Newbrassky

[Ozark Tracker]

with an empty belly now, one can of potted meat remins in the wagon, so Trinity opens it and eats it and sips from the jug to pass the time a riding.

[Trinity]

Trinty returns to blowing on the playing jug.

[Delmonico]

And on into the night they travel to meet the mornin' westbound on the CB&Q out of Dunning.

"Jingle Bells, shotguns rabbits all the way"
"Oh what fun it is to ride in Delmonico's Dray."

As the tempature drops, Delmonico puts on his buffalo coat and watches the others turn blue cause they forgot their heavy coats.   The catterin' of their teeth makes him feel cold so he covers his lap with a buffalo robe.  Santa puts him down for a 100 more pounds of coal.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

There is an old broken down wagon blocking the trail so Delmonico swings off the trail to go around it, unfortunately Trinity's tongue is still dragging the ground as Del drives over a patch of cacti.

[Delmonico]

They make it to Dunning just as the CB&Q Morning Westbound pulls into town.  Delmonico skids the buckboard into the Livery stable, tosses the chamber maid a $20 gold piece and they head for the train which is not startin' to leave.  Everyone but Trinity makes it on board and quick thinkin' by Sodbuster saves Trinity from being left behind.  Sodbuster grabs Trinity by the tongue and pulls him aboard.

[Ozark Tracker]

with Trinity's tounge a hanging out permanently,   the fellars decide they need to trim it off so's it'll fit back in his mouth,  a knife comes out and slice, slice and it fits back just right.

[Delmonico]

"Bout dark they arrive in Alliance Newbrassky, Delmonico gets hotel rooms for all a them 'cept Trinity who he gets a stall in the Livery Stable.   They go downtown to find supper.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes in to the rest-er-rant and hollors, 'we're missin' it, get in the buckboard I rented, I got wood and coal oil." 

As they gallop to Carhenge Trinity is takin' off his clothes.

[Ozark Tracker]

the boys arrive with Trinty already in his longjohns,  he hops off and starts to build a fire,  Sodbuster starts unloading his plants and sitting where he wants em.

[Sod Buster]

The fire (Yule Log) starts to burn.  Per the tradition, it will need to burn for 12 hours.

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinty keeps carrying fire wood over by the fire,  he has enough to burn for days if needed

Since he is nekked,  he is carefull not to get too close to the fire so that his short hairs don't get singed

[Delmonico]

Trinity suddenly notices someone else is helpin' him drag logs to the fire.

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity starts seeing as how it's dark he can't quite make out who it is..

[Sod Buster]

Why it's "Yul Log" Brynner! 
Don't ask him how he got that name! 

[Ozark Tracker]

With Yule a dancing around Trinity, Trinity eases over by the wagon and grabs his longhandles,  since he don't know Yule very good.

[Trinity]

Trinity doesn't like how Yule is staring at him, so he goes to the other side of the fire.  However there he finds Irma from Delmonico's car hop and decides to go dance behind the oaks that Sod Buster brought.  Not because he's shy, but because Irma is not much to look at.

Behind the Oaks, Trinity finds an errant goat watching the celebration.  Trinity's tummy starts to rumble......

[Ozark Tracker]

with all the dancing done, Trinity starts a seperate fire and cooks the goat, that he had tied to tree earlier.
