I'm your huckleberry
For those of you that this phrase triggered something, good catch. For those of you that it didn't, it is reference to the movie I watched recently for the first time, Tombstone. No, not the Kevin Costner-as-Wyatt Earp one. The other one. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and its star power. Particularly with Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday who uttered this phrase at least 3 times if I'm not mistaken [click here if you have sound]. As inquisitive as I am, I pondered what exactly "I'm your huckleberry" meant. I mean, knew Huckleberry Finn, and had watched Huckleberry Hound. I even knew that a huckleberry was some kind of fruit. But what does it mean if you are someone's huckleberry? So off to the internet I went where I was quick to find that there were hundreds of post posing the same question, with answers I might add. So I ask you, is there any thing, or phrase that I could write about that wouldn't already exist on the web. I reckon that no one has ever wondered about something. But I just can't think of one.
