Bronx Banter: Repoz: Lasting Yankee Stadium Memory #8

Jor-El Tiante pointed out this dissonant viola jazz:

Years before beers started pouring like spit in a schoolyard, before a gangplank of stringy flesh had been constructed between Jonah Hex’s crevisious lips, before the sweet ravages of gutter-twang swept me off my cleats…there was Michael Burke. Punk hero.

That reads like it's been run through the Babel Fish a few times. I'm guessing English-Portugese-Korean-Afrikaans-English. (I kid, I kid.)

Wow, I thought this would get some discussion but it got yosted by it's own petard.

Jonah Hex -- Great comic. None of that fancy-pants "shoot the gun out of his hand" nonsense. Gut shoot 'em. Lynch 'em. Kick 'em off a cliff.

A bounty hunter with a heart of stone.

I confused Jonah Hex with Jonah Jameson there.

Blair Tool sounds like gay porno star.
