"I didn't know Little Joe's middle name was Francis. "

(that is because once upon a time you were not a little girl with a crush on little joe. also, i liked his horse the best- it was a paint, also tonto's horse scout was a paint. i breed paint horses.)
(i bet you don't know little joe's horse's name.)

The dude who played McCoy on Star Trek. He was in westerns...and he looks weird in a cowboy hat!! (at least to me!)

Sorry, Nat. Fez already guesssed him. He WAS in "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral", but that wasn't a TV show. He was also seen in an episode of "Bonanza", but he didn't play a western hero in that.

jollykay- I'll bet you're right!
