I'm your huckleberry

Saw a bumper sticker from a Texas gun shop with the saying "I'm your huckleberry," from "Tombstone" of course.

That started me wondering if that saying was really an old West version of "I'm the droid you're looking for" or if it was just made up for the movie. Seems that it really does date back to at least the 1930s if not earlier.

Fascinating!

That's awesome! I always wondered what that phrase meant. Very cool.

This is my favorite quote and Val Kilmer was great in that movie, the only good part.
