The Deer Show Peril -- Day Two

[Gita]

Stump Shiner walks through a corridor of milling hunters/shoppers at the Buckmasters Whitetail Deer Expo eating nachos from a cardboard boat and accidentally lets a plume of melted cheese fall on the carpet.

The next passerby, a woman in a rhinestone studded shirt and strappy sandals, slide-steps twice on the cheese blob before regaining her balance and walking on.

Then, a boy of ten, whose mother buys his clothes in Target’s “Chunky Kids” department, backs away from a display of deer skulls to take a photo with his phone. In so doing, he spreads the cheese in an orange-ish swath across the corridor.

Now the cheese has smear-travelled from its original pool in the southbound lane of foot traffic into the northbound lane, just as the governor of the great state of  Alabama himself, Robert Bentley, approaches the spot.

He is saved, however, by his advanceman, a flatfooted bodyguard named Trey, who picks up the cheese (now mixed with sufficient carpet fibers to develop some tack) in the tread of his size twelve Rockports and carries it home to his interested dog.

 

** some of the above really happened.

You know cheese/cheez always catches my attention. That was delighful. Stump makes it easy to love him,

because he doesn't have a clue.

[Jenny Darlington]

That is one wicked blob of cheese!

[Bill Floyd]

"Cheese hazard," I love it.  

[Joey Delgado]

I like how you followed the drop of nacho cheese instead of stump shiner. I love how it almost felled a governor. The detail is amazing: rhinestone studded shirts, slide-stepping, and Rockports!! I was there!

@ Lapham: That's all you have to say?

 

[Jared Handley]

There's a great state in Bama now? AND nachos! I'm moving back!

This six was nachos with fixins. Well did, gurr.

@Teresa: yes, you must kiss Gov. Bentley. When you come in October I will arrange it. Mandatory.

@Angela, oh no, that was by far not the most disgusting thing I saw.

love the smear-travelled and the plume.  can picture this.  and love how it transpired till it ended up with the dog at home.  your thought process here is to be marveled at!

[Angela]

So interesting how one zones in on the most disgusting thing around, like that one drop of watery snot on the tip of someone's nose.  Only this was funny.  Hang in there.
