gunfight

[onlycafe]

well it was one hundred and twenty five years ago today in tombstone, arizona. a skirmish between the earps and the clantons, doc holiday and a few others.
by the way, the O.K. was short for old kinderhook corral.
i will be raising a glass to toast the hostilities and the combatants, join me if you feel like it.
and remember, there is nothing wrong with shooting, as long as the right people get shot.

i prefer a winchester mod.97 hammer pump for anything within pistol range. classy,vintage, and devastatingly effective.

I send in cruise missiles then carpet bomb, then repeat.

Nuke 'em til they glow and shoot 'em in the dark.

Old Kinderhook was an endearing nickname given to one of the Presidential candidates around the mid 1800s. I can't remember which one right now, but it was supposed to engender positive feelings & encourage votes. That's where OK came from.

We've been to Boothill....It's like steping back into time, but in a creepy way.......except of course for the souvenir shop that you have to walk through to get to it.

did you see the sign behind the bar at big nose kate's saloon?
it says "drink 'til she's cute."

What did the Earps and Clantons do in Tombstone when they weren't spoiling for a fight? Why, they partied like you and I, Dude! In this rare photo, Wyatt Earp is seated on the left with a drink in one hand and a cigar in the other. Seated on the right is Dodge City gambler Luke Short. That's Doc Holliday standing behind Wyatt with his arm around Tom McLaury, one of his victims in the OK Corral fight. The tall fellow in the white suit is Ike Clanton. Leaning over is Morgan Earp and the cocky looking kid on the far right is Billy Clanton. Notice how many are wearing party hats.

Great picture.

I will have to watch Tombstone this weekend. I know that it is just a movie and not historically correct but it does kick ass.
