weekend I went out to San Antonio to witness the first BLC member to graduate from bootcamp and become a member of the United States Air Force. Along the way I did find my way into a few of the local saloons just to see if there might be signs of other intelligent life forms on the other side of the Mississippi…. Jury is still out.

Before I left Jeff Carvalho of www.highsnob.com stopped by the shop with this gem of a t-shirt. I told him that I wanted to get one for my trip to Texas and he needed to let me know where he got it. He did not offer up the location though… He must be an even bigger fan than I am if he is not willing to share where he got his Eddie Murphy t-shirt.

When in Rome do as the Roman’s, when in Texas do as the people that snuck across the boarder.

Leaping Lizards was a little dive bar near the telly… They serve “Big Ass Beers” (60oz) every night of the week, and along with that special they have shot specials on Fridays…. I asked my chemist and got a snake bite…. That consisted of Jack, and tobasco sauce. In true BLC fashion I did not shy away from the challenge, in fact I bought the cowboy next to me one when he thought it was funny that I had to do whatever the bartender made. I held mine down.

I guess snake bites are not for everyone.

At another bar I won the “who doesnt have a pair of Wraglers on, and has the majority of their teeth contest”… Grand Prize, this nifty pair of game worn Brad Miller player exclusives.

I had never had the honor of drinking a vintage Heineken, but they had some old ones at the bars in Texas. I ordered one and the bartender said “We dont drink that shit that those I-Talians make”. I didnt touch it, I just took the dusty warm beer and walked away. They eventually warmed up to me and retired a jersey recognizing BLC’s relentlessness.

“We will be opening the bar shortly, Sir”… “Ok cool I will just play this here guitar until you decide to open”.

King of Beers!

“Legand states”??? Makes you really wonder how acurate history is. This happened less than 200 years ago, and it wasnt accurately recorded…. Yet these Texas take every word in the Bible as 100% accurate. Fuck it, if “Legand States” is good enough…. Legand states the Sponge jumped Springfield Gorge on a skateboard years before Bart Simpson ever attempted it. Now that this is on the internet, and I said “Legand states” its the truth.
