Where's Annie Lee?

[Birdgun Quail]

Well as least I know why Miss Annie has not chimed in to wish Curly Cole a happy birthday, she has been out being a "nasty lady" and looking for a tattoo parlor.

Old Top

Annie Lee? Tattoo? Where? I mean .... do you think she'll let us s..... oh shoot... wrong question.... wrong time wrong place.... here she comes....... bye....

...trying to slip out the back door....

With Old Top and Birdgun Quail both trying to slip out the back door, Birdgun wonders out load...  "Tattooters?"

[Missouri Marshal]

Jus like a woman, Yap, Yap, Yap , Yap!,  Don't worry Marshal, I got yur back, everybody else seems ta be skeered of Marshal'ette but I ain't skeered, got a healthy respect but not skeered

(Now I'll distract her and ya git on a fast horse and run.... fast, real fast.  OBTW where she keep that rollin pin? I'll git it and burn that sucker)

Hey, Marshal'ette, how many doves did ya MISS the other day?( that ought ta git her attention)

[Delmonico]

Annie Lee, just be careful if they start watchin' yer backside, it's cause they want to see yer tattoo.

[Delmonico]

Esp. Forty Rod.

[Silver Creek Slim]

At least I haven't been in here yappin' about tatoos. I'z been in Newbrassssssssky takin' a ride on the first indoor waterslide.

It's the Marshall, forty Rod and Birdgun that did it, they drug me into the gutter and my dear wife ain't home to drag me back like Mrs. Halloway did.  Them other two though, nobody drags them out.

[Marshal'ette Halloway]

Hmmmmmm~~**talking  to myself while I am setting on the porch snapping beans**

Wonder where in the heck Birdgun Quail was? I sure didn't see him in the Saloon. He must of seen me comin'and then slipped out before I saw him. Not that the Marshal would tell on anybody.. Those dang men stick together like glue.

And that Forty Rod. Lands sake alive..that critter is one to be watched.. A little word here and a little word there.. Onry as they come if'n anyone ask me. **grabbin' another handful of green beans**
That rascal Delmonico ..hiding behind his apron all the time..stirrin' more than a pot of vittles most of the time....and then leadin' all them men to believin' that he knew what was on Miz Annie's backside.. I knew he gave her some of that special grease that he has for Miz Annie's cartridge burn.. and as for his dear wife dragging him out of the gutter that the other fellers' pushed him in..pppfffffhhhufffttt .. that poor woman has drug him out of so many scrapes and messes that there is a permanent trail where his boots have made.

Tatoos! What in the world is all the fuss about anyway! I'll have to ask Miss Cammie if'n she knows anythng about these tattoo things., a'fore Annie Lee gets wind of all this flappin' lip talk. Why ...it would rile her up somethin' fierce knowin' all this talk was a goin' on about her backside. Her skillets will get a workin' out for sure.. Uuuhhh-huh!

'Cept Silver Creek Slim.. ohhhh now isn't he  one to weasel himself out of the corner..announcing to the town that HE wasn't here, so he couldn't have been saying anything ..making sure everyone knew he was slidin' down the creek bank playing in the water. Well I know for sure that ifn' he was here, he shore wouda' been right in on it.... yes he wouda', that's a fact!
**snapping the beans faster** and the thing that riles me up the most is the fact that Missouri Marshal is asking folks around town how many doves I missed! Missed??!! The nerve ! Why that makes me want to chew tabackky and spit nails! .. I declare,I'd like to show him a thing or two. Start by giving him a good hard whack with my rollin' pin. If'n he aint skeered of me now.. he dang sure will be later..((thinkin' I will give Miss Trixie one of my old rollin' pins for her own use)) **mumbling.."says he'll burn my rollin' pin..that's what he thinks!"

It's about time that we women got togeth............................
Ohhh now look what thinkin' about them men made me do!  **see's that the beans and the stems are all mixed together**
Well! **getting up from the rockin' chair**
Guess I better sort out all of this mess and get busy. Marshal has snuck his hide out of the house again, and as usual ..right when there is work to be done.

[Forty Rod]

Moi??

Egging things on?

Why, whatever do you mean, Miss Marshal'ette?

I'm as pure as fresh fallen snow. (Okay, so maybe I drifted.)

I'd NEVER!!!

[Delmonico]

Well once again keeping bad company has left me in their fallout.  I don't know for sure, but accordin' to Forty Rod, "Nasty Lady" is tattoed on her right forearm and as for the Um, er ah backside the left one has a irun skillet and the right one has two Gummi Bears holdin' hands.

Now that is what Forty Rod tolt me in a PM.  I'd sent it to ya, but I accidently deleted it.

[Forty Rod]

Del, if I die, you die.  I'll make the arrangements before Annie gets here and breaks the door down.

(Friends...I have a host of friends.)

[Birdgun Quail]

Boys, come over here ...Birdgun whispers... You reckon those 'rose tatooters' after about thirty years turn into 'loooooong stemmed roses'!?!?

[Silver Creek Slim]

 

Slim

[Delmonico]

You'll die, not me, I'm safe from bein' killed by a skillet for at least a month, I have to play nurse and Annie knows it.  

Don't say it Forty, she'll kill you twice and Slim will delete yer post.

[Silver Creek Slim]

My finger is on the delete key. 

Slim

[Forty Rod]

Delete the torpedoes and full speed ahead!!!

(Does that sound exactly right?)

[Forty Rod]

Just for the record, I don't want to apply the tatoo and I don't care if I ever see it.

I'd just like to keep it polished up from time to time.

BLUSH FOR ME, ANNIE!!!

[Delmonico]

See I had you wrong Forty, I thought you'd say something about playin' doctor 'stead a nurse.   It's Ok Slim went home now.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

You know, it's a good thing I love you folks.

Dang you, Forty.

I had a good day, took and passed the RO I and RO II courses.

The engraving will be done on a plaque I can pick up in the morning.

I'm not telling you the location(s) of my tattoo(s), if I have any.

So there. 

By the way, the kilt arrived, but no matching sash and shirt to go with it. I am currently at a lost as to what to wear for the banquet Saturday night.
