[Delmonico]

Suddenly up on the hill the flying plates return, hovering in the dusk.      A blue light flashes out and strikes the ground near the barn.    As the flying plates leave, Delmonico can be seen runnin' to the house, wearing a strange white with blue paisley night shirt that is split up the back and tied.    

He heads into his office and slams the door, things will be more "normal" on the Dismal for a while.

[Trinity]

"WELCOME BACK PARD!!!!"  Trinity whispers to the crowd gathered outside his door: "Did anybody see who's haid was on his shoulders?"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Her eyes wide with astonishment, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother shakes her head.  "I didn't see it. It wasn't the rooster, was it?"

[Trinity]

"Ah don' rightly know, but I know a way to find out!"

[Delmonico]

Inside his office, Delmonico is latchin' doors and pilin' furnature up again them.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke, ever the smart dog, runs around the house and climbs through Delmonico's open window. He starts to bark.

[litl rooster]

CAREFUL Duke, might be some kind of trick

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Del, how much probin' did they do ta ya?" 

[Delmonico]

They missed two openings, one being my left nostril.   But they made many new holes.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I ain't gonna ask in public which was the other opening."  "It's good ta have ya back, pard." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"It sure sounds like him and not a rooster... and that body was too large to belong to the Frankenbird, so I reckon Delmonico is ok!"

As the Frumpy Fairy Godmother grins, Duke nudges his head against Delmonico's hand for some pets and scritching.

"Well.... as ok as he ever is..."

[Trinity]

"So whar's mah buddy, Frankenbird?" 

Just then the freakish little bird stumbles up the steps and weaves his way over to the crowd.  He's joined by Sheep and both are intoxicated.

[Delmonico]

Suddenly Delmonico gets an Idea, when the present rooster needs replaced, they can have chicken and dumplings again anfd graft it's head on a Red Tailed hawk, in a few years they could have a whole herd of drunken freak birds.   

Might have to keep them on an island in the river, along with Dr. Two Fingers.

[litl rooster]

Yep things is lookin' normal in Nebrassky again

[Trinity]

At the mention of chicken and dumplings Frankenbird jerks his head up in fear with such force that two of the tiny rivets pop loose. 

[litl rooster]

Hold still ya d@%* bird I'll peen them rivets back down...This why we don't keep them for pets

[Delmonico]

The reason Delmonico used rivets in building the Franken bird is that if the came loose no problem.  If he would has used screws there would have been problems, because the last thing any one would want would be someone in this story having a loose screw.

[Silver Creek Slim]

<Author's note: I think there are a lot of loose screws in this story.> 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

((Loose screws, nuts without bolts, crayola boxes missing some crayons... Yep, I'd agree there!  Of course, Delmonico would have his own special box of odd hardware.)
