<I think he ain't "stoned" no more. Hopefully I'm done bein' probed.

"So's you come acrossed a wagon load of ladies. Well, I'll stay right here and take your word for it."

Stoney makes breafast using bacon, buscuts and eggs, instead of leftover prairie dog and armadillo. Lots of coffee 'cuz everyone is home.

Capt. Hamp, swimming his horses across the Dismal for the seventeenth time, finally realizes there's a strong possibility he might be going in circles. Approcaching a familiar looking homestead, he pulls out his spyglass and surveys the area. His face brightens when he sees Del, finally off probebation, and Trinity, looking only slightly less stoned than he remembered. Miss Annie, looking beautiful as ever, appeared to be suffering from conestoga lag and family reunion overload, however. And sure enough, there was old reliable litl rooster with that coffee pot in his hand, making sure all the folks got their eye opener on time. Mouth watering at the thought of Pete's armadillo dish, but knowing he was already way past due back in Tejas, Capt. Hamp swims his horses across the Dismal again, vowing to make it back before the warranty runs out on his saddle horse.

Slim walks into the kitchen fer coffee and grub. "Mornin' disembodied voice."

He pours a cup and fills a plate with grub.

"I am tuned into Arthur's notes."

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother rushes into the kitchen.

"I saw him! He was riding back and forth on the river! That nice man who was confused about his name!"

She stops when she sees Slim facing the wall.

"Slim, are you hearing voices?"

Silver Creek Slim · August 23, 2005, 03:45:11 PM

"Yes, your voice and the disembodied voice."

Joyce (AnnieLee) · August 23, 2005, 03:50:42 PM

Quirking an eyebrow, she tilts her head and listens very hard for a moment.

"I don't hear him."

Silver Creek Slim · August 23, 2005, 05:08:46 PM

"I'm tuned into his Arthur's notes."

Delmonico · August 23, 2005, 05:27:01 PM

Delmonico comes out of his office, he looks in the ice box at the leftover prairie poodle and armour-diller. He gets out rubber gloves and takes it to the outhouse and dumps it in the #5 hole. (The largest)

He then scrubs the ice box with lye soap and makes lemonade.

Gooop fer supper and not squash goop, chopped bacon fried with onions and bacon, I'll toss in soum sour cream and some cheese.

litl rooster · August 23, 2005, 06:43:42 PM

litl' rooster comes in from a long day of chasing the neighbors Longhorn Bull and fighting him into a trailer,(being period correct it's a horse drawn trailer) Then repairing fence and corrals those 70+ inch horns destroyed.....Goes to the ice box and sees the armadilla is gone, was so looking forward to a armadilla sandwich, with fresh sliced tomatoe and a purple onions and horseradish( not the sauce the fresh ground kind)...Not saying a thing he makes the vegtables into a sandwich and goes outside and sits under the tree and watches the Capt/Major. Riding his horse back and forth across the Dismal....Wondering did he find one of Trinty's stills or Delmonico curealls that them fellas in the flying plates sent back with him.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother gives a wary look to that lemonade.

"Was it made from real lemons, or that lemon flavored fizzy water stuff?"

Scattered Thumbs · August 24, 2005, 08:42:04 AM

<A man arrives on foot in front of the house>

Howdy! he says. I'm looking for my brothers. They look a lot like me but are shorter. Haven't you seen them?
Can you spare any food? I haven't eaten nothing but apples for some days.
He then points to the top of the building and asks. What's that thing on the top?

Silver Creek Slim · August 24, 2005, 10:15:33 AM

Slim looks at the stranger with a weary eye. "Haven't seen anyone 'round here that looks like ya. There might be some leftover prairie poodle and armour-diller in the ice box. The thing on the top of the house is either the cupola or the weather vane."

Joyce (AnnieLee) · August 24, 2005, 10:20:12 AM

"Delmonico threw out the leftover 'dillo and poodle, Slim. I think we might have some leftover bacon glop." The Frumpy Fairy Godmother smiles and offers a cold glass to the stranger. "Would you like some lemonade?"

((Author's note: Dang, she is getting good with that innocent smile of hers. Think he's gonna fall for it?))

Scattered Thumbs · August 24, 2005, 10:26:49 AM

What's that a cupola ?

< The gleeful look in the stranger's face faded some when the lady said there was no more armadillo or prairie dog to be had.>

With a small sigh he said. I'll have that leftover bacon something. Lemonade will be fine, if there isn't nothing stiffer.

Joyce (AnnieLee) · August 24, 2005, 10:32:58 AM

She hands the stanger the glass, then the hem of her skirts swirl around her ankles as she turns to go back inside. "I'll heat up some of the leftovers for you." Passing Slim, she whispers in his ear, "please let me know if he has to run off to the bushes? I don't know what Delmonico did to that lemonade."
