Personally, I thought my poll on Midgets vs. Dwarves had more suspense.
Danged old Ming, though.
You know how he is.

In regards to Captain Hook, clearly he has the same amount of credibility and non wussyness as John Wayne. ie, they both suck.
Who is the piracy world Clint Eastwood equivalent? and more to the point why are the only examples given so far just actors, and why can we say Clint Eastwood and John Wayne, they've both been in many weasterns surely they didn't play the same character in every movie
Pirates are pretty sneaky too. They are much more likely to do you in through treachery. Got to be worth something.

Although the cowboys would all be standing around in the middle of the street at noon while the pirates would sneak into their house at 3 am and cut there throats. Or at least set up some cannons pointing straight down high street or the ok corral and wait till the cowboys show up at about noon.
Sure. Any cowboy worth a damn would know to post a night sentry.
Another reason why pirates, not realizing this, would be...toast.

Pirates are clearly a lot cooler than Cowboys so I'd have to go with Pirates. Not that cowboys aren't cool, they just don't seem as cool as pirates.
Maybe it's just because we've got a history of pirates but never had any cowboys here.
Anyway, Pirates are well armed boats loaded with bloodthirsty brutes who go around assaulting well armed convoys and cowboys just work with cows.

Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy. We've got both kinds
"surely they didn't play the same character in every movie"
LOL 'the Man with No Name'? All his other characters were the Man with No Name, except with a name.
Same with Wayne.
No matter WHO the 'character' was, it was always really John 'I'm too special for the Marines' Wayne.
Pirates:
Blackbeard
Bluebeard
the Other Beard Colours
The guy who attacked Charleston, SC
The dude from the 'Crimson Pirate'
The Dread Pirate Roberts from 'Princess Bride'.
That crazy guy who kept attacking the Comoros Islands in the 80s.
The legendary Chinese pirate-queen.
The somewhat-suggestive 'One Eyed Willy' from the 80s adventure movie 'Goonies'

"The Dudes" and "The Crazy Guy", and "The Legendary".
Yes, sir. With fame like that, I give up arguing for cowboys.
