Cowboy... American Cowboy.
To quote Undertoad, "We live bigger lives here, because we are ornery John Wayne motherfuckers..."

In truth, mostly we're not... but there are still some out there, like this Cody, Wyoming. cowboy I found on Wunderground.

YEEHAW!!
You'll notice unlike Hollywood Cowboys, he lost his hat. :D

There's something about rodeo cowboys that just gets a girls heart pounding isn't there.

We have a circuit over here too. The last one I went to was at Boonah, but it was pretty small. Still exciting though.

Yes ali, I grew up going to rodeos big and small.

Boonah sounds cool. hehe I like that name.

Reminds me of days past. I never participated but my HS in Oklahoma had a barn as big as the damm school. And being a kid who had transfered from middle crowded New Jersey it was the darnedst thing I had ever seen, a school with a barn that actually had animals in it.

A boy asked his Father, "Do you think I could make a living riding wild horses in a rodeo?" Hi Dad replied, "You should get a couple bucks out of it."

Sure, it's real. Sure, it's dangerous. Sure, it's exciting. But I just can't get interested. I'm waiting for gladiator fighting to become fashionable again.

'gladiators' the tv show has just started up over here again. I've never seen such crap in my life. Some people must like it though.
