How's this late entry for the gallery: an Ellery's-eye view of Ennis returning home ready
to get fancy after a hard day at the office!

PS He really has to persuade Ennis to let him buy a new truck!

Love the pic of Ennis and his truck!

Saw this guy on TV tonight - don't know if he's British or what - but thought he has a lovely accent.  He's currently on Desperate Housewives.  Maybe he's distinguished looking enough to be considered for 'Jeeves.'     :-\

This is what he looks like:

We don’t have a picture of skunk piss either but here is some skunk spray. Will that do?




Umm... the only kind of skunk fluid I have in the gallery at the moment is Decaffeinated coffee..
Something tells me this skunk spray will be a little too hardcore for Ellery ..  ;D

Ennis rushes into the house, ready to get riled .. but Ellery is showered and ready to head out to the Red Stallion for some kind of business or other.  He drags Ennis along with him.  They arrive at the bar, Wayne shows up with a camera and starts messing about ..hence ..





Ennis is pouting and sulky because:
(a)  He hates pictures
(b)  Wayne was just eyeing Ellery's derriere in them jeans
(c)  That overpowering wife of the DA has been breathing down his throat at the ranch (literally)
(d)  Ellery is smiling and seems to enjoy posing for Wayne and his stupid-ass camera..
(e)  He'd rather be at home unleashing The Hungry Coyote!

Is Ennis in need of a charm makeover?

Maybe Ellery should consider enrolling Ennis in Charm School, where, according to one charm school curriculum, Ennis would learn:

•   Small talk/ attentive listening. The art of conversation, light banter, use of foreign phrases; eye contact, earnest gazing, unisex eye batting, etc.

•   Formalities.  Impressive introduction, salutations, endearing good-byes, thank-you notes, extending invitations, responding to invitations, etc.

•   How to tell somebody something they'd rather not hear. Practice conversational formula for expressing yourself honestly and respectfully in sticky situations both personal and public.

•   Mastering your world non-verbally. Eye-catching, hand gestures, non-verbal cues, etc. (I can just imagine the hand gestures Ennis would use in class!)

Ennis would be expected to read the prescribed textbook The Art of Civilized Conversation: How to Express Yourself with Grace and Style.

On second thoughts … nah! Love that boy just as he is!

Hmm, what is Ennis up to?
