Profile

Jim, better known to the world as the Waco Kid, is a quick-witted gunslinger with the fastest hands this side of Dodge City. Probably the other side, too - the Earth is round, after all. How fast is he? Quick, name the fastest thing you can think of. Okay, maybe not THAT fast, Einstein. Point is, he's faster than you. Fast enough to take you out, treat your gunshot wound, tie your shoelaces together, and shoot you again before you even realize he's moved.

The funny thing about being the best, though, is that everyone knows who they've got to beat if they want to take your place...

Well, it got so that every ticked-off prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking down the street when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around... and there I was, face-to-face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass. So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle... and I've been there ever since.

Fortunately for Jim, he's recently dug himself out of his funk for the time being to help a good friend of his named Bart. After all, there wouldn't be a movie if he hadn't, would there?

Still, every now and then, he likes to get away from it all for a while and pop in for a drink or two...or three. To tell you the truth, probably closer to seven or eight on a slow night. Working for Mel Brooks can take its toll on a man, after all.

Be advised: he hails from a world in which the fourth wall does not exist. Not to worry, though - your canon is safe.
