WHEN....Stef and Gretta called.

"Ok--Ok-- but I want my derby hat and pipe. If we are gonna do it, we are gonna do it right." said Bob
"Elementary, my dear Bob." said Sherlock Grrr.
The two pals proceeded  to the  site of the mystery.
"Hum" said Sherlock Grrr, taking out his glass and examining the ice box.
"What do you think Grrr ?" asked Bob.
"Not enough data yet my dear chap, it is a captial mistake to theorize with out data. Still we can say....

Sherlock Rex part ll Watson

Putting on his deerstalker hat, Grrr said "This calls for Sherlock Rex." Said Grrr.
"Hum..I need a watson. " said Grrr to himself.
Going over to the Library he called his friend Bob.
As Bob came out of the library he saw Grrr with the deerstalker hat and a magnifying glass in his claw. 
""What is up pal?" Bob asked
Explaining about the missing root beer Grrr said "The game is afoot."
"Look pal, the store is right down the street. I will buy ya a couple of cases. This is stupid. I don't wanna be watson." complained Bob.
"Who was it who had the kids read Holmes aloud in Reading Class for 24 years?..Who showed all those Holmes films while I was minding my own business sitting on the desk? Who always said "Watson was smart?"  asked Grrr..

Sherlock Rex

Grrr came home after a hard day at "The Wellness Center" and walked into his cave. Tossing his keys on the table and reaching for the "Clicker" he turned on the TV and reached into the icebox for a cold root-beer.
not finding any, Grrr said "That is odd, I know I put a few in there this morning." With an mildly annoyed snap of his mighty tail, he went into the garage for some. His reserve supply was GONE.
Gretta and Stef were at the mall and he knew that they did not drink rootbeer anyway.
 Bob was at the library the kids were not home.
Hummm "The Case of the Missing Root Beer."
Putting on his deerstalker hat, Grrr said "This calls for Sherlock Rex."

Tex Rex part 6

"Worse, I called Bruce the Shark!" said Grrr with an evil T-Rex grin.
"That must have been interesting " replied Bob.
Pard. Ya'll know Bruce?" Tex asked Bob.
"Sure, I met him a few years ago on a cruise Stef and I took with Grrr and Gretta. I know that he is a big shot in the movie business among other things and a very fair and decent being. I do not think he would like a friend of Grrr's  or anyone for that matter to be cheated." said Bob.
"Bruce has been in the Business a while and knows everyone, when he calls folks in the Business listen. Well, Next morning the producer called me in and had this new contract; I got star billing, 10% of the gross, a big raise, mah own trailer. Fellas said that they were fixin to talk to me bout this but this was the first chance. Found out later that Bruce had had a powwow with them". said Tex with a grin. 
"Well, I finished the flick, paid mah bills and as Bruce suggested put half in a computer stock and such. Now? Well still doing a bit of actin, but old Ringo and me a'int worried about things any more.
I was fixen to visit some kin in the swamp and figured that might be nice to see mah pard Grrr.
Turned out even better as I made a new pard." Said a happy Tex

Tex Rex part V

"Well, now the big fella",Tex resumed,  pointing   at Grrr," called me and asked me if I would do him a favor and consider the part, which if ya'all consider that  he was a "name" after JP, was a  mighty kind way of him puttin it. Any way, I went down and was just expectin some extra work, a walk on a bit of roarin, that sort of thing. But the Big fella who was to play the Aztec Rex had a contract dispute, the producer and director were on a very tight shoot schedule and asked if I would fill in. They used some trick camada work to make me look like a big rex. Well Now after a few days Grrr calls to say howdy and as we were talking about the  new part  Grrr asked if they adjusted my contract as I was now playin the starin role. Well I said I just trust that they do right by me."  Tex stopped to take a drink of his sweet tea.
"You are too trustin Shorty. Ole Ape, they were still paying him as an "extra'" walk on no roaring parts.
Basic scale. Well we Rex gotta stick together."
"So did you go jurassic on them pal ?" asked Bob.
"Worse, I called Bruce the Shark!" said Grrr with an evil T-Rex grin.

