Bart: I better go check out this Mongo character.
[Bart reaches for his gun]
Jim: Oh no, don't do that.

More to the story..
I was part of a 'gunfighters' acting group. We staged shows, raising money for childrens charities. Mock western... real fun stuff. Had some good people teach us decently realistic moves, acted with guns, made some pretty big low explosive booms.... Tons of fun.

I was usually staged under one of two names. Mongo, or 'The Wall'.
So named because one of my main parts was to act as 'The Wall' people got bounced off in the fight scenes.

You know.... "Throw him against the Wall!" (Evil Laugh, BWAHAHA)

After that. That, and faking blowing things up, were my favorite parts.
