she had a lot at stake.

Her sense of humor

lit a burning desire in her foes that left her smoldering in their shadows.

The Peoria ball team was in town

with their new right-handed pitcher Leonard “Lefty” Larson from Dubuque.

Tickets

OM45GE - Posted - 02/23/2022:  16:54:41

are only available from scalpers.

They offer discounts

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/23/2022:  17:28:32

if you contribute to the “Scalpers of the First Nations” organization.

Meanwhile, Pat Brady and Nellybelle

OM45GE - Posted - 02/24/2022:  02:48:27

were on the side of the road with steam gushing from Nellybelle’s grill.

Pat was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/24/2022:  03:32:30

was upset because he was already running late for Saturday afternoon BINGO at the VFW.

Just then

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/24/2022:  09:15:01

Roy and Dale happened by on their razors.

They stormed past Pat with maniacal cackles

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/24/2022:  10:55:46

engulfing him in a cloud of dusty fumes.

Fortunately Tonto and Scout

OM45GE - Posted - 02/24/2022:  17:09:53

came to the rescue.

They took Nellybelle in tow but left

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/24/2022:  17:43:51

Pat to stumble home on his own.

“White man walk with forked feet”

OM45GE - Posted - 02/25/2022:  02:34:26

Tonto cryptically said as he headed off through the sage with Nellybell in tow.

He was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/25/2022:  05:22:43

part way home when he stopped in his tracks and asked himself “Did I turn off the oven before I left home”?

Paralyzed with doubt

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/25/2022:  08:55:31

he poured swamp water into Nellybelle’s rad and raced home.

Smoke was pouring out

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/25/2022:  11:16:03

of the Hooterville Cannonball smokestack as it bore down on the Shady Rest Hotel. 

 

Charley and Floyd

OM45GE - Posted - 02/25/2022:  17:38:06

had been drinking since the night before and were passed out on the hotel porch.

The end

is near” read the sign held aloft by protesters.

The crowd

OM45GE - Posted - 02/26/2022:  05:12:16

was hoping that the end included a huge block party with free beer.

They had already

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/26/2022:  06:10:56

set up bouncy castles and dunk tanks for the revelry.

Little did they know

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/26/2022:  07:55:08

they had already been infiltrated by government authorities in disguise.

It became apparent

OM45GE - Posted - 02/26/2022:  10:19:01

once they were all in handcuffs.

The arrests were

who was undercover, was on video front and center in his tiny SPEEDO he used as a disguise.

Elly Mae and Granny

OM45GE - Posted - 02/26/2022:  16:13:01

paused the video and admired Sgt. O’Hara’s privates.

They were both

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/26/2022:  16:28:28

engrossed in provocative thought when Jethro showed up.

He took one look

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/26/2022:  16:42:22

at Elly Mae and pole vaulted into the cement pond to cool off.

Granny called Jed

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/27/2022:  06:19:39

“Flat out lazy” because he hadn’t whittled notches in the new pot passers.

Jed wasn’t

OM45GE - Posted - 02/27/2022:  06:34:58

overly concerned as he knew Granny was a little unhinged.

He found her eccentricity

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/27/2022:  07:30:29

to be at once, irritatingly annoying and provocatively refreshing.

That’s not to say

he doesn’t at times hit the bottle to escape life.

His Beverly Hills still

produced a prodigious amount of mighty tasty hooch.

It was

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/28/2022:  03:49:34

the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day.

I was

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/28/2022:  08:02:09

bungee-jumping off the Tallahatchee bridge.

My suspenders got caught

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 02/28/2022:  10:25:20

on the mirror of a southbound Freightliner Conventional cab big rig with a Detroit DD16 600HP Diesel engine.

The driver

OM45GE - Posted - 03/01/2022:  03:26:45

didn’t even slow down and was cresting the Choctaw ridge when my suspenders broke and I fell to the pavement.

It was a miracle

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 03/01/2022:  05:10:10

I wasn’t injured, instead rolling to the soft green grass beside the road.

However, my pants

we’re ripped to shreds displaying my new Froot-of-the-looms.

and thought I was dead, so she threw me off of the Tallahatchie bridge. 

 

When I

OM45GE - Posted - 03/01/2022:  17:17:10

realized where I was, it was like deja vu all over again.

I’m beginning to think

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/01/2022:  17:45:39

my life is a never-ending nightmare.

If it weren’t for bad luck

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 03/02/2022:  03:29:57

I wouldn’t have any luck at all.

I’ll tell ya, I’m so unlucky

OM45GE - Posted - 03/02/2022:  03:44:01

even my imaginary friends are afraid to hang out with me.

Just yesterday

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/02/2022:  04:11:39

I got run over by a bus.

Good thing I was wearing a suit of armo(u)r

OM45GE - Posted - 03/02/2022:  07:15:56

which was impossible to walk in which may explain the bus incident.

The 87 year old coach driver

asked for Lucky Strike and a shot of bourbon.

He said his nerves

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 03/02/2022:  17:11:48

were frayed because his 26 year old Sugar Baby Momma was parading provocatively around the coach as he was trying to drive.

His distraction

is understandable but I heard he was fired anyway.

He may consider
