We deal in lead.


Well there are still Steve McQueen fans out there. Or Yul Brenner is a lot more popular than I thought he was. The results of our poll as to your favorite Western without John Wayne or Clint Eastwood is as follow:

Magnificent Seven 24
Wild Bunch 14
Shane 9
Ride the High Country 4
Gunfight at OK Corral 3

Once again my pick lost as I am a big fan of Gunfight at OK Corral. One of the best parts of it is how Frankie Lane sings over the action. It was parodied so well in Blazing Saddles. Every little thing he sang a voice over.

"A piss....a piss....can't miss...can't miss.....When the toilet seat is down if you miss the wife will frown and send you to die....at the Gunfight at OK corral."

Sometimes I sing everything we do in a Frankie Lanie voice. Drives the wife crazy.

Next up, which sitcom wife would you like to be married to.

The top two are set in Mexico, aren't they? So they are Southerns, not Westerns.

Its the horses and hats that make it a Western lohwoman.

Well, and the guns. It ain't a Western if it ain't got guns.
