With that Delmonico goes and finds some boards and makes a "WE DON'T RENT PIGS" sign and puts it up at the road that leads to the ranch site. "Well I bouth to give it up fer the night, I find us a Latin sayin' in the mornin' I got's a Latin translater bookmarked somewhere here or at work."

Delmonico sees Slim down in the hog pen, he walks down there and looks at Slim.

"Slim, what in the heck are you doing with all these hogs?)

"Well, I figgered next time I bring back some Chinese Chix from Dakota Territory, we won't have to buy bacon. We can make it ourownselves."

"Hogs are nasty. I knew a hog farmer back in West Virginia. He went out to feed them one morning and had a stroke while he was in the pen. The hogs ate him.

"A few years later, I was in Germany, on a field trip with some kindergarten kids to get punkins at a farm. the hogs there were gigantic and scared all the wee children. The hogs were bashing their heads against the barriers, trying to get to the kids.

"I don't like hogs. "

With a grimace, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother gets up to wash the dishes.

My wife's family used to raise them. She told me the sows like eating the piglets just after they are born.

"I once watched a momma cat give birth to a litter. One of the kittens was badly deformed, so Momma cat ate it. But that was an act of mercy, unlike hogs.

"Gads, I think I am going to upchuck my apple sauce."

She gets up and takes off on a run.

Silver Creek Slim · « **Reply #365 on:** October 25, 2004, 11:28:25 AM »

"Is it bad applesauce or did ya just get grossed out?"

Joyce (AnnieLee) · « **Reply #366 on:** October 25, 2004, 12:24:33 PM »

From a distance:

"The applesauce is great, have some! My stomach has been off of late and the smells combined with the mental imagery got to me." General sounds of retching follow...

Slim takes his canteen and handkerchief over to the frumpy fairy godmother. "Her are my canteen and handkerchief. I figgered ya might be in need of them."

Joyce (AnnieLee) · « **Reply #368 on:** October 25, 2004, 12:44:35 PM »

She takes the canteen and handerkief gratefully. Wetting down the cloth, she wipes off her face, then swirls some of the water in her mouth, trying to clear the taste.

"Thank you, Slim. When is the breeze gonna change direction and take the scent away?"

"You are very welcome. I am not sure when the wind will change. But, hawgs have at least one redeeming quality, which Gopher Grease will appreciate, they love to eat snakes. They seem impervious to snake venom. Don't know if their hide is that tough or they are immune to it."

Delmonico · « **Reply #370 on:** October 25, 2004, 01:34:18 PM »

Well get some good wood ta use when ya smoke those hams and bacon. I think I've came up with a cold and am going to go lay down.

With that Delmonico heads to the dugout, lays down and takes a nap.

Silver Creek Slim · « **Reply #371 on:** October 25, 2004, 01:41:34 PM »

"Is hickory a good wood fer smokin' hawgs? I was wondering what happened ta ya. Have a good nap. I will go out and ride the range awhile ta ward off rustlers and 'yotes." Slim saddles his horse and rides toward the herd.

Delmonico · « **Reply #372 on:** October 25, 2004, 04:21:49 PM »

As he's takin' his nap, Delmonico has a nightmare about the trouble Slim could get into gettin' hickory wood to smoke hams and bacon with, sinch it's bout 300 miles to any hickory trees.

Silver Creek Slim · « **Reply #373 on:** October 25, 2004, 04:28:17 PM »

"Trouble?"

Joyce (AnnieLee) · « **Reply #374 on:** October 25, 2004, 06:07:28 PM »

She trudges back in, grumbling once again.

"Figures Delmonico would get a cold, now he can't smell the pigs. I've got a sachet of some herbs that should help that cold, want some?"

AnnieLee

Delmonico · « **Reply #375 on:** October 25, 2004, 07:47:06 PM »

What kind of herbs?

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother grabs a stick from the pile of kindling and wings it at Slim, not realising it is the broken part of her wand.

"Chamomile, echinacea and mint. I think I have some honey to add to it."

AnnieLee

Delmonico · « **Reply #378 on:** October 26, 2004, 11:17:50 AM »

Miz Fairy Godmother those sound good with the honey. As for Slim's herbs don't worry I am imune to them, on of the luckys I guess. Course I need some sort of a break since I'm lergeic to so many other things,
