Ride 'Em Cow...Horse?
From the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed,
And my cheeks ain't tanned,
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow,
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how,
Sure ain't a'fixin' t'start in now,
Yippy-I-Oh-Ki-Ay,
Yippy-I-Oh-Ki-Ay.
Here is a My Little Pony fanfiction of mine, which is based on the comic "Pizen Springs Dude Ranch" from the Donald Duck compilation, Lost in the Andes. In this story, Applejack's family ranch has been plagued by a cattle rustler; Rainbow Dash and the little Cutie Mark Crusaders assist by looking after the ranch while she's away, but this rustler is much trickier than first anticipated, and keeps getting the jump on Dash! When push comes to shove, it may be up to the kids to save the day. Please enjoy!
BTW, here's a picture of the cattle rustler pony in and out of her disguise. Pathetic though her disguise may seem, she still somehow manages to trick Dash every time.
"Hmm, I see a lot of horses, but I don't see any thieves." (I couldn't resist. :-D)

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the third in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. In this story, which is a nod to the movie Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, a technical malfunction with Strudel's time machine sends the Pound Puppies and their kitty pals back to 1959; while trying to figure out how to get home again, they meet some new friends, try to foil a villain's plan to steal the artifact that provides Puppy Power, and contend with a mysterious creature in the woods. Please enjoy!
BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:
The Pound Puppies in their '50s garb. Lucky's outfit mirrors that of Cooler in the movie, only with the colors reversed, and Cookie's is similar to that of Charlemange.
The Kennel Kittens in their '50s outfits. Squeak's garb very much conveys his tough persona.
The Super Secret Pup Club in their '50s clothes. Cupcake's outfit is a color swap of Brighteyes' outfit in the movie, and Patches' outfit is a color swap of Whopper's.
Sparky, who in the present day helps Strudel with her time machine; like his friend Mr. Nut Nut, he's also not completely all there.
Niblet's girlfriend Giblet(Who first appeared in the episode, "When Niblet met Giblet.") in her present day outfit and somewhat simplified '50s outfit. Like her boyfriend, she also is not completely all there.
Twiggy(Who first appeared in the episode, "Taboo.") gives the group a guided tour of the pound and the museum when they first arrive in the '50s. Barlow(Who first appeared in the episode, "Barlow.") is quite lackadaisical, but also very polite.
Prince(Who first appeared in the episode, "Fright at the Museum.") is the resident "smart one" at this new pound. His appearance is a combination of those of Howler and Hairball in the movie.
Bobo, Chauncey, and Camellia(The former two of whom first appeared in the episode, "Once a Ralph, Always a Ralph," and the latter first appeared in the episode, "There's Something About Camellia.") are three pups whom the Pup Club quickly befriend. Bobo is a cheerful, energetic little fellow, Chauncey is a polite, classy sort, and Camellia is friendly and amiable, but likes to imitate people(Though this trait of hers might come in handy later...)
Miss Petunia the mama Golden Retriever, and her three little puppy children(Who frst appeared in the episode, "Pound Preemies; I added the name Lulu.) She's similar to Colette, the mother dog from the movie, in both looks and personality.
Luke and Maddie, the two Tammy and Jeff-esque teenagers who run the new pound.
Martin McEvil, this story's Marvin McNasty-esque villain who plans to steal the Rosetta Bone, which enables Puppy Power, and take over the world.
McEvil's hopelessly inadequate(And ironically named) henchmen, Slim and Jumbo. Their appearances are based on those of two certain dognappers, and their personalities mirror those of Lumpy and Bones, McNasty's henchmen; Slim's appearance is also based slightly on that of Lloyd the dogcatcher from Disney's Bolt.*
And last but by no means least is the Saspooch. Similar to Big Paw, this legendary creature was said to have guarded the Rosetta Bone in ancient Egypt. However, he's said to only be a myth...or is he?
*More on that movie later...

Joke of the Week #81
A long time ago, in medieval England, two knights, one tall and one short, are riding out into the mountains to battle a dragon. As they reach the outside of the dragon's cave, the short knight turns to his associate and says, "I'm going in after the dragon. You just wait out here in case he comes out."
"Sure thing." the tall knight obliges, upon which the short knight disembarks his horse and traipses inside.
After wandering through the darkness for a few minutes, the short knight hears a loud rumbling roar and looks up to see the dragon, smoke pouring from his nostrils, staring him right in the face. "Say," the short knight says. "I'll be that I can prove to you that dragons don't exist."
"All right." the beast agrees, upon which the short knight takes a pocket dictionary out of a pocket in his armor and hands it to the dragon. The dragon puts on his reading glasses and pores over the dictionary, "Hmm, alligators, apes, armadillos...bats, beagles, bears...ferrets, frogs, foxes...geckos, giraffes, gorillas...lemmings, lemurs, llamas...newts, nightingales, nutrias...opossums, ostriches, otters...skunks, snakes, sparrows...tigers, toads, turtles...walruses, whales, wolves...zebras, zebus, zorillas. Nope, no dragons." And with that, the dragon disappears in a puff of smoke.
As the short knight leaves the cave he's greeted by his associate, who's pleased to see him unharmed. "How did you ever defeat that awful dragon?"
"Oh, wasn't a big deal, really, I just proved to him that dragon's don't exist. By the way, could we stop by the local pet store on our way home? I promised my wife a phoenix for her birthday."

Funny Video Showcase: The Saddest Inanimate Objects In The World
Giving new meaning to the term, "Objects of Amusement", this video showcases photos of several inanimate objects which appear to have sad faces, set, appropriately enough, to a humorous rap/ hip-hop song. Please enjoy!
Poor things, they look like they could use a hug...on second thought, considering that two of said items are a cactus and a rock respectively, that probably wouldn't be such a good idea after all! Maybe just some encouraging words?

Joke of the Week #80
Sam: "Excuse me, but why doesn't that antelope have any antlers?"
Zookeeper: "There are many reasons why an antelope might not have antlers. Some grow antlers late in life, others might lose them in a fight, and then there are certain species that simply aren't supposed to have antlers. This antelope doesn't have antlers because it's a donkey."

Life's a Circus for Whopper
Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction of mine, which is based on this Tom and Jerry cartoon, and is named after this Tom and Jerry cartoon. In this story, Whopper is chased around a local circus by the dogcatcher Dabney Nabbit, until he meets a kindly elephant named Jumbo, and helps remove a tack from her foot. Jumbo is duly grateful for this, and in return for Whopper's kindness, protects him from the ever persistant Nabbit. Please enjoy!
BTW, here is a picture of Jumbo. She's a very gentle sort, but when her friends are in danger, she won't back down for a second!
