Jake: No, I didn’t. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

RE Tombstone:

I loved that movie!!! The lady that played Josie - Dana Delaney - was gorgeous.

“Unforgiven” with Eastwood has some great moments in it too.

Especially the scene at the end, where he comes in the bar and just lays waste.

No Carl the greenskeeper quotes, and no ‘Lighten up, Francis’ so this list is suspect right out of the gate.

Surely, you can't be serious!

“Sir, Custer was a pu$$y...you ain’t!”

That was a real quote, at least according to the Bio I read of CSM Plumley.

With 5 combat jumps to his credit, IMO he was qualified to make that judgement. :-)
