Tuff Guys

When I was back in Springfield I had unwittingly become part of a group of Fellas known as the Tuff Guys. Mostly, all it took be in this club was, besides a vast wealth of pop culture knowledge, you had to be pretty good at talking smack. I had become good as this through years of working in a kitchen... if you don't talk smack your weak. So luckily, always being fairly witty I just turned my wit into smack and boom I was unstoppable. Tough Guy Icons include Bruce Willis' John McClane from Die Hard and Kirk Russell's Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China.

So part of being a tough guy had some hard fast rules.

Number 1: You always called each other tuff. As in "'sup Tuff."

Number 2: You not only had to know how to play the drinking game asshole, but you had to play it tuff. Making people drink for silly reasons "you skipped me last hand, right? Finish your beer."

And Number 3: If your drunk, you will invariably do something tough.

I think my tuff colors came out one float trip where I managed to out wit everyone and did my first beer bong.

Well, I think if I was going to open an Austin Chapter of the TGA (Tuff Guy Assoc.) then I've found the fellas.

Last night, my buddy Cecil and I took a night off work specifically to play some Playstation. About 10 we headed over to our (new) normal haunt Rack Daddy's. This also happens to be within walking distance of my house SO I LOVE IT.

Anyway, a group of six sat around drinking beer quoting films, and laughing loud and hard. And another part of the tuff club involves someone known as the Wild Card. In Springfield his name was Travis Carter. Travis, one time, walking home from a bar, ran through a field, I think he thought he was in war time or something, he made his way to the a highway walking home and eventually a police officer pulled the car over just to offer him a ride home. Cater wouldn't take the ride because he thought he'd go to jail. He finally agreed to the ride as long as he could sit in front.

Our wild card down here is named Garret. Garret somehow started a game a strip poker with 2 girls and the 3 guys. Garret is the guy your afraid to get drunk with because you may end up in a Mexican prison. And only living 4 hours from the border that COULD happen.

Long Live the TUffs.

And now, your moment of zen. At least back in the day I was the only one copying from the daily show.
