This story took place in the spring of 2016.
Tony and I and all of our great Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch volunteers loved the Longmire series on Netflix. In fact, we were all hooked on the show and we could not wait to watch the upcoming Season 5, on Netflix.
Seriously, all of us loved the Longmire show and the fabulous cast so much that we all owned Longmire caps, T-shirts, buttons, mugs, bumper stickers, etc. And also had Craig Johnson’s Longmire books.
And not to brag I actually had been given two autographed Longmire books—thanks to our dear friends Kris & Jim and Sandy & Jon.
Anyway before I go any further with this story, I must tell you that at that time I had recently received an unexpected inheritance and since the money was sort of burning a hole in my pocket, so to speak, I thought it would be fun to make a Longmire video spoof, so I could make Little Debbie, my precious, one-eyed, rescued, Chihuahua more famous than she already was.
So the first thing I did was hire our dear friend, Gerry Olert, The Greatest Video-grapher in Texas, to help video and edit the Longmire spoof for me. Even though there wasn’t even a script written, yet.
And luckily for me, Gerry cut me a really great deal—$300.00. One-fifty upfront and one-fifty when it was done. And I was more than thrilled about it, because it would be the very first time for me to produce and to be a director of a short film!
So the next thing that I did, after hiring Gerry, was to ask our dear friends aka “The Best Dog Walking Volunteers in Texas,” if they would like to be actors in my short movie.
Anyway, a few weeks later the first scenes were shot in one day, at the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, by Lisa and Tony. And please note that the cast members and I made our own costumes to wear, including wigs, alien-attracting-helmets, a deputy uniform and Little Debbie’s adorable wardrobe including her tiny eye-patch.
So the cast members were so excited about the video that they could not wait to finish it and they wanted to do it as soon as possible. But being the producer and the director I had to make a decision and tell them that we had to wait for a few weeks to shoot the final scenes of the spoof with our dear musician friend Chet O’Keefe, at our dear friends Jim & Liz Cravotta’s authentic1880s saloon.
So needless to say, the volunteers were disappointed with my decision to delay the final shooting of Longmire—Texas Style for a few weeks. But after all was said and done it was worth it.
Finally, a few weeks later Chet did return to the rescue ranch. And a few mornings later we all met up, at Big Jim’s & Lady Liz’s Grey Goose Saloon, for Gerry Olert to finish shooting the final scenes of Longmire—Texas Style video spoof.
And after we wrapped it up— Gerry did his awesome editing and I uploaded the short movie to my Cousin Nancy Channel on YouTube. And the rest is now history.

Okay. Now here’s a Cousin Boomer Update for y’all:
Boomer came over yesterday and his left leg and arm were in casts and he was all bruised-up and he was mad. Tony asked him what had happened to him and Boomer told us that he had bought a can of fly spray that was on sale at the grocery store. Then he went home and sprayed it all over himself and then he climbed up on the roof and jumped off—and he did not fly. And after the doctor had patched him up he went back to the grocery store to get a refund, but they wouldn’t let him return it, because it had been on sale.

Now it is My Thought For Today Time And I Have Two to Tell you:
Imagine if you will…An atheist is stuck at a green light, behind a car with a “Honk If You Love Jesus” bumper sticker.
And, Imagine if you will…A world where dogs take bad owners to the Pound.

Okay now it is Make Me Laugh Time!
A man walks into an elevator and there is a beautiful blonde inside the elevator and after the door closes, she looks over at the man and says, “T.G.I.F.”
So he looks at her and says, “S.H.I.T.’’
They go up a few more floors and she looks at the man and says, “T.G.I.F.”
So he looks at her and says, “S.H.I.T.”
When she reaches her floor, she looks at the man again and says,“T.G.I.F means thank goodness it is Friday, duh?”
So he looks at her, and says, "S.H.I.T means sorry honey it's Thursday, dud?”
If you’re happy and you know it—it’s your meds.
A clown held the door for me today—that was such a nice jester.
People are shocked when they find out that I am not a very good electrician.
Now here are a couple of Tony’s jokes:
A blonde is trying to sell her car, but the only problem with it was it had over 400,000 miles on it.
So she was upset, because she couldn’t sell her car, so she went to a bar and she met a woman that was an auto mechanic. And the blonde told her the story about her mileage problem and the lady mechanic said, “I can help you, but it is illegal.”
So the next day the mechanic rolled back the miles on the odometer.
A few days passed and the blonde runs into the mechanic, at the bar, and the mechanic asks the blonde, “So, did you sell your car?”
And the blonde said, “No! I’ve decided to keep it, because it only has 40,000 miles on it!”
A brunette went to the doctor and she told him, “Doctor, I hurt all over. Every where I touch myself I feel pain.”
So the doctor says, “Show me.” So she touches her elbow and screams with pain and then she touches her knee and she screams with pain, again.
So the doctor says, “You’re not really a brunette are you?”
And she replies, “No, I dye my hair. I’m a natural blonde.”
And the doctor says, “Well that explains it then—you’re finger is broken.”
And here is my last joke. A teacher asks a Billy, “If I give you two cats today and then give you four cats tomorrow how many cats do you have?”
Billy says, “Seven cats.”
And the teacher says, “No. Two plus four equals six. You’re wrong.”
And Billy says, “No. You're wrong, because I already have a cat.”
And this concludes this segment of Make Me Laugh Time.
