Who was tougher, Bad bad Leroy Brown, or Big Jim Walker.

Tale of the tape

Bad Bad Leroy Brown

1) Badder than old King Kong
2) Meaner than a junkyard dog

Big Jim Walker

1) Big and dumb as a man can come but stronger than a country hoss
2) When the bad folks all get together at night you know they all call Big Jim Boss.

Yep. This is a waste of time, but if you like Jim Croce please feel free to discuss his music.

Leroy Brown could kick Jim Walker's ass and still have no friends to show for it. Refresh me, DCD, how did Croce die again?

You know, I don't know. I'm not a real big fan of his, but I do like those two songs and that Taxi one.

Jim is badder then Leroy.. but Big Bad John would whoop em all.

What a deliciously silly question!

Leroy got pummeled for eyeballin' another man's woman while Jim got killed for hustlin' pool. It took a couple hundred cuts and a couple of bullet wounds to take out Jim while Leroy just got into a simple brawl, so I gotta go with Jim.

Maybe I should have included Slim in the poll.

Jim Walker's old school NYC. That's pretty badass too. My buddy Will's from NYC and he's done time upstate. He's in his fifties, smaller than me, and when we practice martial arts he's still stronger. I wouldn't fuck with old school NYC thugs.

I just listened to Big Bad John. Good stuff! I have the Johnny Cash version! ;)

only leroy brown i know is the one from that cheesy kung fu movie where the antagonists always said "sho nuff!"

The Last Dragon. Watch what you're calling cheezy. That's one of the classic camp blacksploitation films.

Who is the masta?

Sho Nuff!

Can anybody remember the name of the song about the guy who races the jackhammer digging a railroad tunnel?

Well, congrats!
Do me a favor, take one of those big shots for me that you know you probably shouldn't take, but then a friend talks you into it. I currently have no vehicle to get to the liquor store, so I'm impatiently waiting for my Friday joy!:(

I've got one of my buddies picking me up, so I can get polluted tonight! I'll pick up my car tomorrow evening. I've got to work during the day. Lately I've been working 53 hour weeks on top of working part time on my own half-ass business.

None of those guys had anything on that ol' Pea-picker Himself-- or was ol' Ern a badass miner?

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you, then the left one will
