What a treasure!

What Rolan said. I had to go back and look at it again.

What a couple of terrific stories. Thank you for sharing them and congrats on the CUT. Sean Connery gave you that nickname, that is just so cool. Then Elmer Keith too, simply awesome.

great stories - for my first visit to this part of SF;
a nick name given by sean connery: can't beat the cool of that!

You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure when your shift is over you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson.

I've met a few celebrities while on duty. When I was in the Mounted Unit we escorted the Queen of England to Church Hill Downs in Louisville for the KY Derby. Met several during the World Equestrian Games at the KY Horse Park in 2010. I got a picture with Jesse James when he was in Iraq shooting an episode of Monster Garage. He offered to pin stripe one of my ASV's.

FN In MT, congratulations on your CUT. This is one of the coolest threads ever.

Amazing thread

Okay, late to the party...way late! Very cool stories and everyone should read this thread. Like Rolan and sigfreund, I thought the photo was just part of the cast. How very interesting, Frank!

Awesome! Some real living history there. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

And I liked the bridge scene where Connery fires the Tommy Gun and says "Enough of this running ****"

Very misleading title to this thread.

But it's an awesome thread non the less. I finally had to see why it's been so popular, now I know.


Frank your the man.

I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaay late to the party. Thread title definitely misleading... I've read it every time I come into the lair but never clicked on it... Two nights ago my dad and I watched "The Untouchables" on dvd that I had purchased probably 6 months ago still in the wrapper... I come in here with it fresh in my mind and decide to click on it.

WOW! That's incredible.. Personally receiving a nickname from Sean Connery. So very awesome. And that photo, at first glance I just assumed you were the Canadian Mountie or something.

Appreciate the kind words Gentleman!

I added "Me and the Cast" to the TITLE line. Maybe a bit less confusing now.

FN in MT

Forget the Scots git, what was Charles Martin Smith like? j/k

Seriously cool picture

Why is thread still stickied? Last post July 16.

Is this show even on anymore?

Hello?

Very cool, thanks for sharimg!

I'm thankful for the sticky, lest I would have missed it.

Very cool FN in MT. One of my favorite movies and the character of Sean Connery is one I've come to admire; an old-seasoned veteran in a dangerous job (be it LE/Military), still maintaining the standard.

Wow - let me be the latest (for this moment) to say that I'm late to a really, really good thread.

People want to know why the thread is still up. It's up because it's neat. It's as simple as that.

Our intrepid board member pretty much blends in with the rest of the cast in the pic.



Go to page 2, and what do you see? He's hanging out with the legendary Elmer Keith.



For those who have to ask, I gotta ask you- why you gotta ask?

Meeting Connery and the cast of the film is cool, but meeting Keith is incredible!

I had to look up Elmer Keith, and I'm glad that I did.

I can't believe I waited this long to check out this thread. Packed with awesome.
