Apropos those last two posts

Yeah, I'm not too creative in the blogging juices recently. Been to busy at work and such. Been in contact with relatives I haven't been in contact with for some time. Sending some home movies to Melody, with whom I had a great chat a few days ago.

But tonight, I just ordered up a beer or three and sank into some youtubin' True Grit goodness. I'd forgotten this particular exchange, the timing on the delivery is impeccable:
Who's the best marshall they have?

Bill Waters is the best tracker. [chuckle] The meanest one is Rooster Cogburn, a pitiless man, double tough, fear doesn't enter into his thinking. I'd have say that L. T. Quinn is the straightest, he brings his prisoners in alive...

Where would I find this Rooster?
Reference.

UPDATE: A little more since WW commented:
Mr. Rat, I have a writ here says you're to stop eating Chin Lee's cornmeal forthwith. Now, it's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same. ,,, See? Doesn't pay any attention to me.

BLAM!
Another reference.

It's better when you watch the whole movie, instead of just snippets.

True enough, WW, but I don't have the time for the whole thing normally. Also, I don't have the whole thing on CD or anything. So I'm stuck with Youtube for now.

You got ten bucks? That's all it costs on DVD from Amazon.com.

The Fifth String said...

Yeah, I should get it. But I have a rather large stack of other DVDs I've picked up cheap that I haven't had time for also.

Damn. I really need to get rich and retire.
