When he played poker, TGIH kept a knife on him. Many a time it had saved his life. He'd even been known to pack a gun or two. Once, in a dispute in one of his favorite stomping grounds, TGIH had to pull the knife on Blacky. That day both had come close to death, but Blacky succumbed to TGIH's blade and cashed in his chips. Most gave him wide berth from then on, knowing TGIH was not to be trifled with.
TGIH loved the ladies and money, especially after he did his stint in the Army. Yes, he was a war veteran. He soon found out he loved poker the best, instead of ‘respectable’ jobs.
Recently one of his best friends died.
A great deal of the time he hung around Texas...but finally realized where the REAL action was. He headed there, arriving by his slightly unusual transportation which was at least reliable. This new exciting town was FULL of ladies, poker, and MANY young suckers with cash in hand. He became a professional gambler, full of tall tales and was even known to stretch the truth a bit… but got to loving his alcohol too much, not surprising, since a pain was growing.
Soon thereafter, he made a friend with a fellow traveler...both had many things in common, rowdy times, drink, adventure and more...both were famous and became more so in this town.
TGHI is known by all. Today he looks down on this city from his high vantage point.
Who was TGIH? What was the town? Who was his famous friend?
May ask yes/ no type questions, make cracks, guesses here on the thread.
