"Boy Howdy" is a danged nuisance

[acehighmarshall]

There's been a burr in my saddle for approximately a month now, and I don't like it one bit. All you regulars at the Gust know what I'm referrin' to, I'm sure. Another saloon's in my territory and rustling away my business! The line-up across the street wrapped around the entire block on opening day! Even now whenever I look out the window, I see a

"House of Chorizo"? That's pretty good, I'll need to remember that one.

Hey, now. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. You know how much they pay the waiters in there?

[acehighmarshall]

For throwing away their dignities? A good sum, I'm betting.

[fragrant_coffee]

You'd win that one, Tex.

Their coffee is pretty good, too.

[acehighmarshall]

Huhn. I would've guessed it to be brown gargle.

...How do you know all this anyway?

Come now, there doesn't seem much harm in such a restaurant, even if it does possess questionable "authenticity". There's room enough in this city for two themed saloons.

Kate is a shrewd businesswoman; I'm sure she'll find a solution to this dilemma soon enough.

[acehighmarshall]

......Somehow I ain't surprised you're taking their side.

[lunar_skye]

And what's that supposed to mean, exactly?

[acehighmarshall]

You know.

I hear ya, man. Some of those divas keep running over to the parking lot and give me grief. Especially the ones with cameras. I don't need all of this aggravation when I wanna go drink, man.

[acehighmarshall]

With a side job like yours, you should've been pulled high 'n' ready to deal with attention of that sort twenty four-seven, I reckon.

[wrightswrongs]

Think they're in need of a pianist?

[acehighmarshall]

Don't cross that line, pardner. They just wanna regard you as a well-dressed piece of meat.

[wrightswrongs]

All the better; that means I wouldn't have to do much!

Oho! House of Chorizo, huh? You adding sausage to the menu, pal?

And hey, no worries! You'll always have my business. It doesn't really matter how the waiters dress as long as the food is cheap and tasty, y'know?

[acehighmarshall]

No Dick, I'd say we've got enough sausage here as is.

Hmph! I bet their food ain't nothing to crow about.

[duck_gimshoe]

I'm sure you're right, pal. We all know you're the only real cowboy around these parts.
