Just for a laugh... Christmas 2019 Edition!

Hello again, friends! Merry Christmas!! How on earth is it already Christmas time again?! And... it's already CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

*Super excited yet slightly overwhelmed at the
prospect of Christmas already being tomorrow*

Even though I'm feeling a bit unprepared for it to already be Christmas once again, I'm still of course very EXCITED for Christmas!!! And I'm even more thrilled because I'm participating once again in Faith Potts' annual 12 Days of Christmas Blog Party this year! :)

Click HERE to go to Faith's blog and find the rest of the
participants posts, an awesome giveaway, and other Christmasy excitement! :D

I was planning to do a lot more posts for this blog party, but the busyness of this Christmas season and life in general recently has gotten me rather behind on my Christmas blogging game unfortunately. But, I wanted to AT LEAST make time to put together another Christmas edition of "Just for a laugh" this year for the party! I've done these kinds of posts on different occasions, and for the past two years I've done a Christmas-themed one -- so I thought, why stop this fun tradition now? Sometimes it's nice to just take a little break from all the Christmas rush and sit back and have a good laugh... so let's do, shall we? :D

Here we go! Just for a laugh... Christmas 2019 Edition! Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~

Anyone relate to this? (I don't live quite this far south, but it's still rather hilarious. xD)


Can't forget the myrrh.

"YAY, ALRIGHT! Wait... ehhh... hey, kids, why don't we just put up like one string of lights around the door this year or something maybe...?"

Come on, Fido, get it together!


Well... here's one idea for a Christmas card.


"Ummm... honey, did you invite the elf over that's on our sofa watching Hallmark Christmas movies?"

I TOTALLY want this recipe!!!

