Crazy idea are the standerd of most of the games I'm in.

Lets see, I had the Mad sciencetist who used a super growth formula to 
make a giant 12 foot tall turkey which got loss terrorise a small mineing 
town, it attacked a indian youth in the dark and was misidentified as a 
mythological eyekiller demon. The posse was up against a group of semi 
competent "wranglers" from the professpor's ranch who wanted to capture 
the beast alive without anyone knowing about it, so they ended up 
covering up all evidence that might have clued the posse into the fact 
that they was up against a giant turkey and not a eyekiller. 
When the posse finally caught up to "big tom" the first thing they did 
was shot it head clean off with a luck shot, leaving them with a trashing 
headless 10' tall turkey charging them.

Then there was the my rip off of seven brides for seven brothers, where 
adam kidnaps a preacher with the 6 brides who just happens to be the 
confederate spy the posse was tracking down, and the first bride just 
happened to be a werewolf who had infected the whole bunch of brohters by 
the time the posse caught up and got avalanced in the mountains with them.

I was also in a game as a player where a sudden flash flood had wiped out 
the rail bridge to town, apon investigation it turned out that giant 
beavers had build a dam that had given way and they were now in the 
process of building another that would cut off the only source of water 
for the local ranchers. ( we chased them off with dynamite in the water, 
and got to use the line "take that you toothy basterds!")
