Reality and imagination come together for the adventures of a man, a recliner, a dog, a bunch of farm animals and their guests at Yahoo Farm.

The year is 1986. Mr. Bobbie, President of The Bank of The World for Bankruptcies and Liquidations plots the demise of the Lazy Dude recliner factory and his imagined rival Lazy Dude Quality Control Inspector, Cosmo Curley, in order to gain the affections of the most perfect Miss Flower Patch. After a couple of near death experiences Mr. Bobbie’s plans come to fruition and the Lazy Dude factory is shut down. Cosmo loses his job, his house is eminent domained for the creation of a dog park, Miss Flower Patch gets her promotion and leaves for NYC with Mr. Bobbie. Cosmo receives a CONGRATULATIONS OCCUPANT! white postcard, has an epiphany and decides to go to Idaho. He gets hopelessly lost and stops at the turn off to Yahoo Farm.

Zeke Mann, the Official Representative for Yahoo Farm, checks the mailbox and takes out a CONGRATULATIONS OCCUPANT! white postcard. Cosmo asks Zeke for directions to Idaho. Zeke gets in the pickup and points up the road to Yahoo Farm, “Go that way.” They happen upon Rock Dog asleep in the road dreaming about Jim Dandy Dog Food. They all arrive at Yahoo Farm. Cosmo has a deja vu experience, “I’ve been here before.” Zeke introduces Cosmo to all the farm animals as they meet, greet and feed. He invites the hungry Cosmo to dinner. The best meal ever. They retire to their Lazy Dude recliners and revel in the spectacular night sky and the modulations of Moonie the Cow. Cosmo decides to stay and help at the farm for awhile. Everything is out of this world, way cool. Zeke asks Cosmo to open a small wooden box. He opens the box and takes out an old rolled up piece of paper and reads,”Whomever signs this document is the Official Representative for Yahoo Farm.” He starts unrolling the endless paper. Zeke,”Infinity is a long time. You just have to decide to be at the end.” Cosmo decides to be at the end. Beside each signature is an encryption. Zeke,“That’s universe, galaxy, solar system, planet and genetic code.” Cosmo takes the pen shaped rotating shaft of prismatic light from the box and his encryption and name is added to the paper. Zeke,” Congratulations! You are now the Official Representative for Yahoo Farm.” Come morning Zeke and his Lazy Dude are gone. Cosmo relishes his new occupation.

He takes the sledge pulled by Horse and Horse to the mailbox, puts his letter to Miss Flower Patch and the CONGRATULATIONS OCCUPANT! white postcard in the mailbox. A station wagon flies by, makes a u-turn and pulls up beside the 2 Percheron draft horses. The horses release volumes of farts that fill the wagon and everyone piles out. Many pictures are taken and a good time is had by all. Realizing it was almost 11:00 and brunch time with Uncle Gus the mirthful Kimballs hurriedly pile back in the station wagon. Cosmo,”I’m sure you’ll get there right on time.” He checks the mailbox. The mail is gone.

Back at the farm he shows Rock Dog a picture in the magazine, it’s the Kimballs. The sound of a squealing fan belt approaches. The squealing station wagon stops in the yard. They look at the faces peering from the wagon and then at the magazine. It is the Killabrew family!”Way!!” Cosmo, Rock Dog and the farm animals converge on the hapless family.
