Drabble Challenge: no-account, flap-jacks, light a shuck, yellow-belly

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

As an added Holiday bonus for the Americans among us, I tossed in the Fourth of July!



"Damn no-account, yellow-bellied, horny-toad-eating snakes!"

"What's up, Heyes?"

Heyes tossed the magazine he'd traded for to the ground. "There's a recipe for flap-jacks in here -- and some low-life went and ripped it out!"

The Kid hid his grin with a hand. Since Heyes had discovered cooking was like planning a robbery, he'd been trying to rustle up new recipes to try.

"It's OK, Heyes. I like the old flap-jacks."

Heyes gave him a glare. "These were red, white, and blue, Kid! Fourth of July'!." He picked up the magazine. "Hell, let's just light a shuck and see some fireworks."

Cute! Heyes cooking makes me smile. Thanks.

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

I just imagine him as the cook -- something about recipes and planning.

Cute litle story! I enjoyed it. :)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I liked your icon *smirks*

Did you make the base because if you did, I'll credit you on my Userpic Page

[lightning070]

Yes I did make the base. :) Screen captured and cropped it myself. Don't got the program or experties for more fancy stuff. Yeah, I would like that you gave credit to me. :)

LOL! Too cute! :)
Most of fanon, me included seem to have Heyes as a bad cook. But I quite like your take. 4th of July noted and appreciated. ;)
Thanks. :D

There's really no way of knowing. Nowhere in canon is there any mention of either of them cooking or making coffee or anything that I can remember ... *stares thoughtfully at DVD collection* ... of course it could be in one of the Roger Davis episodes ...

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

No, there's a hint in the Pete episodes. I'm not exactly sure which episode, though I think it's the one with the "lady typewriter."

There's a brief scene where Kid seems disgusted by Heyes' coffee, and possibly his food, though I think it was just his coffee, which was then extended by fandom to include that Heyes isn't a very good cook. :-D

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

OK I have now rewatched that scene enough to be able to say with confidence:

Kid: You make these beans?

Jim: I made 'em. Make the best beans around.

Heyes: *throws coffee onto ground* You should taste your coffee!

Jim: It ain't bad neither

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Ah, then it's definitely not that! So either I remember incorrectly, and it was a different episode, or there is no canon about Heyes cooking and/ or coffee making abilities....

Thanks! :)

cooking was like planning a robbery is a very good idea. I guess sometimes it's the chef who dunnit.

I'm sure Kid appreciates it. Hope it helps with the coffee, too.

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

I dunno if either of them can make decent coffee -- I don't think the subject ever came up on the show at all, either.

[laurose8.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the bad coffee must be fanon, then.

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

I got no idea, really -- I should research this topic, shouldn't I?? *eyes DVD collection speculatively*

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

As in the above, I've found one scene where Heyes and the Kid ridicule someone else's cooking and coffee ... still looking *cue maniacal laugher* Like I need an excuse to watch the show again

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Maybe could ask on one of the forums. Hm....

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

'K, I asked on the http://www.asjcollection.com/board/.

[hutchynstarsk.livejournal.com]

Answer I got was Hadleyburg. Not a direct reference. Kid just sounds derrogatory...all in the inflection...when he mentions living on this and that...and Heyes' coffee. I checked and it's about 6 1/2 minutes in. :)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

YAY for forums!!! So we know Heyes makes lousy coffee ...

[anxiousalien.livejournal.com]

very nice :)

[velyrhorde.livejournal.com]

Thank you ... because we all KNOW that it's July 4th every three months in Smith-and-Jones Land

[anxiousalien.livejournal.com]

of course :)
