No, wrong McCoys. I presume that you never saw Ian McShane in "Deadwood".

I watch almost no television other than THE RED
GREEN SHOW. And the Wikipedia articles do not
decipher the "Four McCoys" reference under
DEADWOOD or any of the links such as those to McShane and Swearingen.
However, in a restaurant, I always sit with my
back to the wall, a trick taught me by Will Bill
Hickock. He was shot on one of the few occasions
when he failed to follow his own advice. Goes to
show: had he been in the dark room at the time,
he'd probably have lived out a life as lone as that of Wyatt Earp.
Earp lived to 1927 or so. He used to sit in bars
until someone got talking about the West and then
would hold his peace until someone mentioned "the
Gunfight at the OK Corral". As the whoppers
started flowing about the escapades of Wyatt
Earp, he would finally speak up and identify
himself. If someone doubted him, he just pulled
out his California Driver's License. Earp died
of a heart attack in traffic on the way to the
Rose Bowl Game, a rather discordant end to one of the icons of US mythology.
But, still, always either stay in the dark room
or sit with your back to the wall!
