  • Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, ain’t that what they say? But what happens when it’s also a woman doing the scorning? And what happens if that hell is just El Paso, Texas? One helluva girl fight, that’s what! Join me as we take a look at Old West Madam Fat Alice Abbot and the fight she got into with rival, Etta Clark. This episode has a little bit of everything. Listener discretion is advised! #wildwest #history #western

    Women still get their faces cut up in that game. I've been clean 15 years, but I was once a soiled dove, too. I am the luckiest girl I know, to be able to walk free under the sun today.

    When you were talking about how often they would bath it reminded me of back in the 90s I had just got my pilot's license and usually I ran towboats on the Mississippi River in the New Orleans area and I had a friend who owned a crew boat company. On my days off I would go and run his boats to help him out. Ships sometimes would be on anchorage for weeks at a time and " working" girls would need a ride out to the ships mostly foreign flag ships that the hands had to stay aboard while in port . We would run these girls out to the ships and they usually would stay aboard 3-4 days at a time or until the money ran out. Anyways you could let them ride inside the cabin on the way out due to cold winds and what not but you would always make them stay outside on the stern when it was time to bring them back..I can't tell you if they showered or not during this time but after 3-4 days of " working " I can tell you they smelled pretty rank!! Yeah....I just got a flashback...it was bad!!! So I could imagine what it was like back then.....it would take a bigger man than me to indulge in that!!! Good job as always man!! 👍

    Baz outlaw. His slip gun was very interesting. started Life as a Colt Single Action Army. Barrel cut down. trigger removed and the trigger guard was cut to look like a trigger. As a way to make the gun easier to hold onto. And for those who don't know what a slip gun is. there's no trigger you just operate the hammer pull it all the way back and just let go. Cheers

    Btw, I dated a girl who was 6'1", about 190 pounds, with an hourglass figure. Topside she looked like she was carrying 2 basketballs in her shirt. She reminded me of Wonder Woman. She was smoking hot. I'm 6'2" , 200 pounds. Trust me when I say fat is something she was not. And I have to say "the bigger the foopa, the tastier the chalupa" is the best thing I've heard in a long time.

    El Paso, Feelena and El Paso City are a three part of the El Paso song trilogy by Marty Robbins. Feelena was about the Mexican temptress from her viewpoint in song. El Paso City is the relationship between the singer and cowboy. El Paso, the song, was the only one played.

    Looked up the photo album. Pretty disturbing how young two of the girls look. Tragic. Only chance a lot of these women have of getting sober is when in jail. But I would agree on finding a better way to get all people back on the right track that does not involve arrest and jail time. Listening to the history of many of the outlaws, they were very young when trouble started. Seems we are handling troubled young men the way we always have and with the same results.

So who knows how big ( over weight) she acually was.
