Aunt Jen Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Ok, all. I hate to have to say this, but it's time to quit lolligagging (?) around this saloon, 'planin' 'bout jes 'bout everything from the dog house to the price of gold, so it's time for us to do something about it. We're gonna have to rob the bank. Here's my plan: We have a quick snort, git up out of these chairs, ride over to the bank, have Deja hold the horses out front. Put on our bandanas. Then go in, draw our guns, and BMC will holler, "Stick 'em up!" (Good dog.) Everyone will put their hands up, but there won't be enough in the till. Thankfully, Utah has brought some dynamite, so we blow the safe—we DO NOT LET BUTCH DO IT. We'll put the people inside on their honor not to tell the sheriff who done it, and we'll ride away fast right back here to the saloon and pretend it never happened. But lets be reasonable about this: No whoopin' and hollerin' on the way back here; it'll give us away. Okay! That's a good gang! I'll have some cold drinks here waiting for you!
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Deja works in the bank ..... is this gonna be an "inside" job ???....
Aunt Jen Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Deja works in the bank ..... is this gonna be an "inside" job ???.... Well, the money is inside the bank, so I guess it's an inside job. However, I thought Deja should be outside so she'd be more anonymous. Does that work? Or, Deja, would you prefer to switch with someone else?
Apache Hawk 60642 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 AJ is not goin' wif us ? Why not ? Dis is startin to smell fishy to me !
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Well, if we're carrying gold or so much money that it's going to be ultra heavy, I've got the pack mules. Between my whole string, we could probably pack out a little over 600 pounds. Hmmm...with the price of gold today, that would be....????? Uh, I'm not sure, but I think all of us would be fairly well-to-do.
Aunt Jen Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Yes, I think the mules would come in handy. No. I've had to sacrifice my own enjoyment to stay behind and miss the fun, so I could be ready to serve refreshments on your return. But don't worry. I'm sure you'll be successful and steal a lot of money for us all. You're heroes. You see not the world as it is but as it should be. "...to dream, the impossible dream..." Uh, wait: You know, I know we're in a saloon, but in what town? If this is Rock Ridge, then I'm leaving now. If this is Deadwood, then I'll forgo the cards. If this is Tombstone, then I'll stay away from the coral, but I'll go ahead and help you all rob the bank and play cards....
Grizzly Dave Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'd love to help, but me 'n Hawk is kinda busy right now over in the Circuit Preacher thread.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm in!!! I need retirement $$$$, how 'bout I man the gattling gun?? Rye
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Deja works in the bank ..... is this gonna be an "inside" job ???.... We'll pick a different bank. As some famous Russky said, "You don't poop where you eat."

Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I've got this crazy immage of Deja holding a string of mule outside of the bank and a bunch of SASS cowboys running out the front door with sacks of money and armloads of gold bars. That'd cornfuuus the police real gud. They'd probably be wirting Deja a ticked for the mule poop on the street as the cowboys ( & cowgirsl) came out of the bank. Someone want to write a screenplay . . . we can film it at White Horse Ranch this winter.
Richard Threebars, SASS #35671 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Yes, I think the mules would come in handy.

Seein' this is Toostone mebbe we should have a round o' #4's an' rethunk this. Bottles, set us up, por favor. R3B
Dusty Morningwood Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Well, I recently learned that bank robberies by women are up by 6% over last year.
Whiskey Business Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 But lets be reasonable about this: No whoopin' and hollerin' on the way back here; it'll give us away. I'm guessin shootin our guns in air is outta the question.
The O'Meara Himself Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 OK, lemme see now, that'd be ah...that's 600 times 16 times 1700, that would be um...ah...carry the one...um...and two zeroes...um...Can anybody in the gang do ciphers? The O'Meara Himself
Denver Don Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm in!!! I need retirement $$$$, how 'bout I man the gattling gun?? Rye With out Firing a shot ... just the site of a Gattling Gun has been know to stop even the meanest posse .....
Aunt Jen Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Ok. We're having a little schizo-time here, so I'll have to explain better: it's the 1800s, and Deja doesn't work at the bank yet, so its okay to rob it. There's only one bank in town, and there are no police. There's only a Sheriff. The reason I asked about what town this is, is because it will tell me who that sheriff is. If it's Rock Ridge, then it's Sheriff Bart. If it's Silverado, then it has Denehy as sheriff, and we'd have to give him a cut of the take. I was suggesting you guys go over there, rob it, and bring the money back here to the saloon where I'll wait for you If you keep the explosions to a minimum, then no one will know we did it; the town is full of cowboys. Ifn you don't want to do that, then we could consider robbing the stage after it leaves town, but the bank probably has more money in it. Ideas?
Grizzly Dave Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I'm guessin shootin our guns in air is outta the question. I reckon that would be seen as 'a round over the berm' and would get us a MDQ.
Richard Threebars, SASS #35671 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I reckon that would be seen as 'a round over the berm' and would get us a MDQ. If'n we shoots straight up they won't go over the berm. (Not ta be splittin' hairs or anythin') R3B
Aunt Jen Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 I guess it all depends on what kind of bank robbery you guys want. I'd imagined a sneak robbery where you bring the money back to the Saloon. But you could have one where you shoot all kinds of things, let Butch Cassidy blow the safe all to kingdom come, ride like a #6 wiht all the whoopin' and a hollerin'—but then you'll have to either give the sheriff a cut of the take, or ride out of town fast with the loot. And what ever you're gonna do, hurry up! Because gold is tanking today. So what do you want to do?
Denver Don Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 nooooo if ya let Butch blow the safe there wont be any money .....
Whiskey Business Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I reckon that would be seen as 'a round over the berm' and would get us a MDQ. We's lookin at hard time in Yuma, an yourn werried bout a dang MDQ?
Grizzly Dave Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I say lets ride on over to that big spread out south, you know the one, that robber cattle baron what has been pushing all the other outfits out by hook and by crook. We'll stampede their cattle and then rob the main house.

How dare he! Now, that ain't neighborly. But ifn you rustle his cows, how will you bring them all back to the saloon?
