the insect legs help fill in her mustache.

She’s quite

banjoscotty - Posted - 09/03/2019:  06:03:00

capable of defending herself.

However,,she doesn't

OM45GE - Posted - 09/03/2019:  06:35:13

really like to defend herself, preferring instead to exact vengeance when you least expect it.

One of her favorite

Pastimes is shooting the bugs when they get close enough.

The 10 ga usually suffices, but occasionally

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/03/2019:  07:49:42

a howitzer is her preferred attack weapon.

Meanwhile, back at Rosa’s cantina

OM45GE - Posted - 09/03/2019:  08:02:56

Rosa's Chihuahua was furiously humping Black Bart's German Shepherd.

The dogs seemed to be enjoying themselves, but Rosa and Bart

we’re immersed in each other and oblivious to the canines.

Just then, Marty Robbins

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/03/2019:  11:54:42

staggered in with a bullet hole in his chest.

Rosa rushed over to him

OM45GE - Posted - 09/03/2019:  12:43:41

and asked if this meant she didn't have to repay the $50 she owed him.

Some folks thought she

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/03/2019:  14:32:28

Looked a lot like Secretariat.

However, her trotting skills

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/03/2019:  15:14:20

we’re not to be trifled with, especially after eating prunes.

Zorro showed up

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/03/2019:  17:52:11

As usual, ... pruneless.

The mighty rumblings foretold

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/03/2019:  18:29:43

the arrival of Thunder, with Red Ryder in the saddle.

But  Little Beaver

and Tonto were whooping it up at The Prairie Dog Saloon, back in Cactus Gulch.



Tables were overturned

OM45GE - Posted - 09/04/2019:  03:59:10

glasses smashed and mirrors shattered.

All in all,

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/04/2019:  14:05:52

Glass really isn’t very flexible.

But that’s not to say

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/04/2019:  17:10:12

it’s a useless substance, fit only for the dustbin of history.

For instance, my plastic

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/04/2019:  17:26:35

-shelled banjo couldn’t handle the heat in the back of my old Hudson.



Luckily, the remains

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2019:  03:37:56

had some parts that turned out to be worth more than the banjo itself.

I sense a business opportunity

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/05/2019:  05:59:52

around every corner.

As a matter of fact, I’ve been hawking

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2019:  06:33:41

my used shoe laces as macrame material.

I cut off the aglets to use as

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/05/2019:  07:23:53

A bartering tool to purchase mold spores.

With these spores I will

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/05/2019:  08:54:01

test lab animals for their allergy to maple syrup.

These government research grants

OM45GE - Posted - 09/05/2019:  15:33:05

have been an excellent way for me to avoid having to find a job.

I’m able to support

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/05/2019:  15:58:47

Myself by leaning against a lamp post.

After A whirlwind romance , that cost me around $12.00,

OM45GE - Posted - 09/06/2019:  04:37:06

which seemed like a fair deal at the time.

Only later, when I discovered

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/06/2019:  06:44:08

I’d have to appear before a judge did I lose all sense of fairplay.

With vengeance in my heart, I

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/06/2019:  13:57:45

reached fo my .44.

But it wasn’t

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/06/2019:  17:46:35

Anywhere near my holster.

After the initial embarrassment of

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/06/2019:  20:31:18

mindlessly groping around my midriff, I hightailed it for Johnson’s back forty.

My mind was out to get me

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/07/2019:  02:01:17

when I stepped in a pile of what you tend to find in a back 40.

I found a tussock, and was wiping the excrement off my boot, when I heard the fearsome cry of

OM45GE - Posted - 09/07/2019:  05:21:32

a lonesome farmer's daughter.

I turned around with a start and saw

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/07/2019:  06:19:45

The farmers son.

Oh , he was right handsome but...

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/07/2019:  10:04:35

a bit in the effeminate side.

I told him to join the Boy Scouts

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/07/2019:  13:11:54

Where he could fashion a wardrobe of sticks and such.

What a great ....

OM45GE - Posted - 09/07/2019:  15:18:09

idea he exclaimed, will you join with me?

Thinking quickly, I told him

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/07/2019:  16:14:59

I had a pie in the oven.

Lest we think ill

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/07/2019:  18:26:31

of the lad, he was confused, as I am far to old to become a Boy Scout.

So, my boots now cleaned up, I set off for

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/08/2019:  06:12:20

The nearest Walmart.

As i stalked the aisles, I could sense

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/08/2019:  06:15:27

the manager giving me the evil eye.

I told him I was doing research

OM45GE - Posted - 09/08/2019:  15:11:44

in exploited workers.

That really

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/09/2019:  05:53:24

sent him into a red rage.

He summoned his sleepy security guard

yeoldbanjoguy - Posted - 09/09/2019:  07:59:57

Who had brought an extra blanket that day.

The wind whipped through the half off lingerie aisle as

Bill Rogers - Posted - 09/09/2019:  12:19:04

the nearby fans on display revved uncontrollably.

The runaway fans’ power usage was too much for the circuit breakers, and as the store plunged into darkness

OM45GE - Posted - 09/09/2019:  13:45:41

the normally docile shoppers turned into pillaging maniacs.

The first things they went for were

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/09/2019:  13:48:01

the guns and ammo, in case the local constabulary were to pursue them in a high speed chase.

Arms were bitten and legs were kicked

OM45GE - Posted - 09/09/2019:  16:03:26

and some good natured teasing as well.

A favorite jape was

chuckv97 - Posted - 09/10/2019:  17:38:20

the old “pail-of-water-on-the-door” trick.

Meanwhile, back at the laundromat

OM45GE - Posted - 09/11/2019:  03:35:26

Tonto was taking a spin in one of the dryers.

He said it was almost as much fun as
