John Wayne was a fag.

I just tried to sit through True Grit a few weeks ago, 'cause I love Charles Portis and the book is amazing, but I couldn't do it. Rio Bravo or the Searchers on the other hand.

In what movie did John Wayne say (you have to say it in your hokiest JW voice):

Have you ever been to North Vietnam?

It's an easy one, BUT, it's great to say to people when they are annoying you and you need them to stop and think for a second.

Have you heard that tape where he says something like "those indians wanted to keep the country for themselves and that was just selfish"? He sounded pretty drunk too.

John Wayne made a lot of great movies, from Stagecoach to the Searchers. But also so much crap that it is easy to forget the good stuff.

I like the one where he said, "Go ahead, make my day."

John Wayne was a Nazi
He liked to play SS
Kept a picture of Apolph,
Tucked in his cowboy vest

I don't think it's in Sands of Iwo Jima, I saw that last Spring. Maybe Rooster Cogburn, but I haven't seen that for decades. The question was posed to me by a friend and I'm stumped.

I thought this was a quiz and you knew the answer, I thought googling would be cheating. I'll see if I can ask around.
