"A" is argumentatively
« Reply #10901 on: February 06, 2007, 09:53:22 pm »
When one finds oneself looking up at a cowboy from a prone position while he is argumentatively inquiring whether you would care to be relieved of fifty percent of your fornicating dental appendages, the proper response is a polite "Not tonight, bud...I'd certainly rather not."

"B" is branding
« Reply #10903 on: February 06, 2007, 10:00:52 pm »
The sheep branding for Brokeback Mountain was done with paint.

  • Cowboy Code #12: Don’t brand another man’s cattle. Today, at a branding, the owner of the cattle brands the stock, or he designates a trustworthy person to do the work. This rule also applies to castrating, ear marking and vaccinating. This rule was started back when dishonest hands used their irons on calves that didn't belong to them. Don’t pick up a branding iron and try to help unless you’re asked. Several different irons might be in the fire and you might not know which iron goes on what animal.  Cowboy Etiquette

"C" is cunning

Jack's slight smile and his invitation to come into the tent to sleep was a bit cunning on his part, and who could blame him?

Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"D" is dalliance
« Reply #10906 on: February 06, 2007, 10:16:48 pm »
After having the pleasure of a dalliance with one's liaisonnaire in an establishment of hospitality named for a Mexican nap, it is customary to enumerate to one's cowboy lover how many times one has "wrung it out" whilst thinking of said cowboy, and to round it down to the nearest "hunderd".

"E" is etiquette
« Reply #10908 on: February 06, 2007, 10:35:04 pm »
On the rare occasions when one is strolling down a street and happens upon a cowboy kneeling in an alley, striking the wall repeatedly and making incoherent utterances, it is by no means proper etiquette to arrest one's steps and look pointedly in his direction.

"F" is frighten
« Reply #10909 on: February 06, 2007, 10:49:20 pm »
A cowboy will not frighten the animals in his care, either with his harmonica, his horse, or his dogs.

  • Wake a man by speech, not touch. A man startled in his sleep might come up with his gun in his hand.  Cowboy Etiquette
