Proverbs from Shady Mountaiin

When confronted by a verbal barrage a gunslinger can step to the line and resolve the matter by wax or issue a retort.  Such great retorts are for example:

Don't be too sure you are quicker than me!

Been quick enough so far!

Appaloosa

You just shot an unarmed man!

Well, he should have armed himself if he is going to decorate his saloon with my friend!

Unforgiven

I have to put up with a daily barrage from Shady Mtn, most times I just let it slide but sometimes have the energy to retort.   

Your New Years resolution is something that shouldn't go in one year and out the other.

Let the deaf hear and the blind see! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Losing a marble can not be undone, only forgotten.

Never forgotten, only mourned. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A gunfighter must be aware of his surroundings and the state of his firearm.


And that of his prospective opponent!

Nope, one can't worry about opponent's state or equipment.


Thought that is what you did, made sure he was loaded to dry fire.

He better follow your lead, he can't remember what he did.


Heh, we are kind of on a roll, seeded in the top three two months in a row.

Not bad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh, on your way out of town would you stop by, I would like hear a couple more clanks in my bucket.

Retired my short guns. I don't exist anymore. Can't compete. Going to my smitthy to get my scatter gun worked on. Out of time as usual.

Sure go ahead and quit after you have all of the marbles. Bat Masterson wouldn't do that.


I'll be back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was some pitiful shooting yesterday.

You did good, Progress for me, Maybe I can't do what I want. We'll see.

Quick don't matter much unless you can hit that which you are trying to be quick about.

You should have put a marble in anyway
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't be too sure you're quicker than me;
Been known to go to the shift in a tight spot.

Been quick enough so far.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Started off bad, finished good, beat powder keg 2 out of three.


Good, he needs a little humbling!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not shooting faster than average is what keeps the average down.


I think you better rethink that, not shooting faster than average is what keeps the average up. Been listening to those bureaucrats too long, up is down and down is up, and we can cut spending by spending more.

If you shoot faster then the average goes up, better have another cup.


Guess we need to go back to school. Up is down, down is up. I know the government told me so.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

He who fears losing marbles is certain of defeat.


Difference between you and me and the Shelton boys, you got feelings.

I know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teach yourself not to be afraid of losing a marble or two but treat  the experience as a lesson.


Better to give than to receive

I like that thought.


A perfect season is where in every match your opponent is quicker than you, every match goes to  2-2, and you win half and lose half.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

All the mistakes I've made while shooting for marbles was when I wanted to say yes  and said no.


Don't cry over spilled marbles.

==================================

When you believe you have lost the power and control of your draw, nothing will ever seem easy or simple.


You talking to me or rather about me. Getting disheartened.

It's just talking in general, "if the shoe fits wear it."


"You should never kick a sleeping dog," if the shoe fits wear it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Well, A mind is a terrible thing to waist.

Waste not, want not, and add to the waist.

OK, whatever.

Noted in new rules our two handed shooters must "where" an identifying object.  Never no if it's the computer or a smarter wit, or just a typo. My chip does most of my writing.

I am aware of that but forgot, that's why your there to keep me out of trouble.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh thanks, you're a big help, don't strain yourself, wish I thought of that.

Don't get huffy. Just don't know why or what they are suggesting. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
What you get for Christmas.

Nothing yet, Lump of coal. Been naughty so says little woman.

Well remember, If the shoes fits wear it. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If one complies he quotes from facebook, does that make one a published author?

Nope, only me.
