A tribute to one of our finest.... Calamity Jane

I thought that was beautiful -- an excellent representation of Jane.

Until I watched that movie I had never truly understood how much Jane means to me.

She... she... she has made me a complete man.

And I owe her so much for that.

This is one of my favorite photographs of Jane...



How many of you recognize Walter Hinteler? Yes, that is him behind Jane.

I remember the day I took the photo. I had been walking down the streets of Deadwood, looking for a woman who would be willing to perform tricks on me for the pocketful of coins that I had, when I heard a voice.

"Hey...you! You big strong German-looking dude with the pitchfork, why don't you join me for a beer?

I looked up and found her to be quite attractive but was a bit unnerved by the presence of Walter.


"Who's that?", I asked.

Jane looked at Walter, then at me, and said, "Ah... Walter. He is here for our amusement. He will sing and dance as you fulfill your carnal desires. So... are you willing to spend the fifty cents or not?"

I decided to spend the money and Jane was all she promised to be, but the dancing gyrations of Walter at the foot of the bed and his screeching voice, trying to resemble something even remotely similar to singing, was a big disconcerting and caused me to lose concentration as Jane's spurs dug into my thighs and urged me on.

Friggin Walter.

Why the hell did he have to be there?

Gustavratzenhofer;

Imade a trip to Deadwood this past summer and it was hot as hell so I stopped into the ,"Big Dick Saloon" for a cold beer. Sitting next to me at the bar was a woman in her senior years and next to her was an elderly gentelman named Walter.

Walter told me that he dos not sing and dance anymore but now he plays the Jews Harb in tempo with the thrust strokes of Janes clients.

Walter also said that he often receives request to play the Star Spangled Banner...

What?

I leave the house for a few hours and what happens?
He stabs me right in the back! Wait until Walter gets a hold of you!

Well I am getting out the heavy equipment now.

Thanks, CJ. I hope that helps.

Gus,Calamity Jane and Walter ;

I did not mean to hurt anyones feeling with my make beleive trip to Deadwood for I was just looking for a smile for a smile warms my heart,which then makes my sleep very restful.

Joe, this particular group here is used to toying with each other, and
we can take a lot of kidding around, so don't you worry, no one is
offended or hurt, on the contrary, right gustav and Walter?

I can confirm this, Joe, but CJ wasn't really willing to do this to me until I reached the coveted "Seasoned member" status.

It is a highly enjoyable pastime for those of us on A2K who have earned this privilege, but I would advise that you start saving for new batteries now, if you are of a mind to join in one day.

And I'm not so sure being a "veteran" is all that special. Some of us old soldiers are hard to get rid of.

That's not true, Spanky! I was one of the first ones to learn of your
affinity towards kitchen gadgets and reassured you that you're not
a kinky pervert. And remember the apron-only game, where a bare tush was a invite requirement? Didn't I supply you with an entire lashing of wooden spoons, ha?

Well actually you're a "guru in training" now, cicerone, and I for one
am glad we can't get rid of you (despite the occasional forced absence :wink: )

What can I add which isn't said already?

(Wouldn't make a lot difference, though, since no-one understands me.)
