Alpo Posted January 25 Posted January 25 In The Patriot - Mel Gibson revolutionary War movie - they sewed Heath Ledger into a cloth sack before putting him in bed with the girl. They referred to it as a bundling bag. I wondered at the time if that was a real thing, or if they came up with that for the movie because they figured nobody would understand what a bundling board was. Quote

Alpo Posted January 25 Posted January 25 11 minutes ago, Stump Water said: After Deadwood everybody knew. I watched about half of one episode. Too much Louis L'Amour I suppose. There were so few decent women in the west that you treated them nice and you spoke to them politely. That was a trouble I had with Appaloosa - the sheriff sees the woman sitting by herself in the hotel dining room and hollers over to her, "Are you a whore?" If she was a decent woman, and she had a husband or a brother or a father, the sheriff might just get himself shot for that. So anyway, the partial episode of Deadwood that I watched the guy seem to be unable to speak to anybody, including women, without F this and S that. I never watched it after that. So why would they have a bundling board? Bundling board were used in New England, as I understand it. Decent guy Tom would be courting decent girl Sally, and he would go to her house, but the days were short and the nights were cold, and instead of sending him home in the cold dark they would let him spend the night. And they would put him in bed with Sally. With this board about 2 foot tall between them so they could not reach over and do the nasty before they were legally wed. If the only people in Deadwood were miners, gamblers, bartenders and prostitutes, why would they need a bundling board? 8 minutes ago, Tooky Slim said: Don't have a pot to pis* in or a window to throw it out(might just be someting my dad was fond of saying) That is someone that is extremely poor.

Swan is a nicer term of cussing. Like darn instead of damn or heck instead of hell. She meant "I swear", but nice people, especially nice ladies, didn't used to swear. You didn't even say "I swear", because that's a short version of "I swear to God", and that's taking the lord's name in vain. And now you know 1 Quote

But from what I remember, people more informed about the real Deadwood than I, said that Al Swearengen was VERY much like that. He was a mean, rude, violent man. Though it didn't show it in the show, he was married in real life. And if he were alive today doing what he did back then, the cops would be at his place for domestic violence calls several times a week. He didn't treat the women that worked for him any better, either. They were so much merchandise to him. Quote
Warden Callaway Posted January 25 Posted January 25 How's it hanging? Keep the dirty side down and the shiny side up. Don't do nothing I wouldn't do. So skinny you couldn't hit her with a hand full of corn. So bad a shot, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. (from the inside) Dummer than a box of rocks. She'd do a pile of rocks if she thought a snake was in it. Quote
