Believe me when I say, if I had known the number, and if I hadn't left my phone in the car, I would've totally called him!

Right in the middle of 'The Old, Rugged Cross'.



P.S. Dear Cancer, Fuck you.

Sorry for the thread hijack.

Don't be sorry. That's awesome.

When I die, want you to dress me in straght laced shoes
A box back coat and a Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys know I died standin' pat.

Sounds like the deceased beat you to it Gravdigr. e.g. putting the 'fun in it'.

Cue highly inappropriate (or appropriate, depending) musical ring tone.

Hah, he did didn't he?! I forgot about that...

The guy did like to laugh.

:D

No more buffalo.

There must be some, somewhere, because they sell buffalo meat at Whole Foods.

There are, several national parks and a shitload of private herds.

Yep. McMurtry is using the lack of true free ranging (not free range™) buffalo as a metaphor for growing up or old or giving up the illusion of freedom. Or its just a song.
