[Trinity]

Lucky for Trinity distance and filth were in his favor.  He was knocked down but the seat of his pants were so stiff that the shot was not even able to penetrate.

[Delmonico]

How ever the thorns from the patch of cati-us he fell in penny-trated many times.

[Trinity]

Trinity's old wounds have reopened and he'll have to go back to the ranch for another five feet of gauze.  Trinity sits down to think about whether it is safe or not.

Trinity's old wounds have reopened and he'll have to go back to the ranch for another five feet of gauze.  Trinity sits down to think about whether it is safe or not.

Right in a patch of sand burrs guarded by a bumble bee nest.

[Trinity]

Luckily his tough seat guards him from the sand burrs, but the bumble bees begin to sting him all over.

[Chance]

Just then Chance rides in whose had some docterin' experience - casteratin' yung bulls - and gives Trinity an examination.

"Tain't good, pard. Them bees done stung you in all the wrong places. Guess the ladies down at the saloon ain't gonna be bothered by you fer a while."

With that bad news Trinity stalks off wondering who he can kick to make him feel better.

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity, carefully sticks his hands in his pocket as he walks off and discovers a couple big river  rocks in the pockets, that had got there when the mule was a draggin him. he pulls them out and is able to stand up straight again.

[Chance]

Next mornin' them bee stings is really beginning to do their work. The swellin's increased and Trinity can't get his pants on. He refuses Chance's offer of some free docterin' and muses over what to do next. He badly needs a drink but can't go to the saloon without pants. What can he do?

[Trinity]

Trinity goes to Still site number four where he makes his special "medicine" and begins "therapy".

[Delmonico]

However it's been so long that Trinity never checked the still first, Delmonico has added castor oil to it again. :

<When to going gets tuff, the tuff get going and going and going.  Just like the Energizer bunny, Trinity keeps going and going and going.>

[Chance]

Pretty soon Trinity has bought up all of the newspapers in town.

[Trinity]

This impresses Sherlene because until now she thought he couldn't read.  Trinity argues with her, telling her that he does not want to discuss the latest trends in Europe until he gets that old sinking feeling again. 

"Naw, ah don' care what them folk in... Uh.... gottagoseeyasherelene!"

With that Trinity dashes off, back in the direction of Still site number four.  To Sherelene and the rest of the citizenry on the street, it sounds as if Trinity is stepping on ducks.

[Delmonico]

Hearing ducks Slim grabs his shotgun annd fires at the noise hittin' himself in the arse with the Boomarang double aught Buckshot.

[Trinity]

Trinity has now filled the outhouse hole at Still site number 4 and goes to the river which he finds to be better.  The current of the Dismal brisk enough that Trinity needs only to stand still and the effects of the castor oil are whisked away in the direction of the ranch.

[Ozark Tracker]

a rusty cloud rises in the distance toward still #4,  birds and animals flee in anticipation of danger. the sun turns a dull red but no explosion comes.   

[Trinity]

It seems a very large gas bubble rose to the top of the privy pit and upon reaching the surface it exploded, releasing the rust colored cloud of gas.

[Chance]

The rust colored cloud began drifting towards the South end of town, where the blacksmith is stoking up his forge.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Ouch!!!!!
Slim turns 'round to look fer the varmint that shot 'im in the backside, but thar'z nobody thar. He scratches his haid and walks ta the Doc's in Dunning for a buckshotecktomy. 

[Trinity]

By leaning forward in the river against the flow, Trinity is able to swallow water while eliminating the castor oil.  This technique saves Trinity from becoming dehydrated.  Finally his internal system calms down and Trinity is able to leave the River.  His first stop is Still site number four and gathers all of the tainted jugs and piles them in his buckboard.  Then he prepares the still again for another batch.  Of course he is not going to use it for a while, but he must keep up appearances for Delmonico.

After two hours have passed, Trinity takes his buckboard into town where he leaves it in the middle of the street with a sign (written with the help of a passer by) that says: "Delmonico's recipe!  On the honor system."  He leaves an empty ball jar for those who wish to pay.  Three hours later all jugs are gone and Trinity has earned himself 50 cents, and a broken pocket knife.  The ball jar is gone.

[Ozark Tracker]

Ozark sits down in the town square with a wagon load of old sears & roebuck catalogs  and hangs a little sign on the side:

Sears Catalogs fer Sale, by the page  5 cents

in an hour, he has a 10 gallon milk pail full of nickles. and heads for miz Collinswood's place.
