No Blondes. I can't believe Daryl wanted to eat Buttons (stupid name for a a horse, I agree. I think they just pencilled it into the script expecting to substitute it later and then forgot to do that.)
Anyway, Daryl had a bond with Buttons, however brief. Buttons was no possum. He was going to be Daryl's *
Remember how he said something like: 'You used to belong to somebody but now you're just your own.'?
Oh, God, I'm welling up.
But you're right on the logistics about towing a dead horse back to town.
My friend was travelling in the Outback in Australia where there are a lot of feral camels. I don't know why they're there. It was was obviously something that seemed like a good idea at the time like cane toads and child immigation and the enforced replacement of mixed race children.
A huge truck had hit one and killed it. If had been a car the driver would have been killed. The driver was scratching his head when Neal came along to help.
They decided that leaving it in the middle of the road would be dangerous to anyone who came upon it in the dark.
So they fixed a tow-rope round its neck. Its head came off.
They got it off the road eventually by tying the rope under its armpits, but it was so heavy that it took them ages to do.
- I've just listened to the lyrics of that Roy Rogers song. He had issues.
