16 Apr 05 - 12:53 PM (#1463013) Subject: RE: BS: Big Boasts..... From: Rapparee I'm the son of a bolt of lightning and magnitude 10 earthquake! When I was born the mountains were raised and the seas boiled! I suckled on 40-rod whiskey and was weaned on barbed wire, and when I was a baby in the cradle I had a live panther for a dolly. Two days after I was born I could out-scream my dolly and walk fifty miles across the burning desert sands wearing rattlesnakes for shoes! Each of my fists is like a cobalt bomb, and if I were to hit you you'd know first hand what happens when you are sucked into a Black Hole! I pull out aching teeth with my fingers and drive in 20 penny spikes in their place! I can out run, out shoot, out wrestle, out lie, out talk, and out drink any man and prit' near any woman! I kin start dancin' at sundown and dance clear through to next month and never stop to take a breath! Angels call me for singin' lessons, and God himself begs me to sing for his dinner entertainment! I know everything in every book ever written and everything in every book that ever will be writ! Woman beg for me, men fear me, and coral snakes die if they bite me! There ain't no horse I can't ride, horn I can't toot, or thing I can't do! How's that? |

I was 15 before I got my first pair of shoes; by then, my feet were so tough, I wore them out on the INside first....I'm half Alligator and I ride tornadas.. |

17 Apr 05 - 09:16 AM (#1463462) Subject: RE: BS: Big Boasts..... From: Rapparee Shucks, my baby brother usta ride tornados just fer fun back when he was lessen a year old. I never did, 'cause I'd wrassle 'em. And goin' ta school I usta walk 15 miles each way, in snow up to my cowlick, UPHILL both ways! We didn't have any money, so's my brothers and my sister an' me only had one pair of boots, I'd wear 'em on Monday, and Tony'd wear 'em on Tuesday, only with the feet reversed so's they'd wear even, an' Ted on Thursday, and Martha on Friday with the feet reversed agin. On Wednesday we'd let a poor family use 'em. This wasn't so bad, but Mom always got us the cheapest boots, so's one year I remember we had one patched up hip boot in size 17 AAA and the other was one of them "rubbers" in 4E. That was the year Ted lost the hip boot in a snow drift, along with his left leg; he'd stepped into the drift by mistake (it was 47 feet 3.4945 inches deep at the shallow part) and the temperature was so cold inside the drift that everything just froze solid to the snow. He didn't notice that most of his left leg was missing until we got home, mostly because his right leg hadn't yet caught up to the growing he'd done on his left side and he just figgered that he'd finally evened out. I had to go back and retrieve the boot and the leg, which I did, but that's another story for later, since I gotta go to Boise in a couple hours and I gotta start the anti-boredom pills. |

18 Apr 05 - 08:13 AM (#1464220) Subject: RE: BS: Big Boasts..... From: Rapparee Kendall, quite seriously -- my nieces and nephews grew up on their father and uncles telling them stuff like this. They love it even now, when the oldest is married and has his own kid. The stories I wrote for them over the years are carefully saved and when I arrive I'm asked to read one and then "Jus one more! Please!" Most of them are set in a Swamp. Even more have been told for years, only I filed off the serial numbers and present 'em as genuine experiences. Snow snakes, a haunted outhouse, sailing across a lake of quicksand (to smooth the boards, of course), garshrikes, Mississippi Valley Rubberwood trees, why the dinosaurs all moved first to Yellowknife and then to beyond the Brooks Range, giant man-eating bats -- they love 'em all. Even today a good story (or even a lousy, but imaginative, story) can make kids pay attention. And adults. You're never too old for your fantasy button to be pushed. |
