April 8, 20232 yr 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.
April 9, 20232 yr “It’s free water, I hope you like it cold. We ain’t got time to warm it for you.” “I like it wet.”
April 9, 20232 yr What are you talkin' about? You don't even like money. You like money even less than you like fun, if that's possible.
April 9, 20232 yr 50 minutes ago, South Austin said: I hate rude behavior in a man. I won’t tolerate it. My favorite scene

April 9, 20232 yr If you want any one thing too badly, it's likely to turn out to be a disappointment.
April 9, 20232 yr You don’t mind doing a little well digging to pay for your breakfast, do you, Dish? ( my oft quoted line when the young men show up at my deer camp trailer looking for something to eat after they stayed up too late the night before and there is work to be done)

April 10, 20232 yr 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.
April 10, 20232 yr After the Black Vaquero resolution, I thought Comanche Moon was very average. Couldn't agree more on Lonesome Dove though.
April 10, 20232 yr “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living. I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.”
April 10, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, Paco said: I s'pose you been up all night readin' the Good Book. “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.”
April 10, 20232 yr It’ll take a hacksaw to cut them eggs the way you’re frying them in coffee grounds, Bol. I don’t care.

April 10, 20232 yr Listening to you brag don't improve the taste of these messican strawberries none.

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"
April 11, 20232 yr 18 minutes ago, billfromlaketravis said: I started the audiobook today. 35 hours. Yikes. Time well spent
April 12, 20232 yr “I think this is our man.” Also enjoyed Gus’ face when Po Campo is proposing someone riding Call.
April 12, 20232 yr 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 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theringer.com/platform/amp/2020/8/26/21401869/lonesome-dove-megapod-book-miniseries
June 24, 20232 yr RIP Blue Duck. Forrest did an excellent job of portraying one of. the all-time great bad guys.

Another reminder that Woodrow Call is the baddest mother fucker ever imagined.

June 24, 20232 yr 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.
June 25, 20232 yr 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 2, 20232 yr 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.
