Was I The Only One . . .


Who wondered as a kid about this rich "Jackson Queens" guy the Mavericks were living on in the theme song?

'Course, I also thought we were pledging allegiance "to the Republic for Richard Stands," and that Paladin's first name was "Wire."

Yeah, you are the only one. The only one in all of Creation.

Unfortunately, you are not the only one who refuses to finish a freaking sentence. Do you think that’s cute, like up-talking?

We didn't know about Jacks and Queens because we didn't play cards, so Jackson Queens made more sense to our young minds.

I personally liked singing that lovely yuletide tune, "O, Cannon Bomb." 😉
