Randy Hoofard is a good friend of mine and we spent some time together in more than one honkytonk or beer joint …
We once took 2nd and 3rd place in a “beer belly” contest at “The Midnight Rodeo” in Lubbock, Texas and while neither of us won 1st place I believe that we did drink for free the rest of that night and even collected a “cult following” of some of the bar patrons.
Once in Fort Worth a half a dozen biker types decided to take my spot at the bar when I was away … to which Hoofard replied “that’s my buddy’ chair” … the biker type replied “what are you going to do about it” … to which “The Hoof” replied … “I’ll bleed all over you” … we drink for free the rest of the night!
He never did get that job with Microsoft though ….
