The movie is only the half of it.  www.whereAreTheynoo.com will tell you
that Slug Guy lost an epic fight to the Evil Tit, who in turn was felled by
Rather Large Douglas Fir Man, with nick-of-time help from
Sometimes-A-Great-Notion-Man.  Cow Man retired to an assisted living byre in
Florida when Cowboy (and his sidekick Goolies, both from Harney County) rode
into town.
