"Hooray for the man from Texas!"

"Some bully shot!"

Okay, yes, it was the second greatest line in movie history*, but it's one of the GREATEST exchanges in movie history. Unfortunately, that vid I posted below ended before the culmination of the scene. Which was way cool.

Here is some more of it. If you ever get a chance to see this movie in its entirety, take it.



UPDATE: I'd forgotten this exchange:

"Dammit. That Texan, when you need him he's dead."

"I ain't dead yet, you bushwhacker! Hang on."

[...]

"That Texan. Saved my neck twice. Once after he was dead."

You need to see this movie.

AND MORE:

"We can't leave him like this."

"I'm the one leaving him like this, but if we don't get you to a doctor you'll be deader than he is."

"Little Blackie can't carry us both."

"He'll have to, he's all I could catch."

MORE UPDATE: HAHAHA! Couldn't pass this one up:

"Poor child, she does not know how ill she really is."

"Well, lawyer J. Nobel Daggett, ar you a betting man?"

"On occasion."

"All of this and General Price that Baby Sis makes it back to Yell (sp?) County."

"Oh no. No sir."

Do listen to the whole clip. And to this:

"Well, come and see a fat, old man sometime!"

*Yes, this excludes the Great and Powerful Casablanca. There is too much too cool about that one. But perhaps I will embed some of its coolness sometime.

Second greatest movie line in history

"Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!"



The SINGLE GREATEST MOVIE LINE OF ALL TIME appears not to be currently available on Youtube. For now. But one can always hope. It's from THE GREATEST VOICE IN HISTORY:

"Forgive me for the men I have killed. And those I am about to."

Random observation, apropros of nothing

I really need to teach my nephew to drink decent beer. Seriously.

While I was at the ranch this past weekend, said nephew had bought some "beer". He's a poor, struggling college student and had to go the cheap route, so I shall forgive him this one time. But only this one time. Because in his defense, his Dad told him to grab some cheap stuff. Which he did. In spades.

Now, on a warm day when you're doing lots of manual labor, nothing quenches a thirst like a beer. But since the nephew happened to purchase this vile crap, I had to make do with spring water and Wild Turkey. Not your standard thirst quencher, but it had to do in a pinch until I could get to the store and buy some decent stuff.

[sigh] Life is so hard.

On the upside, for Father's Day, Little Bro the Firefighter got this from his wife and kids. And we watched it. I even stayed up until the end (which was several hours past my normal bedtime).

Very excellent, I highly recommend it.

The Iranian situation

What can we (the U.S.) do to help the opposition?

Send lawyers, guns, and money.

All that and a bag of chips!

The Swillers have been having some server issues. They seem to be up and running now, but the suave and talented Mr. B send along this item for me to post in his absence. His title and commentary, as it would appear if posted there:

How Come He’s Frito-Lay...

... but she’s not?

"A woman pleaded no contest last week to prostitution charges, accused of agreeing to be paid for services with a box of chips by a man who said he was a Frito-Lay employee.

Lahoma Sue Smith, 36, was ordered to pay a fine of $1,142 in municipal court from charges from a February arrest.

… Smith was arrested on complaints of prostitution and suspicion of driving with a suspended license. The man was not arrested.

[End of Mr. Bingley's commentary]

Me again. Oh yeah, she's all that and a bag of chips:

Notice to the FTC

I have accepted absolutely no money for any of my product endorsements.

That's mainly because the manufacturers have offered me none. Cheap bastards.

However, I am perfectly willing to whore myself out to write product endorsements for vast sums of cash. On which I will, of course, pay no taxes unless nominated to a cabinet post.

Uh oh

Hide the women and children!
