From the land of the Bluenose....this post comes with an optional soundtrack for those inclined. Turn your speakers on and open this link in a different window and enjoy.....................


Mother Earth was cold. Her tears had frozen upon her bosom. From the sky a light dusting of crystallized snow fell upon her with the softness of an eagle feather falling.

The two hunters paid homage to Mother Earth speaking the chant handed down from generation to generation;
Hookah honka hookah
No hotel, motel nor Holiday Inn
Snooze you lose
Win you grin.


Navy Davy clothed himself in the traditional cloth of his tribe calling upon his manitou and became the spirit of "Ice Bear with White Beard" of the clan of Ice Flow Jumpers.

The Bluenoser wearing the sign of his tribe then called upon his animal spirit and became "Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness."

A cold wind reminded the hunters that it would not be in a time too far away that all time would be spent in their lodges telling stories. Telling of past glory and hunts to be remembered in song.

Plunging his edged weapon deep in the chest of Mother Earth Ice Bear with White Beard eased her burden , a copper disk which could be traded , once more were had, for fire water. Fire water! The maker of dreams that no one can catch.

Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness followed in the tracks of his spirit brother Birdman who had long ago gone, to the Happy Hunting Grounds and taught the then young hunter the way of the grid. Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness looked skyward for the sign. A sign given that the Birdman did approve. The sun glanced out from behind the dark cloud, smiled and the was seen no more.

Pockets became full and bellies became empty. The two hunters. Cold. Fingers frozen at the tips called a pow wow. The grand council decided. Horseless steeds were mounted and Tim's was besieged. A wellness stirred in the two hunters. A sign. More hunting needed to be done to appease the spirits long gone and not forgotten. A new hunting area marked by the white man who gives out trinkets. A false spirit to the hunters. A white man's spirit who comes from the sky pulled by beasts not of this world.

The hunters rejoiced. Sacred quotas had been had.

Ice Bear with White Beard...47 tokens of thanks from Mother Earth.

Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness..eye of cat, and 69 @ $4.10 in the white man's land. More towards boarding the iron bird that flies across the great waters.

Once back at the camp a visit was made to the lodge of the medicine man, "Speaks to Trees" who was driving evil spirits from the one that bore Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness. His squaw "Yes Deer" gives comfort. Sorrow settles in.

Leslie,

This one still has me laughing. We're under 6 inches of snow in NB right now, and it's coming your way. :tongue3:

Good hunt guys, you're brave :)
 

warning ice bear tribe. thou hast angered the snow

god by pilfering his treasures.

every token of his earth is a sacred relic unto the sun.

knowest thou not that we must preserve every vestigal

relic for future study in detail in case of great wars.

and all knowledge being lost.

that key may be the key to the sky gods domain.

since thou hast disturbed it thow may not ride the

iron bird in safety.

mother earth is bleeding yes, from the grevious wounds

inflicted by your metal instruments. tearing at her heart.

certain disaster may only be avoided by the sacred ritual

of taking the ill gotten loot plus any earlier finds that

have not been spent on burning sticks or firewater.

and sending them to scrounger d detector collector.

also thou must swear never again to desecrate my lands.

as a mighty oath thou must make. never again to wiggle

the uncouth wands of searching .they too must be carefully

wrapped and sent to the scrounger.

because scrounger is a student of life all items that have fallen

into my bosom must be left undisturbed for only he has

my blessing to find them.

I HAVE SPOKEN .GO AND DO AS I BID YOU. DO NOT ANGER ME

WITH DOUBT OR QUESTIONS.

for I THE GREAT SPIRIT HAVE COMMANDED.

i even know the formula fo mcDs special sauce.
 

Leslie, I enjoyed the very poetic and entertaining write up as usual. Tennessee feels like the "land of the bluenose today". Hunt while you can Bud. HH, Quindy.
 

Outstanding post Les, enjoyed it! 12" of the finest white snow lay at my feet and shovel. HH, Mike
 

"Laughing Weasel who Drinks Guinness" <---- should become your official Tnet signature!
