I have been known as a U.S. Marshall, and one of the best. The famous shoot out at the OK Corral was just one along with the rest. A tin star was pinned on me quick as a snap, but U.S. Marshall was not actually stated as that. By now you probably know my name, but what did the tin star state as my Real Fame?
Hint

Hey!! I thought it was Cute, and I thought it was United States Ranger!!!!
Well zuni, your opinion, and if you look you will find 3 more of my teasers. Let me know if you can come up with Einsteins third equation
Wyatt Earp! Lawman or Outlaw? (he was both!) You are right that he was known as a U.S. Marshall. And I thought I knew my wild west. Deputy you say??? Anyway, at the time of the OK corral shootout wasn't he the town marshall of Tombstone? Oh well, you got me No stocked lake, no bones - just killed a cow, the carcass is yours. Good job!
Thank you Lycan for the carcass! True he was considered an outlaw too, howbeit he was most famously known as a "Marshall" which in fact is not true
Zuni, you are too much and if you want to "roll eyes" I find your comments offensive, but due to the nature of this site, I will just watch your karma go down. Maybe you could learn a thing or two by cracking open some books Thanks for your opinion, and you might want to look into spell check too

Sman11 ...huh what?
LOL Schatzy...that was funny. I love that line and I just had a visual of Val Kilmer saying it (not a bad sight to behold in the AM). Anyway, Red, this one is GREAT. Going to my favorites. Keep up the good work!
That was a great one. A very fun bit of trivia for me to use in the future. Thanks! good job.

...karma...raptor, are u wiccan?
No IMCUL4E, I am not a wiccan. Why do you ask? I am a searcher
i liked it alot, contrary to the popularity marks. actually, i got it right because of that movie Shanghai Noon. gosh kids these days, huh? just kidding.
Well because of the hint I got the name right, I guess you can't always believe what the history books tell you in school. Great teaser clever
well i just wondered at the karma mention cuz wiccans have the "threefold law" [whatever you do comes back to you times 3] so ok my curiosity is satisfied. Don't burn me at the stake, people!
IMCUL4E, well I still don't understand, and won't burn you at the stake, that went out in the middle ages and we do have the Constitution too.

I never knew that before, so I've learned my "fact for the day" and can now turn off my brain
yay! although i wouldn't mind it right now. i just got in from outside. BRRRR!!
IMCULE4 HUH???
I mean ICULME4E
IMCUL4E...when Red was referring to Karma this is what he was talking about....
"Karma is a reflection upon how well you act in the Braingle community. When you perform a positive action such as getting a teaser approved you will get a little positive karma . If you perform a negative action such as swearing in the chatrooms you will get a little negative karma . Every time you do something on Braingle it will be calculated into your karma value."
"The icons adjacent to your name show everyone your accumulated karma value. This can help you find friendly and helpful friends."
"Additionally, users with too much bad karma will have their account restricted so they can no longer harm our community."
If you click on the symbols beside the name of a user you can find out what each symbol stands for.
Sorry so lengthy, but I thought it might be helpful.

No worries kimberlykay (hope I got someones name right this time) And IMCUL4E....No worries either a smile for each of you
He wasn't a US Marshall, he was a DEPUTY US Marshall...? I guess I don't know much about it, they seem so similar. I didn't understand why you didn't put the riddle in poem form, since it DOES rhyme nicely, you should emphasize that! Good goin'!
