"If I 'member right, the talk was takin' the hooch ta the Black Hills in Dakota Territory."

[Delmonico]

Gold, there is gold in them thar (Black) Hills.  North-West corner a da map.

Now be careful, GG ain't from around here either and he don't know that coutry, but I took him to the edge of it this summer.  No foolin' if you don't follow my instructions yer gonna get in trouble very fast, worsn'n if I gave ya castor oil and iccy-peck at once.  

We are on the Dismal river, 'bout on the border of Blaine and Thomas County.  Go straight North till ya cross the Ni-eee-bra river.  Turn left and follow the river, don't go any further north inta Dakota,  you'll in up on the Reservations and one or more of three things could happen.  A lot of them Lakota's ain't real friendly, they might just kill you and scalp you.  

The Reservation Police might just shoot you fer carrying the booze.  But they most likely won't scalp you, just shoot you.  Or the Army might shoot you or arrest you and take ya ta Levenworth.

Don't go south ta the RR and go North at Sidney, to many Sherrifs and US Deputy Marshalls, thy will arrest you also.  Don't go straight west, you get lost in them hills and we'll never see you again.  Go back about 50-75 pages, Slim got lost and we had to call out the National Guard to find him.

By following the "NORTH" side of the river you'll avoid the trackless sandhills and the route will be easy, unless Doc Middleton steals yer horse's.  But don't worry, he won't shoot you, he's known as the "Gentleman Horse Thief".  

But don't go out inta those hills, you'll get lost.

"I didn't get lost. I was spirited away by a giant locust." <Biblical term>

Ya well if they head straight west they'll run into this.

Go ahead and bring that in and out, up and down, that ain't Minny-soda, that is the Newbrasskey sandhills Lake region.  Them and their hooch would sink in a bog and it would be like that movie "Hallualooola Trail"  Trinity would be sittin' round waitin' fer his hooch ta surface.

Are those lakes spring feed?
I saw dat movie. 

[Delmonico]

Dem lakes are the water table, they're just low places in the land.

[Delmonico]

Mean while back at the ranch, there is a knock on the door.  Delmonico answers it, is heard to say thank you and heads to his office with a box.  Duke heads right in this time and dosen't have to scratch at the door.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The door to the Frumpy Fairy Godmother slowly drifts open to show the room inside is clean and she is no longer there.

[Trinity]

After Delmonico's lecture, Trinity takes the map and heads to the door to leave.  On his way, he walks by the FFG's room and shouts: "What in tarnation!??!  Anyone see what happent to miss FFG??  Ah think she done lef us!!!!  Now, why would she leave us?  Ah'll bet ole Delmonico upset her with all them little turds."

[Delmonico]

Don't worry Trinity, she's around here somewhere, I just checked and her "online" light is on.   She's watchin' us with some of that computor spyware we keep hearin' about.  

I bet she has got the gerbil poop somewhere and is plannin' somethin' with it.   She peeked and seen the list of things I ordered and she's hidin' cause she ain't figgered out what I'm gonn do with it all.  She thinks she knows about the rubber snake, but I'm gonna fool her,  oops, fergot she's spyin'.

[Trinity]

"Puter spy air??"    Trinity looks confused.

[Delmonico]

Ya it means she uses out compoooters to spy on us usin' her compoooter.    Just look up at the top and see who's lookin' at the topic.   If it says Annie Lee the FFg is spyin' on us, cause she uses Annie Lee's log in and compoooter to spy on us.   She was watchin' just a minute ago just before I pushed the reply button.      We have to use Private Message or she can she what we are posting and do evil things to counter act it.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Morning comes, and brings a song in the air:

"Paranioia strikes deep, into your hearts it will creep...."

Heh heh heh,



AnnieLee, who was sewing last night)

[Trinity]

We have to use Private Message or she can she what we are posting and do evil things to counter act it.

Trinity is still confused:      Ah done looked at the top an' it says "Trinity and 0 Visitors are viewing this topic.".   Ah just don' know what you are talking about.  Now Ah don' drank too much and am cornfused so's Ah kaint go and do the business that I was plannin' on doin'!!!

[Delmonico]

Delmonico puts a sign out on the porch, "Cupalo Fer Rent"    Dern she could be a rotten
troublemaker, but that FFg was good fer sumthin', all the sawdust she left behind was good to put down when Trinity drank to much and puked on the floor.   

Delmonico decides to head to bed, his stuff he ordered should be in this week.  Then he can get even with Slim for his part in the Gerbil/Shirley Temple/Chicken fiasco.   And castor oil just won't be good enough.   Sides that it might mess up the Wedgewood WC.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

When Delmonico gets up in the morning, the sign has mysteriously changed. It now reads:

"The cozie here is a grump and a pain in the rear, but he cooks good when he leaves out the castor oil."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico chpos the sing inta kindlin' and starts a fire in the cookstove, with an evil grin.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

There is the sound of a horrible ruckus inside Delmonico's office as Duke squares off with the tarantulas. There's barking and snarling and a single, sharp "yip," but before you know it, Duke is sitting and wagging his tail, surrounded by pieces of arachnid legs and eyes.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim rides up to the ranch house with a butter churn and a cream separator.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

As Slim rides up, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother, who is sitting on the fence rail, gives him a smile, a wave, and a wink.

"Howdy, Slim, how are the wife and the sixteen kids?"
