Oh guys, I'm so happy you mentioned this... when Ray and I watched it at his place, we got to the part where the guys are sitting at the campfire talking about rodeoing and we said at almost exactly the same time "you can't get comfortable until your boot is shoved ALL THE WAY INTO the fire".. lol! One of Sarah's classics, if memory serves.
And I can't watch the movie anymore without the following etiquette thread excerpts making me smile:
* canned bean labels should be rotated toward camera
* the typical cowboy honeymoon consists of 1 day of sledding down a snowy mountain with your bride
* The polite cowboy will never refuse the offer to rub the tired, smelly feet of his waitress.
* Color of cowboy hat and horse should differ lest one appear too 'matchy.
* When lassoing friend, apply lariat from the front. Lassoing from behind may lead to fisticuffs.
* When streaking out the door with boyfriend, it is most cordial to offer wife some smokes.
* In case you can't grow sideburns, apply brillo pads to face.
* Before delivering disappointing news, it is good manners to clean off the listener's truck door handle.
* when a stranger visits your home, decides to rummage through a family member's closet and take an item of clothing without permission, it is expected that you should offer a paper bag for him to take said item home.
* It should surprise no one to run into Chilean sheepherders in the middle of Wyoming.
* Be careful. Don't let your good manners "write a check that your body is not willing to cash". Sometimes you think you're just picking up a fallen red hat...
* Short-legged pudgy rodeo clowns become tall, slim, and long-legged when encountered in bars. However, they are sometimes considerably uglier there.
Okay, so i think about a lot of them... that thread was hilarious.. I keep a printout of it with me at work and read it if I'm feeling annoyed with the world. It always makes me smile...
