"Well... Thar goes Cletus, mah best drinkin' buddy 'round here!"  Trinity thinks...  "Oh well, he's in fer much better!!!"

"Ya feeling better, Miss FFG?  Mebbe ya need some of ma great-granny's remedy.  Ah'll go get a jug!"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother comes back in to wash her hands.
"You say his name is Cletis? Well, he sure took off to the hen house in a hurry. Aye, perhaps a swallow of the brew, it might help my nose."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

In the morning, Delmonico finds the Frumpy Fairy Godmother staring at the fancy Wegewood commode.

"Delmonico?" She asks as she feels him near, "where does the water go when I flush it?"

[Delmonico]

Well here in this simpler time it is easy, it has a pipe than slopes down to the Dismal River,  Just like they do the Hudson in New York or the Thames in London.  Course with the fact that their ain't nobody around but us, the river is quite capable of handling it with no problems, unlike the Hudson or the Thames.    

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Ohhhh. So, once it gets warmer, if I feel like going for a dip, I have to make sure I do it upstream of the pipe, yes?"

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother nods her head in understanding.

[gophergrease]

Miss, you may also what to make sure of the location of the herd before taking your swim.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives Gopher Grease a warm smile.
"Aye, Delmonico taught me that one."

[gophergrease]

He all way says to "get the coffe water upstream from the herd", didnt think he cared where you mite swim.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Well, he may not care, but I do! So I swim where he gets the coffee water. But don't tell him." She grins with a wink, standing right next to Delmonico.

"You say his name is Cletis? Well, he sure took off to the hen house in a hurry. Aye, perhaps a swallow of the brew, it might help my nose."

Trinity reviews his post and looks at his unfortunate spelling of Cletus and decides that it must be changed.  Redfaced, he wonders what was going on in his mind at the time of posting.

Trinity begins to think about one of his water sources for his still.   ...   ...   "aw heck, ain' nothin bad livin' in them bottles what don't give it a characteristic flavor"

Then Trinity begins to wonder if he aught to quit eating corn.  He now understands how it has been getting into the copper tubing and stopping the whole works up!

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( AnnieLee is suddenly very glad that the Frumpy Fairy Godmother can't read minds.  )

[Trinity]

(Trinity's alter-ego "the Author" sidles up to AnnieLee and says:  It's a dark place, a very darrrrk place... but not that bad once you've been here for a while!  )

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( AnnieLee whispers to "The Author": Corn. That's sick, and disgusting, and too funny for words. That mind is not only dark, it's twisted.    )

[Trinity]

(Sometimes when I forget my medication... my mind does strange things  )

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

( Dang, maybe I'd better get some meds, so I'd have an excuse, too!  Meanwhile, I have this fantastic mental image: There's the Frumpy Fairy Godmother, GopherGrease, Delmonico, and Trinity, all standing around a toilet and looking into the bowl, pondering. )

[Trinity]

(I can already hear Delmonico screaming about the misuse of his fancy "bowl"!      I can see him ordering everyone out of the bathroom and installing a lock to which he has the only key (sent off for it and had it delivered by express pony, of course.). Then Delmonico shuts himself into is room and devises some elaborate scheme which involves castor oil, rabbit fur, vaseline and super glue to get even with us.  )

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

(Ack! Stop that, you'll give him ideas! He's been well behaved for a week now. Who knows what is cooking in his devious mind?)

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives a small cough, interrupting her reverie, then speaks in a soft voice. "You know, that bowl looks more like something you'd serve food in than put... " She gives a quick look to Trinity and catches herself before she says the "P" word, "errr... the other stuff in."

[Trinity]

"Ah ain' used this contraption yet.  Mah pappy tole me ta never trust no holes that weren't dug by mah ownself.  They ain' no tellin' what kind of critter might come out of that little hole there.  Ah always go with the shovel to tha pasture yonder."  Trinity points out the open frosted window to the field where Slim's milk cow is kept.

[gophergrease]

So, that way that grass is still so green.

By the way we are haveing Corn Chowder and Corn Bread for supper tonite.
Later we can have them Chocolate, Peanut clusters that are cooling.
