Maybe if you is give him a little shake, his stuffing will redistribute, and he’ll be dog shaped again.

Somebody took a good sized bite out of that castle. Those steps have seen better days too.

It look just fine from ground level. I think I’ll pass on those steps.

Jesse James was a nasty piece of work.

Don’t buy the partially self-created and dime-novel-selling myth that he was any kind of folk hero.

He never shared anything or sympathized with the poor.

He was a Confederacy supporter who briefly rode with Quantrill’s Raiders, a strong proponent of slavery and segregation, who killed as many Union soldiers or sympathizers as he could.

He shot members of his own gang that he suspected of anything.

For all his crimes and all the gangs he rode with, including leading his own for several years, he was still only 34 years old when he was shot and killed.

Trivia: His father was a minister and educator who kept slaves. His wife was his first cousin: she and his mother were both named Zerelda.

Reward, because he’s wanted forROBBERY of….
…be aware that this man is a cold blooded killer.” It’s OK that he killed, just be aware of it. It’d be OK, it seems, if he stuck with killing, but robbery, well that’s going too far.

I think it’s because the reward is being offered in connection with a specific crime, so this poster has to focus on that crime.

Sometimes the rewards were actually paid by banks or stagecoach companies, or several such together, and they don’t pay unless he’s convicted of robbing them.

He’s probably also wanted for murder, but there might be a different or no reward for turning him in for that..

And a separate federal WANTED poster.

Convicted. “Dead or alive”

Yes.

It has been known to be a slippery way to get out of paying a reward. Not always, but sometimes.

You catch him and turn him in.

He’s hanged for murder, say, by a federal court, and never convicted by the state of the robbery.

The bank won’t pay.

But dead people have also been tried and convicted of crimes.

The old west made its own laws.

What we call rock and roll wasn’t around yet, but that’s only because nobody credited Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, or Clyde McPhatter with playing music that a few years later, they’d play on American Bandstand, and we would label it rock.

Yeah, I’d be carrying a spare cap too, just in case.

Or maybe two.

Couldn’t get #16 because I’d never heard of the last term.

It took a while to get the last one, even after seeing the answers. I couldn’t do anything with “BAM“. My answer (a real stretch) was “boo”. I figured you say “boo” behind someone’s back to scare them, bamboo, is a material, and ghosts in graveyards say “boo”.

Of course, if the word is “BARN“, not “BAM” it changes everything. I didn’t catch my error until I saw Susan’s answers and thought about it.

#17

“____car”
But I like Susan’s answer better.

I thought of the same thing at first but then

I thought….
Cars use gas, but police and trains don’t.

There are police cars and train cars but no such thing as a gas car.

So there’s no relationship all 3 have in common with “car”.
