Billy: Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut.
George Hanson: Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom.
Billy: What the hell is wrong with freedom? That’s what it’s all about.
George Hanson: Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s what’s it’s all about, all right. But talkin’ about it and bein’ it, that’s two different thangs.

Of course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free, ‘cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are.

Moosehead was our go-to in high school, when we could afford it. Back then, you could only get imports in the liquor store in Oklahoma, and they weren’t allowed to sell cold beer, so we’d also have to pony up for ice and remember to bring a cooler. We drank a lot of warm Moosehead.
