Alias Smith and Jones Alphabet

B is for Bluff - something the boys sometimes do. And not just when playing poker.

I simply had to use this - given this month's challenge prompt. 

C is for cabin (as in log cabin ~ just imagine a moose head hanging over the fireplace...)

D is for dodge, as the boys do with posses

E is for Easygoing, which describes our boys' nature(s) really well, I think.

F is for Fast, which how the boys often ride out of town. It's also their favorite kind of women.

Oho, Helen.

G is for Guard - something our boys constantly have to be on.

H is for Height  (high ground is good for vantage points or throwing safes from)

I is for Innocent - which our boys happen to be of a lot of crimes blamed on them.

I could also stand for the Innocent look on their faces, which they have perfected.

J is for Jolt ~ they had more than jolt or nasty surprises along the way

K is for Kidnapped, which the Kid gets in How To Rob A Bank...

L is for line shack - a shelter in the open range that our boys need now and then.

M is for the Man who murdered himself.

N is for nasty, like certain sheriff's and bounty hunters.

O is for over-the-top (as in some of their plans)

P is for Promises - the boys tend to keep theirs, unlike certain governors.

Q is for quit - what the posse wouldn't do. The boys didn't quit, either.

R is for Racism - rampant in "Bounty Hunter", but our boys seem immune to it (even though they seem to have a lot of prejudices against Native Americans in Apache Springs)

Well, the time, even in 1971, surrounded them with racist assumptions engrained in the western form. Yet Heyes spoke admiringly of them, you will recall.


S is for slippery, as certain boys were when someone tried to lock them up.

I know, HW. It's sometimes really painful to watch Westerns. 

T is for Trickery. Sometimes the boys have to use it (to get out of trouble), sometimes it's used against them.

U is for uh-oh, which is a phrase the boys needed all too often

V is for Value - the boys place a very high one on their freedom.

W is for wily, as Heyes was in coming up with plans.

I am going to skip (x). After reading a scrabble list for this letter, I would say we have exhausted it in reference to ASJ. So, starting with Y ... yen. We have often seen has with a desperate yen to manipulate a safe

Z, a zest for life and opening a safe
