Chapter 68 - City Slickers

On their way North again the boys decided to stop off at Kroombit Cattle Statiopn to share their extensive husbandry skills with the natives.

After helping them round up the goats on horseback (them not the goats) Hoots and Gimli dove into the branding ring and began wrestling goats to the floor in readiness for branding.





After these exertions Hoots had to retire to his bed (to where Gimli felt obliged to deliver his supper to later) but unfortunately his Imp of the Perverse did not and was to team up with Gimli's later (as we shall see).

After a camp-fire supper attention turned to the bull rodeo. Sir Ranuplh went up second and coincidentally lasted just two bucks, although this was sufficient time to leave him with badly bruised balls.

Sundance (the new name for Silent Bob) produced a storming performance and hung on for the longest time by far however as he clambered off he was somewhat grey. However the real performance of the night was from the driver who somehow managed to surf on the bull's back.

Of course the natural way to recover from such a bollock bashing is to have a game of "Beer Cartoon Limbo". For those of you unaware of this genius of a game it involves picking up a beer cartoon with your teeth whilst only your feet are touching the ground then tearing a portion off and passing the cartoon on to your neighbour for their turn.

Clearly it requires a high level of flexibility. Despite his natural deficiencies in thie area he fought through the early rounds through the simple medium of tearing his groin and gritting through the pain. Eventually however the cartoon got too low and he dropped out.

However that was the moment that the two Imps chose to strike and he began to hand out "motivational" bon mots to all and sundry. Well not quite all and sundry as he just stood behind Tamara (a Swiss dancer) as she bent over and did the splits and enjoyed the view.

"Dirty Pig" and "Dirty Old Man" are the politest descriptions she applied to him although she appears to have forgiven him this morning astonishingly.

In possession news he has torn his green "My Little Unicorn" trousers, his repair is less than invisible but seems to be holding.
