I'm not sure what being somebody's "Huckleberry" entails, but it's gotta be better than being somebody's Dingleberry.

Quote from "Tombstone" with Val Kilmer's playing Doc Halliday... at one (or more) point(s) he offered to fight someone (with guns, at close quarters), he said "I'm your huckleberry"... or rather "Ah'm your huckleberry". [;)]

Kilmer stole the show with his performance. [&o]

Think the Huckleberry offer was for Johnny Ringo.

So celibate 1 have you looked at the AE manual yet?  It's not cheating.

I never thought that doing an AAR would be so time consuming and difficult.

Think the Huckleberry offer was for Johnny Ringo.
Among others, iirc (the line was used more than once, i think)... but he definitely wanted to have a go with J.R., though... and finally did.

BTW: this is from an article i just found on "I'm your huckleberry":

"more common usage came to mean, in the words of the "Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975):

"A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully, "Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.

The "Historical Dictionary of American Slang" which is a multivolume work, has about a third of a column of citations documenting this meaning all through the latter 19th century.

So "I'm your huckleberry" means "I'm just the man you're looking for!"

Dear Diary,

On day 103 of my celibacy, I have to admit that going celibate hasn't been as difficult as I had expected. As I contemplate the imminent release of AE, however, I realize that I haven't even tasted of temptation yet. I truly don't know whether I can stay away from AE, and there's no way of knowing until the game is released and I can face the monster eye to eye.

Val Kilmer should of received the "Best male Performance" award for his work on Tombstone, but he was beat by Tom Hanks on Philadelphia. IMO, Kilmer was much better.

Dear Diary,

On day 107 of my celibacy, I purchased AE. It is downloading at 500KB/second and should be installed within 15 minutes. Please note that this is NOT a violation of my vow. My vow extends only to engaging in a PBEM. So I am safe for a little while - at least until Miller decides he wants to try a game.

Canoerebel

P.S. I'm not rationalizing my behavior, am I?

Love having film EXPERTS on the Forum! Kilmer was magnificent and SHOULD have gotten an Oscar for that role.

No new diary entry!!!!! and yet many writings being produced by Canoerebel on the AE forum.   I fear that the glamorous AE is working her seductive charms on that pledge made by Canoerebel.

Your next post will be stating that you haven't broken your vow as it a PBEM "against" someone other than John or Miller. [:D]
