Clich�s are a special category of weak, flimsy, lazy expression. There's neither elegance nor eloquence in "elegant variation" from plain, unvarnished English.

Ever read a Louis Lamour western that didn't include prominent mentions of a Colt revolving rifle, Spaniards' armor found in a cave, or English boxing champion Jem Mace?

I've seen one Colt revolving rifle, plus one carried by Arthur Hunnicutt in El Dorado. I figure that the rest of 'em that Colt made all went to Louis Lamour characters.

Roy Rogers carried one inside his guitar in "Return Of Paleface." The one with Bob Hope and Jane Russell. Can't believe you missed it, Ken. It's a classic. smile
