The Flying McCoys by Glenn McCoy and Gary McCoy for March 24, 2024

I know. Our marketing guy helped pack a U-Haul and he tied a trucker’s hitch.

Be afrayed.

Knots to him.

Knot helping.

Dave should show Bernice his knot-tying merit badge

The train seems pretty excited about those knots too!

“In an 1867 Victorian stage melodrama called Under The Gaslight. The play’s stage directions call for one of the characters (named Snorkey) to be tied to the train tracks by the villain. It’s close to the scene we’re familiar with save for the fact that the person on the tracks is a man, and he’s saved by the leading lady.

This sort of train-based peril became a regular element of the melodramas as a cheap and easy way to create suspense. Moving into the early-20th century, and the silent film era, many films took their cues from those same 19th-century stage dramas. One of the more famous examples of this type of story was the serial The Perils of Pauline, which saw the titular heroine encounter all kinds of scoundrels and villains each week, who would put her in life-threatening danger—although it is important to note that she was never tied to the railroad tracks."

Wait till he shows the photos at the next K.A.N. A. meeting. (Knot Aficionados of North America)

The real Ted Lasso.

She’s tied up ON the tracks, not tied TO the tracks. The Mounty could just pick her up and move away from the tracks. Then, before releasing her, he could mount her. I probably should write screenplays, right?

And the bad guy gets a two-fer.

I guess Snidely Whiplash is wringing his hands in delight off-stage left.

Dudley and Nell?

“Am I gonna save you? Frayed knot.”

That wooo woooo is truely going down hill. If it was uphill it would be a choo choo.

I could save you, but what’s in it for me?

It’s time for Jones to come along, slow-walkin’, slow-talkin Jones.

I don’t believe in forced yoga. :)

Bernice…she’s a cut above all the rest!

Is this Dudley Do-Right’s almost smarter brother?
