Subject: The Dusty Trail

Posted by: sadwings
Date: Jul 18 19

Any of you cowboys and cowgirls ever seen a dusty, unshaven bronco-buster nail the inside of a spittoon from 20 feet? Probably not all that impressive with all the tobacco-chewin' range bums we've got around these parts, but check this out - pppt….pppt….pppt….Ting! Tang! Ting! Three for three! :-)

Anyway, that's just a small part of the rip-roaring, wild west adventure just waiting for those of you who would like to saddle up and ride with us out on the Dusty Trail. We've got plenty of horses and trail gear for all comers, and we've even got a friendly, loyal, dependable dog named Happy who will take good care of us as we sleep beneath the stars and experience exciting wild west adventures every day. So whenever you'd like to take a little break from quizzing, just saddle up and ride along with us for a spell, partners! We'd love to have you along one and all! :-)

Mark, I do hope we're still pals, brother. I just couldn't resist going for it when Jo laid out that invitation to get things going.

In the meantime, it looks like we are starting off with an important assignment from President Hayes. We've got to track down and bring in the Ruffian gang, one of the meanest, most rootinest, tootinest outlaw gangs in these here parts. Here's the nice part about it.....pppt…..TING! They are all out of ammo and there's no place left for them to run. We've got 'em trapped just over yonder in Outlaw Gorge over by the Broken Bow Pass. I'm about to round up my gear and we'll be ready to ride....

Before we get goin’, someone has to pick me up! Jo rocked my world when she revealed Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister! That’s so cool!

Dadgumit, Elle knows the Broken Bow Pass better than any cowgirl I ever seen! While she is out, I say we carry around a flag with us that looks strangely like a Colorado Rockies (or Denver Broncos) to represent her.

C’mere, Happy! You ready for an adventure, or what?

Nice intro, Kev! I'll be ridin my boy Dakota; he's kinda feisty and unpredictable but boy is he fast! Real purty, too. He's the one who threw me into a tree a while back, but I ain't holdin that against him. Me and him's both tough enough to survive a few little knocks. He's used to dogs, too, so Happy is safe runnin alongside us.
I'm ready to go whenever you got your posse together, sheriff - outlaws like me allus got kit packed in case we need to run at short notice!

Haha, here, take ma hand, Wild Card! Ayuh, Kiefer got him a twin named Rachel, she stays outta the limelight like us ordinary folk, I guess. Did you know he spent four or five years on the rodeo circuit in between makin movies, too? Got a ranch where he raises quarter horses. He's one helluva cowboy! Loves horses, loves dogs, what more could a gal want? Dust off yer pants, there, you might be in the saddle for a long time before we catch up to these bad guys. And that flag is the best idea I've heard in a long time! To Elle! *tips a snort out of a battered hipflask*

Well, well, now. Heh heh heh! By God! Pppt…..TING! That flag idea sounds like a mighty fine plan.

I been a-wonderin' iffen any o' you trail hounds knows anything about that there picture-takin' and maybe has some reliable picture-takin' equipment we could take along. This day and age around these here parts, you just never know what kinda famous gunslingers we might run into on the trail. Josey Wales, Rooster Cogburn, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Matt Dillon, Lucas McCain, the Cartwright brothers, the Barkley brothers - there's a whole heap of 'em runnin' around out there. Might even bump into some famous Injuns along the way. :-)

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed

I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six-gun lover
A candle in the wind....

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can...

Have you got the album? My favourite part is just before that track starts, when you hear a rifle being cocked and then Doc Scurlock says, "William H. Bonney, you....are not....a god."
Then Billy the Kid says, "Whyntcha pull the trigger and find out?"

Bon Jovi were perfect for that soundtrack. I've seen them live twice, and a couple of weeks ago The Viking was working security at their gig over here in Leicestershire. Still amazing after all these years.

I reckon we’re near ready to hit the trail! Happy is good about runnin’ atween our horses so he’ll be just fine! Or is it she?
Them Ruffians better be shakin’ in their boots!
Who’s bringin’ the tonsil paint?


(by the way, I am absolutely dreadful at talkin’ like a cowboy but the passion is all there!)

Nah, I ain't got none of that there Bon Jovi feller, Jo. I do like quite a number of their songs, pretty much all of them to a certain degree. I reckon my favorite tune by that swinging cat would probably be Born to be My Baby, but I just may have been influenced by the video, which I think is awesome. Yeah, they had some pretty nice talent going on there.