And to wrap up all this holiday fun, here's a couple comedic Christmas-themed videos!

~~~~~~~

I hope you all liked that! Be sure to check out all the rest of the Christmasy blog party fun over at Faith's blog! I hope that you all have a joyful Christmas with your family and friends, and remember JESUS -- the greatest gift of all, and the reason why we celebrate this most wonderful time of the year!!! <3

Write to ya later, God bless, and Merry Christmas!!!

The Grand 3rd/4th Year Blogiversary Q&A Post!!!

Hello again! How are you all? It's so good to get back to blogging again!

So, guys... Guess what day it is?

It's my blog's 4th birthday!!! And that means of course, much excitement abounds!!!

However... it also means that it's been a whole year now since I first asked for questions for that special 3rd year blogiversary Q&A I was going to do. And, as you can clearly see, I never did actually post that Q&A last year (or by July 31st like I said I was going to in another more recent post... D:).

So, of course, I have been quite disappointed with myself over this. I feel bad for being lazy and not sticking with the plan and working harder to keep my word in posting this for my 3rd blogiversary last year like I said I was going to. So, I wanted to apologize to you all. I will try much harder in the future to post what I say I'm going to post in a much more timely fashion. I truly am sorry, guys.

But, I suppose...... the phrase "better late than never" could be applied quite well in this situation, right? At least I finally AM posting it, even if it is quite late.

Also, before I start with the questions, I wanted to give more of an actual reason of why it's taken me so long to answer these questions, besides using the excuse of just plain laziness...
So, one thing that actually held me up on this Q&A were honestly the questions about what the future of this blog was to be, or what I wanted it to be. And the thing is... I wasn't exactly sure (and I'm STILL not exactly sure at this very moment) what all I want to happen with this blog in the future or where I see it going (but I definitely do have ideas, some in which I will tell about in my answers). So, I guess since I didn't feel like I had a very good answer for those questions, I kind of just skipped over them, answering the rest first. And then, when I came back around to those more thoughtful questions about the future, it seemed like I was never able to put down a satisfactory answer to them. But... NO MORE. Even if I don't know everything, I shall answer these questions as best I can. :)

Thank you SO MUCH to Brooklyne, Faith, and Olivia for all the questions you all asked me last year for this special Q&A! And now... to FINALLY get to answering them!

Welcome to The Grand 3rd/4th Year Blogiversary Q&A, everyone!! Let's gooooo!!!

Brooklyne's questions:

What has been the biggest thing you have learned from your blogging experience? 
I think one of the biggest things I've learned is to not be so concerned with how many or few followers I have. To think more about quality than quantity. And another big thing I've been learning through blogging, too, is to not second guess myself so much by worrying about my writing not being good enough to share with others.

Where do you see your blog in the next three years? 

Okay. So. Here we go... XD

One main dream and goal that I've always had is to write books. So, as I write those books and get them published, I see myself using this blog as one way to help share some of those stories with you guys. In the next three years, I see it as more of a place where I'm sharing more of my stories and testimonies, a place where people continue to be encouraged and reminded of who they are in Christ and how to use their own gifts and talents for the glory of God especially, and a place where I can provide more helps in those areas through my writing, as well as through videos/vlogs, and maybe even graphic design. Also, creating and selling Christian t-shirts is also an idea that my brother and I are thinking and working on right now, so that might become a thing I do here as well.

So yeah, I'm still just figuring it all out. But that's kind of a general idea of the direction I'd like to head.

If you were to give a friend wanting to start a blog a tip about blog design, what would it be?

Hmm, well, one tip I'd give is to not have too many clashing patterns or colors. If you have a header like my current one with a picture with more patterns and things going on in it, you usually don't want to have a really patterny background. I have a basic white, shimmering lights-looking background on mine right now that doesn't clash much with the look of the header but instead (hopefully) compliments it.

What has been the hardest part about blogging? 

Keeping up with it mainly, and posting regularly... as you could probably tell by now! :P Real life has tended to get in the way of this blog many times (which I suppose isn't always a bad thing necessarily as it is more important to focus on our "real life" more than our internet/social media life overall).

What has been the best thing about blogging?

One of the best things has been getting to meet and know so many other Christian bloggers here in the "blogosphere"! :) I had no idea before I started blogging just how many other Christian bloggers were out there writing great, God-honoring things! It's really encouraging to see so many people of this generation out there spreading the good news through the internet.

What made you want to start a blog?

Reading other blogs, my love for writing, and my mom's encouragement were the main reason I started a blog. I had secretly wanted to start one for some time before I actually did, but I hadn't really said anything to my parents about it since I was so busy (and a little behind) with school and other things at the time. So, because of that, I thought they might not think it would be the best idea for me to spend so much time keeping up with a silly little blog. But then one day, my mom and I were talking about blogs and she mentioned to me that I should start one and could put my writing and photography and other things like that on there. So, I gladly told her that I'd very much like that, and got right on it! :)

Dogs or cats? 

Cats. :) (We have kittens right now and THEY ARE ADORABLE!)

(Behold the cuteness! XD)

Sweet or savory? 

Hmmm... It really just depends on what I'm in the mood for at the time. Sometimes I'm just in a mood for sweet things, and then other times I really crave something savory. But if I HAD to choose? Ohhhh..... I guess I'd probably pick sweet... No, savory. Well, again, it just really depends. xD

Winter or summer? 

