Title: I SHOULDA' called ya a...

The Peach Ice Cream Dude says, as the guffaws and tired laughter fade to a
recurring murmur, "I guess that'll teach ya ta be so damned touchy, eh Bud?"

Sis carefully hands the Bowie knife to Bud, handle first.  He takes it,
sheaths it and snaps the leather strap around the butt of the knife, and
retorts, "Yeah, sometimes my temper takes over and I sorta turn into a jungle
bunny Frankenstein."  He points at L.A. and adds, "Cool that braggadocio of
yours, dude.  Ya gotta be careful who ya start shit with, ya know?"

L.A. shrugs, doesn't look at Bud when he says, "Sure, I'll watch it, but just
as a reminder, BUD, YOU should watch out who you start callin' 'gay-assed',
dig?"

"Yep, maybe, since yer SIS-ter here hadda defend ya, I shoulda called you a
bunch a' ..."

The Peach Ice Cream Dude interrupts,  "Shaddup and drink yer beer, Bud.  You
KNOW we love ya, man!!"**