"Well now as I recall the phone rang and the big young fella there", pointing to Grrr, "was on the other end...".  said Tex Rex.
"Well, now let me go back a ways. I had been makin pictures for a spell, bit parts, y'all see that mostly they were lookin for the big fellas but I did ok, King Kong paid for mah spread in the hills and there was "Mighty Joe Young" and a few others but by 2005, well, Cowboys and Dino movies were sorta past..unlessen ya'all wanted to be an anti-hero and i just don't cotton to that. Younkers both dino and human go to those movies and Ah of the mind that ya'all go a duty to teach young'uns right. 
Ah, not opposed to playin the wild rex, honest huntin and eaten is what rex do alter all. So I had a few parts in "Lost world" type film, it was the Duke who fixed me up on the 1,000,000 B.C. cave man movie. A bit of TV Saturday Night movie work. Sifi channel. Even did some Japanese movies with Godzilla and Rodan.
Still, gotta say that things was a mit spare when Grrr called. He had become a Class-dino by then, that Pard, I gotta say  that made all of us Rex proud."  "Wasn't nothing." said a modest and a bit embarrassed Grrr. "Blame this ole ape." he said pointing at Bob. 
 "Not so, The kids loved him and Gretta. In fact they still ask for him and her." replied Bob
"Well, now the big fella",Tex resumed,  pointing   at Grrr," called me and asked me if I would do him a favor and consider the part, which if ya'all consider that  he was a "name" after JP, was a  mighty kind way of him puttin it. Any way I went down and....."

"Ringo?"said Grrr with a happy roar upon seeing the grazing triceratops.
"Shorty,Where are you old friend?" roared Grrr.
"In here pard." replied Tex.
Grrr came charging in and the two Rex touched claws in friendship.
"Buddy welcome. You been telling those Texan tall tales again?" said Grrr with a happy grin.
"Nope. Tales are not tall, just that anything out side of Texas is small." said a happy Tex.
"I was fixin to tell mah new pard bout "Aztec Rex." said Tex.
"Go to pal." said a happy Grrr. Turning to Bob, "I just fix the parts he gets wrong! That is, if you guys ever get done admiring guns."
"Now pard, somethings are worth admiring. Bob, Y'all like rifles Bob? I've got the nicest ole Winchaster on Ringo that y'all ever did see."
"I do." replied Bob. "I am a Mauser man and...."
"Don't get this guy  started on Mausers." said a happy Grrr.
"We could go to the range later but you were telling how you met this ole reptile?"
replied Bob.
"Yep" said Tex. rolling a cigarette.  "Y'all mind?" asked Tex.
"Nope only guys here." said Bob and Grrr.

"There is something about a 45. " Bob said looking at Tex's peacemaker.
"Sure enough is.' said Tex. "I was raised on the revolver and being a Cowboy..well y'all but I do admire the 1911 have a few at home. not saying ah agin the 9mm, like them too. But the .45 is the American gun.
"True'  said Bob.

Tex Rex part lll

"So how did you and Grrr meet? asked Bob
"Well now as Ah recall I  was were makin a film done in Mexico. The Duke called me and..."
"The Duke!!!!" You knew John Wayne?" asked Bob
With a happy t-rex grin, Tex replied. " Pard, back then we all knew each other. Roy Rogers, Jay Silverheels, Gene Autry, Hopalong..Hollywood is a not a community it is a collection of communities and in the Cowboy Community we all knew each other and looked out for eachother. Now Ah not sayin that we did not fight for a good part but if there was a part that was right for a pard but not you. why y'all just naturally passed the word." Ah was filling in on a teenage monster flick, when the Duke came over to mah place, had a small place in the hills, got it with mah King Kong pay, not much but a place to keep Ringo and set up a small shootin range, ya'all understand that times a fella just got to go shootin?"
"Yes, one of the nice things about Cali was the shooting ranges" replied Bob. "I was a member of the old Inland fish and game range for over 20 years" agreed Bob.
Unloading one of his colt peacemaker .45s, Tex handed it to Bob to admire and Bob, dropping the mag and checking the chamber  passed over his 1911 to Tex.

Asked the Nano-T-Rex riding the triceratops.

"Nice to meet you Tex. Can I get anything for your Triceratops?"
"Some water and if yo'all have any grass ole Ringo be right happy."
"I just mowed the lawn, would new cutting do? Asked bob.
"Ringo will be your friend for life Sur."
Wiping  off his boots and taking off his cowboy hat as they went into the house. Y'all mind if I hang my irons here?" Asked Tex.
Please be my guest." I was admiring them. You don't see a lot of single action Colt Army 45s around here."
"You have an interest in such sur?" asked Tex.
"I do indeed sir. Firearms are a life long hobby and your Colts are a work of art."
Would you care for a burger and some Rootbeer?" asked Bob.
"Now I know that you are a pard of Grrr's.  He does love his root beer. But if you have some sweet tea?"
"Of course sir." Pouring Tex a  large class and passing over a bronto burger."
As they eate the two guys talked of Grrr. Bob told Tex how he had met Grrr when Grrr became a class dino and Tex spoke of how they had met when Grrr and he had been in movies together.