Can I say both? No? Well, alright. I'll pick summer because of the longer daylight and not having to take time to bundle up before going outside. I enjoy being outside a lot, so summer is a nice time of year. (But I really enjoy winter as well because snow, and Christmas, and sledding, and hot chocolate, and fireplaces, and crisp cool air, etc. xD There's just something great about every season I think. :) ) 

Hot chocolate or coffee...or ice cream?

Oooohhhh. Well, I'm not a coffee person, but I really enjoy hot chocolate and ice cream. Hmm... I'll choose ice cream!

Audio book or paperback?

Paperback. I actually haven't listened to a whole lot of audio books, to be honest... I feel like if I did listen to an audio book though, I'd want to be reading along in the book as I'm listening... which I guess kind of defeats the purpose of an audio book? xD I should probably take time to listen to more audio books though so I can actually have a better opinion of them. :P

Favorite music?

I like lots of different kinds of music! I mainly listen to either Christian or instrumental music. But as for what genre of music... it just really depends on what I'm in the mood for. During Christmas time, it's Christmas music, of course! (And it's almost that time of year again! HOW??) On occasion I like old-timey sounding music (like from the 40s and 50s), especially with Christmas songs. 

I usually enjoy variety in music and not listening to the same sounding songs all the time. But there's always kind of those "phases" that I sometimes go through with listening to certain songs and/or a certain genre/sound (if that made any sense what I just said. xD). Anyway, so a few favorite artists of mine are Carman, Jamie Grace, The Lads, and Steven Curtis Chapman. And a few favorite songs of mine right now are Glorious Unfolding by Steven Curtis Chapman, Five Sparrows by God Rocks, and So Will I by Hillsong.

Please do yourself a favor and watch and listen to this amazingly beautiful lyric video and song all the way through.  <3

Favorite movie (or TV show)?

I have many favorite movies! Once again... it just really just depends on what I'm in the mood for. (Can you tell yet that I sometimes have trouble picking favorites? :P) But okay okay... one favorite of mine is Beyond the Mask.

And as for a TV show, a have quite a few favorites of those as well. But, as of right now, I think my favorite would either be Wanted: Dead or Alive or Daniel Boone. A lot of times older shows tend to have better moral value to them than many shows nowadays, which causes me to generally lean toward liking older shows better. (Not that I don't like some newer ones, too, but older shows will always hold a special place in my heart. <3)

Favorite holiday? 

Christmas has always been one of my favorites!

Favorite color? 

Pink! (Of course, I enjoy many other colors as well, but ever since I was little, pink just continues to be at the top of the list for some reason. xD)

Favorite book? 

Well, my favorite book would definitely be the Bible. :) But I'm assuming you're meaning a favorite fictional one, so... that's a bit of a tougher choice. Understood Betsy by Dorothy Canfield Fisher and By the Great Horn Spoon by Sid Fleischman have been a couple favorites recently.

Favorite author? 

I don't think I really have a favorite author. I have favorite books... but, hmm... Maybe Sid Fleischman? I especially enjoy his different writing styles and characters in the books that I've read by him so far.

Favorite fall/winter activity?

I always like doing things outside (unless it's super cold). One thing I've always really enjoyed doing is sledding and/or playing out in the snow with my siblings. As we've gotten older, we haven't done that as much of course, but I really enjoy it when we do have time to all go and have fun out in the snow together. :)

Favorite hobby?

Writing and coming up with stories has always been a favorite hobby of mine (that I really hope to turn into more than a hobby someday!).

If you could plan a perfect vacation, what would it look like? 

Alright. SO. I would make a basic schedule, especially if I was vacationing somewhere where there are a lot of historic sights and/or places to go see. I would write it down, which thing to see which day, and try to follow it as best I could. On the first day, I might sleep in more, but most the rest of the days, I would try hard to get up earlier in the morning so that I could get out and do as many things as possible and stay on schedule. Now, I wouldn't have a super strict schedule; there would still be some leg room in there to do random stuff and such that comes up, so yeah. It would still be super fun and we would get to see and do lots of fun things!! ;)

So, that's for the basic schedule... but maybe you were meaning more of the kind of vacation place that I think would be "perfect." :P Well, since flying out to Colorado for the first time last summer and staying in a nice cabin out there with my family, I think something like that would be a great vacation! :) Staying in a nicely furnished cabin/house like the one we stayed in with all the lovely pine and aspen trees surrounding it was great fun! The only things that could have been enhanced to make it more "perfect" I suppose would be if it had more of a view of the mountains from the cabin, didn't have other houses so close to it, and had a pool and/or hot tub. I think that would be just about perfect! ;D

(From our trip! It was so purty out there!)

But, you know, there's also a lot more details and such and other locations (like the Swiss Alps, for example) that I'd like to go to as well, but I won't get into all that right now as it would probably take me much too long. :P

If you suddenly received your dream car, what would it be?

I honestly don't really have a "dream car" that I've always wanted. My mom has a Mercury that's quite nice that I drive sometimes. I like how easy it is to handle and the spaciousness of it. I think I would like a car that's similar to that one in a white, light blue, or burgundy red. 

What is one of your goals for this coming year, 2019?

One of my goals that I made at the beginning of this year was to finish and publish one of my stories. *Glances back at how that's coming along* Soooo, yeah... most of this year hasn't seen much progress with that. But I still have like, two more months right? I set myself a sort of unofficial NaNoWriMo goal to get my "Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" story at least halfway finished by the end of the month. So, hopefully I can get at least the first draft of that story done by the end of the year... We'll see how that goes though. :P

