  1. So a pop up came in into my news feed earlier today and I me, being well, me I had to take a look.  (Here's the list if you're curious: The best Western movie ever—and see the rest of the top 25, according to critics (msn.com))

     

    So my reason for wanting to start a thread is this question.  When someone compiles their top 25 list does El Dorado and Rio Bravo actually deserve to be separate entries on that list?

     

    I also think there are some movies that I personally don't really call Westerns probably because they are taking place (at least partially) outside of the timeframe SASS itself qualifies.  Don't get me wrong, Giant is a good James Dean film, but I have a hard time considering that as a true western.

    Your wife could've been Anne I. Doncare

     

    That's almost tempting, although her alias is Low More... (It's actually how you pronounce her first name..)

    Actually that one isn't funny. I think WA state must be the rolling roadblock capital of the country. Purposely irritating all the drivers behind you seems to be a game for a lot of folks here.

     

    I usually try and keep the RV to about 60-65 when on the Freeway and I stay in the right lane.  On a 2 lane road I'm usually going 55-60, although I'll slow to posted limits for corners.  Sorry if that's too slow for you all.

     

  4. Why is it that some folks always want to assume that the only fun that can be had in this sport is their idea of fun?

     

    If you all are so tired of so many different costume based categories because it means the Sunday awards ceremony takes forever to get through, why don't you all just go home after you're done shooting and have them mail you your trophy?

     

    If we're all not here because we all enjoy the fellowship this sport brings, then why exactly are we here?

     

    If all you want to do is go and shoot the guns like the did in the old west, why are you in SASS and not NWCOWS?  Seems to me they're a better fit for what you are wanting to do.


    Why don't we all just say to heck with it and we all shoot in one big old category and go home?  And while we're at it why don't we skip all the inventive stage setups and just shoot 10, 10, 4 from one position at the same targets with same set of standard sweeps every week?  Won't that be fun?

     

    Is this not a sport based on Movies and TV?  And just how realistic to you expect those to be?
