Default Boy did I goof.

The title of this thread should really be the perils of having too many friends.

Recently, I posted a thread about a wonderful set of grips I had just received.

I got the grips the same day I had knee surgery and my wife brought the envelope in and handed it to me. I opened it and found the grips.


To say that I was as excited as a puppy in a room full of rubber balls is an understatement.

My wife is use to me getting packages from a Dave, so she gathered up the envelope and the packing and threw it away.

The package had a note in it from Dave. I did the ASSUME thing and shore enuff, it made an *** out of me.

You see I been wheelin' and dealin' and visitin' with Dave Keith about his holsters and gun rigs for quite some time. He has a propensity for sendin' stuff and not takin' credit for it.
When I tried to thank him for the grips, he said he din't know nuthin' about any grips. I thought he was just up to more of his antics.

He had just had a thread on here about an old 44 he had picked up, and he sent me a picture of a set of ivory grips he got from another one the generous members of this forum (This generosity thing is contagious) and I just figgered... Well I figgered wrong.

I got another good friend named Dave here on this forum.

He's Dave McCombie from CA. He goes by Davwingman here.

He's been prairie dog huntin' out on the Carlin ranch and we been chattin' back and forth for some time. He's another guy that is generous to a fault.

I got a couple of e-mails from him the last few days that had me plumb bumfuzzled and bein' denser than an anvil, I din't make the connection.
Sometimes you got to hit a mule between the eyes to git his attention. I think it was the happy pills I'm takin'. It's the onliest excuse I got and I'm gonna ride it to death!!

Well those beautiful grips was from Davwingman Dave and not keith44special Dave from Texas.

Now Texas Dave kinda figgered I was settin' him up for sumthin' so he just played along for while.

I am shocked that anyone would think that of pore ol Iggy!!

Well, eventually them two Daves got together and decided to let me wave out there in the wind for a while and see if I caught on.

Well bein' dumber than a box of rocks, I din't!!

So finally the two of the let me in on it today, and CA Dave just heard me let out a beller of embarrassment clear out there in California.

So I'm standin' here kickin' a dirt clod around and twistin' my Stetson in my hands in embarrassment, and figgerin' how I'm gonna git even with two mighty fine and generous fellers.

CA Dave, as I said in my e-mail, I've got you to thank for the wonderful grips and kickin' me off the fence to get a fancy rig from TX Dave that I can combine with that fine lookin' gun. This will give me somethin' with a wonderful tale to go with it to pass along to my son and grandson someday when I'm through struttin all over Wyoming with it. That tree has your name on it in June.

You two fellers have made this one dang fine and memorable Christmas for an old geezer, and that's "plumb center."

Merry Christmas to you two and all of the rest of this forum.

Regards,
Iggy

I'm proud to belong to a forum that's inhabited by the type of gentlemen that were involved in that story, and a great story it is. My hat's off with respect to all of you.

Well Chip, I have been guilty of having a few friends with the same names before myself. I have several Jims...so many I have to use their last names, and I have been collecting Dougs for about 30 years. Glad you got it worked out.

Well, speaking as another Dave, but one completely uninvolved in this stunt, I'd like to thank the first two Daves for putting some amused and generously intended consternation into Iggy's life. I like his posts and I like his attitudes, and I'm sorry about his knee and I'm glad you two figured out a way to get his mind off it for a while.

Gotta say: beautiful wood. Just gazing at that ought to be worth two happy pills right there.

So I say good for the Daves, and I wish a quick recovery to Iggy.

Suggest you contact Davwingman
He said they were take offs from a gun he traded for. He may have an idea of where they came from.

I have heard it referred to as cowboy colloquialism. However comma, being from southern Wyoming, I suppose we do have more of a drawl than some of our northern neighbors.

Iggy,
I was just curious, no intent to insult. Personally, I think your "cowboy colloquialism" makes for a very interesting read.

W.C.

"Did I ever tell you about Mrs.McCave?
She had 23 sons and she named them all "Dave".
Well she did, and that wasn't a smart thing to do,
You see, when she wants one and calls out "yooo hooo",
"Come into the house, Dave", she doesn't get one;
All 23 Daves of hers come on the run.
...etc"

My apologies to Dr.Sueze, but for some reason, Iggy's post put that into my head and I had to get it outta there. -S2

Hey Pard,

Got word yesterday evenin' that one Good ol' Boy over 'bout Laramie got himself a brand spankin' new shuck...

He might have some of them there cast-offs comin' too


On a lighter note;

One of the hands came limpin' into Headquarters...Somebody asked him why he's a walkin' in.

He says,"Ol' pick-up quit on me."

Thinking he'd just run 'er outta fuel or something er other.

Turned out it was the something er other...
We found her bottom side uppers in the ditch line, all four bald tires just a sunin' themselves.

It had sure nuff quit on him, right there.

Su Amigo,
Dave
