Hickory

Today's story and sketch "by me" is at the "EBRA" check point #84 which is

the home Hickory Farm Moon Pies. The first thing you will notice are the

Race Blimps as they are gliding over the Hickory Farm Galaxy Headquarters,

and home of Calvin Gofish and his wife 143 Earth Years Sloshy, you see Calvin

at the bottom of the sketch piloting a B&R Super Glider. Let's start the

History of Hickory Moon Pies at the beginning, and that would be when Calvin

crash landed a Lippo company Intergalactic Transporter full of Chickapoo

Berries, (known today as Hickory Nuts), Calvin had the transporter in a low

auto orbit while he was taking a nap. When it glided into the center of a

Tornado, it was to late to do anything but to take the pilots pre crash safety procedure, so he closed his big eyes tight, pulled down the pilot seat scatter blanket, put his head between his knees and hoped he would live. Which you

know he did because he is in today's story.

He was in route to make a Chickapoo Berry delivery to a Martian Goat Herder

in Beirut, (Goats are on of the only animals

that can digest whole Chickapoo Berries). After the fire burned out,

(the crash caused a small twenty acre fire, the transporters outer super hot

surface caused the tall dry grass and brush to burn).

The first looky Loo Earthling to the site was Sloshy, a Catawaban Maiden and

her tribes Smoke Signal Interpreter, she being first on the crash site,

helped the injured little grey alien Calvin to a nearby cave where she gave

him first aid, as best she could having never seen an alien with crash trauma. Calvin's injuries were a few bruises and stress from

knowing he was on a strange Planet without a job. After a few days he could

communicate with Sloshy, they unloaded the Chickapoo Berries and his Moon

Pie Supply. Sloshy figured out how to crack the Berries (Hickory Nuts) and to

make Calvin's favorite lunch pies with them, she planted hundreds more which grew

wonderfully in the rich North Carolina soil, they fell in love got married and

had lots of offspring. Sloshy developed the Hickory Nut Butter Cream Moon Pies,

and are a favorite all across the Galaxy, until next time taa ta the Rod Blog
