Many youth would benefit from this.

  1. That's what the kid needed, I bet! Don't know which movie this was from, but I imagine the kid mouthed off to The Duke when he should have been respectful (and in school instead of fishing.)

    Last night I enjoyed "McLintock," a fun film with John Wayne & Katherine Hepburn; it's a retelling of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew only set in the West. It's about an uppity woman who sneers at the common folk & who finally gets her comeuppance in a public spanking!

    Just imagine trying to make that film now. We've sure fallen a long way!

    1. Hondo and it was Maureen OHara not Hepburn. Sorry don't mean to be a know it all! You are so right about making a movie like that today. Or almost any Wayne movies today.

    2. OK, that's my "duh" moment for the day. You are so right, it was indeed Maureen O'Hara.

      They don't make women like that these days either!

  2. It was McLintock. And I got to stand at the very spot where Ohara fell off the balcony, in her corset, onto the hay wagon.....I surprised the wife at my "fan-boy" reaction!

  4. JW wasn’t a supporter of the constitution. Avoided military service too.

    Hero in the movies maybe not so much in real life

    1. He was one of the founders of a conservative actors union. And his deferment was a source of pain in his later life, spurring him to be a super-patriot.

      Just goes to show that even the best are just human. It's what they do with their failures that makes them better than the average person.

  5. If somebody throws Maxine Waters in her waters, they need to make sure hungry gators await. I don't know if they'd reject her - maybe take that nasty wig off her before tossing her in?

  6. The Duke asked the kid if he could swim.His answer was no. The Duke gave him a swimming lesson.