What did you and the Viking think about the video to that Wanted Dead or Alive tune? I think that's the name of it. Be honest, now! Heh heh! Pppt…...TING! I remember when that first came out, I had heard the song a few times before I ever saw the video, which was probably way back in the Stone Age when MTV had that awesome Headbanger's Ball show. Anyway, I was just sitting there watching videos one time and this one starts playing and I instantly had hopes that I was going to see Jon out in the wind on some boss-rocking Harley. I mean, he's talking about "on a steel horse I ride," well, okay, show us your steel horse, Jon. Show us how you ride that steel horse brother. There's got to be at least a quick glimpse or two of Jon out in the wind in this video with that kind of line in the song, wouldn't you think? Nope, not there. Not one single glimpse even for a split second. Nothing. I sat there waiting and waiting to see at least one shot of the man in command of that steel horse through the bustling New Jersey streets, but it was not to be. Shame on you for that, Mr. Steel Horse Riding Bon Jovi. :-p

Now that I think about it, you kids were probably both just children when that came out, Jo. Probably before the Viking even had his first bike. You guys were what, probably in junior high school or maybe even elementary school when that think came out? Both of you guys skipping along merrily and playing on the playground like good little schoolchildren. Hee hee! Just kidding around, dude. Seriously though, were you guys really right about that age when that song first came out? I'm thinking it had to have been right around 30 years ago.

Jen, don't you worry none about yore cowboy talkin' now, little missy. Yore doin' just fine over there. I reckon yore also right about it gittin' to be about time for us to ride. "Regulators!!" :-p

[Note found on Dusty Trail:]

I'm gone, because I got what I was after for. Jest look at you lot. Wanderin' around with ladyfolk and parasols and jewelry in Injun country with a couple of dandies whose brother's-in-laws got them some batches and think they's lawmen. Jest whaddoo you think them batches mean out here? Batches? I don't care about no stinkin' batches! And Wells Fargo is gonna wonder about why they sent that chest fulla gold eagles with you lot and then it jest disappeared! Y'all think you westerners 'cause you can cook beans on a chuckwagon? Explain it to them Apache jest over that there ridge. I'm outta here while I still can ride. But if any of you make it, I'll be glad to take you for the rest some other day. Yee haw!

Ha, Kev, now here's the thang.....I was 14 or 15 when that song came out (Wanted), but - and this is gonna sound pretty durn awful when you put it this way - The Viking was just a baby. Cos yup, I done married me a feller 13 years my junior. Our paths didn't cross until a LOT later. I was in high school rockin out to Bon Jovi while he was in his high chair rockin out to The Wheels On The Bus.

A lot of the time when I really like a song, I kinda make up my own video in my head. There's definitely motorbikes in mine for Wanted.

Ladyfolk? Parasols? This ain't the Old West, Bart, this here's the New World. Who you callin a city slicker? Way I heard it, last time a cow sidled up to your sorry corduroy-clad butt, y'all fell down runnin and started cryin for your mamma. This here outlaw ain't no lady. First time I sat on a horse I was 5 months old - got an old black and white photy-gragh to prove it, too, me up on the front of my mamma's saddle. Have fun countin your decoy gold - the real money was hid in a hole Happy dug, and it's since been delivered to the bank safe an sound. We're comin fer ya, now, though, so I hope you got eyes in the backa yer head!

Yeah, how can there possibly be no bikes at all in the Wanted video, especially with how many times that long-haired hippy says "on a steel horse I ride"? I just can't get over that! :-p

Anyway, partners, before we head out to go round up the notorious Ruffian gang, I just want y'all to keep somethin' in mind. I reckon there must be more than a billion people in this world by now, maybe even closer to two billion these days, but out of all them people, there's really only two kinds. Here's a good friend of mine that'll explain it to ya.....

Mighty fine shootin' iron, partner. I reckon about the finest there is these days. Carry one of 'em myself, along with this here Remington #3 and this '51 Navy for backup. When it comes to my rifle shootin'...…..pppt…...TING!...….got this here '73 Winchester and this '60 Henry I've had since the war. Long as a man got himself a good horse, I figure a man can't have too many guns when he's out here doin' what we're doin'.

Can't say I've seen too many cooks who were good at handlin' them Peacemakers, but I've seen you in action and I'm glad to have you ridin' with us, partner.
