    Nothing wrong with it.. I occasionally dress like Robin Hood or a Jedi Knight in public..



    :p


    Now that is funny! :D
    I have never been to Texas...but I deal with a lot of tourists at work and it seems like all the woman have huge hair..wear a ton of make-up and jewelry..
    and have big boobs...and wear dresses or skirts a lot.. they like animal print
    I dunno..( like in that old show Dallas...)
    haha...
    ( I work in cosmetics and this is what I see.... why people do the things they do....who knows)

    There are a lot of woman out there who really love the 'cowboy'...

    In Idaho we get a ton of city folk (especially from Cali) moving here all the time and the first thing they do is try to look the part. So they buy big new trucks and try to look all outdoorsy or cowboyish but I never see these people actually out in the hills where their big new truck might actually have some use. The whole thing is pretty hilarious.

    According to Borat Texas is in California
  • Seriously? Its really a surprise to see cowboys in Texas? Its fairly common here. Half are actually cowboys that work and live the life. The other half are full of shit. There are pictures of me at age 5 or so, I'm wearing boots, wranglers, and a yellow, snap-button shirt... wtf. Now it seems strange to me that a good friend of mine rides a horse all day and works cattle, but its not that uncommon here.

    WTF is going on here in Texas and some other States? I was downtown having lunch when all of a sudden two guys walk out of a restaurant both dressed like cowboys. I mean cowboy hat, boots, big buckle, and had on wrangler jeans. It looked like he was dressed up for Halloween. I told my friend "I hope they are about to get on their horses". Nope, they got in a Ford Truck. Look, I know it's Texas, we are "where the west began" and blah blah blah, but WOW! :eek: What would happen if I dressed up as an Indian and walked around town like that? Sorry to vent, but my friend said that one of them even had on spurs....What the hell?? :confused:
    I thought that was the norm where you are?
    Don't all the guys at least were cowboy hats? LOL
    Get em a Body Bag Yeeeeeaaaaa!

  • I don't understand this. I didn't realize it was a secret some people dress like cowboys.

    Can't you just see the thread over on George Strait's website: "OMFG, I was walking down the street today and I saw two white dudes with dreadlocks and Pink Floyd t-shirts!! What is the world coming to! Those damn hippies!"
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    nope, wrong answer.
    they're not tourists.
    i know quite a few folks in Texas
    and Texas is filled with exactly what
    in_hiding is talking about.

    and what is hilarious
    is that alot of these dudes and chics
    drive very huge 4x4 trucks that have never
    and will never see a muddy field, will never haul hay bales,
    it's a disaster if you ask me.


    The people who dress and drive vehicles like they work on a farm or drive off road crack me up. It's one thing if you really do, but I always get a kick out of seeing the woman or business man driving a lincoln navigator that has the brush guards and stuff on. The closest that suv ever comes to off roading is when they pull in to far at the bank parking lot and hit the shrubs.

    I love the fact that they walk around like this and think it is normal. It's fucking hysterical. Just reminds me of this one time walking through the Denver airport and this guy with boots, hat, and that stupid tie thing...man, I couldn't stop laughing.

    Oh, and they're mostly all from Texas. A whole 'nother world that state is...

    OK, I am guessing that you're in Fort Worth but you're not from here? (The city motto is "Where the West Begins")

    Lots of people in Texas really do dress that way, as you've noticed. We are also close enough to working ranches that the guys you saw may be actual cowboys. I'd have to see them to know for sure. But spurs? That's weird. :confused:

    I'll ponder that while I'm out tending the stock . . . .

    Nope, I live in Austin and have been here for twenty years. I have a sister in Dallas. She knows all about Fort Worth...they aren't real cowboys, they just think they are. ;)

    OK, ya got that right! I can't imagine real cowboys in Austin, just wannabes.

    Like I said, if you're in Fort Worth you can be on a working ranch in about a 30 minute drive. We have enough rodeos and cutting horse competitions that it just isn't that unusual to see real cowboys here. But after living in Texas 20 years, you're like me (a native)--you can spot a real one when you see em. :D

    That's funny!
    They have one at the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. I don't know how to describe it. It's not like a real one, sort of "low-impact." You can ride it and watch a video of yourself on it. Talk about cheesy! My sister and I took turns riding it.

    C'mon Pam, you're in Austin. These guys could just be in town for a bj from a tranny and a bondage show before heading back to the ranch in Kerrville. ;)

    Wow, I guess I don't see what the big deal is. I could care less how people dress. I wait on so many stinky hippies everyday and I don't think anything about their garb. A cowboy would be a fun change of pace. Yesterday, 3 people called me pocahontas because of the way I looked, I didn't care.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.
