Are you suggesting that downing some whiskey and then shooting bottles is a 'bad' idea?

I disagree.

I would however, like to point out that your use of the term "Cowboy suit" is incredibly offensive. It's like calling a military uniform a costume - or calling Leonard Bernstein's baton an orchestra stick.

...trust me though - it was a really good idea

^^^^ If I may state the obvious Ma’am...not wise to poke at SF soldiers; especially if they are as sharp as Box.

You forgot the boots w/spurs, vest, the lariat (or bull whip, depends on how serious you want to get - OWWWW! is not a good safe word), and the pigging strings.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I've actually traded my cowboy hat for a bowler - it was a style choice.

Spurs - got 'em
Vest (with pocket watch and gold chain) - got it
Piggin' Strings - truth in advertising, the handle of my gun-cart is wrapped in what could easily pass as piggin' strings
Chaps - well, I really want some for the cold weatherbut DAMN they are just so expensive

lariat and bull whip - sorry - dont have those
then again, with a pair of six shooters, a Winchester, and my trusty coach gun - I have no use for 'em

I always try to be Happy in life, not because everything is good, but because I try to see the good side of everything. But I know nothing about bull whips or piggin' strings...

After five years of “not a good time” I’ve published ( as of July 6th 2021) my memoir of not a good time.

https://www.amazon.com/Birds-Road-In.../dp/1950301354

Not trying to throw out a hat here, just feeling a bit better and wanting to share an accomplishment at 50.

It's a beautiful day...

I'm going to eat cold leftover mac and cheese right out of the serving bowl with a plastic spoon while standing over an open trashcan barefoot while wearing my flannel pajama bottoms and a t-shirt with muddy paw prints from my dog because I am alone in the house right now and I can whatever the fuck I please
