Gordy The Spy - A Story By...........You!

[Borderstone]

Gordy Footloose had spent years in the spy game,but on this day he encountered a mission like no other mission he had been on before. Gordy had reported to the deserted parking garage in mid-town Albequrque at 1/2 past 3am,as had been directed by his superior Rogues Ta'Ttoo! He was instucted to find a green 1977 Chevy Van that had a manilla envelope with his next assignment inside.
After searching for nearly 30 minutes he found it! Oddly enough in space #1977! (His boss had a tacky sense of humor! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
He opened the van with the keys he had been given by a contact and checked the glove compartment. No luck. He checked under the seats. Yet again. Finally,he flipped down the visor and there it was. He removed the paper clips and tore open the end. He could not believe what he had been assinged to undertake! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif His mission was....(To be cont. below).

His mission was quite simple.. Take the 300.$ in the envelope to a music store and buy a half decent acoustic guitar.Proceed to Arizona with the guitar and find the dude that answers to Borderstone.Give Him the guitar and advise Him to take up a new hobby...
The End

[Borderstone]

At least I tried to contibute something a heck of a lot more worthwhile than being a sarcastic,cynic! If you don't have anything positive to say or contribute then just don't type anything Iron. You know,I'm really sick and tired of certain people putting out they're negative attitude on here.
If you don't dig what's up here then don't respond to it. People say the purpose of this is to have fun and communicate but every now and then someone has to put something up here that's some kind of negative comment. Thank you so friggin' much for taking my post and wasting it! I don't understand why you have to be like that or anyone else.
Did you ever stop to consider others who might have wanted to contribute to the thread? No,you didn't. You just chime in with some insipid comment and have the nerve to basically say "I" post wasteful words?

This is not my hobby,it's just something fun to do. Excuse the heck out of me if I like to post here. I make no apologies for the content,style or length of my messages and once again,if you don't like it then leave it be and read something else. Wheather you meant it for kidding or not,it was a very arrogant and childish thing to do.

Speaking of wasting space,I've wasted enough just letting off steam so,LATER! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Wow???

Oooh, B! I am awful at this, I sat here for about 20 min. and couldn't think of a thing.

Borderstone, during my brief time on this planet I have learned one thing. To get through this life you need to develop skin like a pachyderm.

As Gordon would say, Just let it ride

The End, or so he thought, but he soon found out that after he did that, he would half to find an even harder target, a teenage boy who's initials were DMD3, who was also trying to learn to play the guitar, the hard way! Then finally he decided to do himself a favor and go find the guy who called him self Iron and try to take HIM up on a new hobby over his old one, replying to negative posts.

next...

So DMD3 and the B set out on their quest. They traveled the country, looking for the elusive Iron, the 'hater of useless words'. They finally found him with Watchman, in the long thin dawn, camped next to a lazy river where peaceful waters flow. Watchman and Iron had breakfast roasting on a spit... a half dozen yellow canaries garnished in wild strawberries. Watchman said, "Sit down young strangers. We'll slide on over and share our breakfast with you." As they were sitting around the fire, after having finished off a bottle of Blackberry Wine and trying in vain to figure out how to play High and Dry on the guitar, lo and behold, who floats around the bend in the water in a canary yellow canoe? Right I knew you'd guess. The minstrel of the dawn, Gordon Lightfoot. Gord, and his female companion, an English teacher (her name was Anne, but I'll be damned if I recall her face), where desperately bailing water, as their canoe was made out of knotty pine and a knot hole had fallen out. They were essentially two drifters on a passing ship, floating along where ever the long river flows. DMD3, who had a reputation as a brave mountaineer, climbed out on a tree too weak to stand that was precariously dangling over the river, and threw Gord a lifeline. After several attempts, Gord caught it and DMD3 said, "If you've got it, tie it to the canoe. DMD3 ran over and tied his end of the lifeline to his little Shetland pony. "Whoa! Giddy-up, Annabell!" The pony just stood there, feasting on the leaves of grass. DMD smacked her on the rump, 'Hey you, get movin'! Watchman wandered over and asked what the problem was. DMD3 cried, "My pony won't go!"

next?....

[TheWatchman]

Watchman asked Lightfoot if he knew anything about ponies and Lightfoot told DMD to take it easy, "always on the brightside son, always on the brightside". DMD wanted to know what the meaning was behind that but Lightfoot had a mouth full of canary and continued to savor the treat, forgetting about DMD's request.

Watchman walked over to the pony and told DMD to calm down. DMD replied "I can't man, I'm on my second cup of coffee and I still can't face the day. Watchman said " I know how you feel, I'm bent but not broken and all I need is some rest but we must get this pony movin' if your to reach the Cherokee Bend by nightfall." DMD said "Okay, I offer you an apology, do you accept?" "Sure, replied Watchman, now go shake the cobwebs and dust from your head and get focused my friend."

In the meantime, Watchman went and sat next to the fire while Lightfoot was unbelievably still eating canary. Watchman asked Lightfoot what inspired him most to write and Lightfoot lifted a leg and let loose with one. Watchman gulped in disgust and Lightfoot said "Hey, take it easy fella. It's just a message to the wind." Watchman quickly replied "Well it sure aint no bells of the evening!"

Watchman looked over at Ann, and although most cannot recall such a face, he could. She reminded him of an old trapper that went by the name of Uncle Toad.

The silence was broken when Lighftoot jumped to his feet and yelled "You young idiot! Throw her a lifeline! Throw her the rope DMD! Lightfoot forgot to inform the others that there was yet another person in the canoe. It was Rebecca, sound asleep, moaning and wheezing like a baby.

Apparantly DMD forgot to secure the canoe and the current started to take it back out to stream. Although they were peaceful waters, daylight was fading away and the chance of losing the only canoe was good. When sundown came, the canoe had floated safely to the other side of the river. But how would they cross the river to get it? How could they fix the hole before it sank? Would Rebecca be spared?

[Borderstone]

I have read the story related posts and they're very good. I'm using what thick skin to let the others ride. Not much else to say except,good job story writers. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Peace! (Please?) http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif

Lightfoot said, probably having snuck away to a local church, it being Sunday and all. "Nice touch 'B' and may peace be with you". But let me wrap up this visit by sharing an old Chinese proverb that I heard while travelling with Al the Watchman in, of all places, China. "If you sit by the river long enough, eventually the body of your enemy will float by". Oh, and I'd like to tell you what the mission really is but as they say "then I'd have to kill you" he winked as he said this and slipped away..... again.
