Reminds me check out the first Monte Walsh made around 1970 with Lee Marvin and Jack Palance. Very good western.And who can forget the race to the outhouses in Monte Walsh.
and no horses ever broke from from one, hmmmmm . . . . .Apparently, no one in the old west knew how to build a railing that wouldn’t break if someone bumped against it!
I watched a segment of The Texan just the other night and as he and another cowboy rode along you could see the background move up and down and not them. Too funny .....And in The Virginian, the same herd of cattle change from longhorns in the desert to Herefords in green grass from one scene to the next.
Add Long Riders (even had realistic fly buzzing sound effects).I don't know that I've ever even seen an outhouse in most TV westerns. Only movies I can think of offhand where one is shown or mentioned is in Pale Rider and Blazing Saddles.
Back in the 70's, a friend and I had a conversation with a guy born in 1880's who was a logger in the far West. We asked him if he ever saw a gunfight, ala the Westerns popular on TV. He said he saw several, and when we asked him if they faced down one another and then quick-drawed like the popular Westerns, he said "Oh, no! - They'd sneak up and then they took aim!"I guess gunfighters and cowboys learned to draw, point and shoot very quickly with reasonable accuracy. The only concept of aimed fire I see in the 20th century Westerns is guys shooting with a rifle. ...
Yeah, the bad guy gets offed in the ****ter by the 'Schofield Kid'.Also in Young Guns and Unforgiven.
PS: It seems that the programming guys need to work on the word censor routine.Yeah, the bad guy gets offed in the ****ter by the 'Schofield Kid'.
Over the years I have worked with French, Swiss, Italian, German, and other European nationals. To a fault they are all enamored of the notion of the "Wild West". They want to live in Tee Pees, smoke pipes, wear buckskin, just about any cliche' you can think of, they are all in. Pretty funny stuff!
It sounds fun, but after awhile it ain't so fun anymore. Trust me.To be fair, that does sound pretty fun..............![]()
Well no wonder! You need a mirror with that gun!I've been shooting for 60+ years and could never develop my skills enough to shoot from the hip and hit a consistent 3 inch group at 20 yards.

Like I said earlier, I've done the teepee thing before and probably wouldn't choose one as a vacation shelter. But, If I go to Alaska, I'd kinda like to stay in an igloo. Mongolia? Where's the yurts? Now back in their home country of Germany, is there a bed and breakfast in a bunker?Talked to two Germans when I stopped here in Holbrook, AZ.View attachment 757550
