As a kid, I wanted to be an astronaut, so I wore a plastic space helmet around a lot. I live in Colorado, so whenever I see guys wearing cowboy hats who have never ridden on horses....

EXACTLY! I live in the mother lode (California) and every day I see assholes like that. I also hate it when people say they live in the boonies and hav 0.5 acre properties

So tell me what Happen when you actually meet a real cowboy, and he's wearing a Yankee Ball Cap, a muscle shirt, sandals, without socks and a pair of shorts with a Six-Shooter on his hips?

oof, that's true, it will happen someday. :P
