P3D The Showdown that never was...

[Michael Georgoff <Michael_Georgoff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, the Kodak v Realist Quick Draw Showdown never did happen, huh? Hell,
I'm as disappointed as if'n my horse had stomped my Stetson.  Sorry,
boys, the tale has passed into the realm of 3D Poetry legend and lore,
ain't no way to recall the post.  It will live on so long as the Wier's
Mighty Calcite has a hankerin' to host the archives.  And it that ol'
bit bucket fails, may it be passed on in the great oral tradition of 3D
Poetry.

Bob Aldridge, Journalist on the wild 3-D frontier, reported:
>It appears that George T arrived for the showdown with "the wrong
camera"
>and chickened out!!! But I only have this from the mouth of Tom
Deering...

Tom Deering, who, recovering from a-gog'ness, set the record straight:
>Chickened out?  No, no.  I've been misquoted.  I said that George
"declined
>to compete."

I guess that a'fore I saddle up my pony and mosey off into the sunset,
Realist and rhymin' dictionary in my saddlebags, I can offer up a few
more verses:

---

Under Western star-lit skies,
The tale will oft be spun,
The contest never come to pass,
Ain't no-body whut won.

'Round many a smoky campfire,
Where ever 3-D poets meet,
They'll say "George? He din't chicken out!"
"He just de-clined to compete!"

Coulda Kodak beat a Realist,
Now who in tarnation could say?
But I got five bucks on Deering,
We'll just wait until Green Bay.
