I was lookin' at who's on-line, I think I found someone fer the Lost and Found. Since we've all lost our minds, he'll get busy if someone starts turnin' them in.

litl rooster · May 28, 2006, 09:19:04 AM

I just found this one in the corner

Delmonico · May 28, 2006, 10:03:27 AM

Hmmm, that one might be Slim's.

El Peludo · May 28, 2006, 01:06:35 PM

Haw!!! That's funny, Del; he--, I went and changed my mind, and now I can't find it. How am I s'posed to he'p folks find stuff, if I cain't find my own??

Oh well, since we is into this city building business, here, I was ponderin' startin' up a tonsorial parlor -

Trim (I ain't sayin' what I'll trim) ----------------------------- Two Bits
Face Scrapin' ------------------------------------------------------- Two Bits
Trustin' me around you with anything sharp ------------- Yikes!!!

I 'spose I could just put a shelf in the back of the room where I could keep them misplaced minds and such, until somebody comes a'lookin'fer one, and we could see if we could make a match-up; I could put a list in the winder tellin' what's on the shelf for each day. Sitting in the dark after hours, listenin' to the conversations in those minds, could get sort of interesting.

Sounds good, if anyone turns in my turpintine let me know, I don't remember which thread I left it in. Gonna turpintine Trinity like a stray cat.

My late Father-in-law told a tale about a poor ol' cat that they caught when he was a kid, that had been lurkin' around their chicken pen, scarin' the hens. He said they cobbed it and turpentined it, and let it go, and all they could see was a dust trail off into the woods; never did see that cat around the henhouse again. He said it did take them a week to get healed up from all of the bites and scratches they had, and Ma used the turpentine on those. He said that after they found out what the turpentine felt like on those cuts and such, he felt real sorry he'd had anything to do with the cat business.

Say!! I just found a lady who is lookin' for some part time employment. I figure that FortyRod might sometimes need a break to tend to some other business, so I sent Missus Helen Waite over to his place. Now, when Ol' Forty has someone come in with a complaint, he can just tell that person to - - -

GO TO HELEN WAITE!!!

I'll keep an eye out for that can of turpentine, Del.

Forty Rod · May 29, 2006, 12:21:23 PM

I'm glad we have a lost and found.

Maybe I can't find my dignity.

Naw, I guess not. I'm still hangin' around with you yard birds.

Forty Rod · May 29, 2006, 12:23:30 PM

Back in '68 a hippy was walkin' down a street with one worn out tennis shoe. I asked him, "Hey, pard, did you lose a shoe?"

He answered, "Like, no, man. I found one."

litl rooster, you got that right, we always just reached right in and then wiped em off on the ground later.

Delmonico · May 30, 2006, 10:21:01 PM

I got some good 90 weight peroxide that I can pour on his scratches for 'em.

Whut the ?? ?? I got lost tryin'to find Del's can of Turpentine, and when I get's mesef found, some polecat from some island somewhere over the sea done left me a wheelbarrow, AND a can of turpentine. Then, before I can get the stuff un-piled, Ol' Del comes along and snatches that can of tree sap squeeziin's and takes off with it - wellll, I s'pose since it was his, he could have it back. Anybody need a shave?? I need to unwind a bit!!
