Newbrassky

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim unlocks the door with the "Mighty Ten" still in hand and walks down to the porch. "I thought them Vandals had come o'er from North Africa. Ya sure t'weren't them?"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother tosses a few goldfish to Slim before sitting to put her shoes and socks back on.

"Well," she ponders, "I'm not sure I know anyone named Van Dell, and if there was a Van Dell around here would he know everyone's names?"

She nibbles on another fish. "Then again, perhaps the person is related to Del-monico? Mayhaps one of his Dutch relatives?"

[Delmonico]

No Slim, Nebrassky was invaded by from the steppes of Russia, some dern fool brought over Brome Grass and now we can't get rid of it.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim leans the "Mighty Ten" against the porch wall and takes a seat. "Takes ma'am. The eases my mind." He munches on the goldfish.
He hears what Del said. "Russian Cossacks!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He runs to his room, locks the door behind him, grabs the "Mighty Ten", and peers out the window.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother continues to contentedly munch. She calls upstairs, "Slim, why are you running? He looks like he could be one of your relatives! Maybe a tad grumpier than you, but definitely not as paranoid!"

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim calls down, "Who ya callin' paranoid?" "By the by, I don't think I have any Russian relatives." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

She yells back up, "I'm calling you paranoid, you and that shotgun!"  She pauses to look at the cossack once more.

"Hmm. Maybe he looks more like Stoney Pete?"

[Delmonico]

I don't care who he's relatewd to, search him, if he has brome grass seed shoot him and burn the seed.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"I'd say we shoot 'im then search 'im. Since I'm the paranoid one." 

[Delmonico]

Just don't let him spread brome seed.

[Silver Creek Slim]

"How 'bout wheat seed?"

[Delmonico]

As long as it ain't got no tumbleweed seed in it, it's ok.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Irish offers tha feller with tha ugly hoss an tha funny hairdo a drink an sez, What's yer name pard?

The Cossack replies, Mils Yenots!

[Trinity]

"Hey thar feller wif tha funny hat.  Ya wan' some likker Ah made from taters?"

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother stares at the Russian, then mumbles. "I do think one of Slim's forefathers was a 'travelin' man.'"

[Sod Buster]

 

[Trinity]

Looking closer at the russian, Trinity rubs his eyes and looks again.  "Say, you look like our pard Silver Creek Slim, Da?"

[Delmonico]

Delmonico 'members he fergot about Sodbuster so he puts one of litl roosters calfs in sSodbusters corral and watches mamma protest.

<There's gonna be plenty of coal this winter.>

[litl rooster]
