\u201cMan, that guy\u2019s bullshit is getting old fast,\u201d Tex Tai Chi said to his buddy Zack Pasadena at the bar of the Short Twig Saloon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo kidding,\u201d Zack replied. \u201cIt\u2019s getting pretty deep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The newcomer, Romar Goulet, a gaucho from Argentina, had been boasting about his manly exploits and belittling the cowboys in the bar about their inferior skills; roping, riding, shooting, lovemaking and especially, drinking. American cowboys were no match for the rugged gauchos from South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goulet noticed Tex and Zack at the end of the bar. Ah, two he hadn\u2019t badgered yet. He stood next to Tex and slammed his half-empty fernet<\/em> bottle on the bar top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTwo more soft cowboys drinking beer,\u201d he slurred. \u201cWhy don\u2019t you two sissies try a man\u2019s drink for a change?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He slid the bottle into Tex\u2019s chest. Tex grabbed it and cracked it over Goulet\u2019s noggin, who dropped to the floor like cow plop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat\u2019ll be enough of your shit,\u201d Tex said. \u201cYou pampas<\/em> ass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMan, that guy\u2019s bullshit is getting old fast,\u201d Tex Tai Chi said to his buddy Zack Pasadena at the bar of the Short Twig Saloon. \u201cNo kidding,\u201d Zack replied. \u201cIt\u2019s getting pretty deep.\u201d The newcomer, Romar Goulet, a gaucho from Argentina, had been boasting about his manly exploits and belittling the cowboys in the bar … Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1025,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/nikola-jovanovic-QGPmWrclELg-unsplash.jpg?fit=640%2C428&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=998"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":999,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/998\/revisions\/999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/underwoodpress.com\/truechili\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
