Crazy Eyes

So I tell the husband: Hey when Gibbs the Pug loses his shit he looks exactly like the bad guy from "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again."

And the husband is all: What?

Me: You know, Crazy Eyes! They guy from the movie "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again?" He's the guy. With the Crazy Eyes.

Husband: You mean the beloved character actor Jack Elam who appeared in more than 100 westerns?

Me: No. I mean the guy from "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again!"

Husband: Honey, that's Jack Elam. He's known for being the villain in westerns. He's a famous character actor.

Me: Maybe so… but I know him from….

Husband: YES, we know you know him from "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again."

Me: WHAT!? It's an American classic!

Husband: Yeah… it's exactly like "Casablanca" or "Miracle on 34th Street."

Me: Yes! Like "Pete's Dragon," "Pippi Longstocking" and "Darby O'Gill and the Little People."

Husband: ???

Eh. Sometimes you have to just walk away and call it a draw.

And Gibbs?


Totally looks like beloved character actor Jack Elam, the bad guy from "The Apple Dumpline Gang Rides Again" and western genre villian.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Jack Elam was also the crazy doctor in Cannonball Run, which is what The Aggie would know him for.

SECOND EDITOR'S NOTE: The Aggie would have also included the Empire Strikes Back as an American classic.

Why is The Aggie (aka my husband) talking in third person.

And why didn't you add those things when giving me the lecture?

Also, Agent Gibbs, I'm sorry but Mummah NAILED IT.

I did say that. Someone's being a revisionist herself. Come on, like I'd leave out Cannonball Run and ESB. PUH-LEEZE.
