I think " the Terror of Tiny Town"
Clarence was in it, but he isn't listed in credits, this was from a promo tour they did.
Long time ago, when many buffalo roam this plain...
 
You know, I never understood why people don't like that movie.

You got two friends. A and B. They move into the valley and start ranching. The A ranch and the B ranch. A town grows up. A third rancher, C, moves in. His ranch is not as big or as prosperous as A or B.

A has a son. Now that A is old, the son runs the ranch. B has a daughter, back East at school, but now that B is old, the daughter is coming back home to take care of Dad.

A is being rustled. All the clues point to B as the rustler. B is being rustled. All the signs point to A as the rustler. A and B now distrust each other, and are no longer friends.

C is the rustler. He's cleverly leaving signs and clues so that A and B think that each other are crooks. C figgers it will eventually come to a shootin' war, and when the dust settles he will own ALL THREE ranches.

And last but certainly not least, A's son meets B's daughter and they fall in love.

[FONT=&quot]This is classic western melodrama, folks. How can anyone NOT love it?[/FONT]

I'm curious about some of the ones that have been around for years.............not all the computer related/derived stuff. For example, I've been told:

1) TIP........to insure promptness

How was COP derived from police officer?, etc. :D

WDACF? HTFDIK!:D
 
Hope Google was more help for you than it was for me. Could not find WDACF. The other one I figgered out. But that one - ??? :confused:
 
I got What Dumb Donkey :p, and the last two make no sense.

or A Cluster mmmmm, but the first two make no sense.

As I said - confused.
 
There was a show on TV a while back about the brain and on most words only two letters have to be correct usually the first and last and your brain will be able to make it out.:confused:
