Geeze, sounds like it came from Blazing Saddles... but I can't remember.

DAMNIT! I was just singing this the other day...

He was jewish...

Was it Marvin?

I can't remember now!

Is it Ryan Groves?

Posted by: sompopo at September 20, 2005 08:53 AM

He was Jewish but was neither a Marvin nor a Ryan.

FUCK! Forgot about your preview thingy...anyhoo, about 90 minutes ago, I posted "Big Irving."

Posted by: Victor at September 20, 2005 09:13 AM

I thought Irving was Ryan Groves cowboy name?

Posted by: sompopo at September 20, 2005 09:17 AM

Uhh...anyway, I'm still submitting "Big Irving" as my answer. These points WILL be mine!

There was a Mr. Frank Gallop who wrote "The Ballad of Irving," the saga of the 142nd fastest gun in the West, in 1966.

Irving it is!

They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West

3 points for Victor.

Last guess. Could it be Kinky Friedman?

I'd like to know how the hell is that fair? Like a girl would know or even care about who the fastest gun in the west was. I'm feeling a bit bitter and left out. Jim, have you seen the side bar? Do you realize that I'm in second place. Nothing for weeks! And then this. Can you give me somethin' to go on here?

Ok I'm done complaining....you can go back to work.

Tiffani, maybe if you combed the Archives, you'd find a point or two that hasn't been claimed.

My favorite chicken-stroker *does* have a point, Jim. You haven't awarded points for this yet, and I think Tiffani might find a point or two in there.

Posted by: Victor at September 20, 2005 10:51 AM

What like he didn't award points for the best present? My Boob job Comment should easily earn a point.

I can't think of anything else.

Posted by: Tiffani at September 20, 2005 12:17 PM

Crap! No fair that I don't have online access until after work! I would've gotten this one!

Having resided in California at some time, were you another Dr. Demento fan, Jim?

Like a girl would know or even care about who the fastest gun in the west was.

Exactly why I asked about the 142nd fastest gun in the West. I was trying to give the chicks a fair shake.

I will be judging that gifts one now. I couldn't do it before because I hadn't bought a lottery ticket. Now I have done so and lost and I no longer need worry about buying all of that crap for people.

Dave - Most definitely. But it was well before my Cali days. We had it piped in up in Jersey and Demento tapes were a hot swappable item.

I'm looking over my dead dog Rover,
who I hit with the power mower.

Good times. Good times.

Wah, wah, wah, DD. It must suck being tied for third place.

Posted by: Victor at September 20, 2005 08:23 PM

Tied with you, no less. ;-)

Posted by: Jim at September 20, 2005 09:32 PM

I think I speak for about 95% of the women in the world...when I say "that girls are not interested in anything that has to do with the west"

I'll chalk it up as a pity point for the mens.

Posted by: Tiffani at September 21, 2005 11:10 AM

Irving had a son, too, as I recall, although his name eludes me.

I *do* remember that Irving's son died because he drew his Teddy Bear and hugged his gun.

Posted by: Harvey at September 21, 2005 09:52 PM

1 Pity point awarded.

Posted by: Jim at September 22, 2005 05:40 AM

what ever....

Posted by: Tiffani at September 22, 2005 09:49 AM

Anyone else think Tiffani is so cute! when she gets all pouty?

Posted by: Victor at September 22, 2005 10:18 AM

aaaahhh Victor I think I love you.

Posted by: Tiffani at September 23, 2005 09:31 AM

141 were faster than he, but he was looking for 143

Posted by: ron at September 30, 2005 05:48 PM
