LEGENDS OF THE CHUKKER: "What else could f*ckin' happen?" Bill Hart had Chukker ceiling plaster hit him in the head TWICE in one night in two different locations. Hogdoo was also hit by plaster but Thigpen was not. The holes in the ceiling became THE BILL HART MEMORIAL HOLES but they were finally patched in 1982 by order of the fire marshal.

LARGEST CHUKKER TAB: Brian Hendrix tab for a summer of some forgotten year was $1700. He traded it out by handing over the keys to a 1966 GMC pickup.

CHUKKER PETS: The roaches along with mouse living in the cash register who preferred cashews. Chuck the cat died violently. Mice nests in the pinball machines f*ck up your game.

from the October of 1970 HIGH GUAGE

CHUKKER CHEFS: Chukker Bill had the big old Black lady as his cook and she was often assisted by her sons. The Chukker had square tables covered with checked "Pizza Hut" table cloths and they served steaks on hot metal plates. About 1969, Chunkie (Anderson?) served seafood. In '74 or '75 Steve Underwood and Marshal Hagler served MOTHER CHUKKER'S CHILI. About the same time, Billy and Cynthia Beachum (Mary Peterson? Brian Hendrix?) introduced OM BOY HOWDY HEALTH FOOD. About a year later Brian Hendrix and Bobby Guin served hamburgers, chili and steaks. The famed GUIN SAUCE was both invented and lost to posterity during this period. About '79, James "Wood" Wilson served barbeque and about '80 somebody else served chili and hotdogs. In '87, Bruce Hopper opened a deli and in '88 with the promise of some day publishing a CHUKKER COOKBOOK, potluck meals were served each Friday evening by a guest chef. More details are needed to confirm participants in the GREAT ETOUFFEE THEFT of 1993.

BEST TUSCALOOSA TOWN RUMOR ABOUT THE CHUKKER: Callahan got shot while he was running for mayor and he was in jail on election day which was good because he couldn't get out and get people drunk so they would vote for him. Mickey Kizziah made his bail.

CHUKKER ARTIFACT: The burned out piece of vinyl tile was created by Billy Beachum's Harley.

CHUKKER ARTISTS: Bob Weston, Tom Bradford, Mike Dement, Steve Underwood, Daniel Livingston, John Earl, Bill Caldwell, Marshal Hagler, Fleming Wilson, Ed Hicks, Rich Marks, Lyle Hopper, Cinda Ree McCollum (Bob Weston's mother came in to see Bob's nude over the bar and said, "That's a real nice whore, Bob." )

CHUKKER BEER: Jim Turner wanted to start a boycott of the Chukker when the price of beer went up to 55 cents. Rick and Brian went to the first draft beer school in 1975. At one time the Chukker sold more longneck Pabst Blue Ribbons than any other retail outlet in the southeastern U.S. Euco Beverage wholesaled Pabst in Tuscaloosa and their salesman, Neal, had a great personality and he converted many people to Pabst. He gave away free beer. When Neal switched to Miller, many folks went back to Bud but Bruce and others went over to Miller.

Budweiser cost 40 cents and Pabst cost 35 cents. Quarter Beer was on Tuesday and Thursday nights but "all you can drink" specials were shut down by State ABC in 1985. In January 1982, the bar was moved to the rear so it would be near the plumbing and the bar would be able to serve liquor.

CHUKKER WINNERS: Marsha Barlow won the circa 1985 ICE BLOCK SITTING CONTEST (Marsha had business cards printed for her alter-ego "Jolette DeRitz~ Used Cosmetic Dealer".)

Someone (Rod Walker?) won the Halloween Costume Contest by coming dressed as Bob Weston.

Blanche and Miss Ezell won the BICENTENNIAL BISEXUAL BEAUTY WALK when they came as George Washington's bed.

The Chukker's DICK THE POSTMAN: One time, Dick's third wife asked, "Who was that fat-ass blonde-headed bitch you had your arm around?" It was Harold Ledbetter.

At the viewing before Dick's funeral, Brian Hendrix place a miniature of Absolut Vodka in Dick's pocket.

EPIC CHUKKER FIGHTS: Marshal Hagler versus Bret Leonard

Shelly Jerman versus Steve Knight

Tommy versus Chuck

Larry Travis versus Don Shaver

Clay Abrams versus Butch Booth

Don Maples versus Jimmy Turner

EPIC WESTON CHUKKER SCAM: Bob Weston would hand you a piece of paper and it would say, "Please check the appropriate box." The three boxes were next to three statements: #1~ I might loan Bob some money., #2~ I'll probably loan Bob some money., #3~ I WILL LOAN BOB SOME MONEY.

One time Bruce gave Bob $1.50 and told him he needed to leave the Chukker & go spend it at Egan's. When Bob got to Egan's, Weatherly gave Bob $10 and sent him back to the Chukker.

CHUKKER CHEERLEADERS: At the Chukker Nation versus The Narcs softball game played at Partlow Field, the narcs shook down the Chukker players at second base. Blanche was the head cheerleader with these cheers. "NEEDLE THE NARCS! NEEDLE THE NARCS!" "WHOOF! WHOOF! WHOOF! WE WANT ANOTHER HIT!" "WE WANNA HOMER! WE WANNA HOMER! WE WANNA HOMER-SEXUAL!"

CHUKKER PHILOSOPHER: Chukkerite: "Hey, McMinn, what about unrequited love?"

McMinn: "Is there any other kind of love?"
