With the aid of his trusty mule, Nubbin, U.S. Marshall Forsythe Grubbs begins his quest to capture the notorious Coddington Borax by putting up wanted posters throughout the Midwest. Shortly after this picture is taken, however, Grubbs shoots off one of his toes in a freak gun-hammering accident and is forced to delay the manhunt for two weeks.

Maybe the Marshall should have held the posters while Nubbin hammered.

Was Marshall Grubbs the great-uncle of Barney Fife?

I’ve decided Coddington would not be such a bitter angry Armenian if his parents had given him a name to be proud of like Corky, Forsythe or Nubbin. A kid named Coddington is basically asking for a “Kick Me” sign to be taped to his back during recess. Naturally, he would have a sign mania when he got older as a way of lashing out on all of those mean kids who kicked him during recess.

I mean really! Do we have to keep seeing theology marshals shooting themselves in the foot? It’s becoming a national pastime for us all! It’s getting so a good Calvinist can’t shut down a roaming Armenian without personal injury.

The story left off the bit of how the Sheriff was predestined and forordained to shoot off his toe. This allows Coddington to get further away. Which is also predestined. I love it when a plan comes together!

The iniquity of the Amorite (i.e., Coddington) is not yet complete. He may run from the Marshall or the posse but he can’t hide from the all seeing God Who in His mercy will have the heretical Borax repent of His Anti-Calvinistic ways and come to the truth (here now or later)!
However, being man-hunted by an army of angry mules and Armenians who keep getting dargged into theological discussions (whether they know Arminius, Wesley, Finney or not) is another story.
One can not predict the revenge of those so defaced and humiliated. Obviously the mule and immigrant communities are abuzz with Coddigton Borax!
