“She missed and the robbers fled...”

Range time.

[Inyo-Mono]

Rae Sidney Turner says her sons are innocent and they both have alibis.

At least she didn't say they were "good boys."

[Pelham]

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail"

Yes. I’m reminded of a small town in Missouri that suffered from a local bully some years ago.

Yeah, they made a TV movie out of it about 15-20 years ago. Brian Dennehy played the bad guy -- he is a very fine actor but has a great bad-guy smile and presence. He later got the role of the corrupt sheriff in Silverado, opposite the multiple Kevins.

The TV movie was In Broad Daylight (1991, after Silverado). Dennehy, Cloris Leachman, Chris Cooper, Marcia Gay Harden.

Dennehy also portrayed serial muderer John Wayne Gacy (To Catch a Killer, another TV movie) the very next year .... another "Wayne".

That’s different though.

John Wayne Gacy was a homosexual serial killer.

It minimized the Wayne effect. ;)

[lentulusgracchus]

Well, the poster was saying to avoid people with "Wayne" as their middle name -- 'twould certainly hold true in Gacy's case!

Illinois lawman told an interviewer, a few years later, that whenever he interrogated Gacy, he felt like he had to run and take a shower afterward, the man radiated moral putrefaction.

That is some pretty severe "Wayne-ness", I'll grant you.
