Newbrassky

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The yellow dog, who is hiding safely under a wagon, looks very concerned and also wants to know what happened to the Fairy Godmother.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico ain't worried bout the giant hamster or the Fairy Godmother, instead he puts a stamp on the enverlope with the order form for peonies to the Ferry Morse nursery.  He then hands it to a Pony Express rider who just happens to be ridin' by.   He then gets finds a board and starts carvin'. 

              Slim he died at daybreak
                  He died from a fall
            He'll not see his Mother Boys
        When the works all done this fall

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

<The yellow dog gives an incredulous look to Delmonico, then gives a low, sad, whining whimper, calling at AnnieLee to type up some kind of rescue. >


The Giant Hamster comes scampering into the camp, then rears back on it's hind legs, looming over the Fairy Godmother, its buck teeth poised for a giant *CHOMP*. The Frumpy Fairy Godmother waves the hind end of the wand, but nothing happens.

With a growl, the yellow dog leaps out from under the wagon, charging at the Giant Hamster, who now looks like one of those scary creatures from the Quiznos commercials. Right before it bites on the Frumpy Fairy Godmother, the Giant Hamster sees the dog, gives a mighty hamster squeal of dismay, and jumps into the hog pen.

Tell me it isn't so.   Tell me that Slim wasn't trampled by the herd.  He'd not dead.  He can't be.

BTW Mrs. Slim, am I in the will?

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim picks himself up and starts dusting himself off with his hat. He hears a rumbling sound and sees the cattle are stampeding toward him. What will happen to Slim? Will his 19+ children be fatherless? Will Lassie rescue Timmy from the well?  Tune in next time to see what happens in Newbrassky.

  Not only will our hero Slim escape and save the day, he's got hisself a new picture!  What a striking fellow he is in his new picture! yeaaaaa Slim!

Joss House said my other hat didn't look very authentic, since I am an NCOWS member now, so I changed my avatar to a more authentic hat.

Now, back to our story.

Slim sees the cattle racing towards him. He looks around for a place to hide and sees the river. Slim runs for his life towards the river. Just as he feels the hot breath of the front steer on his neck, he reaches the bank of the river and jumps. But, unbeknownst (I love that word) to him the river is low because of the recent drought. He lands in mud instead of water. The herd turns and follows the bank of the river. Slim escapes his near death experience but is a tad soiled.

Slim escapes his near death experience but is a tad soiled. 

Is this what Bill Cosby meant when he said "First you say it then you do it."?

Did have clean underware?

Yes Mrs Creek, we found it in his saddle bags.

 

[Silver Creek Slim]

The problem is my saddle bags are still attached to that giant hamster. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

< I showed my son Will this thread last night. His comments: "19 Kids!?! How did he get nineteen kids???" And "what's Delmonico doing looking at a catalog?", and "Lookit that hamster! Bwaa haa haa haa ha!!" It was great, thank you. Meanwhile, back to the FFG and the hamster...>

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother is looking more than a bit bedraggled (I like that word) now, she's in dire need of a bath and new clothing. But she warily makes her way to the hog pen to look at the Giant Hamster. It looks up at her and bares its buck teeth. The pigs pay it no nevermind.

She scowls and waves the wand in the opposite direction and  **POOF** with the scent of chicken farts, aka black powder, Slim's horse reappears. Of course, it, and the saddle bags are covered in mud. The Frumpy Fairy Godmother lets it out of the gate and says "Lassie! Timmy's fallen down the well! Go get him! Delmonico's already written his tombstone!" and then she gives it a swat on the rump. Mud splatters all over her and the horse takes off to go find Slim.

Slim hears hoofbeats approaching, so he climbs out of the mud and crawls up the riverbank to see what is coming. It is his horse. "Now, I can take a bath and change my underwear." Slim takes the muddy saddle bags off the horse. He takes out a clean set of work clothes and underwear. He climbs back down the riverbank and sets his clean clothes on a dry rock. He proceeds to wash his soiled clothes and himself. He puts his clean clothes on and climbs up the riverbank. He brushes off most of the dried mud from the saddle and mounts. He reins his horse in the direction of the herd.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out of the dugout after a long sleep, but finnally feelin' well for the first time this week.  He thinks he is not goona drink no herb tea cause it caused him to have bad dreams about pigs and giant hamsters.  He heads to the fire to get a cup of coffee to clear his head.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Must have been that Nettle tea. 

[Delmonico]

I'm wonderin' if The Fairy Godmother used some kind of mushroom in the tea.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Like these?

[Delmonico]

Not sure, the onlt one's I ever seen were already dried.   Er rather a, well , em, ya see I ani't never seen nome of them kind of mushrooms before.

[Delmonico]

Side's that my statooot of limertations has passed a couple a times.  Besides that the couch was not really 75 feet tall it just looked like it.

Slim found the herd about a mile upriver. They had run through the barbed wire fence, breaking wire and posts. Slim drove the cattle back into the fenced range far enough so they wouldn't wander bad out. Slim rode back to camp to get wire and posts to fix the fence.
