Lest you forget:  General discussions & tall tales (Moderator: Silver Creek Slim) 

Yeah, yeah, anyone can edit their way out of trouble. But if you did, The Frumpy Fairy Godmother might do something horrible, then the dog might clamp on to your leg, and who knows what Delmonico would concoct?

Okie, so why did he show up at the camp, barefoot?


Hmm, hmmm???

AnnieLee

Okay, Slim took the clogs off just outside of camp because he didn't want to track dirt into camp. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Yep, Slim is... a...

"Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener. That is what I'd truly love to be. 'Cuz if I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener, then everyone would be in love with me." 

[Russ T Chambers]

Russ rides past camp and hears all the arguing.  Shouts over to the camp as he rides on back to Nevada Territory from Wisconsin.

"Saw Slim on the trail and those wooden things on his feet look like they were worn down to nubbin's. I guess he could've lost them by the time he hit camp. 

Russ laughs as he heads west once more, glad to be headed back to civilization.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Thanks, Russ." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The yellow dog gives Slim one of those "Lucky you, some stranger riding in and saving your sorry self," looks, then munches down on the rest of the dried up dinner, wagging his tail at Delmonico's plan.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets up out of his bedroll and streches, he looks over by the dugout and sees the yallar dog lying on the ground, tongue hangin' out ta the side of his mouth and a blank stare in his eyes. 

Delmonico goes over ta Slim's bedroll and gives it a kick.  "Get up Slim, our yallar dog has died in the night, we got ta bury it for it gets warm and he starts ta smell bad.  Get yer shovel and I'll get mine."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"It sure was a good bird dawg."  Slim rolls out of his bedroll, shakes his extra pair of boots out (don't want critters in there) and pulls them on. He goes to his saddle and get his shovel to bury the yellar dawg.

[Delmonico]

While Slim is diggin' the hole, the Yallar dog gets up and walks over and bits Slim and the lifts his leg on Slim's bedroll.  Slim has a surprised look on his face and Delmonico says, "Me and the Yallar dog were testin' ya and we were right, yer an horrible person, the kind that ""didn't cry when Ol' Yallar died"".  Now all the readers will know about you."

"I'll bet you'll really get it when the Blue Fairy Goodmother shows up."

"Now ya better get those big red aaaaa's and the g and h ready, cause yer gonna need them when she gets through with ya."

[Silver Creek Slim]

"It sure was a good bird dawg."  Slim rolls out of his bedroll, shakes his extra pair of boots out (don't want critters in there) and pulls them on. He goes to his saddle and get his shovel to bury the yellar dawg.

"I was sad. I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve. Now, that y'all had your fun, I'm gonna go armed to the teeth and get the beeves back. I don't except either of you to help." Slim saddles his horse, fills his saddle bags full of cartridges, grabs every gun that isn't tied down, grabs some grub, and rides off toward the rustlers.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico and the Yallar dog roll on the ground laughin (after checkin' fer cactus and sandburrs ) as Slim rides away huntin' fer rustlers.  Cause while Slim was rushin' round Delmonico and the Yallar dog tape a sign on Slim's back that say "Kick Me."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As Slim starts to ride away, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother appears with a scattering of sawdust, gives him a kick, then another one, then aims her foot at his horse's rear, then thinks better of it it. "Naw," she says, "the horse didn't do anything wrong."

But with a stern look, she waves her newly refurbished wand and some squirmy, wriggling things are put in Slim's boots.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico says to the Fairy Godmother, "Would ya also turn Slim's horse inta a toad.   Cause he even got Russ ta lie fer him, bet that cost him a bit ta do.  I know he didn't carve no clogs out of a fence posts, cause we sent fer Osage Orange, he could not have carved a pair of clogs cause it's too hard to carve that easily, unless he got's a Dremel tool.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Portable Dremel tool. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives a start. "Slim...... LIED!?!?!"

**POOF** and so, Slim's horse is turned into a toad.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Quit ambushing me when I am trying to get verk done!   

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Slim kicks off his boots. "How did those get in my boots? I shook them out 'fore I pulled them on." He dismounts, carefully walks to his boots so he don't get needles in his Injun feet, shakes the critters out, and pulls his boots on again. He remounts his horse.

POOPH!  Slim's horse suddenly becomes a giant toad and starts leaping with Slim in the saddle. 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Slim holds on tight 'cuz he don't want to land on a cactus or sand burr patch. The toad leaps toward the river. When it gets to the bank, it stops abruptly catapulting Slim off into the...

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives Delmonico and the Yellow Dog a sidelong look. "Are we satisfied? Is that enough?"

[Delmonico]

That ought ta be punishment enough fer this time.   But he's got to promise to be careful and not let himself get inta a situation that allows me ta make him out as a liar in the storyline.

Come on ta camp Slim, I feed ya the same thing I had fer supper (fer real) deer salad in sourdough biscuit.  (New Idea, leftover deer steak, crushed and mayo added along with a bit of garlic powder and a bit of oregenoo.  Kinda like tuna salad with a substitute.)

But Slim if'n Ol Yallar does die, ya got ta cry or Bill Murray ain't gonna let ya be in his Platoon.
