I think its just good business to take a pot shot at a customer every now and then. Just like the good ole days when Al was a young boy.

I know some people might disagree, but now folks who go in there will be sure to have plenty of cash complete with a good tip! I would not risk the chance of a credit card decline or failure. No wooden nickels. No washing dishes.

As for complaining to the chef, that problem is virtually eliminated! Every meal is the best you've ever had! (if you know what's good for you) Nobody spits chewing tobacco on the floor anymore - they use the spittoons like they have some manners.

Patrons are now much more quiet and well behaved. Less cussing and swearing. They even wipe their feet at the door. The bathroom is twice as clean and some customers even volunteer to clean it!

Yep maybe Colby was just born in the wrong time.....

Interesting!

It just so happens that the real Al Swearengen, history's notorious proprietor of the Gem Saloon back in the days of Wild Bill Hickock, would most likely have behaved in the same fashion as his modern day counterpart Colby, with the possible exception that Al would'nt have bothered tipping up the barrel.

Of course we all know, Al wouldn't have used a gun.. he prefers to work close up :-)

Good thing about Al though.. first drink is always on the house.

LMAO. I have never seen a whole episode of 'Dead Wood' before. I tried once. But they used the "F-word" once ever 60 seconds. I have kids in the house. I can only use the pause button so often without loosing the "effect".

In any case, I take a like'in to old Al. One of my favorite old movies is "Bite the Bullet" starring James Cogburn and Gene Hackman. I also like "true grit" and "rooster cogburn". I like Catherine Hepburn as well.

The LateNight bar is complete. It even has a japanese maple on display! I vote for a crawfish boil next spring (mar-apr) at the LateNight bar! Maybe this site should raffle off some tickets to a crawfish boil at the LateNight bar!!? (ducking)
