RE: Wild Women of the West Part 2: Squirrel Tooth Alice
Did you call her Libby because it has the same letter as Billy? Billiby Gang would’ve been good for those two.
God bless prostitutes! I’ve been meaning to tell you I like the way you catch us up at the beginning of your stories. Thanks @janton, that was fun!
haha! sir dandays! "Billiby Gang!" lol.. that would fit for sure. I called her Libby because I like that name and it was my post. Why, you got a problem with that? lol..
The prostitutes...that's a tricky moral question for some because even though it was a very carnal business I believe that they saved alot of lives by providing all these young men a way to channel their energy and attention towards them, the women. Otherwise I think you would have had a great deal more killings and shootings from guys fighting. I believe they were a stabilizing force, it was always more civilized when you had women around.
Women were scarce and that's why the explosion in brothels. Some historians estimate that there was only one woman for each ten men who ventured West. I think the women were smart in not wanting to leave the cities and go into the wilderness and I think it proves how much smarter they are than men! lol.. that's good I think I'll put that in a post.
I wasn't sure about doing the recaps but I think they are necessary even though I have people screeching about my posts being too long. I don't think I have a choice so thank you for mentioning that.
I disagree. They’re short and direct, not too long. I think the length is perfect.
Eh, are western stories something you’ve always been into or did #steemit curve your hobby?
Howdy again sir dandays! wow don't you have more important things to do? Oh that's right I forgot. Of course you do but you're addicted now! lol. Thank you for saying that about the length, I try to keep them just long enough to have some good information but not too long to start losing people.
The West is part of me, I was raised out by Dodge City on a farm/ranch, been shooting since I was knee high to a grasshopper, heard stories of Indians when I was a kid, found arrowheads on our property, read books about the Old West. So yes I've always been a Western fan. And of course Steemit is a great outlet to talk about history so it's a natural.
And then like we talked about before, it doesn't hurt to be branded or have a niche on here and I don't think anyone else is doing what I'm doing so that's an advantage. But there are people who told me they hate what I'm doing.
The same interest can be created by you though, not in Westerns but a curiosity of what you're going to post about next. Most people love that too, they want to be pleasantly surprised! And you deliver! lol.. especialy if they have a sense of humor and most people here have a great sense of humor! You can go no where but up.
did you really feel the need to say all that twice? 😉
Ok, hold on, I’m pretty sure you said knee high to a grasshopper, hold on a second... Yup! That’s what you said:
What in the dodge city shooting stars does that mean pard’ner??
One more question. Are you serious @janton, someone has actually told you they hate what you’re doing? “I hate what you’re doing?” <- like that?
Oh my gosh this comment has had me rolling!!! Glad you asked the question and I am not the only one asking WTH? Just thought since I am from the city I am the only one not comprehending (but loving the unusual wording).
I also was wondering about that second question. So I think I will be sticking around for the rest of this thread! :D

haha! I never even thought about the expression "knee high to a grasshopper" as being strange but that's what happens when you grow up with certain sayings. lol. Thanks so much for your interest and comment!
Howdy tonight sir dandays! haha! well since I know you're suffering from the cognitive confusion of COS or Cemmenters Overload Syndrome I figured I better make it plain so yous wouldn't mix it up with someone else.
I can't remember when I started shooting BB guns, that's how young I was. Then I started shootin real guns around age 10 or 12 I reckon. By the time I graduated from High School I was quite the pistolero. It was second nature to me. most people don't know but much of the fancy shootin in the movies is very possible, it's just not possible by the movie stars! lol.
like this guy, the world's fastest gun
Regarding the people who have told me they didn't like my posts, they didn't use the word hate but might as well have. Thre e of them have told me they didn't like what I post about..one guy said he didn't like what I posted about but he didn't say hate. another guy said that my subject material was all wrong, that it glorified "shitty" people. and a third person said that my posts sucked because I was promoting guns and violence! lol.. I laughed at all three of them because I get so many people telling me they love the stories I tell.
What surprises me is that they want alot of shooting, violence and action. Some of the most popular posts are the most bloody ones which kind of surprises me.
What in the?!? That YouTube clip makes me want to break all of my own rules and just start dropping every curse wOrd I can think of... F’ing phenomenal! that’s as close as I’m gonna get
While I’m dropping F bombs... F anyone who has something negative to say about what you’re doing here @janton, right in their neck! Whoever has something bad to say to you should say it to the mirror as they’re wiping their butt with their opinion. That irritates me—sorry you have to deal with ignorance.
Glorifying bad people and promoting gun violence... :vomit: these are the same people who watch porn and talk bad about their neighbors... F’em! They ain’t no better than me or you janton and actually, I think they’re burning up too much of our oxygen.
Don’t ever stop what you’re doing, sir, you’re doing great!
How many times has that yourube dude shot himself? How many injuries has he sustained learning that craft. I watched that thing in awe! Thanks for showing me something I never knew.
haha! "I think they’re burning up too much of our oxygen." that's funny. It's amazing to me how many people on here are crabby and bossy know-it-alls who love to criticize others. I think they have to be miserable in their own life so they try to make everyone else miserable too. If they don't like what people are posting then don't read it!
But no, many of them start downvoting and flagging which I think Steemit shouldn't even have those options on the platform because the whales control way to much with their power and it's censorship pure and simple instead of being an open platform.
That guy with the six shooter, Bob Munden, the worlds fastest draw, he is something isn't he? They say that the body simply cannot perform an act that fast, it's physically impossible for him to do what he does! lol.. I love that. That's what you call gifted.
There are lots of people doing fast draw competitions all over the country but the mainstream media would never report it. lol. Bob isn't just fast though, he's super accurate shooting from the hip, that's really hard to do but not for him. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed that. I bet anything he's never shot himself.
Thanks for the encouragement. I like history and this is a way to teach it that people aren't aware of, they think they're just reading a story. They're being forced to learn history without realizing it! lol. And hopefully there will be some moral to the story which I don't pound on too hard because I don't want to sound preachy. lol.
I guess you're working on your fridayfoodfight post?
