Cut Down in His Prime - Episode 111

Painted pulp novel cover. A young man with red hair stands with his thumb up to hitch a ride. He wears a white button-down shirt with sleeves rolled up. There's a rip on the chest. He holds a reddish-brown jacket thrown over his shoulder and wears dark gray pants. The background is a collage of different scenes: railroad tracks, two cars crashed next to an electric pole, a small country gas station. On the left side it says "CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME" and in smaller letters near the bottom, "COMPLETE & UNABRIDGED."

Falk misses! Who is The Loner? What are you, some kind of Rambling Man? A Wanderer? You find a dead body there, fella? Every day you find another body? Listen to find out!

This episode was Cut Down in His Prime, episode 111 of This Gun in My Hand, found on the side of a dusty road and dusted off by Rob Northrup. Like all other episodes, this one is available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. Why are so many people alone in this town? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. I think it still counts as illegal breaking and/or entering if a door is unlocked, maybe even if the door is ajar. Or maybe that’s vampire rules, entering without an invitation. While we’re debunking legal myths, you can ask an undercover cop if they’re a cop, they are not required by law to tell you. And declaring yourself a “sovereign citizen” is not One Weird Trick to convince cops or prosecutors that their laws don’t apply to you.

Credits:
The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
