Brown Paper Cowboy



The posse, headed by the sheriff, stopped at the old-timer’s homestead.



"Say, have you seen the outlaw known as the Brown Paper Cowboy pass this

way old-timer ?" says the sheriff.



"What does he look like ?" replies the old-timer.



"Well", says the sheriff, "he has a brown paper hat, brown paper boots,

brown paper trousers, a brown paper shirt, a brown paper jacket, a brown

paper saddle, brown paper saddlebags, a brown paper horse and a brown

paper gun with brown paper bullets."



"What's he wanted for ?", asks the old-timer.



The sheriff replies.......









...(oh dear, you're really not going to like this)....







"Rustling!"







Busy day again, see you all later! ;-)

Good morning Simon, Team, NNYM and Fellow Blogpoppets! Hope good weekends were had by all.

V tired and uninspired this am as the GB has been poorly all weekend.



Only went through four changes of clothes yesterday and I'm not sure the room carpet will ever be the same again. Just waiting for his elder sister to go down with it :(



A

#59 Elbow were great, thanks JPA!



#64 That's not good Andy - hugs to all of you

Morning all. Very uninspired musically today although U2 "Beautiful Day" would describe the weather here in Pudsey!

A_T - sorry to hear about your GB. I remember 'fondly', or not, a visit to Longleat (other wildlife parks also available...) when our GB was very young, and he decided to go down with a tummy bug. Not an experience I ever want to repeat...

#72 I replied to your text ;o)

Gosh, this theme is proving to be a bit of a stumper!



How about...

Not sure if either fit, but that's about the best I can do :/



Must get busy with the decorating stuff, as the day out has been rescheduled...



Have a good Monday everyone xxx

It's a bit quiet for a Monday. Where is everyone? - has today's theme got the bloggers' collectively stumped?



Ho hum - better get on with some work then.

#62 Jackie - We take our twins to a place called Sundown Adventureland, and they have a Wild West area with a cemetary with comedic gravestones, one says 'In memory of Lou Paper - hanged for rustling!' ;D

#79



Aaah, Sundown Adventure...I remember it well. Not sure who had more fun in Storytelling Land or the Giant Sand Pit, me or the boys. It was a close one I tell ya.



It was called Pets Corner...back in the day!

#77 Deebee, it is a bit of a tricky theme.

Yes Deebee - it does seem rather laid back in here for a Monday - perhaps most are busy working.



Also our Chatty Chaps aren't here at the mo.

I'll be back for a natter at lunch time.

#84 I'm not sure if I qualify as a "chatty chap" but I have had a busy morning.



I have been reading the posts, as and when I can, and I must admit I'm impressed with some of the suggestions for, what I think, is a tricky theme.
