88... why don't you just edit your previous post? I've never seen someone post so many times and say so little.

completely different but a very good western was "The Shootist"  as I get older I guess I like the washed up heros.

obviously i dont agree with you as i have some sense of self worth and usually feel that i am saying something...but i can assure you that my intentions have nothing to do with you.

its just how i do my thing.  feel free to ignore or squelch me or whatever.

i wont be offended.

glad we talked.  though im not sure why you are complaining about my posting frequency and then engaging me with a question.

I thought "Unforgiven" was one of the best westerns.

Actually I engaged you with a question followed by an observation. You really should go outside for some fresh air... and leave your tinfoil hat inside.

well thank you good doctor for your observations.  were i to be argumentative i might say that you really should leave the psychiatry to the professionals.

but then it occurs to me that maybe you are just being my friend and to react that way would be to assume that you do not mean well. (as i am sure that must...and that you mean no insult.)

so.  tonight i go out with beads in hand to toss them and watch boobies as far as the eye can see.

happy fat tuesday good doctor. (wink)

i am healed and your services are no longer required.

 Wayne wasnt washed up. He was dying and he knew it.
That was in large part why he made that movie.

I gotta admire the Duke.
Did all his own stunts even after having a lung removed.
survived several bouts with cancer which is what eventually got him
And at the end he waved off all pain meds so he could be coherent enough to be with his family.

Wasnt a "great" actor but he made great movies.

Great movie.

One of my favorite lines in it was made by a woman chasing after Wayne and Ohara.

"Here you are sir. Heres a good stick to beat the lady"

"here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady."

I thought the best "line" was when Barry Fitzgerald was chasing them on the tandem and he in the carraige, and his horse automatically stopped in front of the pub, as it had been doing daily for years.
