Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

I'm thinking of the line about putting "a few more in the ground"...Don't forget one of the best lines, ever, in a country music song by Hank Williams, Jr, about hearing about his friend that got killed by a "man with a switchblade knife...for $45 my friend lost his life...I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eye...and shoot him with my ol' 45...A country boy can survive, a country boy can survive.

Harlem Store Owner Shoots 4 Robbers, Killing 2. (NY Times):

They strode into the restaurant supply store in Harlem shortly after 3 p.m. on Thursday, four young men intent on robbery, one with a Glock 9-millimeter pistol, the police said. The place may have looked like an easy mark, a high-cash business with an owner in his 70s, known as a gentle, soft-spoken man. . . . The first shot took down the gunman at the front. He died almost immediately, according to the police, who said he was 29 and had been arrested for gun possession in Queens last year and was the nephew of a police officer. Mr. Augusto’s other two blasts hit all three accomplices, who stumbled out the door, bleeding. . . .
