Not every disagreement is worth arguing about, no one is wrong here because on the one hand what you said (and what Sterben said too) is more like Duke's version because you said it in the same order that Duke does, but on the other hand yours was closer to the original because you said "came here to" instead of "it's time to".
Dude, the order in which he said kicking ass and chewing bubblegum is irrelevant. You can put those in whichever order you like and it doesn't bear on whether the sentence makes sense or not, in light of the reference(whichever reference you prefer, it doesn't matter). But the way Sterben put it was wrong because of what it meant, not how it sounded. I took issue with the meaning, not the rolling off the tongue thing.
I'm not looking to prove anyone "wrong" exactly, I'm merely concerned with what is a good phrasing of this expression so that it successfully traces back to either reference you prefer(it doesn't matter which one you do).
