A true made up tale of the west...

[Trinity]

Suddenly there is a purple apron on a mulberry sapling as Delmoico annexes this thread as a suburb of Delmonico City Newbrassy Territory.

<Authors note, "The kid should have got his own flag." >

This thread has already been annexed.  You can file the proper paperwork (i.e. greenbacks) and maybe I'll let you have a little chunk.   

[Cherokee Jem]

Jem rides up to his home, tired and drunk... His father gives him a serious thump for being drunk... Yall can keep the land...

[litl rooster]

Teddy is just passing thru on his way to Belle Fouche

Is he still carrying that 76 of his? If he is Jem should be careful.

Yes

[litl rooster]

 Today I filed and recieved all the water rights to the Annex, Stock, irriagating, whiskey and coffee making and even drinking and bathin' water. Not that is an issue till Saturday nite

[Trinity]

Sorry litl rooster!  The paperwork never arrived.  It's already Thursday.  Unless you can overnight it to me, you will not have those rights this weekend.    NEXT!

 

[litl rooster]

MrTrinty sir,(or is it your honor?) the overnite express rider has been on your front door since Wed. afternoon.

I am well armed also....

[Delmonico]

Well I claim the mineral rights!  Sorry Trinity this ain't North Carolina or Texas, out here all three have to be properly filed on.  

This means lil rooster has shut the creek off and is die-vert-in' it else where and I piled up yer dry, parched dirt and am mining where it used ta be.

We gots the law on our side, we'll call out the National Guard to protect us.

[litl rooster]

Author's note; it's not first piece of dirt I have filed water rights on.  Fixin' on settin up a little retirement account

[Trinity]

MrTrinty sir,(or is it your honor?) the overnite express rider has been on your front door since Wed. afternoon.

I am well armed also....

"You may kawll me suh, suh.

Espress rider...  Oh!... Was that that feller what I shot.  Ah done thought he was a guvmint spy!  No greenbacks, er paperwork received.  Sorry, no rights!   ...    ...   Awwwww heck.  Ok, you can have that ole stump what's et up with ants.  Happy?" 

[Delmonico]

I done went down to the land office and checked the "proper" paper work.     You have land rights, and I piled it up real nice in the corner.  

lil rooster has water rights and he done dee-vert-ed it and sold it off.

And I have mineral rights, and thats why I piled yer land rights up real nice.   Read the sign, it says "Delmonico Strip Minin' Company."

When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Newbrassky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.

Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Dismal River where Trinity Land lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Delmonico's coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Dismal River
To the abandoned old homestead down by Recipe Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

Repeat Chorus:

Then the Delmonico came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.

Repeat Chorus:

When I die let my ashes float down the Dismal River
Let my soul roll on up to the lil rooster dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Trinty Land waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

Repeat Chorus:


<Authors Note:  Sorry about yer screen lil rooster, get a case of paper towls.>

[Trinity]

Upon reviewing Delmonico's papers for the mineral rights, the judge deems them worthless. 

"All rights to Trinity to do with as he sees fit and the court will award fifty dollars to the man that brings this <with a sneer> 'Del-mon-i-co' before it!"    BANG

Bailiff: "Next, the people of Muhlenberg County vs. The Delmonico Strip Mining Company"

...

[Delmonico]

After reviewin' the local judges papers the Supreme Court declares Trinity's cuzin the judge worthless and disbar's him and fines Trinity for contempt of court.

A perky, kilt wearing lass with a long ponytail comes into the courtroom carrying a tray. She fills the spectators' cups and gives them fresh danish.

[litl rooster]

lilt rooster enters the cort room and walks directly to the Judges stand, in a sudden he taves the Gavel and wacks the Judge in the head. Turns to the perky Lass and thanks her for the fresh coffee...(LR likes fresh coffee and perky kilt wearing lasse's) Ladys and Gentlemen of Trintyville/land,whatever, I hereby notifiy you your water has been returned to you free of charge....As long as you remain in the thread, I have obtained the water rights, to halt future development of the country, I hate culdy sacks...Thank you hope the judge comes to soon, and thanks for the coffee

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

At first shocked when the Judge gets bonked by the stranger, the perky lass in a kilt blushes when he thanks her, then pulls her kilt to the side a bit as she dips a curtsey.
