TO ALL COWBOYS EVERYWHERE...

A TOUGH OLD COWBOY FROM SOUTH TEXAS COUNSELED HIS GRANDSON THAT IF HE WANTED TO LIVE A LONG LIFE, THE SECRET WAS TO SPRINKLE A PINCH OF GUN POWDER ON HIS OATMEAL EVERY MORNING.

THE GRANDSON DID THIS RELIGIOUSLY TO THE AGE OF 103.

WHEN HE DIED HE LEFT BEHIND 14 CHILDREN, 30 GRANDCHILDREN, 45 GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, 25 GREAT-GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN,


AND

A 15-FOOT HOLE WHERE THE CREMATORIUM USED TO BE.


Sorta brings a tear to your eye, don't it? :D

It showed up in my inbox today as well, acompanied by an older photo of a younger Sam Elliott.

Why is it women keep sending men photos of other men? I'd rather perfer see Sam's wife Katherine Ross.

Yeah, The Duke. The Searchers is usually at the top of any Western Movie list and in the top 5 or 10 on All-time Great movie lists. Clint Eastwood, of course. Randolph Scott is right up there, Lee Marvin was good, especially when he was the bad guy.. Of the more modern actors, Robert Duvall and I think Tom Selleck makes a good cowboy... One who might get up there is Josh Brolin, if he decides to pursue the genre...

I liked him in the movie "Tom Horn".

mark46th 06-28-2011 17:48

Mea Culpa- Definitely Gary Cooper and Steve McQueen was just cool in anything he did...
