A grainy image of one of the gritty residents of this dried-up village. All sand and deadwood.

The low warm sunlight, combined with heavy-handed vignetting, really add to the old-western vibe. The question is, does he truly have the grit to match his portrayal? Or is his six-shooter not even loaded.

In the likes of Deadwood, true grit doesn't come from courage or perseverance in the face of adversity but from the bottle, from always being loaded with a six shooter of rye whisky. This hombre may look tough, may leave a trail of gritty sand wherever it perches, but the truth is that it's as despicable as all the rest of the regions regulars: the no-good double-crossing vermin rat-faced squirrel and that no-account sheriff with a mean streak that stretches clear across town. Even the sign for Deadwood was nailed on upside-down with rusty nails from that swindling Rusty blackbird fella. You best avoid Deadwood, partner. I'm only gunna say it once .... spit.

I can't imagine what kind of conversations went on in your house when goose was growing up.
