CODE OF THE WEIRD WEST
1) Live each day like it’s your last, cause it just might be if you cross Orphie.
2) Don’t encourage or pet Rusty’s cat, cause it's actually a skunk.
3) Never make fun of Ol’ Man Pickenpinch’s brownies.
4) Suoq reminds us always say hello.
5) Don’t trust an alien named Jorge in his UFO ten-gallon hat, you may find yourself on another planet.
6) Tumbleweed’s jokes will always be dry and prickly.
7) Ride for the Baron if you want everything to go to him.
8) A hot potato is a baked potato. Just ask Murphy the spud.
9) Remember, some sales are two for one at Dusty's Bordello.
10) Know where to draw the line, always a foot back from where someone spits.

FROM THE CAVE OF RUSTY POTTS
Rusty Potts: I hear yea varmints want to know more about the people about town. Well, let me start by telling you about Knockout Kate. She’s the most sought after girl in town, probably cause there isn’t many. She’s a saloon feature that has no tolerance for her job or her nightly visitors. It’s a real mystery why they keep coming, but somehow they do, but hardly do they leave unscathed. She is seen about town near Madam Dusty’s wearing a corset, feathers in her hair, and high boots.

Pyridines’ Recipe (for disaster)
do not try these at home, unless you use a fully licensed cauldron
Banana-Hammock Bread Ingredients:
1. One very ripe stinky banana-hammock, peeled from your grandpa’s backside. Then pour over top:
2. 1/3 cup melted butter, no pun intended.
3. 6 cups of sugar (believe me you’ll need it).
4. 1 large egg, beat until it says no more.
5. 1 ½ cups of all-purpose stinkweed flour, to bring out the accents.
6. Toss in a black oven on high heat, occasionally flip the ripe banana-hammock.
7. Take out while pinching nose. Let cool.
8. Then remove the banana-hammock bread from the pan and slice with an axe to serve or remove as you now have a clean pair of undergarments.

About a year ago I started colorizing Old West photos. Mostly American frontier photographs that were taken between 1860 and 1910. I’ve been doing this as a hobby, but it has brought about good results. This can all be found on Instagram as @old_west_in_color or in a search in Facebook as Old West in Color.
