There's always some sorta trouble coming down the pike when a man playin' poker says "and I'll raise you..."

It's not "Last Train" and I don't think it's "Stagecoach." I remember it too but I'll have to think on it.

I'm a Pepsi drinker too.

About a quarter. I even married an Italian/Irish girl. 23 years later it's still going strong.

In most Westerns after being out in the desert (almost dying of thirst) the first thing they ask for in a Saloon is a shot of Whiskey.
And the Good Girls wear Bonnets and the Bad Girls-Don't.

Bad girls wear feathers. Or glittery butterflies (if they are Marlene Dietrich) LOL

What's the old joke? "Two Irish men leave a bar..."
And there's a lot of Scotch/Irish in my family. Probably the disreputatble kind.

Tracey, there are only 4 acceptable reasons for any Irishman to leave any bar:
1) Closing time
2) Getting arrested
3) Dropping dead
4) Tardiness in taking his business to another bar

Back to basics:
Just as in the 40's movies a runaway car always runs into a flower vendor wagon, in the western, a runaway wagon, or stage always tips over when making a turn off of main street.

Anne:
Along that same line a wagon always manages to come unhooked from the horses as it gets to the edge of a cliff. This is regardless of how long it has run, no matter the terrain or turns involved.
How did I miss this one?

Some nostalgic viewing of an old Lonesome Dove rerun brought this one to my attention last week:
A fairly static scene, perhaps indoors, perhaps around a campfire, etc. A
plot-advancing conversation may be underway. Then a horse whinnies in
the middle distance. It heralds the approach of new characters who will advance or turn the plot in some manner.
Stuck away somewhere in my old Lit 101 notes is a comment that this device is called a "French Scene". Supposedly it was first noted in scripts
from the French Theatre that the arrival of new characters advanced or
changed the plot. But instead of using Stage Right door, the oaters used
the nicker of an ofscreen animal to begin the change.