But now, as for THIS coming year, 2020, I have the same goal again as I had this year: To actually finish and publish one of my stories. (Especially since, at this point in the year now, I don't think that getting a full-length story actually all edited and published by the end of this year is going to be a very realistic goal for me with school, church, work, and everything else going on in my life right now.)

What does a typical day look like for you?

Well, it really kind of varies. But most days, I get up and read my Bible and/or pray some in the morning (Though, sometimes I don't always honestly do the best on that and need to work on doing that better...); eat breakfast; do school; do church work (working on our church's website, sending out church calendars/letters, making event graphics, etc.); do some chores and work around the house; usually help with making supper; hang out with my family in the evening (sometimes playing a game on the computer with my younger brother, or watching a movie/show with my family); and, at the end of the day when I go to bed, I've gotten in the habit of writing something good that happened that day or something I'm thankful for down in my journal. :)

Of course though, there are usually always other extra things that get thrown in different days along with these main things; like sometimes I go to an event or a friend's house, or do other work around the house like mowing or gardening, etc. And sometimes, like today, I even find time to actually write or blog! XD

Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have three great brothers. :)

Do you live in the city or county? 

In the country, and I wouldn't want it any other way! We don't live on a farm (YET... we've been looking around), but we currently live around a few farms.

(View from our backyard last winter! *heart eyes*)

Faith's questions:

What inspired you to start a blog?

*Points up to Brooklyne's sixth question* XD

What's your favorite thing about blogging?

I kind of already answered this with Brooklyne's question as well, but again, my favorite thing I think is just being able to meet other Christian bloggers through it!

Do you have a vision/projection for this blog one year from now? 

Well, now being a year since this question was originally asked, I certainly didn't envision this blog to be at pretty much the same place as it was last year... which is basically what has happened.

*re-evaluating my blogging life*

But anyway. What's done is done. As for a year from NOW though... here it is:

So, not too long ago, I got more of a vision for this blog that I was really excited about at the time. Part of that vision was for it to become more of a place to help encourage and equip others to use their gifts, the things that they "like", for the glory of God. (Because it's called "I Like That"... get it? Well, maybe it sounded more clever at the time I first thought of it... xD ) But then, a little bit went by, and I didn't do much about this new idea, and then later I was second guessing it and everything... But now, as I'm thinking about it again, I believe that's still part of the direction I'd like to head with this blog, along with sharing more of my stories here, like I said in Brooklyne's question up there.

So yeah, I haven't really taken a lot of time to actually just sit down and lay out a solid plan, but that's a little bit of insight into what I think will be part of my plan for this blog within this next year. In short, my main goal and vision for this blog is simply this: To continue to glorify God and bring others closer to Him. <3

Are you a homeschool grad?

Yes, I am! I feel so blessed that my mom took so much of her precious time to homeschool my siblings and me; it was a wonderful experience. <3

Favorite candy?

Kit-Kats and Twix! Actually, it's funny, I was just talking to one of my cousins not too long ago about favorite candies and he agreed that Kit-Kats and Twix are one of the best, and I was all like...

But I definitely won't turn down other kinds of candy though, especially if they're chocolate-related. ;)

Olivia's Questions:

Have you watched any "newer" musicals, like Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables or anything like that?

No, I haven't watched those, but I have seen Mary Poppins Returns and The Greatest Showman, which I suppose are kind of more "newer" musicals. :)

What is your favorite thing about each season?

AHHHH, there are so many things I enjoy about the different seasons! But I'll try to actually answer the question right and just say ONE favorite thing I like about each:

-In the Winter, I enjoy the snow, and the colder weather, and the coziness of being inside a warm house in front of a fire, and sweaters and fuzzy blankets and warm drinks (hot chocolate especially) and...... (Alright, I'm sorry, I'm already breaking the rules and saying more than one thing... :P)

-In the Spring, I enjoy the freshness in the air, and the newness about everything as things begin to grow and the weather becomes warmer.

-In the Summer, I like being able to go out without having to bundle up warm first, and the longer days, and fireflies, and summer evenings, and picnics, and.... (Oops, sorry there I go again...)

-In the Fall, I like how the weather becomes cooler, the smell and sound of crispy fallen leaves, and the nostalgic feeling of how it's soon going to be Thanksgiving and Christmas once again. :)

Do you ever dream about what your wedding (especially your wedding dress) might look like? ;)

Yes! I mean really, what girl doesn't? ;) (Well, maybe there actually are some girls out there who don't dream about stuff like that, but... well, the majority of girls I think do. xD) Anyway. YES. I do dream about that many times.

I've gone back and forth between whether I'd want pink to be the main wedding color. Pink, as I said before, is one of my favorite colors. ;) I think light pink bridesmaid dresses would be lovely, but I personally wouldn't prefer the groom and groomsmen to have pink ties or bows.... so.... (yeah, I maybe have thought about this some. :P)

And as for wedding dresses... these are some styles that I like a lot:

ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LACE.

But, of course, as I've gotten older I've realized that as much as I want a perfectly lovely wedding and beautiful wedding dress, the true, bigger importance and desire of mine would be to just get to be with the man I love and who God's called me to be with, even if the wedding wasn't everything I initially dreamed it to be. :)

Do you like Disney movies?

I'm not a die-hard fan of them by any means, but I do enjoy some. It just really depends on the movie. Cinderella and Christopher Robin are a couple newer-ish Disney movies that I liked a lot.

