Javelina Alert!

Just Wednesday evening a small herd of Javelinas was spotted near the Javelina Cantina! Apparently in search of the delicious Javelina Tunas which are now in season, the Javelinas, when encountered by Miss Nickel and her deaf and blind dog Tikey, were displaying very territorial behaviour. They had to be forced to retreat by strong-arm tactics by the pistol-packing human; namely hurling bad words at them.

They retreated, only to return with a few more of their friends. The second run was successfully thwarted by the hurling of small rocks and yelling additional scathing oaths. When the Javelina herd heard the terrible things being said about them, they ran away grunting and snorting about unfair tactics, being that they are rather thin-skinned when it comes to insults.

This true story was related to your Hostess with the Mostess, Miss Rosie by none other than Miss Nickel herself. Though armed with a .357 Magnum with hollow-point loads, Miss Nickel declined to use it on the Javelina. As she related the story in her famous Alabama drawl, "Hail, iff'n I had shot one of them little buggers, we'd have splattered pig from here to Allen Street!

We applaud Miss Nickel's discretion and bravery, and we hope that she will be able to join the upcoming Hunt, bein' as how she's Tombstone's local cyber-wrangler. YEE HAW!
