Assignment # 10: Death

Since Cowboy Stanley and Lizz seem to be MIA (knitting needle accident perhaps?) I have decided to post the next assignment. As Persephone is in Hades, and a prominent new cowboy icon, Heath Ledger of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, recently died, I've decided that Death is the theme for our latest assignment. Memorialize someone or something close to your heart. I dedicate this post to the recently deceased, Maila Nurmi and Roy Scheider. -JL & MM

Maila Nurmi as Vampira



Roy Scheider in JAWS

Welcome Rose and Johnny Ringo (and Bella)!

The first cowboy adoption took place at the new ranch. We now have a teenager, Jude's sister, among the keepers. She has posted some pics and Ringo has already made a new friend.

Not everybody does it, but everybody should

PS don't forget LKB's mini-assignment for thanktofugiving...

How does your cowboy celebrate thanksgiving? If he is like Steve, he usually goes to Rochester and gets a tofurky and tries to pack lots of food and friends into a short time. Does he gather and make friends with Native Americans? Does he sit at the kids table? Show us!

I choose you.

Cowboy Stanley...you have been chosen to create our next mission. God speed and good luck.

Happy Halloween Cowboys!

Assignment # 9- All Hallows Masquerade

Cowboy +1

You are invited to celebrate an evening of trickery, self-indulgence, and things of a spooky nature. Points for most creative costume, best date, and creepiest/most-interesting locale. So, caper on a crypt, prance in perdition, or lap-dance at a library. Show your style with your ghoulish regalia and the companion of your choice.

From Wood to Wood

Deadwood Dick passes the tin star to pal Woody in the east. Nyssa has been busy shooting weddings and building her darkroom so we haven't seen Woody in awhile. Looking forward to our new assignment! -JL & MM
