Body Pile

Posted by Brixtone on Tuesday, August 5, 2003

The Ravenshield crew continues its losing streak against the terrorists occupying the private airport in Somethingtown. Our last excursion started strong with a new strategy: stealthily lying face down in a pool of blood. This fooled the enemy into thinking we’d eaten MRE’s filled with glass rendering us harmless.

Hope This is Not Chris’ Blood

Despite our best efforts and painful glass chewing, the entire outing ended in heartbreak as we shot a terrorist in a Hawaiian shirt who in turn sat on the head of undercover special agent Slim Goodbody.

We’ve failed this mission roughly 40 times now and we’ve been forced to call in the last line of defense:

Chuck Connors (The Rifleman) and “Tiny” Jeb Wilkins

With their help and an endless supply of ammunition/explosives, we can defeat these Russian/Japanese/Columbian oppressors and move on to better days. More to follow…

Little known facts about Chuck Connors:
a. An unbelievable athlete (drafted by the Celtics in the ’60’s)
b. A better filthy, philandering plantation owner in the epic mini-series Roots than the rifle-toting good guy in The Rifleman (I do however, admit being impressed every time that events forced Chuck to bring out the rifle and slap down some two-bit black bart, shifty cowboy-gone-bad, or the ever-present soulless drifter)

Loved “Tiny” Wilkins when he played the sheriff in that other classic western - Blazing Saddles.

Is it me or does “The Rifleman” look a lot like Sammy Davis, Jr. Plus, I don’t like the way he’s holding that rifle.

Actually, Chuck Connors has loaned his rifle to Jeb in this picture. He’s the guy with the pistol. And yes, Jeb does look very much like Sammy. I think this calls for some more research.
