    Don't Kid a Kidder - Episode 113
    2024/09/15

    For two bits per day plus expenses, you can hire Billy Narrator, boy detective to solve your mysteries. Where’s my missing cat? Does Georgia like me? Where’d that corpse come from? Listen to find out!

This Gun in My Hand is perpetually set in 1939. Patsy Kelly’s next movie after 1939 was released in October 1940, The Hit Parade of 1941, also known as Romance and Rhythm.

    Cut Down in His Prime - Episode 111
    2024/08/22

    Falk misses! Who is The Loner? What are you, some kind of Rambling Man? A Wanderer? You find a dead body there, fella? Every day you find another body? Listen to find out!

    This episode was Cut Down in His Prime, episode 111 of This Gun in My Hand, found on the side of a dusty road and dusted off by Rob Northrup. Like all other episodes, this one is available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. Why are so many people alone in this town? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. I think it still counts as illegal breaking and/or entering if a door is unlocked, maybe even if the door is ajar. Or maybe that’s vampire rules, entering without an invitation. While we’re debunking legal myths, you can ask an undercover cop if they’re a cop, they are not required by law to tell you. And declaring yourself a “sovereign citizen” is not One Weird Trick to convince cops or prosecutors that their laws don’t apply to you.

    The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

    This Gun Is My Hand - Episode 110
    2024/08/11

    After talking to a shady booker for a shortwave station, Falk’s body doesn’t seem to work like it used to. Will Falk’s gun still fire? When did he take off his shirt? Who won the story seed contest? Listen to find out!

    This Gun Is My Hand, episode 110 of This Gun in My Hand, was ushered into this world by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. How can you tell I’ve grown attached to firearms? This Gun is My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. I was confusing Roger Corman (born 1926) with David Cronenberg (born 1943). Corman would have been 14 in 1939. Cronenberg would have been a smile on his mother’s lips and a twinkle in his father’s eye.
    2. Ms. Harriet’s lullaby is derived from The Creed of a United States Marine, aka The Rifleman’s Creed.
    https://www.usmcu.edu/Research/Marine-Corps-History-Division/Frequently-Requested-Topics/Marines-Rifle-Creed/
    3. You might appreciate this episode more after watching twelve seasons of the delightful BBC series Call the Midwife. Sadly my local library doesn’t have season thirteen yet so I can’t vouch for that one.

    2024/08/03
    How will Falk track down a grave robbing killer with special guest star Patsy Kelly in tow and his narrator on strike? Listen to find out!They Can’t All Be Bangers, episode 109 of This Gun in My Hand, was banged together by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. How do I produce consistent bangers? With This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Anecdote time! My uncle had a sheep named Hajji which butted me to the ground when I was 8 or 10. I don’t know if that’s standard behavior for sheep or if his was just a jerk. Probably named after the hero of the 1954 movie The Adventures of Hajji Baba.https://youtu.be/VUzig-jpMRU?si=MM5i0B0hWPB2VX8G2.

    In gratitude for his assistance, Lord and Lady Pelennor invite Falk to visit their estate. Is there no end to their generosity? Is there no escape? Is chili better than rashers for your supper? Listen to find out!

    Zildjian’s Away to Shropshire, episode 108 of This Gun in My Hand, was lorded over by Rob Northrup.

How do I resolve the endless yearning between two hearts and bring them together? With This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. This episode is a spin-off from the fake commercial “Henley’s Away to Shropshire” in episode 73, and partly inspired by season one of Sanditon.

    2. Another example of rich or middle class Brits taking strange children into their homes is Wuthering Heights. I’m aware of the fan theory that Heathcliff is an illegitimate son of Mr. Earnshaw, which explains why Earnshaw would favor the boy over his own children. But the cover story Earnshaw apparently expects everyone to believe is that he adopted a kid off the street at random. As Eighteenth Century Brits were wont to do, I guess?

    3. Lord Pelennor uses the word “arse,” so it’s not cussing by American standards even though they pronounce it exactly the same way as that other word. Not going to mark this episode as having “explicit language.”
