Pass the Red Bull and let me pour you a vodka shot. Its a rollicking read and not for the faint of heart or the literati who hold themselves above such genre conventions.

Six-Gun in Cheek contains hundreds of similar one-liners, longer excerpts, plot summaries, anecdotes, historical tidbits and little-known biographical facts about the wordslingers who perpetrated them. Dont we want to read the best the genre has to offer and shovel the worst behind the couch so company cant see it? No we dont, because with lines like, A bullet had found its way to some portion of Brads anatomy that was resenting it (from Outlaws of Caja Basin), and, He had learned to do without women until Poppy Ames unleashed his libido and put it out in front where he could really see it (from The Gunfighters), we all want to grab the vodka and Red Bull and slide into the booth at the local watering hole ready to read and laugh a lot more.
