What’s good for me ain’t necessarily good for the weak-minded. 

[WBT 20581]

I'd like to see the herd you and Jake could gather.  Herd of whores, maybe.

[shadow_operative 15932]

you cheated!

Well, I won’t say I did and I won’t say I didn’t, but I will say that a man who wouldn’t cheat for a poke don’t want one bad enough.

What are you talkin' about? You don't even like money. You like money even less than you like fun, if that's possible.

I hate rude behavior in a man. I won’t tolerate it.

I swear, Gus. You’d argue with a ‘possum.

If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment.

You don’t mind doing a little well digging to pay for your breakfast, do you, Dish?

I hope one of them says to the others “The only way to get better food around here is by shooting Deadshank.”

I don’t recall you being no lover of cows neither, Jake. Pretty whores and clean shirts were always more your style.

I s'pose you been up all night readin' the Good Book.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Well, I'm glad I ain't scared to be lazy.

[South Austin 52515]

I didn't read the book until well over a decade after I saw the movie, and it's easily in my list of Top 10 books of all time.  Dead Man's Walk and Comanche Moon are also very, very good.  Never got around to Streets of Laredo.

[TexTexTex 104]

After the Black Vaquero resolution, I thought Comanche Moon was very average.  Couldn't agree more on Lonesome Dove though.

“It’s hard to have fun in a place like this, but I do my best” is a regular phrase for me. As is “You tend your biscuits.”

It’ll take a hacksaw to cut them eggs the way you’re frying them in coffee grounds, Bol. 
 

I don’t care.

Yep all three of those are very good. Fantastic story telling.

Is that a Woodrow line?  Because it’s damn near a Tommy Lee Jones line from The Fugitive too.

A favorite Gus line from the book that I'm not sure made the show was

"My main talents are talkin' and cookin' biscuits and gettin' drunk on the porch"

[Capt. Squints 176]

Yeah, hell of a vision.

Also enjoyed Gus’ face when Po Campo is proposing someone riding Call. 

[Post Oak 20225]

If you ever listened to The Watch podcast, Chris Ryan and Andy Greenwald do 4eps on the book and show. 

It interesting to hear to northerners talk about their love for this story.

Worth a listen imo

RIP Blue Duck.  Forrest did an excellent job of portraying one of. the all-time great bad guys.

This bump hits close to home. I’m currently re-reading LD for probably the 4th time and am at the part where Gus is tracking Blue Duck and Lorena.

Streets of Laredo is really good.  A solid cap to all of the character arcs.  Another reminder that Woodrow Call is the baddest mother fucker ever imagined.

I think my favorite part of Comanche Moon is how it really establishes Blue Duck’s character 

[shadow_operative 15932]

if you ever bring that damned old tongue of yours north of the canadian i'll cut it out and feed it to my wolf pups. 

[deadshank 24653]

I got a little treatment for women that try to run away.  I cut a hole in their stomachs and pull out a little gut and wrap it around a limb. Then I drag them 30 or 40 feet away and tie them down.  Then they can watch the coyotes come and eat their guts.   
 

gruesome.

July had been known to be slow.

Go onto a McMurtry kick back in ‘21 after his passing. Lonesome Dove, last picture show, and leaving Cheyenne have always been some of my favorites. Rereading never gets old.

I was given a copy of - then stashed and forgot about - All My Friends Are Going to be Strangers.

What do you think if you’ve read it? Plan start it tomorrow to read over the next few days.
