Expedition to Earth

The Lunar Colonies were barely self-sufficient when a devastating nuclear exchange between major powers on planet Earth wiped out all communications with terrestrial sites. Two hundred years have passed. All attempts to reestablish radio communications with Earth have been futile, but the Colonies have finally built up enough heavy industry to construct their own spaceships. Now, at long last, an expedition to the home planet is about to be launched.

The Good, the Bad, and the Forgiven

Imagine a man who is a cross between a typical Southern Baptist minister and a typical Louis Lamour hero, and you’ll probably arrive at a pretty fair approximation of Eli Helmsman, the protagonist in this gritty but theologically infused western. Eli never went looking for violence, but he was bold to speak the truth as he saw it, and so sometimes violent men went looking for him . . . and more often than not, they ended up in boot hill.

A Cowboy in Modernopoli

Join a stereotypical cowboy and his canny sidekick for a rollicking adventure through the Modernopoli—a loose federation of city states where the premodern tendency to personify objects of worship has persisted into modern times. In Natropolis, every citizen knows that Random Chance is the only god and Darwin is his prophet. In Materiopolis, people put off their shoes from their feet because plush carpet is a sacred thing that must be kept holy and unblemished if they are to please their goddess, Norma. Dietopolis has become a war zone as heretical factions disregard the rulings of the Food Court. The people of Hygienopolis faithfully heed the holy Call to Shower five times every day. And in Vironopolis, the only honorable way to manipulate your environment is through a kind of telekinetic meditation called Viron-Mentalism.

All in all, this allegorical tall tale is perhaps best understood as a cross between Pilgrim's Progress and The Beverly Hillbillies: It spins a lighthearted and often satirically comical narrative about a clash of cultures, where a little cowboy common sense—and a good six-shooter—are generally enough to extricate the protagonists from the bizarre predicaments that tend to befall them in every idolatrous city-state. But beneath the lighthearted banter, it begs a serious question: Would I be found worshipping at any of the myriad altars in these cities? Has any of their idolatry taken root in my heart, or in my community?

Idaho Pattern Bandannas

As demonstrated on the show, bandannas have any number of uses. Worn around the neck, they can keep your collar from chaffing. Worn around the face, they can help to filter sawdust out of your breathing space, or help to deflect powder burn from the pan flash of certain muzzleloaders. They can be used as a hankerchief or a bandage if needed.When Tim the Idahoan discovered that there was a special Texas pattern bandanna, but not an Idaho pattern, he decided to change that, and this was the result.

These bandannas are available for sale on ebay.

Rifling Buttons, Other Memorabilia, and Assorted Surplus

Occasionally various materials from the Idahoan Show come up for sale. These are most often sold on ebay through Atomic Rifling and Creative Operations LLC.
