Git Along Lil HubNugget
75
It's vacation season, and the HubNugget team headed out west for a good old fashioned Nugget drive. We rustled you up some prime Nuggets, and drove 'em clear across the open range and onto Hubpages. Wild Bill...err...Shirley Anderson drove the chuck wagon while the rest of us kept them doggies headin' west, fer the big HubNugget Roundup.
Now that the 20 mule team has been bedded down fer the week, and the Nuggets is all penned up, you cowpokes get to take the reins. I'm fixin' to introduce y'all to the team, and show you some grade A Nuggets on the hoof. All you need to do is read and vote fer your favorite wordslinger. I reckon that's just about it, so git to readin', ya varmints! The wannabes are over yonder, waitin' fer ya!
Meet The Outlaws
Ryan "Mad Dog" Hupfer (Hup, to you 'n' me) is wanted fer general mayhem, and excessive communicatin' of awesomeness. He's also the guy who sends out that there newsletter every dad-gum week, with the winnin' Nuggets in it.
Wild Shirley Anderson is the Jesse James to our Hole In The Wall Gang. I guess she's watcha call the ring leader. The Marshalls recently spotted her tippin' cows, just north of the border (the Canadian border, that is), and she lit out like a coyote with a tick in its ear. We aint really seen hyde nor hair of her, since.
ProCW don't get no wanted poster; him bein' the local Marshall, and all. He's off with his posse, lookin for Wild Shirley. He means to give her what fer, over that cow tippin' business. Don't you worry, though. If there's one thing I know, it's how to run interference with the law. He won't catch up with Shirley if'n I can help it.
"Yosemite" Patty Inglish is wanted fer Nugget rustlin', and has been convicted on numerous counts of gravy traffickin'. There have been rumors that she was buildin' a gravy cannon, so she should be considered armed and dangerous.
Now I know y'all think Ripplemaker is some kind of angel, but her secret synergy leveragin' empire has made her pretty gosh darned powerful. If she moseys on over and tells you to vote for one of these here Nuggets, you'd best listen!
I've been called a mean, low-down rattlesnake, but really I prefer to go by the name of Hop-along. I'm runnin' this week's HubNugget shindig, and I sure would appreciate it if y'all would place your votes, so I don't need to hop along to your place, to persuade you!

Pretty funny stuff - reminds me of our road trips when I was around your age (just a few years ago.... well, a few years and a few decades ago). Keep writing! I will be interested to see who makes it out in one piece. xxoo Alex
I know I say this almost every week. But, seriously there are some EXCELLENT hubs this week in particular. They've all been read and now I enter into my stage of pondering. Like the theme, brings back the Oklahoma girl in me.
Alright, decision was made. Vote is in. LOVED the nuggets this week. I truly enjoyed them.
It's great to see a few of the hubbers that I'm familiar up there but it makes it that much harder to choose on which one of these guys will get my vote! Awesome nominations by the way! I'm making my decision right now!
It was a hard choice, but I've voted! :D
Well I am totally embarrassed to be nominated with my sub par hub...I had no idea about this sort of thing and now I really feel I have to step it up LOL! I have far more interesting hubs then this one!
I truly enjoyed them
I´ll get all those rewards very soon... you can run but you can hide LOL.
Love you all :)

And I see that marshall Funride is on the case, now! Well you don't scare me none, old friend. I'll be right here when you're ready to draw down on me. I'm loadin' my squirt gun right now, and I 'spect you won't be collectin' no rewards!
Good stuff as always, but I managed to find a favorite!
awesome group of hubs here, it was hard to narrow it down to one!
Wellll, doggies! Just got back from my nightly cow tippin' and found this treat. Mighty fine job, BT.
I done voted but then I seen that sheriff Funride is hot on the trail, so I'd best high-tail it outta here. I'll be back when it's safe.
Best o' luck with this here nugget round up!
I hopped right on over to that thar poll, got myself a fav-oh-rite nugget and voted fer it.
Tippin' my hat to ya, BT. Those nuggets are plum good!
Thanks fer votin', everyone! Shirley and Herald, it looks like you just got yer votes in under the wire! Iffin you look straight up, you'll notice that I added the winnin' nuggets, just above yer head. Yippy-ki-yay!

Patty Inglish, MS Level 7 Commenter 2 years ago
Well, ya don't git no finer than this. A passel of prime HubNuggets Wannabes at the end of a long trail of their plannin' and writin' and ourn roundin' 'em up. It was a dadburn long trail drive, but worth every cloud of dust - an' I miss them chuck wagon good eats already.
I guess'n' I'd best get over to the Hotel Fire Water, hose off the dust and hoof prints, and set down to peruse some golly-b-durn good readin' with dinner. Tarnation! - It's gonna be hard to pick just one. I got plenty o' time, howsomever, since I've got t' wait me on a delivery of nice shiny new cannon parts...
