the sound: <\/strong>Marc Broussard \u2013 Everybody Dies<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Marc Broussard \u2013 Come in from the Cold<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Marc Broussard – Home <\/strong><\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/strong>Things went well for a couple of hours until we heard from the far side of the field near the unmistakable sound of BarnYard\u2019s voice howling at the moon a la Zappa \u201cYippee ti o Ti Ay!\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of the next hour or two BarnYard would skulk around in the bushes along the outskirts of the property and every few minutes would howl at the top of his lungs: \u201cYippee ti o Ti Ay!\u201d Each time from a completely different area of the farm.<\/p>\n

The first couple of times it was funny. After a while it just became tedious.<\/p>\n

I watched as Robert and Grey began to argue about BarnYard\u2019s mental capacities and was able to eavesdrop long enough to realize that Grey blamed Robert\u2019s drug operation for Grey being \u201cnot quite right in the head\u201d. Robert\u2019s response was that Barnyard (Barry) had never been right in the head so it really didn\u2019t matter what he let BarnYard do.<\/p>\n

Over the course of time the argument became more ridiculous and more and more heated. The eternal spat between siblings and it would not have surprised me at all for one of them to utter the words “ya well mom loved you more than she loved me” or “you were always the golden child” like a 9 year old.<\/p>\n

Ever the astute observer I glanced up from a reprieve in the arguing to see that most everyone had left the fire but for myself, Rosie and her brothers.<\/p>\n

The silence was punctuated with the sound of a gun being drawn.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrap! Here we go again\u201d I thought\u2026closely followed by \u201cdo you think they\u2019ll notice if I just get up and meander over behind that big tree?\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert sat with the drawn pistol in one hand and the ever present bottle of Jack in the other. Grey was sipping a coke. Grey looked grim and leaned over and called Robert a \u201cmama\u2019s boy\u201d just as BarnYard howled \u201cYippee ti o Ti Ay!\u201d from the bushes to our left.<\/p>\n

Robert snapped around and fired a round at the bushes.<\/p>\n

I held my breath.<\/p>\n

Grey jumped up and slapped Robert\u2019s hand that held the gun with such vehemence it rocked the big man in his chair.<\/p>\n

Robert dropped the bottle of Jack smashing it on the ground.<\/p>\n

Rosie stood as if undecided what to do.<\/p>\n

Robert rose and stood facing Grey slowly bringing the firearm up between him and his brother.<\/p>\n

\u201cthat\u2019s the last time\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cnot likely\u201d was Grey\u2019s reply.<\/p>\n

I caught a streak of movement out of the corner of my eye and realized that it was BarnYard streaking across the field. He was buck nekid, high stepping and screaming at the top of his lungs.<\/p>\n

Everyone around the field turned to look at him and he reached Robert shrieking….. \u201cBobby, Bobby, ya fucker\u2026YA SHOT ME IN THE ASS!\u201d before he collapsed on the ground between Robert and Grey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