~~~~~~~~~~~

YES! I did it! I FINALLY finished and posted this Q & A!!!

Thank you so much, ladies for all these lovely questions!! Again, I apologize for how extremely long it's taken me to get to actually doing and posting this. But, I FINALLY got it done...YAY!! And if you took the time to actually read through all of it... CONGRATS! You win a virtual plate of chocolate chip cookies! *Gives out special blogiversary chocolate chip cookies* xD So, thanks so much for reading, guys! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)

Well, I do hope you all have a wonderful rest of your week! Write to ya later, and God bless!

Just for a laugh... Legends of Western Cinema Edition!!

Howdy, friends!

I'm thrilled to be participating in this week's blog party, Legends of Western Cinema Week hosted by Olivia, Heidi, and Hamlette!

I thought it'd be fun to do another edition of my "Just for a laugh" series. And this time -- to commemorate this momentous blog party occasion -- we have a western-themed one! So, pull up a chair, sit back, and go ahead and have a good laugh! :D (Oh, but before you sit back, make sure your seat has a back to it first...)

xD Alrighty, let's get into this, shall we?

~~~~~

Person: "Old westerns are boring."
Me and my classic western-loving friends:

Tsk tsk.....



WHY IS THIS SO TRUE IN EVERY WESTERN??
(And I know, I know, I stole this one from Olivia.... but it was just too good to pass up... ;) )



Hush up and give Mr. Eastwood his coffee!


When you ask a quiet person what they're thinking...

Indeed.....

Oh NO you don't!



Hmm... I guess whoever was coming up with the name must have thought it sounded cooler than "The Ranger and Tonto". xD

What world do you live in??

No way!

*Hopes all my Shakiest Gun in the West peeps get this meme* :P

"And how many cookies did you really have?"

So, the truth comes out!

And now, to wrap up all this wild west fun, here's a few funny western-themed skits for y'all! Enjoy! :D

Well, that sure was fun! I hope y'all had a good laugh there, and had as much fun as I did with putting all these memes/videos together! Be sure to check out all the rest of the blog party excitement over at Olivia, Heidi, and Hamlette's blogs!

Write to ya later, and God bless!

~Faith

P.S. Which was your favorite meme and/or video? Do you like westerns? Which western is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

Just for a laugh... 2.0

So, today I thought I'd do a second installment of Just for a laugh which I did a while back. "A merry heart does good, like medicine" (Prov. 17:22), so let's get pumped up and joyful and have a little fun, shall we? :D

Let's kick it off with this clever joke......

Ahahahaahahahahahahaha... :P

How Ninjas Make Pancakes --- FINALLY REVEALED!

Okay okay, so I get it. Some of us are worse at matching clothes and doing all that fashion stuff than others, but come on...

I SAW MY WHOLE LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES

Leviticus 13:40 (NKJV) “As for the man whose hair has fallen from his head, he is bald, but he is clean." :P

Too true, too true...

NOOOOOOO, MOM PLEASE not my fidget spinner that probably no one will care anything about by this time next year! D:

I have a feeling Spain will have a lot to explain about this plain name they've gained from playing this game...

YAS JUST YAS

These just might be the best homemade eclipse glasses around! Man, I wish I had known about making these before the eclipse happened this past summer. Oh well, maybe next time...

I hope you liked that! I sure did. :D Which was your favorite picture?

Also, what do you think of the new fall look? And I've finally done a "face reveal" thingamajig... in other words, just putting a picture of myself on the side there. :P

I hope all of you have a wonderfully blessed and joyful day!

My Top Five Favorite Westerns (Legends of Western Cinema Week)

Howdy, folks!

I'm a bit late posting this, but my dear friend and fellow blogger, Olivia and her friend, Emma are hosting a "Legends of Western Cinema Week" on their blogs this week, where apparently there are supposed to be posts galore pertaining to westerns. So, me, a liker of all things historical, especially western-type things, naturally wouldn't pass up this golden opportunity at participating! (And what a great way of getting me more motivated to post here again...) So I wanted to get at least one post up for this grand occasion before the week was up!

I thought I might tell y'all of five of my favorite western movies, (not in any specific order; and mostly comedies, because clean, family-friendly comedies is another thing I really like :) ). And I'll just give a semi-review of each one while I'm at it. So here we go!

Hot Lead & Cold Feet

