    I'm scared to find out! I do know of a place in Fort Worth called the "Stockyards" (they actually have some fun clubs up that way...) and they are all dressed liked this with spurs and all.

    Oh, yeah. They really get all into it there! I think I have some pictures around here somewhere...I am going to dig them out and have a chuckle. :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

  • 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:

    Because deep down...they know you can't resist it...

    What?! the manly persona of pure testosterone intertwined subtle overtones of worked in leather, and cold hard steel.... (and horse)?

    That's some serious control...

    :D

    Hey! There's a bunch of "german cowboys" in Vancouver. I swear they all hang out together and have some sort of club....They wear the boots, the shirts, the bolo ties, and HUGE belt buckles....it's very odd...

    It kinda sounds like wannabe country bars in northern alberta, they sound like they're dressed the same, only northern alberta cowboys are displaced from Newfoundland...but when they get to Alberta, some of them turn into cowboys. It's strange really.

    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.

    I thought that was the norm where you are?

  • 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.
