Reply #53: "Rattlesnake Judo" is a total keeper! [View All]

Or rattlesnake juggling, if you are fighting a team of 'em.
A tricky feat.

When I read that, I flashed on a movie I saw as a kid - "shakiest gun in the West" with Don Knotts. In one scene, he chases off some critter (maybe a skunk?) with a whip, and the crowd was acting all impressed. He shrugs it off, saying "It waren't nothin'" but then realizes that the "whip" was actually a rattlesnake.

Thanks for the term, the ideas, and the memory!
