"True Grit".What film is that line from? I remember 'Fill your hand' from the Uzi ads that ran on the backs of American gun mags throughout much of the 80's!
Edit - Sorry, getting tired here! Time to go to bed I think
I had looked at a clip before posting, but I went back and John Wayne does indeed say it your way.
And @flatblackcapo's subsequent pic of the relevant page in the novel shows that the film is consistent with the book. I think I imposed my own pluralization because I thought he was talking to all 4 bad guys.
Cool photo of your dog, FBC!...

Thank you, Gary. It looks like Black Jack is acquiring some good honest wear.
I was tempted by the tasty looking meat pies but I have a hard time paying 5 times what the pies would cost in shipping.
It looks like I might need to figure out how to make them myself.

Earlier today, my wife was showing me online photos of what I'd guess was the same breed; she was amused/amazed by the dog's apparent smile when its mouth was closed. 
Funny, it didn't bother me when Jeannie refused to utter a contraction. I think I watched that show fairly religiously; not like there'd have been much choice with 2.5 channels.
Rooster's previous line was addressed to one person: "I aim to kill you in five minutes, Ned...."I had looked at a clip before posting, but I went back and John Wayne does indeed say it your way.
I also thought I had read the story in a magazine, not a book. Wikipedia tells me that it was originally published as a serial in The Saturday Evening Post, which we always received a couple of weeks after the cover date from Grandma, who subscribed to the magazine.

Oh my, such awesome jigging. What a fine lambsfoot. Genn's work never disappoints.
Have a great day Guardians.
Now that's one nice looking lambsfoot, I could go for a series just like that.
Wow Dylan, that is stunning!You have something really special now though, interesting choice of covers, do you know if Glenn did the jigging himself? I'm sure that's a Lambsfoot you'll enjoy carrying my friend
I have really enjoyed reading about all the celebrations Dylan
Absolutely sensational jigging, Dylan, and the color fits your rojo mojo!
Every cloud has a silver lining. That's very nice work
Happy Hanukkah, Rachel! According to a recent Ancestry DNA test I took, I'm part Jewish. Maybe I should celebrate too! I do have a menorah... have to get some candles.Boy, time is going fast. Wasn't it Thanksgiving just a few days ago?
Happy Hanukkah, Guardians!
You need to post that in the Holiday Thread, it's not only for Christmas.Boy, time is going fast. Wasn't it Thanksgiving just a few days ago?
Happy Hanukkah, Guardians!
There's a Holiday Thread? I'll have to look for that.
Sure, you've got eight days to get to it.
I've got a group of friends who believe in celebrating any holiday they can. On the 25th, we have a big ChristmaSolsticeHanukKwanzakah party.

I was ready for my bed! Mind you, it is a very long time since I saw True Grit, not since I was a kid I think (re-make aside). Thank you for educating me folks, I'll have to seek out the book I think your English weather has more fortitude than our English weather. It cleared up a couple hours later and turned into a fine day for dog walking and Lambsfoot totin'. I'm sorry to hear that your English weather is so stubbornly holding on.
Oooo, and in a fancy glass too.

Keeping with the True Grit theme
It looks like it turned into a lovely day there, those are great pics That's a Duvel glass I got free from a local bar some years back, I like it as a beer-tasting glass 
Another fantastic True Grit pic Boy, time is going fast. Wasn't it Thanksgiving just a few days ago?
Happy Hanukkah, Guardians!
Thank you all for the kind compliments, fellas (hopefully I didn't miss anybody), and many apologies for taking so long to respond. Been letting my attention lapse a bit with the forums due to life's busy turns.
It is a much finer knife with Glenn's work and I really couldn't be happier. I cannot recall if he did the jigging himself or not. Needless to say, it is rather quite fine regardless.
Carrying it again with me today.
Hope life isn't too hectic for you my friend I carry a lambsfoot . . .
. . . because it helps me cut corners.
How 'bout you?
Pile side.
Thanks!

From what my mother has told me they were there a lot! I'm starting off the week with my Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot - always a struggle to keep it out of my pocket! Have a good week folks

Dylan hope you don't mind I am putting this photo on my desktop for the week.
Good to see you, and that lovely Lambsfoot, here Dylan
Fine looking knife. Interesting cup, too.I had to rescue this thread from almost making it back to Page 3! For shame!
Not at all, my friend, I am pleased and flattered that you enjoy it.
Thank you, Jack. I am going to try and chime in a bit more often.
I had the good ol' Ebony today. Always a pleasing choice, a very fine knife.
