Recent I found out something about John Wayne that I didn't know. Turns out that Wyatt Earp, yes the Wyatt Earp of OK Corral fame, was working as a consultant to Hollywood film makers and that a young John Wayne spent a good deal of time hanging out with Wyatt Earp and said that he used that in his western acting.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

That is as awesome to me as knowing that Chuck Yeager was on the set of "The Right Stuff." 
The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

In Panchos he was the old coot that asked if they wanted a drink.

Found that out a couple months ago when I visited the town of Tombstone when I went to Tucson for Hawgsmoke.
