I'm your huckleberry
Howlin' at the Moon ^ | 13 June 2024 | Martin Hackworth

Posted on 06/14/2024 5:33:11 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Yo, you over there in the keffiyeh asking about Zionists on this bus. I'm actually a hillbilly from Appalachia, but for the moment, I self-identify as a Jew. Come on over and let's have a chat.

This is a rant. R-rated: language, depictions of potential violence, graphic insults that may prove discomforting only to “sensitive” people who don’t read Howlin’ anyway. But NSFW if you are using the transcript reader. Thanks for allowing me to vent my spleen.

Yo, you keffiyeh-wearing, anti-Semitic protesters holding hostages in college buildings, defacing monuments and private homes, and threatening people on public buses. Eighty-five years ago, your philosophical forebears got away with facilitating genocide because not enough people saw through their bullshit until it was too late. Unfortunately for you, that was then, and this is now. In the here and now, you mistakenly put way too much stock in how the media and academia think about and handle you with kid gloves, and not enough in what ordinary Americans think about and would handle you if you pulled your shit outside of safe progressive enclaves.

I triple-dog dare you to test this thesis. I'm your huckleberry, and I'm nowhere near the front of the line. Please, please, step onto the bus I'm riding and ask if there are any Zionists onboard. I'll convert to Judaism on the spot. I’ve had about as much as I’m going to take from you clueless, morally-bereft, historically-challenged dipshits. It’s time for a reality check.

My Christmas wish is that the Mossad would plant an explosive device in the middle of these non Americans who detest the Constitution.

Either that or we deport them all back to the hell holes they came from.A lot of these buggers are jihadist Fulbright scolars admitted to the USA to study at our universities and who never returned home, courtesy of Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin and Barrack the Bastid Obama.The state department taught them summer courses on how to use the internet to organize their ARab SPring, skills now used against Jewish Americans.

These PAlestinians in America. MOssad could bl\ow then up real good...thereby ending this desecration and harrassment of America.

Let the post 2025 CIA send out that invitation since they are al;ready conductuing anti MAGA espionage anyway, we need to even things up a bit.

They saying is I'm your huckle bearer. Vil Kilmer's line in Tombstone has been misunderstood.

Huckle is the handle on a casket.

That reads like one very long FR rant post. Terrible writing:

Your fool’s confidence is based on your notion that most of the people in this country are like the woke, compliant media who parrot Hamas’s verifiably false claims about the conflict in Gaza, officials in blue cities, or the intellectually lazy and morally timid academic cowards you are able to steamroll on college campuses.

Genesis 22:

Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

******

Exactly, in Hebrew:

“Hineini! — הִנֵּֽנִי”

******

Well here the **** I AM! Those m***** f****** a******* are gonna have to deal with ME because HERE I AM!

When G-d calls you, you make yourself wholly available.

Grrrrrr.....

Surrendering to YHWH is a religious practice.

It is the offering of body speech and mind.

Val Kilmer has an X post confirming it was said both ways in the movie.

The line was also delivered by Mariette Hartley in an episode of “Bonanza.”

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ‘round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Without question it is huckleberry.

The script also verifies it.

Here is Val Kilmer in 2014-I say both “I’m your huckleberry” AND “I’ll be your huckleberry...” I say it twice in the film.

Historically it is huckleberry and has been used since the 1800s and in old TV shows of the 50s and 60s.

Without question it is huckle bearer. Huckleberry is nonsensical per Webster's dictionary.

How can the script and the actor saying the lines be wrong about it and why have so many other writers and actors been getting the word that has been used since the 1800s wrong?

“The line in the movie, “I’m your huckleberry, that’s just my game” comes DIRECTLY from the 1929 Walter Noble Burns book Tombstone: An Iliad of the Southwest:“Doc, Ringo said, I don’t need but three feet to do my fighting. Here’s my handkerchief. Take hold.” Holliday took a quick step toward him. “I’m your huckleberry, Ringo,” replied the cheerful doctor. “That’s just my game.”

Here are links to examples of “I’m your huckleberry” being used during the 1800s:
