Peeping 'tom' frightens Deadwood woman

DEADWOOD -- Despite sitting in a hot, bubbling Jacuzzi on her deck Thursday morning, Marlene Todd froze.

She had just eased into in the hot tub a little after 7 a.m. on the deck of her Spring Street home when she heard some rustling beside her.

There was a mountain lion, crouching less than a foot away.

The lion must have been equally surprised. It was cornered somewhat because the deck stairs blocked its retreat. It would have to go up and over the hot tub.

She’s a beauty! But watch those clause.

Har har, Georgie,

You knew I was thinking “girl and jaccuzzi”, you cruel, cruel man.

[444Flyer]

Deadwood...wasn’t that the name of the golf course in Caddyshack?

“Waiting for dinner to get fully cooked?”

Is it soup yet?

[WorkingClassFilth]

Well, there you go. In a high-moisture environment, a stainless wheel gun loaded with sealed primer ammo might have solved that problem handily. Always remember to keep your heater handy in every situation and to obey the rule of the 3-S’s.

Todd said her husband was not home at the time, and she doesn't plan to go near the hot tub without a companion.

She should keep the companion in reach at the side of the hot tub. As in: "Say hello to my little companion!"

Even the most dedicated gun enthusiasts tend to put aside their weapons when they strip down to relax in a hot tub.

Is it soup yet?

I don't think anyone ever told the lion that the watched pot never boils.

Even the most dedicated gun enthusiasts tend to put aside their weapons when they strip down to relax in a hot tub.

Therefore, that is precisely the moment of their greatest weakness - and greatest need. Recently unearthed Soviet documents tend to suggest that communism was behind the promotion or hot tubs in the late 70's via their Hollywood shills in an effort to infiltrate and weaken middle-American morals and to increase chances for a land invasion finding Americans unarmed and ill prepared. Yet another story the MSM deliberately ignores.

Todd immediately cut short her soak and wrapped herself in her wet robe, slipped on her shoes, secured the lid on the hot tub and went inside her house.

WOW...she sure did a heck of a lot more than I would have. I would have run into the house period.

[miele man]

Now don’t you know that she also wrung out her robe first so that water would not drip on her carpet and floors!!

[Farmer Dean]

Feet don’t fail me now!

All this talk reminds me of one of my favorite songs. The words go “The Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of rough and tumble and He is the King of the jungle”. You have to really be aware of that Cat.

She should of yelled out for Sheriff Seth Bullock.

Heck, even Al Swearengen would probably have helped get rid of the beast.

[laterldf]

Hmmmmm: Talk about semi-rare sightings, any Little Tommie Daschle sightings lately? He’s probably still quivering from all that “hate” speech from ElRushbo...

lol, When my cat wants inside, she climbs the tree and peeps in the window and meows real loud. By the time I get to the door, she is right there on the welcome mat waiting.

[El Gato]

Says you, El Gato.

Well, this old cat used to endure Nebraska winters, not much colder than what they have in Deadwood. But I've been in Texas too long, I now sympathize with a Cold Cougar.
