[bunniefuu]

[Music]

oh hello there glad you could stop by I'm Clark Wayne a Storyteller it's a

perfect night for a story don't you think the story is set on the Big River

but yes the Mississippi River from the woods of northern Minnesota to New Orleans they say a drop of water that

falls into Lake Itasca way up here we'll be in the Gulf of Mexico 90 days later

of course most people like to get down the river a little quicker than that this is a story about just such a fella

and it's at it oh we're gonna have to take a little trip down the old River ourselves hello shuttle

not a soul out here at night we should have the river all to ourselves

oh the mighty Mississippi it's flowing strong and wide just me and you in an

old canoe with a trusty Indian guide yeah I'm a trusty Indian guy

Native American did you say something

gotta take a chance by the vitamins [Applause]

you must be a slumber party trip on the Mississippi gonna take a

little trippy on mighty Mississippi gonna take a trip on the Mississippi on mighty Mississippi the mighty

Mississippi it's flowing strong and wide it's just me and you in an old canoe

with a trusty Indian oh I'm sorry with my trusty Native American guys

[Applause]

[Music] this is where our story starts

Timber [Music] the ensund lumber camp that's Mr Dooley

himself he was in the tree removal business in fact duly had a way of

removing anything or anyone who numbered in his way get it Lumber

better Harder Faster it's a beat sake no singing

oh we're having a bit of trouble with this big one call Big Jim

now Otto

Big Jim strong as an oxen twice as tall struck fear into anyone that laid eyes

on him he was so tough he could do I know you oh don't mind me I'm just

the narrator okie dokie get a move on Big Jim I'm not

paying you to stand around all day actually you're not paying him at all oh

yeah that's right isn't it unlike the other loggers Big Jim was not

an employee of Julian's son's Inc but five years ago he was caught in Elk River Minnesota with 1100 pounds of

stolen turkey jerky as the sole witness Mr Dooley testified

against Jim in court the gym didn't go to prison he was however sentenced to

three years of community service at of all places a duty and Sons Lumber camp

good work big gym here have some jerky

yeah Mr Dooley there's been an accident what happened it's Silverstein he got a

splinter a splinter heart there's no much time oh

hey you there keep an eye on Big Jim there are times when fate reaches down

and grabs you by the lapels this was one of those times the logger in question

Steve was not the sharpest blade in The Sawmill or what Dooley said was keep an

eye on Big Jim what Steve heard was please run into town and get me a strawberry smoothie

which is exactly what he did for Big Jim The Cookie of opportunity

was clearly on the table he grabbed it

oh where's Big Jim hey why didn't you stop him oh I'm the

narrator I'm not supposed to get involved I know

[Music]

everybody

[Music]

was that your dog barking ah no that was Steve he likes to bark when we Chase

things [Music]

[Music]

[Applause] [Music]

well that's just great [Music] together

[Music]

not every day on the Mississippi was quite so exciting nor every situation so

wrath with turmoil [Music] I take this scene for example

that their green fella is Larry I though most folks just call him a hook

and the red guy is tomato Sawyer most folks just call him Tom since well

Tomatoes seems a little obvious these two happy Bachelors are homesteading

what's Homestead well oh and the U.S government settled the West they cut it into little pieces of land called

homesteads now if you could live on a piece of land for five years without starving or

getting run off by bears the government would give it to you these fellas been living on their

homesteads for four years 362 days yep come Friday just three days away this

land will be theirs three more days Huck and this land will be ours our dreams are coming true can I

borrow some more Nails sure thing they're in my tent behind the record collection once I own this land and finish my theme

park I'll be selling tickets in turkey jerky to all the jerky loving folks on the riverboats I'm gonna call it turkey

land Mr jerky will be my mascot yeah I've been meaning to talk to you about

that where'd you say the nails were behind all the records now before MP3

players there were circular vinyl discs called oh forget it you and your obscure music

Bobby Roberts and his happy monkey Mama Belle and little Jimmy Mama Belle and

little uni are not obscure they sold over a million albums before little Yumi disappeared five years ago huh you know

a Huck the theme park business is very Capital intensive it's hard to make any money in it I'm not in it for the money

Tom it's the action right hey have you thought any more

about joining me in my new business there's a lot of action in tax preparation

I still don't know what that is well I'm gonna help people prepare their Federal Tax Returns each year it's very

complicated but I've got a good head for numbers I'm sure you could pick it up too

could you give me a hand sure always glad to help a friend you

know there isn't a single tax preparer on the Mississippi anywhere between Minnesota and New Orleans the market is

wide open what the Tomato may have missed in his business plan is that this

is 1904. and the federal income tax will not be established until 1913. for the

next nine years he will in fact have the market all to himself what he will not have

I could tell him this but as the narrator technically speaking I'm not supposed to get involved

who's that guy I think it was Colonel Sanders really

[Music] what oh that's Steve he likes to bark

we're looking for a man a dangerous man have you seen him

wrong poster no I don't think so well think harder he

tore up a factory with his bare hands and he's headed your way and this is a signal flare if you see

him set this off and we'll come running why did he tear up the factory he was

looking for something what turkey jerky

[Music] what are we going to do now we're going

to Muscatine we've got to get back to Camp the boys won't know what to do without us

but I want to help little yimi too I've got news for you I didn't hurt

little yummy I'm not the one who sent him up the river away from his mama I didn't hurt him so I shouldn't have to

wants us to do I'm gonna make sure Little yimi finds his mama [Music]

telegram is on its way and here is your ten dollars for train fare
