Cowboy Sketch

Who doesn't love a good western? An old John Wayne movie like "Rio Bravo", or Tom_Selleck in "Quiggly Down Under", or Clint_Eastwood in any of the old spaghetti westerns, (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More..., etc), or my personal favorite, "The Magnificent Seven".

The quotes alone are enough to make these movies last throughout the ages. "Rio Bravo": John Wayne to Dean Martin..."...Sorry don't get it done, Dude.", or "Quiggly Down Under": Tom Seleck to Alan Rickman, "...I said I never had a use for one, I never said I didn't know how to use it.". "A fist full of dollars": Clint Eastwood to 5 'bad guys'..."My mule don't like you laughing. He might get the funny idea that you're laughing at him..."

From the old black and white shows like "Rawhide" to the big screen productions like "3:10 to Yuma" I can keep watching them. They never get old. The way the hero never gives up, even when he knows that he that he could die. Out numbered, but never out classed, our true cowboy rides out to face danger and never thinks twice about it. A six gun in one hand and the reigns of a good horse in the other. Just like Gary Cooper in "High Noon". He deals out a style of justice that only Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, and one of the best Western actors of all time, Sam Elliot could deal out, like in the movie "Tombstone". Just let the bullets fly and the guilty will fall.

If you insulted someone then you better have the nerve, the grit, and the speed to back it up. A show down in the street at high noon is never over done. You want to challenge the Sheriff and try to take over the town? You'd better think twice, because he's not only the Sheriff, he's one of the fastest guns in the West and he don't take no lip from no one, just like James Garner in "Support Your Local Sheriff".

I could honestly gone on all day, naming movies and quoting lines, but somewhere there is a little girl wondering why her picture is not on this blog yet. Don't worry Dumpie. It's on the way. It will be the next one, I promise.
