    This would be a great opening for the Andy Griffith show. Yep, Andy showing Opie to shoot his first space invader and Aunt Bee cooking it for dinner. That's the America I want to go back to.

    Scotland: I can nae longer go shooting. It's impossible for me to fire a gun. If you check me medical records, you'll see I have a crippling arthritis in me index fingers.
    *Scotland holds up his fingers,which are misshapen*
    Scotland: I got it from space invaders in 1977.
    io9(er): Oh yeah, that was a pretty addictive video game.
    Scotland: Video game?!

    You are defeated! Instead of shooting where I was, you should have shot at where I was going to be. Muahahahaha!

    And Chuck taught me that you need Tom Sawyer to play Missile Command.

    So Tom Sawyer is musical bacon!

    The photo is dated as June 1960. Too late to be from an episode of Tightrope since the series ended in May of 1960 and did not have a second season. Mike began filming a western movie, The Dalton That Got Away shortly thereafter. This might have just been a candid photo on the film set.

    And let's not forget Gene Autry's 1935 sf cowboy serial set at the Radio Ranch, The Phantom Empire. There are at least 2 episodes available at Youtube.

    Holding your sports coat wide open with your non-shooting hand? Now that's a technique I've never seen before.

    @Ron Hogan: Standard android-confusing technique. Your average robotic gunslinger is easily offset by asymmetry in one's wardrobe, try it.
