Latigo Flint Wants Your Help

It's important to have a great trademark phrase to say whenever you're staring down another gunfighter. It must be unique, convey ultimate confidence, and a touch of crazy. The best so far is Doc Holiday's as played by Val Kilmer in Tombstone: "I'll be your huckleberry."

Currently Latigo Flint's is: "Two roads diverged in a wood and you took the one that lead to a confrontation with Latigo Flint... for that I pity you."

It leaves a little something to be desired. The concept is good, high points for uniqueness, but it runs a tad long. Before Latigo Flint can finish saying it, people tend to either wander off or punch Latigo Flint in the face.

Latigo Flint is determined to find a new one - the all time best, for it's only right that the greatest Quickdraw of all time should also have the greatest stare-down phrase. If you'd like to help, you may submit original suggestions by using the "Comment" link below this post.

How about:

"I'll be your Pomegranate."

I've got it!

"Eat this, Tony Danza."

Right? Because your opponent will be totally baffled as to why you called him Tony Danza, so you'll be able to sneak in with a couple of good shots before he even knows what you meant.
And plus, there's a little "Who's the Boss?" innuendo there that ALWAYS works in these scenarios.

The Tony Danza one is good, very good... Once it's explained.

Unless someone will volunteer to follow Latigo Flint around 24/7 so they can explain the meaning to bystanders after Latigo Flint utters it I think we need to keep searching.

Seems a little too long though, doesn't it Kid?

"I've had enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells, and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you've had enough of me?"

Try it a few times, it rolls off the tongue quicker than it looks.

Or how about this?

"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man."

How about: "You'd better grab your cock in one hand, your soul in the other and pray to God you don't lose 'em both."

"Your Boots are Untied"

or

"I hope your mama told you to wear clean underwear"
(the two 'wears' so close to each other may create an illusion of redundancy... but when spoken with proper emphasis, it could work)

-A humble servant
