We have confirmed launch! Mission command has been transferred from Cape Canaveral to Houston for orbital tracking.*wince* Ow! Well Nip has been wanting to hit the buffet for some food. But all hope isn't lost yet. I mean there MIGHT be some spinach somewhere on that table.

Now you're talking, Andrick, and just as I was thinking. What went *through* Nip's head
as Gus crushed that beer can on his head, "(*with Popeye's voice*) That's all I can stands, because I can't stands no more!" I too hope there's a pre-opened can of spinach on that table. Maybe some football fans at the dance may've made a cereal snack with Flutie Flakes and Wheaties mixed in it!Regardless Tuck may also see what he can do, those foxboys ought to think the ball will be in their court yet! And some advice for Beebee,...dump that *big-bad-bully-boar* for Gus!

Just point me towards the nearest Starbucks. Preferably one that hasn't been trashed by anarchists.

The gloves are off!Well the skies are clear and the air has lost its previous Nip and it looks like Tuck may head over to the buffet for a Nip of his own. So do you think the Todd boys are going to Tuck tail and run? Or are they going to Nip Gus's alcoholic aggression in the Bud? I mean they can't dance around the issue anymore. What'll it BeeBee'tween haedin' for the hills and a Little Bit of battle Roy-al Tagger team wrestlin', but any speculation is just a buncha' Big Malarkey. Your Gus is as good as mine at what will Pop Otto the next strip.To everyone else: I am deeply sorry.------------------

Those and the citronella candles must have made it look like Edwards Air Force Base from Nip's altitude. Nip has already got his belt, JT, but it had nothing to do with his seat. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin ... P>Speaking of belts, anyone else notice the size of the dinner platter Gus is sportin'? Do people actually wear that kind of metal plating when they're nowhere near a saddle?For those who are wuss of heart, stop reading. Everyone else, you've been forewarned.I imagine Pa Todd would be vixen to show up since an adult has taken to Whelpin' on his sixteen year old boy. Maybe after Boarrowing Tuck's shotgun, Pa Todd will take the bull by the horns and be after Gus like Thunder after lightning. But even this may go awRoy as anything dealin' with Nip tends to get Squirrely. Maybe everyone at the dance will be treated to some of the Todd's pyrotechnic efFox or Turtlely suprised by Ma Todd Doggedly chasin' Gus off with a skillet. Well, wherever Ralph takes the story with Gus & BeeBee I'm sure it'll be funny. Of course I didn't make the 'bunny' pun here. I still have standards. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/rolleye ... P>*Andrick grabs hold tightly as the cylinder he is sitting on drops through the hatch. Grabbing the hat off his head and waving it all around, Andrick screams "Yee-Haw!" as he rides the bomb down onto Kiev.*

"...please remain seated until Nip comes to a complete stop at the buffet table and the captain has turned off the seatbelt sign. Thanks again for flying 'Air Todd.'"

Personally, I'd call it a surgical strike. Dr. Gus rendered his client insensible, and performed a corn-ear-all implant!
Now that's hospitality.

Elliot, Andrick-- Thank you. You have opened the gates to so many possumbilities.------------------

yes, but the execution was a little corny...as regards ol' gus's dinner plate? most of the guys i know who wear those have never been closer to a saddle than in a western outfitters store. can you imagine the poor horse who would have to support that pig of a hog? anyway, i know a couple-three guys who have actually earned the right to wear the platters (i.e. they won them fair and square), and they generally don't, except for rodeo-related occasions. to them it would be like tom hanks putting his oscars on a chain and wearing them as jewelry. if you know you're good, does it matter who else thinks so?geo------------------

Actually, I've never seen anybody actually wear one of those things while on horseback. And I can give every guy here the practical reason for that: consider where that buckle is riding. Now consider what you're sitting on - a hard leather surface. Now consider what's going to get pinched when the horse makes an unexpected move... >.<Believe me. Anybody who really rides a horse wears something much more reasonable when it comes to belt buckles...

David Adrian · Post by **David Adrian** » Tue Jan 29, 2002 11:31 am

Oh, it can happen Andrick, and without the spine snapping - although it would get bent and compressed rather painfully. Which the horse can also manage with ease. As to how I know - well, let's just say that summer camp always had a few people with larger egos than brains. Every year, at least two or three pre-Gus types got a painful lesson in practicality...

Mothspiral this is for you:
So the skillet WAS involved; it also looks like Nip hit the Black-Eyed peas as well as the cornbread. And here I was thinking Nip had gone from the Frying Pan into the fire. Things have really panned out for Nip, having the Metal to take on Gus and laying him out like a wooden Board. Considering the lack of help I'm Gussing not many have the Gusto to confront GG. I especially love Nip's deadPan delivery of the one-liner. However I think he may have a problem, considering what Ralph had posted earlier. Now Nip could be in Hog heaven with the high esteem the girls'd give him or BeeBee could round on Nip and give him another Earfull.Geo, thanks for the info. Sounds like where you're at insecure men buy big buckles. Where I'm at the insecure buy big SUVs (and never take them offroad). And speaking of buckles...
David, I'm trying to imagine that scenario of yours and I can't think of a way for what your implying to happen. If, somehow, it did I figure I'd have bigger problems to worry about, namely figuring out if it was my spine or pelvis which broke. Now it may be my city-boy thinking but I thought the original intent of those buckles was to prevent a body from being gouged by the saddlehorn when a mount bucks, rears or suddenly stops. Now I know most riding saddles don't have a saddlehorn but for those few which do that buckle would probably be a good idea to have along.------------------

sorry...i miscommunicated...i didn't mean the fellas wear them when they're actually in rodeos. by 'rodeo related events', i meant the accompanying festivities where everybody has on their sunday hats and their 'company' boots and there's lots of big hair and glitter. the first night, where the pretty girl in the short skirt goes out with the flag and everyone cheers and sings the national anthem--and if you're far south enough the minister says the prayer. or the dance, or the part where last year's champion comes out on the stage and wishes this year's crop of fellas the best of luck--even if he's competing against them the very next night...then he wears the buckle...------------------
