Introduction

Hello Town folk

@Oaktree @tonys @LeChuck

Yes I too needed time to recharge batteries, reground myself and whatever else the current phrase is.

Hard to catch up.

Hard to work out at times current theme.

This works well if you visit regularly.

I find that when I have responded they are so far and few between they are missed.

The story swings back and forth to new themes, people's current life.

As I use a computer desktop and do not access that daily I do not receive notifications the same as if you use a phone and can reply then.

Plus like all of us here, I too have times where I need to have space and deal with life challenges, support others and all that comes with that

So I do wonder whether or not this will work for me and just as importantly all of you.

It was lovely to be included and I appreciated your including Big Chief and Little Foot Meggle. You did some homework laugh. That was welcoming. Thank you.

Thank all of you for acknowledging me despite my absence.

Thank you Tonys for such poetic prose. Very warming.

Many many pages ago there was mention of number 8

Well surprise.

It is also my lucky number.

Rename Toon Town.

My suggestion if not already decided.

No. 8

or how about

Grey Rock ....Has several meanings and might help with the protecting the boundaries of the town so to speak.

Or if my not being on here frequently is unsettling which it might be, I will withdraw and retract my town naming.

I am not sulking or feeling self pity by the way.

I am a realist.

I leave it in the hands of the regulars.

The lioness can still roam the boundaries and overlook the town's ups and downs from high up on the mountain ranges.

Toodle-oo

Hope your all in good "spirits' tonys 2guns..

Hi @Sophia1

How lovely of you to drop by the town. Maybe we should name the Saloon - Lucky 8!

Yes sorry this thread can be slightly confusing, I weave my real life amongst the narrative. It’s hard to seperate.
I love Big Chief and Little Foot. I hope you don’t mind me making him a boy.
Did you see that we are looking at getting a herd of cattle so that you will have an endless supply of bones? Wonder is @tonys has pulled that bank job yet?
We have missed our Lioness dear @Sophia1 but we are glad that you have come back. We do hope that you will try and stay here somehow. You don’t have to catch up, just pop in where you can.
How are you getting on now @LeChuck ? Are you feeling any better. Us ruffians need our town Sheriff back to keep us from burning the whole town down. It’s a wonder that the place is still standing.

Let me check Sophia1’s post again and then I will be back.

@tonys @Sophia1 @LeChuck

Ok I second Sophia1’s vote of officially renaming the town Grey Rock! Seems fitting as we have a couple of Indian characters.

I also vote that we name the saloon The Lucky 8 Saloon!

Waiting for others to cast their votes…

Meggle

O K. . . @Sophia1 @Sophia1 @LeChuck Now where's my glasses . . . lets see here. . . .

Towns called . . . what.. ! Rrey Gock.. well if ya say so. dyslexia kicks in when old tonys

has a few too many.

And what have we got here. . . the saloons called the lucky ate. . . Ate.... Reminds me of the time I

Ate an old woman's liver with a plate of "fava beans and a nice chianti" . . .

The days when I behave are few and far between.

And all because we have Indian in town. Tonys... he love Indian. Give him runs and make

but hole burn. But also make him good n thirsty

So ... Big day for tonys.. hicup... burp... belch... tonys ate Indian In the new town of

Rrey Gock... . . . burp... hicup. . . how come that colour..

Never mind WHISKY..... who's dealin... tonys 2guns...

Veggie patch making progress. @Oaktree , well done, proud of you mate. Don't worry to much about getting blown away . I ran out of amo weeks ago. t 2gns

@tonys

You can keep Toon towns if not liking grey rock and 8

I am last to arrive inn town so should have least say

Leave it up to others

meanwhile town with no name

Helloooooo!

How are we guys? I'm not the best of company at the moment but I'm popping in when I can!

Let's get a rodeo in! Maybe we need a few cowboys to keep us company! Very cautiously, sneak em out the back of the rodeo under cover of darkness, lest we let the darkneas in. Do we know anyone weird enough to hang here?

Or we could keep the wagon parked and go out exploring in other towns, knowing we have a home to come back to.

Been cranking up the latest jinks from NF. It's pretty fantastic. Song called hope is very very good.

Still on the lockup, struggling to read the wanted posters at the moment and keep up with the goss!

How are you all? @Sophia1 @Oaktree @tonys?

Sophia you're definitely as much a resident as all of us. You roar as loud or quietly as you want to. You name what you want and do what you want! That's what this thread is for 🙂 I love grey rock and 8 bit.

I don't think we need to worry about Grey Rock or the saloon. Might be some tumbleweeds sometimes but I think the bones are solid. If it starts to feel like a ghost town, we can always jump on a nag and take a ride to the nearest outpost and try to behave ourselves for a while! It'll be waiting for us.

The important thing is that we've kept this corner of the world a safe space. It's full of scoundrels, but they're loveable ragamuffins.

Highly recommend NF's new album "hope" for anyone who likes a bit of singing with a bit of rapping. It's a great album about his mental health. Very relatable

I'm going to randomly break the fourth wall, jump the shark, cross the border into the music threads territory and add a song, because I want to and that's how we roll in Grey Rock. Anything goes as far as I'm concerned. Suspect you will all hate it but that's ok!

Everyone hates my music on the music thread, soooo It's a hoedown in Grey Rock!! Listen, or not, but I don't feel anxious posting random stuff here. Might post a few paintings for the wall sometime, maybe a poem for the beautiful waitress or a jig for the barkeep. Would love if you guys also have some random things to drag into the saloon.

Good vibes to all, Lechuck xxx

I'm leaning into grey rock, I think when Toby's staggers out of 8bit and Sobers up he'll have no troubles. Besides I quite like rrey gock...

Woohoo a rodeo,

Quick grab your cowboy hat and jump on your nags. I hear the rodeo is in town in the next town over. A bit of a ride through the desert. Looking forward to watching @tonys compete in the bull ride for amateurs. Give him a whiskey for extra courage right before his turn. This is just the sort of excitement we have been waiting for. There should be a good crowd for me to practice my pick pocketing skills on. Can’t wait…
