Shakespearean-like intro aside, I think you're totally correct, Parker. There's a 'charm'* in Ronnie's asides, his malapropisms, and his Ronnie-isms. Hollywood calls it a Q-Factor. It's something, as it has White beginner lifters shouting his stuff across my gym floor. Can't say I've ever heard, or recognized a Jay quotation.

Thanks doc, I did notice that after I wrote it. Imagine saying that to some kid in a bar, displeased at his results of trying get laid, you raise your glass, swill a little in your mouth, and in a deadpan voice, "it's not a matter of getting laid, it's the matter of demeanor", the kid takes in this profound saying, and takes it to heart, and becomes a pussy slayer. This of course is a updated version of "Its not what you say, but how you say it."
flexb, Ronnie has that downhome Southern Style, that Cab Calloway, "Everybody Eats When They Come To My House" type of attitude. That people gravitate to.
And as Dr. chimps said, he had and still does have people saying his "sayings". There is a certain "charisma" he has, kinda like a Micheal Clark Duncan---Big muscular Negro, but cool...it's kinda a switcher-roo, whereas with Jay, what you see is what you get---Raisin Bland.
