Have you ever looked fear in the eye?
Have you ever looked at your face in the mirror?
Have you ever held up a picture of yourself at 18
As you looked in the mirror and thought
What happened?

Hey, y'all. I'm pouring out my thoughts right now while the bartender pours me another beer here at the Scramble Dog Thunder Lounge. It used to be two different establishments — Scramble Dog Tavern and Thunder Lounge, but then they got combined after the connecting wall was knocked down by a fire. The Henley police never caught the arsonist who did it, but if the co-owners of the SDT ever find him, they're gonna thank him for doing such a clean job. No water or structural damage — just one wall burned to a crisp. We'd all like to know his secret.

I get a free beer every time I come in to the SDT, seeing as how I used to be a local celebrity. But I usually negate that free beer by buying five more in a row. That's how they get you. Nothing's free, y'all. Not really.
