Pugilist

I had a discussion with Roadrunner and Joe at church on Sunday evening about movies and actors who play in them. They are both big movie goers that track and dissect the role of the actor and debate the effectiveness of that actors role in the movie. Me - way over my head. I, However, do enjoy a good movie and up to now have been pretty good at filing away memorable lines from good movies. Forrest Gump, Tombstone and Young Guns (1 of course) are my favorite movies to quote from. I can come up with just about any retort by quoting lines from these two movies. Really, Forrest Gump is enough. However, if you really want to get your point across, you must add in the movies Tombstone young Guns. It's a bit more harsh on the language but has some really interesting lines.

Again - this morning I have to remind someone I am Pugilist!




Examples.

You are nearby a co-worker when he/she is paged: "Run Forrest Run!" -Jenny
You are sitting in a long meeting when you lean to the person next to you: "Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here."-Jenny
You are geocaching with your buddies: "I gotta find Bubba!" - Forrest
You are standing over a broken lawn mower when your wife walks into the garage: "stupid is as stupid does." - Forrest
You stand there with people looking at you like they want to hear more: "That's all I have to say about that." - Forrest
Someone just tells you they are sick: "Do you have a cough due to cold?" - Forrest
and in just the right spot (you figure out when) "You're momma sure does care about your education, son." - Principle



Now to be a little more harsh.

You want out of a conversation: "I'm not a pistoleer or a knifesmith like that greaser Chavez Chavez over there. I'm a pugilist. But, I wouln't imagine you would understand what that ment." Charley Bowdre - Young Guns
Someone has just cut you down: "Well, I've had you pegged as the type that likes... educatin' young men. " Murphy - Young Guns
Some points to the fact that you shouldn't be doing that: "Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here." Ike Clanton - Young guns
After you find a not so funny bumper sticker on your truck placed by a "said" friend: "I could've killed ya Dick. I could've killed ya. But I don't wanna kill ya.. I wanna eat. " Billy the Kid - Young Guns
When someone tells you something really obvious: "Thank you very much Charlie!" - Doc - Young Guns
You've just replied with a great come back and they stand there speechless: "You gonna do somethin'? Or are you just gonna stand there and bleed?" - Wyatt Earp - Tombstone.
Something catches your eye: "Did you guys see the size of that chicken?" Steve Stephens - Young Guns
Your geocaching in a strange town and seem not to be noticed: "where in the spirit world - they can't see us!" - Steve Stephens - Young Guns
Time to rumble: "I want your blood. And I want your souls. And I want them both right now!" Johnny Ringo - Tombstone.
You're cornered: "I have two guns, one for each of ya." - Doc Holliday - Tombstone
For you women: "I'm a woman, I like men. If that means I'm not "lady-like", then I guess I'm just not a lady! At least I'm honest." Josephine - Tombstone
Relaying a message: "You tell 'em I'M coming... and hell's coming with me, you hear?" - Wyatt Earp - Tombstone
You just won a good hand of cards: "Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!" Doc Holliday - Tombstone.


One of my top favorites (you can use it in a lot of occasions): "I'll be your huckleberry." - Doc Holliday - Tombstone


I could go for a while - but you and I are both tired.
