Ask B. Traven...

Dear B. Traven,
Should I, a somewhat socially prominent and reasonably attractive 52 year-old woman, wearing black patent-leather four-inch Barneys heels and a Donna Karan coatdress, go into a Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room with a notoriously ill-behaved but likewise socially prominent adult male, a man I have never met before, to try on an undergarment--a filmy, lilac grey, lacy see-through bodysuit?

Dear E. Jean:
NO!



Dear B. Traven,
If I visit a client in a bad part of town and leave my car unlocked, should I be surprised if my expensive, after-market sound system is stolen?

Dear Dumbfuck:
NO!

Dear Dumbfuck:
NO!

Dear B Traven, should we build a wall on our Southern border?

Dear whomever: We don't need no stinkin' wall.

Damn, I'm just too lazy to search for my Goldhat picture,

The actual quote from the book:

In Traven’s book, the bandit leader replies angrily (and colorfully):

“Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabron and ching’ tu madre!”

Hahaha.



And he actually said this:

“Badges? We ain’t got no badges! We don’t need no badges!
I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!”

Aaaannnnd,

I had forgotten this clip from BLAZING SADDLES:

Does this have anything to do with the B. Traven who closed down his account here a while back?
