TO ALL COWBOYS EVERYWHERE...
Lov it,, From my #1 SiL
Quote:
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.

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.

Sam Elliott is to Cowboys,like what R Lee Ermay is to the Marine Corps.......... They're both poster "boys" to their trade.........

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...

Cowboy icons - Will Rogers and Bill Pickett - the 'real deal'.