This hilarious old west saga involves twin brothers who end up competing for the possession of the run-down town of Bloodshy, founded by their supposedly deceased father.
This one is hilarious stacked up on hilarious! I think my favorite characters would have to be Sheriff Denver (Don Knotts [get used to that name... you're going to be seeing a lot of it in this post. ;)]) and Rattlesnake (Jack Elam).

"You're fast, Denver, but not that fast, nobody's that fast!"

And Jim Dale does an awesome job of playing three parts in this movie, both twin brothers and their father. Mr. Bloodshy (the father) and his assistant, Mansfield, might just be my next favorite characters. (Because how can you just have just ONE favorite character in a movie like this?)

"Mansfield!"

___________________________

The Apple Dumpling Gang

This rollicking gem of hilarious genius tells of slick gambler, Donavan (Bill Bixby), and a great mix-up involving him picking up some "valuables" from the stagecoach for John Wintle. These "valuables" end up being three children, and Donavan finds he's been duped into caring for them.
The children also befriend not-so-bright, but hilarious bandits, Amos (Tim Conway) and Theodore (Don Knotts), which are the ones mainly to blame for the ridiculous hilarity that this movie is.

And yes, of course the other characters, (the children, Donavan, Dusty, the sheriff, and all them) are all wonderful, but I'm sure it wouldn't be half as funny without these two dudes.

But they're really all great, don't get me wrong, it's just that it might get to the end of the week before I was finished talking about all of them. :)

________________________________

The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again

This sequel continues the adventures of Theodore and Amos in their attempt to become law abiding citizens. But they find it a bit difficult when they end up being in the wrong place at the wrong time and get blamed for robbing a bank. Now they're on the run from feared (and cocky) lawman, Marshal Wooly Bill Hitchcock (Kenneth Mars), who they accidentally get the drop on and humiliate on several occasions.

I think I may like this one better than the original. Don Knotts and Tim Conway once again hit the nail on the head with their comical genius. :D

And Wooly Bill Hitchcock, despite his arrogance, is a rather hilarious character. It's especially fun seeing him getting beat up throughout the movie. :P
 

_______________________
The Gunslinger

This adventure, the first in the Witchita Slim Trilogy, follows former outlaw and gunslinger, Wichita Slim (Kenneth Copeland), who is now a born again Christian and is about to become a U. S. Marshal of the Oklahoma Territory. Of course, some of the townsfolk are worried about if he's really changed his ways or not even after several years of going straight, and are hesitant on the idea of him becoming a marshal. And they get in even more of an uproar when on the night of his swearing in, the local bank gets robbed and Witchita Slim appears to have disappeared with the bandits.

I grew up with this movie, and this western is a near and dear one to my heart. :) It was made and produced by Willie George Ministries in the 90s, and it's a wonderful mix of excitement, humor, and the Gospel.

The other two movies in this trilogy are "Covenant Rider" and "Treasure on Eagle Mountain".

It's hard to pick a favorite character, because they're all so grand. And it's also hard to find very good screenshots from this movie as well... :-/ So here's just a few gifs from it that I whipped up for ya.

_______________________

The Shakiest Gun in the West

This classic follows the adventures of Jesse W. Haywood (Don Knotts [Again? Yes, again]) a recent graduate of a dental school in Philadelphia, who ventures out west to become a dentist on the frontier. But he runs into many complications in his new environment, including finding himself tricked into marrying a former outlaw (though he doesn't know that yet, of course), Penelope "Bad Penny" Cushing (Barbara Rhoades), that's now working as a spy to track down a ring of gun smugglers in order to get a pardon from jail.

I would imagine the phrase, "hilarious stacked up on hilarious" would go for this one as well. Well, really, how can you go wrong with Don Knotts involved? Plus a whole other assortment of hilarious (have I used that word already?) characters!

"Abel Swanson, proprietor, at your service."

So here's once again another comedic gem that I would recommend heartily, along with all the others above. :D

So, here ya go --- five of my favorite westerns (at least comedic westerns ;) ). Have you seen any of these? What's your opinion of them? What are YOUR top five favorite westerns?

Have an adventurous, rip-roarin' weekend!
