I submitted this with meatier headline

Hmmm, are the laws allowing people to shoot cattle thieves still on the books?

Then we should bring hanging back in vogue. Yeah, I said it.

finally my rustler jeans mean something.

Please don't burn my ass.

I'm sorry but how is an S turned sideways in a counter-clockwise fashion any different from turning it sideways in a clockwise fashion.

If I am mistaken could someone draw me a picture.

I hate that meme.

But Subby, you win the Internets.

basemetal: Then we should bring hanging back in vogue. Yeah, I said it.

The readers of Vogue Magazine don't care about cattle rustling.

Sure are a lot of references to the "dog wants steak" meme on the front page today...

So far we've got pirates in Aden and now cattle rustlers in the West. Does life get much cooler? When will we start seeing ninjas and samurai in Japan, and Bedouin raiders finally kicking the Saudi monarchy's ass?

Hawkeye: "I had a long little doggie once"
BJ: "What happened to him"
Hawkeye: "He got mustard out"

/Sorry...it's late and I am tired

Hmmm......my neighbor has cattle....

DNRTFA.

Did it over go out of style? Around here, people steal heifers all the time. Put them in the back of their Pintos or Gremlins and drive right off.

Horse rustling has been in vogue for years.

Touche, Telephone Sanitizer Second Class. Touche.

theres cow rustling, then theres this: Link (new window)

Not surprising.. I live in BFE and ground and stew beef is like $4 a pound. Pisses me off.

We need better branding, of both cattle and cattle rustlers.

THIS COW BELONGS TO DARYL JONES SO HANDS OFF

"Seventeen gears, which you can split. Plus Mexican overdrive."

"What's Mexican overdrive?"

"...Neutral."

Approves.

Y'all stay away from my cattle. We will shoot your sorry @$$.

A lone man rides into town and walks into the saloon. It's completely deserted, except for the bartender.
Asks the bartender, "Where's everyone at in this town?"
Bartender says, "There's a hanging."
Man asks, "Who's being hanged?"
"It's Paper Bag Jones. An unusual fellow. Doesn't wear any clothes, just paper bags cut up and tied together."
"Well, that does sound odd. What's he being hanged for?"
Bartender says, "Rustlin'."

can we bring back hanging laws to go with it?

/it's not the fall, just the sudden stop at the bottom.

Reminds me of this joke:

A piece of rope makes his way into an old saloon, and sidles up to the bar for a drink. Bartender says "We don't serve your kind 'round here, so you might as well git on out." Rope goes outside, bereft of his dignity, and finds a man walking out of the bar. Thinking quickly, Rope says "Hey mister, kick my ass!"

The man snathes him up, knots him up and beats him mercilessly on the ground, making his ends all poofed out. The newly-disguised Rope dusts himself off, and heads back inside the saloon confident in his plan. Bartender looks at him and says "Hey,you look kind of familiar, were you in here earlier?"

Rope looks at him and says, "Frayed knot."

/Drinking

How did they know they were Christians?

I can't speak for other states. In Missouri it is still legal (and has been tested in court in the last 20 years) to shoot a cattle rustler.
Though I don't run cattle anymore, I would not have hesitated had I ever caught one (and been threatened).

amisueloo: How did they know they were Christians?

It says right in TFA Headline that the whole county is Christian.

/Durrrr

My thoughts exactly...

One of the funniest FAR SIDEs ever. The expressions on the cows' faces was priceless.

My hubby already shoots everything that wanders onto our farm that does not belong there...stray cats, coyotes, foxes, etc. I would not care to see what he would do to someone who messed with the actual livestock...lol

/If you are faster than a bullet, come try this crap at our place...

Approves.

/might be too obscure for FARK

I laughed. +1, subby
