Sod Buster reaches back into his buckboard and pulls out some Kale, Collards, and Spinach.

Delmonico gets these a cookin' while Slim still stands out by the horse trough whinin' about the lobster clamped on his nose.

[Ozark Tracker]

Sod Buster sneaks up behind Slim with his saddlebags,  rears back and whops slim up the back of the head and the lobster pops off,

[Delmonico]

Thinkin' quick the lobster breaks it's fall by now clampin' on Slim's left ear.

[Ozark Tracker]

with Slim a running round and round the front yard, the crew at the ranch start thinking of ways to get the lobster off Slims ear.  the first idea is to cut just a small chunk outa Slims ear.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico goes out and gets the rest of the lobsters and tosses them inta the boilin' water.   "I guess since Slim has chosen his lobster and won't bring it to the kitchen he can just eat his raw."

[Ozark Tracker]

the boys decide if Slims lobster won't go to the cooker, they should bring the cooker to him,  they fire up the steam traction engine, bring it up to temperature and stand Slim around by the steam realease valve.

[Delmonico]

This cooks the lobster, but Slim only keeps whinin'.   The cooked lobster is still clamped to his ear.

<Author's Note: Good thing this is a family forum.>

Slim wants the lobster off his ear,  so,  the fellars get Slim to lay his head on the shop anvil with the lobster pointing up, then take the shop sledge hammer to just crack the claws so it'll come loose.  since Slim can't see the lobster, he hits hisself in the head twice before he gives the hammer to somebody else.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico takes the hammer and before he swings he says, "where the heck it Trinity when you need him."

[Ozark Tracker]

so since Trinity ain't here ya reckon we oughta just start up the saw mill and  run just the edge of that lobsters claw through it?  the steam is already built up on the traction engine. all we'd have to do is back it into the belt.

[Delmonico]

Yeah that might be a good idea, Trinity is our sledge hammer man.   Ya want I should run to Dunning and get Six-Finger Steve the Carpenter to help us.

[Ozark Tracker]

we might need him if we don't want Slim to be missing a part of his ear.

[Delmonico]

Well it's a good thing it is on Slim's ear, Six Fingered Steve ain't never cut off one of his ears or anyone ele's ......................yet.

[Ozark Tracker]

Slim should be proud to know we was thinking of saving all his extrry parts

[Delmonico]

Naw, I've seen Slim in person, he ain't got no extry ears, just the regulation 2.

[Ozark Tracker]

Dern, I was hoping he had another one hid under there somewhere, 

you know just in case.

[Sod Buster]

I'd still be very weary of someone named "Six Fingers"...what happened to the other four?
