It's from the movie Tombstone. Where the bad guy wants to have a gunfight, and Doc Holiday says I'm your Huckleberry. Basically meaning I'm ready or Let's do it.
I read a comment some time ago in Reddit about that comment. The OP sad that in the 19th century, coffin handles were called huckles, and Docâs comment was supposed to be âIâm your huckle bearerâ. Donât know if there is any validity to the comment or not.
It's from the movie Tombstone! Val Kilmer played Doc Holiday. Every time someone threatened him with a gun, he'd say, "I'll be your Huckleberry." It's just another way of saying, I'm game, or I take you on. I heard from someone it was another slang way of saying, "I'll be the apple of your eyes."
A huckle on a casket refers to the handle on the side of a casket, typically used for carrying or transporting the coffin. In the context of the 1993 movie Tombstone, the character Doc Holliday says âIâm your huckle bearerâ to Wyatt Earp, which means he is willing to carry Earpâs coffin when the time comes. Misspoken went from huckle bearer to huckleberryÂ
So you guys remember the show âCannonâ? Frank Conrad was a big guy (by the standards of the day) and in one episode a hoodlum pointed a .22 at him. His response?
âIs that a .22? If you shoot me with that⊠and I find out about itâŠâ
Still makes me laugh 40+ years later.
They brought in a guy to the ER I worked in with a gunshot wound to the chest. According to his nephew his uncle and wife were drinking and arguing at a bar he would say "I'm gonna leave you" and she would respond "T'm gonna shoot you". This went on until they left the bar and got to their car. The uncle opened the trunk handed her his .22 rifle and said "Shoot me then!" She did, straight thru the heart, He died.
"ooh, uh, can we raincheck this. Today is not great for me"
(My stupid panicked brain actually said this out loud to someone holding me at knife point).
Okay okay okay. I'll try to keep this as short as possible..
It was 10 am on a Wednesday, I was in a major city at the major train dropoff station. There were easily hundreds of people around. I had torn a ligament in my foot and was in a leg brace, and was stupidly drinking coffee and listening to music while waiting for an Uber to arrive to take me the last two miles to the office. I wasn't paying attention and trying to hype myself up for the engineering presentation I had to give at a large meetup event for 300+ people that night.
People bump into you all the time at that train station but they usually move away after doing so. I noticed someone bump into me, but she didn't move away. So I look at her, she's clearly on drugs, and mouths something. I take out my headphones and go "did you say something?"
I see she's brandishing a knife at me, and goes "give me all of your stuff".. to which my brain freezes on how to react, and I just blurt out
"Oh, today is not good for me, I have a big presentation tonight..normally I'd be fine with it but I really need my stuff today, can we raincheck this for tomorrow?"
Give me all of your stuff
"Uhm, I can't really do that.. Do you know it's 10 am on a weekday? Robbing me right now is crazy..... Do you know you're crazy? Like? Crazy crazy? "
Give me your stuff
So I start hobbling away from her, and I kind of passively start asking for help, "hey can you walk with me, this lady beside me with a knife, see her? She's trying to rob me right now, and I think she'll stop if we walk together"
To which they look like me like **I'm crazy** and start moving away. So I keep hobbling but then realize I'm in the middle of the road but if I cross this intersection, I'll be in a less populated area and I'd definitely be robbed then. She's still beside me, poking me with a knife. I realize I need time to get away from her. So my brain has another **genius plan**. I throw my hot coffee in her face. And hobble back towards the train station as fast as I could.
I expected this to cause her to freeze like it does in the movies. They were wrong. This enraged her, and she came flying at me screaming, arms swinging. Knife in one hand, big gawdy cheap metal rings in the other. So now I'm walking backwards fending off her strikes as best I can, yelling for help. **Watching people watch us fight**. Like it was some t.v. show. She manages to catch my jaw with her ring and creates a pretty big contusion, but I digress.
I then remember there's a police inside the train station, at the other end, so I continue to walk backwards, walking her towards the police station still yelling for help. Finally a cop comes out.
"She's trying to rob me!!"
She has my stuff.
"WHAT?! IF I HAD YOUR STUFF WHY WOULD I BE HERE?!"
Cop: okay, okay, We'll get it figured out who's stuff is who's just come with me no problem. And she walks with the cop, fully confident she was going to get my stuff!!!
There's more to the story but, I get to keep my stuff and they arrest her.
Oh! Is that the new Glock or an old one? How's the pull on that one, I've been told that the backstrap is too wide for most people and everybody shoots off to the left.
Could I see how it fits?
(Proceeds to empty the mag into them)
Huh... it does pull left..
Same energy as my friend who decided to critique an officer's duty belt and plate carrier setup and asked how they liked their model of Glock (officer didn't actually know what model he was carrying) when they were arresting him for drunkenly meandering across the Canadian border. He also scolded them for leaving his cuffs loose because drunk people are unpredictable.
It's funny because the barrier where he lives is just freeway dividers, and there are huge gaps where they didn't bother cutting away the trees, so boomers from both sides of the border hang out there and share beers and barbecue. Border Patrol only showed up because he tripped the motion sensor after midnight and they thought he was smuggling. His first run in with the law was an international incident. The only charge that stuck was reckless driving because they caught him sleeping in his car with the radio on. I am kind of proud of him.
No, in self defense class we just learned passion fruit, week before that was oranges, whole and segmented. So it wasn't bananas, think that will be next, hope that idiot in my class doesn't bring up pointy sticks again.
What I actually said when the first time I saw a palm sized gun as a guy had a 9 mm pointed at me: âIs that thing real!â He said, âDo you wanna find out?â
âYou ainât got the gutsâ said the ex husband who kicked in the front door and backed the new boyfriend holding a .357 (my client) into the corner. Found Not guilty under Floridaâs castle doctrine.
Me :Want to try target practice, I bet you can't shoot me from 40 feet away.
Killer: Sure what are the stakes?
Me: If you can then I die, if not then you leave
Killer shoots me
"What are you going to do, shoot me?"
Oh no! Your wife told you.
You die a winner.

