Wrongway Dave—or how not to mount a horse! (with no help from puzzled Peter) Permalink

The six-shooter that went thataway! (starring (?) Dead-eye Davy) Permalink
Info Have you ever dreamed of being a cowboy? Well, then, a cowgirl? And pumping your worst enemy full of lead? It’s easy when you know how. The trick is to whip the sixshooter out of your holster lightning-fast and then fan with your left hand while your right hand works the trigger. (Or are you left-handed?) Info But first you give the old six-gun a twirl—like Davy is doing. Info And then you spread your feet and rest your hands on your gun-belt and look nasty—like Davy is doing. Info And finally you—you… Well, luv, it was nice knowing you!
