George Hayduke was a founding member
of the Monkey Wrench gang.
He measured driving distances not in miles,
but in the amount of beer required to make the trip.)

Good old Duke.
My father-in-law was a huge Wayne fan. One Christmas, we gifted him with a nice life-size posterboard stand-up John Wayne photo, standing there looking very Dukeish in his western dudes and holding a rifle. He probably appreciated that more than many of the other Xmas gifts we came up with over the years.
Hey, does the expression "Fountains of Wayne" have anything to do with John Wayne?
No, FOW was named after Fountains of Wayne, the (sadly) now defunct store in Wayne, New Jersey that sold, of all things, fountains and ornamental statuary items. It was also featured in an episode of The Sopranos.
