Ooooo... right good hunting for ye, wasn't it, Animal? Don't fancy squirrel, Turkey I love but doesn't agree with me... and I'm not a cannibal... so, how much for one of the venison carcasses? Well, make that two? Perhaps a trade, with the remainder in gold and silver. ~Lady B ***rolls the second cartload up, sans tax collectors (the little buggers are getting wise)*** LadyB, ye'll have ter dicker wit Bo on dat one, I'm just the supplier. Ramson, I'll take wot ever ya gots dat be cold an strong. Working up a bit o a thirst here. Animal

***rolls a large cart, heaping with venison, turkeys, squirrls and tax collectors*** Hunting was good over at Sterlings, where do you want this lot? I need to head back for the second load. Animal

Sterling, I know your far better half is looking out for your own safety but damn man, ye don have a key ter yer own weapons???? Surely them deers be making a mess out o the new plantings and such. Bo, after thinkin' on it a bit........ I needs some rum fer the headache it gave me. Just let me know where ye want the hides and meat put and I'll drom off a cart full. Doc, me only raises me blade when facing dem damn Spaniards and tax people. If you be neither, ye be safe enough. Syren lass, scratch a little more to the right, dem critters in dere keeps movin' around on ye. Animal

Now hold fast a second here... ye want me and mine to protect ye lot by manning said fort (next ye will be wanting us to build it as well)... ye want me and mine to arrest ye on occasion to give the appearance of things being on the up and up...(I reckon that means I needs add a gaol to my list of dependencies on the plantation grounds) And yet the only thing me and mine get out of the bargain is to have my daughter threatened with harm whilst I am away ..um...requisitioning merchandise for my father's trading empire? Hmmm seems this proposition is decidedly listing in one direction and not mine. Oh by the by Bo, Animal, Patrick and other supposed social outcasts of the village....hunting party Sunday after church ...the hoards herds of deer need thinning along with the rafters of turkeys .... too much meddling about in the corn and tobacco... Ohhhhh Booooooy, we get to kill something finally!!!!!! Bo, ya got the smokehouse ready yet???? I think we're going to need a bigger one. ***eyes the church, that might be the right size**** Animal

Easy now. I'm just laying plans for my place, which will stay well outside any bounds of incorporation. But do take care: the acreage between the town and farm will be the hunting grounds. Tax collectors are always in season! Tax Collectors in season?? They taste funny, nothing at all like chicken or beef or pork. Their hides are worthless. The are fun to chase though, watching them waddle away, trying to run. Very entertaining. Animal

Retirement???? Coward says I!!!!! I say he just doesn't want to try for a fourpete, afraid he'll get beat. Retire indeed!!!!! Animal

Yep, me an Patrick have a plan......now where is that damnable pyrate hunter Sterling??? Have ter keeps an eye out for that one eyed @#&^%*#% Animal

Ack...Let us avoid this subject for as long as possible... we were in camp down at PiP and I overheard someone mention that Sarah was starting to look "damn hot"... well was not I surprised when I noticed my first reaction was to literally reach for my sword...good thing I was not wearing one at the time... Animal sneaks a peek at the lovely Lady Sarah,hmmmm, then look towards Capt'n Sterling.......and runs like hell for the woods.............................................. Animal

Wot Dutch sed. Looks good tho. Animal

I knew you were a heathen, Mr. Cross!!!! Good on ya, mate!!!! Animal

A fb and a fa, you're moving up the ranks there Jack!!!! Good job, ya fb/fa. Animal

Me too, John......I live in the forest with the other animals. Stupid settlements. Animal

As you can see, I have no home. I would be one of the guys supplying Bo with all the hides he could handle and Bo would supply us with all the drink and lead we needed. I would be living on the fringes of society. Animal

Never read the book but saw the movie. If it is the same, an interesting adaptation. Animal

Dutch, I still have this marked on my calendar. Haven't heard anything from Canon for sure yet. Still looking for work. I'll keep you posted. Animal

Thank ye sir!!! I takes dat as a compliment!!! I always try to do wot me dear mudder says.....sometimes. Animal

That's me boy!!! I knew there was hope fer ye yet. Even wit ye hangin' with dem pyrate hunters!!! Animal

Bo, thanks for the link. As for the dial-up, with all your skills and skullduggery, you should be able to tap into cable or build a satellite dish and receiver. Though I would never suggest anything illegal. Animal

Mr. Cross, I'm sorry to bust your bubble but your mother lied to you. Mothers always lie to their children to make them feel good about themselves. My mother, however, told me the truth. That's why I am the way I am. Animal

The kit looks great Patrick. It gives me some ideas on mine. Good job mate!!!! Animal

Jimmy Buffet wrote a song called "Growing Older But Not Up". If the shoe fits........... Animal

Bo, ya ole fart!!!! The most heartfelt wishes for a Happy Birthday, my friend. Yer catchin' up with me or I'm catchin' up with you, I can't remember. Animal

I'd be interested in seeing that also, Dutch. It would be nice to have some form of period ID: Name: Animal Address: Back porch Species: Undetermined Description: Scruffy Animal

Be careful "sayin" that aloud Mr. Cross, it may go bad fer ye here. Bo Live dangerously, Mr. Cross.It's good for character buildin'. Agreein' with Capt'n Bo isn't that bad, no worse than hangin' around with M.A.Doge. Animal

And fight we will. You might shoot Diosa a pm and ask her about the hide. I'll call a friend of mine down there that hunts gators and see if he can help. Between the both of us we should be able to get ya a real hide. Animal
