What "Western" character would you be?

[Noodley]

The hero that gets the gal?
The gal that gets the hero?
The gal thats gets anyone for the right price?
The shopkeeper?
The shopkeeper's daughter, who is a bit more alluring than first glances reveal?
The undertaker, measuring everyone for their final resting place?

What would you be if you were in a Western movie?

I reckon I would be the bloke who gets killed early on for no reason.

 

[TheDoctor]

I'd like to be The Man with No Name.
I expect I'd end up as the second corpse though...

Are you not already lined up for the role with your name? Specs, apron and a little bit twitchy?

 

[Nantmor]

The Warren Beatty role in McCabe and Mrs. Miller is mine I fear.

 

[TheDoctor]

I see what you mean.
I'd like to be as cool as Clint Eastwood in the Spaghetti Westerns though.
Do you think I'd look good in a poncho?

The guy who sits there eating with the baddie (wooden bowls and spoons, natch), his missus and kid stand around looking furtive and at the end of the meal he gets shot and the family collapse weeping. Or something like that.

I'm not sure Doc...have you one to hand?

 

[TheDoctor]

No, I don't.
I had one at a theme park once (for a log flume ride IIRC) but it was plastic and bright yellow.
Not a Mexican pattern, certainly.

I'd sit in the saloon asking the ladies if I could take them for a ride up the Red River Valley, and asking if they'd like to see my smallholding.

........or Doc Holliday!

Hmm see through plastic...that would make a very different western!!

I heard you holdings were very small..ahem

Good call

At school, and this wasn't yesterday, I was Gil Favor (Eric Fleming) in Rawhide the trailherd boss. My school pal was Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) ramrod (2nd in command) in the same programme.

Glad nobody knows me on here.

Thanks Fnaar, I've now got a peanut lodged in my nostril from snorting! (With apologies for that alluring image).

I'd be the pastor's rebellious daughter - looking as if butter wouldn't melt in my mouth, but after being taught to shoot by the prospectors' children I'd save the town from the man in the black hat by lulling him into a false sense of security, then shooting him in the hairy cacti.
