Let’s hope James Reeves from TFB TV sees this. 😁

What was Christian shooting at, and where did he holster the revolver?

Look closely, the bathing suit has a holster attached to it. I would buy a bathing suit like that in a flash. I would wear it in the swimming pool without a gun in it. Everyone would look at me, notice there was no gun in the holster and then start looking all around the pool trying to find where the gun fell out.

Prouteau wears a Scorpion holster on a leather belt.

The article I linked above is well worth reading.

Artist’s rendition of the rest of my life, circa 12 days after winning the PowerBall. Scotch and cordite on sand.

For those of us not fluent in French this story will remain a mystery. And, I've heard of shooting fish in a barrel but not in a lake. LOL

That would be a "Soiled Dove" in a river, rather than a fish in a barrel, eh Cowboy !:cool:

The second I saw that pic, I knew what it was from, which is a bit funny (to me) as it is certainly an obscure pic. Looking it up. That show came out in 1989 and I very clearly remember watching it. It was such an incredible show.

I was 5 when it came out lol.

My first experience with lonesome dove was with the second one when I found it in a bargain bin on Okinawa. It's nowhere near as good.
