Notably Quotable

One of the best things about poker night at the Killer Bee's is the amazingly broad selection of music pumped over his stereo. When the shuffle button is pressed on his MP3 player, don't be surprised to hear Modest Mouse, Poison and Bob Dylan back to back to back.

Staying true to his Wisconsin northwoods roots, the Killer Bee's a big fan of country music. None of that friends in low places or strawberry wine shit though, I'm talkin' real country music about whiskey, jail cells and boning your cousin. One of the Bee's favorites is a guy named David Allan Coe, who had a big hit with "Take This Job And Shove It" way way back when.

Coe's a somewhat bitter man, and it sure doesn't seem like much has gone right in life for him. So it's no surprise that on an extra bad day, he penned an ode to Jimmy Buffett which I heard for the first time last night. Lyrics are here...they're priceless.