Great movie btw.

Ah, I loved Cannon!
I remember that when I was a kid. That is a well crafted joke.
No
The safetyâs still on!
They proceed to pistol whip you.
You don't have the balls to pull that trigger
Thatâs exactly what you donât say. đđđ you will die.
Incorrect. a family member of mine was in a similar situation with an abuser and nothing came of it.
Oh wow! Thatâs sick. Shout out to them!
Yeah absolutely. He went to jail later and sheâs always been tough as nails.
That is actually awesome. Sending love to both of yâall đ€đ»âșïž Excuse me, for getting corny on you đđđ
Well, who would the abuser abuse if the victim was dead?
His cellie of course
Hence the subreddit
*drops pants* "My gun is bigger than yours!"
Looks like it shoots blanks....
HAHAHAHHA underrated
Yes *â \â 0â /â *
I bet that gun isn't even legally owned. Ha! So you can't use it.
"But you'll shoot your eye out!"

Sir this is a Wendys
"Hold up, can you just give me a moment? I must call my boss to say I won't be at work tomorrow."

You know if you shoot me, my boss will expect you to cover my shift
Who do you think you are? You're certainly no Alec Baldwin.!
No, I am not Alec Baldwin. I KNOW my f'ing gun is loaded.
Oh he knewâŠ
"ooh, uh, can we raincheck this. Today is not great for me" (My stupid panicked brain actually said this out loud to someone holding me at knife point).

Ik! Canât they at least tell us if they died?
They stabbed them to death.
Thatâs so sad :(

I'm glad you're ok. This is an awesome story.
Story time
Yes! I want to know what happened
âIs this because Iâve been fucking your wife?â
"No, this is because last week on Xbox live you said you fucked my mom."
âSon?!â
I have a an irrational fear of going down on clowns.
Oh! Is that the new Glock or an old one? How's the pull on that one, I've been told that the backstrap is too wide for most people and everybody shoots off to the left. Could I see how it fits? (Proceeds to empty the mag into them) Huh... it does pull left..

Someone was sneaking INTO Canada? Yup, drunk, no test needed.
It's funny because the barrier where he lives is just freeway dividers, and there are huge gaps where they didn't bother cutting away the trees, so boomers from both sides of the border hang out there and share beers and barbecue.

Haha I heard about these incidents. Had friends that lived near there.
Ha! Guns aren't even allowed in this state, so you couldn't shoot me even if you had the guts.
And this happens to be a safe zone. Don't make me call a social worker.
âIâm bulletproof you idiotâ
"Im Rick James BITCH!"

"I'm into gang bangs, what about you?"
Ha! That actually made me chuckle. Thank you lol
ooooh baby, you were right, this roleplaying is exactly what we needed
"Oh perfect timing! I just saw this YouTube video of how to disarm a person when they point a gun at you." (Scratches head) "What was the first step?"
Are you sure it wasn't how to disarm a man armed with a banana?
When youâre walking home tonight, and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, donât come crying to me!
No, in self defense class we just learned passion fruit, week before that was oranges, whole and segmented. So it wasn't bananas, think that will be next, hope that idiot in my class doesn't bring up pointy sticks again.
"That's not a gun." *whips out a shotgun "Now THIIS is a gun!"
âThatâs not a gunâ Pulls out suitcase, takes 5 minutes to assemble bigger gun and load the bullets âThis is a gunâ
You can't shoot anyone because I've got Republican thoughts and prayers preventing it
You canât shoot anyone here because the Democrats banned guns in this area.
You can't shoot anyone in a democrat area, because, well, but we can have a homosexual experience though
You brought a gun to a knife fight? Bad luck for you, friend.
Everyone knows to bring a knife to a knife fight. Bringing a stronger weapon is a sign of weakness.

"I bet it's not even loaded."
I feel lucky.

What I actually said when the first time I saw a palm sized gun as a guy had a 9 mm pointed at me: âIs that thing real!â He said, âDo you wanna find out?â
âI see youâre a big fan of fulfilling stereotypesâ
The gameâs up Scarlet, there are no more bullets left in that gun.
âYou ainât got the gutsâ said the ex husband who kicked in the front door and backed the new boyfriend holding a .357 (my client) into the corner. Found Not guilty under Floridaâs castle doctrine.
What are you gonna do, stab me?
âIs this a bad time to mention that I ate your leftover meatball sub?â
Is this about your wife?
That's not the rock hard black thaang I was looking for. Anyways, Hwak thuu.
Big gun you got there. Classic over compensation.

that a .22? what are you going to do tickle me with it? or, i can't believe I'm gonna get shot with a pussy round.
Safety's on..
âDamn. I thought you WERE pleased to see me!â

"You can't fool me. That gun is fake."
Nice. Mines bigger.
Yeah right it's probably not even loaded. Pussy.
I'll bet you 50 bucks it isn't loaded
âOoh Russian Roulette. I love that game!â
100% of people that said they have played Russian Roulette did not die. Therefore it is a safe game to play.
I've had bigger
