Simpson fans....

Does anyone know who rorey calhoon is? Mr Burns names one of the puppies he steals rorey calhoon because it stands up on it’s back legs? I have seen the epsiode countless times but have never found out who it is. Anyone?

Rory Calhoun. Famous horse opera actor. Died in 1999

wow! thanks for the quick answer. I guess instead of posting a whole new thread for this I will ask it here. What the hell is a horse opera???

Anything else?

Western Star Rory Calhoun Dies gives you a good bit of info.

A horse opera is I suppose like a soap opera except in the old west eg. The Virginian , Bonanza etc.

You know, a horse opera! Like an Oater!

It’s sort of like a space opera, but with six-shooters and horses instead of laser guns and spaceships.

Yeah, and the mystical one says “Use the horse, Luke”

picmr, if you’d said that in Callahan’s, the clientele would have all held their noses and ran screaming into the parking lot.

I hope you know what a complement that is.
