Hello, outlaws and in-laws, and welcome to the (more than likely) final resting spot of none other than that famous Western ne'er-do-well, Jesse James. For those of you who've never seen the episode of "The Brady Bunch" that tells Jesse's life story, it goes something like this: In 1886, Jesse and his brother Frank became the leaders of a gang of outlaws, where they spent their ample down time knocking off banks and the occasional train or two. Alas, Jesse and his boys had their fun for a while, until one royally ticked off Missouri governor offered a pretty good sized reward, and Jesse found himself on the losing end of a bullet in 1882.

Jesse is still considered by many today to be somewhat of a folk hero, despite all the nefarious things he did. And so it is to that rebellious attitude that the beans salute Jesse James -- bad to the bone, even when that's all that's left of him.

The beans actually considered a life of crime once, but the thought of being a can locked up in the can didn't appeal to them, so they chose the straight and narrow path. I think we can all be thankful for that.

Living proof (well, it was living at one point...) that they'll sell just about anything if they think there's a sucker willing to buy it, the beans pose next to the stump of the tree that used to shade Jesse's grave. Of course, economics overrode good taste, and the tree was hence forth chopped up and made into God-know-what type of tasteful souvenirs. (Probably lacquered plaques of Jesse or something of that sort...).

While the beans are truly appalled to see that this majestic tree was unceremoniously sacrificed in the name of gift shops, they do understand that the proceeds pay for the lawn mowing, and since they didn't see any sheep grazing among the tombstones, they'll have to assume it's an economically sound plan. Just as long as they don't make wooden bean cans out of it...

Finally, the beans pose with a nearby tombstone, which was about as generic as you can get. "Pappy's" grave is about 3 feet from Jesse's, so we're assuming it's Jesse's Pappy that we're talking about. If so, well then that's cool. If not, well then it's still cool.

The beans are hoping to only have one word on their headstone, too -- they thought about just going with "BEANS", but that's too plain -- I mean, there are millions of ordinary beans out there. Our frijoles need to stand out for all eternity, right? So until they can come up with something better, the beans have decided to go with "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeans." Don't worry - you'll be sure to recognize them.
