miteyak 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I believe you'll find a rather large number of cowboys 'working' in the eikaiwa business (that's not to say all those in the eikaiwa business are cowboys...) Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 A cowgirl doesn't feel comfortable unless she has a pommel to sit on. Link to post Share on other sites
enderzero 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 There are plenty of cowboys left in the US. They probably aren't too busy driving cattle across the plains for months at a time though. Anyone actually interested in Cowboys should read Lonesome Dove . Really a great novel about cowboys and long gone days. Link to post Share on other sites
KonaYuki 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Definitely - that is a great book. I've always wanted to be a cowboy for some reason (not the eikaiwa-ing kind) Link to post Share on other sites

Really a great novel about cowboys and long gone days. Yeah I'm pretty sure Lonesome Dove was made into a mini-series for tv too. Filmed outside of Calgary -Alberta -Canada. Pretty good... Cowboys are easy to spot....cowboy hat & boots, wrangler jeans and long sleeve shirts nobody else would wear, chewing tobacco in back pocket of jeans....and drive around in pick-up trucks listening to music about losing their wife, dog, truck etc. - altho this seems innocent enuff they usually come with an un-healthy dose of "Redneckism".
