True Grit

Esquire recently did an interview with Clint Eastwood, in which he basically promises that he still gargles rocks and shits slabs of concrete.

"I was a shy kid. But a lot of my childhood was spent punching the bullies out. We live in more of a pussy generation now, where everybody’s become used to saying, “Well, how do we handle it psychologically?” In those days, you just punched the bully back and duked it out. Even if the guy was older and could push you around, at least you were respected for fighting back, and you’d be left alone from then on. I don’t know if I can tell you exactly when the pussy generation started. Maybe when people started asking about the meaning of life."
God damn that's a tough old bastard! Everybody enjoys making their "Chuck Norris is _______" facts, but Clint's the real deal. He never sold exercise equipment and didn't back a political candidate in the election because he's the only one he'd vote for. I'd be afraid of the old codger in a dark alley. Or AARP meeting.
