I am watching old westerns, and Hopalong just said to his little partners, remember and be proud that you are Americans. There are millions of kids in the world that would love to be American!
Man times have changed for the worse.
God Bless America!!!!!

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

If you called a disabled person "hopalong" today you would be a vilified pariah.
Amazing how insensitive people were back in the old days.

And I don't mean that you should go around calling people names, just that people now, want to cry about anything and everything.

I worked beside a fella called "shorty" for 4 years.........and don't know his real name. His shirts even had shorty on them.

Yes, it is amazing how touchy people are today.

Everybody had derogatory nicknames back in the day.
One guys name was canvasback,cause every time there was a brawl in the hotels he was always getting knocked out.

Had a boss we called step and a half.He had polio or something when he was a kid.
Getting called names was by far the least form of abuse visited on people back in the day.
Had another boss with an extremely large head-his name was punkinhead.

For you "Hoppy" fans. Here is a picture of a panel truck I got to spend a lot of time working on. What is really cool about this panel truck is it looks just like William Boyds parade truck. What makes it super cool is the fact that it IS Hopalong Cassidy's parade truck. Not a reproduction, the real deal. And yes I have driven it.
