Elvis would visit with Sammy and they would talk guns.

And on at least one occassion, Elvis shot his TV (and his Pantera!)

He was in two episodes of The Rifleman, Two Ounces Of Tin and The Most Amazing Man.

Sammy also was a quick draw competitor. He was very fast.

"My eye, my eye! Where's my eye?!" (eye rolling around on a dance floor). Old Bob and Tom skit.

Nothing meant by it. Just not very often I find myself in threads that old. Didn't even realize it for the first whole page.

That's because they are from before the switch to the new INGO software.

Out of all the Hollywood actors, Sammy was considered the best and fastest at gun handling. He had an amazingly quick draw.

I liked when people clapped, and he looked at them and said, "Hey, I wouldn't do it if I wasn't any good."

What a national treasure that guy was! I didn't know he could do that but I'm not surprised. Anyone who could tap dance like that guy could probably figure out how to do all kinds of tricks like that.

You guy’s know Sammy was a satanist right?

Apparently only briefly...

The Candy Man was a Satanist

HOLLYWOOD, CA (KAIT) - In a new investigative report released this week stated that Sammy Davis Jr. was reported to have been a member of the church of Satan. The report states that in Sammy's autobiography,

"Sammy Davis Jr. grew up a Christian, and then became Jewish by choice, then later a Satanist. After leaving the church of Satan, Davis returned to his Jewish beliefs."

Pretty sure he wasn't cross eye dominant.

I can fix that.

My brother in law is an internationally recognized modern dancer and chorographer. It was no surprise to me that the first time he picked up a handgun he could shoot it accurately every time. I showed him what to do the first time, and from there it was a wonder to see. A dancer at that level has almost perfect control over body position, being able to duplicate it at will, holding it as long as necessary, and going into another position without effort.
