So ya wanna be a COWBOY?

[litl rooster]

  The other nite Delmonico and self were PM"N messages back/enfor...I told him about Baxter Black sayin, When cowboy get's in wreck ifn' he don't die you can (and might add, must) laugh immediatly...Ifn' he dies you must wait three days first.  Many Cowboy's like Redneck's have murmered the last words of    HEY WATCH THIS...
  This evening while making my rounds puttin salt and mineral out, the radio station had the Silly useless trivia...  The question was....3 Americns have died from this?

Answer: Flying COWS....from tornado's


Please refrain from laughing for 3 days...

Several years back a Pard at  work and I heard the Baxter Black line above, a few days later had medium size wild heifer charge and take out me and my horse...My horse being younger got back up and defended us. My Pard rode up ask are ya dead? Nope I replied   He asked is ya hurt? I again replied I don't know...I could hear him laugh half way across the section as I got to my feet.


Any one have any Tragically funny ones...?

I think it has to do with what you need to go through to get the punch line delivered!

Well I didn't tell you, but I'm much safer being a cosie, why, well bulls don't like me!  Our neighbor across the road from where that saddle-lite photo I sent you, used to have one that used to come to the fence and bellow any time I talked loud, even if he was 1/4-3/8 mile away. 

Mark always told me if he ever left his pasture and was wantin' to abuse me I was to drop him and we'd split him up between use, he eventually got sold to Ronald and got his name changed to Big Mac.   But I have a lot of trouble with bulls, I have to make sure there ain't on in a pasture afore I cross it.  Even have had a couple of threats from buck deer.

hehe, my  almost last words were not Hey Watch This, but WHAT THE HELL??? hehe, by the way, im back up to shooting my 45 now!!! And I might laugh, but prolly not over death...

Well, let’s see…
One close encounter of this kind, involved a fifty-five gal. oil drum, about a cup of gasoline, a gas soaked rag, a match, a steep fifteen ft. RR embankment, gravity and a push.  Created several nice burr-free trash cans for our High School before one of the hockey-puck-sized cast iron plugs blew out and imbedded itself in a telephone pole about twenty feet from where we were standing.      Decided the school had enough outdoor trashcans.

When I was 18, we lived at a camp that had trail horses. The summer before, I went to a week of horsemanship camp. Before that, I had ridden horses a few times. One day I decided to take a walk into the pasture and visit with the horses. That would've been fine but being young and foolish I decided to try to ride one bareback. Mind you, I had not ridden bareback before. I got on the horse just fine. Then the herd decided to start running down a hill. I had my arms around the neck of the horse, but that wasn't good enough. I didn't know anything about holdin' on with my knees. So, I proceeded to slide up the horse's neck. Fearing that I would slide o'er it's neck and get stepped on, which happened to my foot previously, I jumped off the right side of the horse and landed in a pile on the ground. The only thing that was hurt was my pride.

First my brother is 12 or 13 years younger than me.....That said.


Back when he was 8 or 9, I got my first paying horse job, hacking trail horses on the weekend....Cuz I was in lust with a cowgirl there.   Little brother would follow me off the edge of the earth if I told him he'd be okay. Well the people who owned the place had a bunch of little old ponies, that needed rode, lit' rooster even for his banty size was too big, so I suggested I bring in my littler brother who was a half pint Banty then.  I thought he knew how to ride, Isn't a genetic thing So the owner  and Little Bro and self (that's what I always call him) saddled these little guys up and led them to the arena.

 We put him on the first one and told him what to do.  You see the thing we over loooked that ponies and many horses don't liked being cinched up so they suck alot of air in the gut. Well we we turned him loose he made it to the far end of the arena, on a pony trot...Pretty fast for a 8 year old on his first solo ride. All of a sudden we hear screams of terror, when we looked he was at the 7 o'clock position on the ponies side hanngin on for dear life. The pony troted to the other end with him hanging this way, stepping in front of the pony he stopped. My brother then asked what do I do now, all of us laughing histercially I finally told him to fall off.

  Years later he was trying to recall the  ordeal and was telling (probably some girlfriend) That he was put on a wild horse and we were using him to break them.   He would still like to be a COWboy but just cuz of the COWgirls
