Terry told me he was "gonna get some of that" at the bar the other night. He got a beer...

Terry going to check out some "models"

This is from a conversation that Terry and I had over several beers one night...
It was getting funnier and funnier the drunker Terry got, so I decided to call home and have him talk to my answering machine. And he did it!

Terry Ricks on his 'stache

Keeper: Mustaches aren't so much in fashion with men under 40 these days...
But you wear yours proudly. Or should I say defiantly?

Terry Ricks: Nah... the 'stache is just... it gives you a lot of confidence. You know? It's like shaving your balls. When it's time to close the deal, and you know the guy across the table doesn't shave his balls... it just gives you that edge. It's a psychological thing. You know what I mean?

Keeper: [laughing] Really? And what kind of deals are you closing with that thought in mind?

Terry: I don't know. Anything really. It even helps when you're closing the deal with a lady. It's just an edge. You know?

Keeper: Yeah...

Terry: Couple weeks ago I sold this kid a case of shit beer for a 300% profit... You know that guy didn't shave his balls.

Two for one table dances... Terry signals for a "fair catch".

Here are some observations about Terry (in no particular order). Most of them are direct quotes... things he's told me about himself.

Terry is a truck driving man

In the beginning there was Terry...

I met Terry Ricks about two years ago. A friend and I thought it would be fun to check out this dive bar on the outskirts of Atlanta (Debbie's Trackside - burned down last Christmas). We figured we'd have a quick beer and check out the locals... we hadn't counted on meeting someone like Terry.

My buddy and I ordered a couple of beers, and sat down at the bar to soak up the "atmosphere". There was a guy at the other end of the bar with a mustache, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and big "blue blocker" sunglasses. He said his name was Terry Ricks, and he was there "drinking his last paycheck."

So that was that. We struck up a conversation, and a couple of beers turned into one *very* long night...
