So does the incidence of STDs and STIs.

Wear a cowboy hat, and a cowboy glove!

There is absolutely nothing sexy about cowboy or cowgirl hats.

Not in shape, okay-looking... but I have fun wearing a cowboy hat every once in a while so screw it. This was at the local county fair this spring.

A hat doesn't make you a cowboy, saggy pants don't make you black, and no matter what women over 40 think, a tattoo doesn't make you 20.

If you're hot with a cowboy hat on, you're hot with it off. If you're ugly without a cowboy hat, no $3.99 piece of straw that you grabbed from the discount aisle at Zellers is going to fix that.

Amen brother. Too many ridiculous-looking fake cowboys and -gals around these parts. (Texas) The hats are de rigeuer for lots of the college bars and clubs here.

At least I know I'm not a real cowgirl. I tend to fall into the rockabilly category.

I never could figure out why a bunch of people who are church going, conservative types who frown on all kinds of things for being immoral are always listening to music where the main theme seems to be adultery and alcohol abuse. As long as it's got that country twang, you could be singing about ripping people's hearts out and eating them while screwing a water buffalo and they'd just bob their heads along to that good ol' fashioned down home music.

In that I live in Toronto, whenever I see someone with a cowboy hat, I know that they're trying to be ironically cool, and therefore I know that I would not like this person. It's like a friendship barometer. Or better, like a bright-orange prison jumpsuit. You know not to get too close to that person.

More like she's toned like a number of female riders I know. Legs, especially the inside thighs, get a major workout. They also tend to have strong, but not too cut, arms from doing actual work around the stable. Shoveling shiat builds more than just character.

And you can wear jeans to the office for the whole time, which also can make people look more attractive. Not that anyone is ever in their office during Stampede week, but you have to go in to pick up your tickets to that day's boozy breakfast and lie once again on your voice mail. Not that anyone will call because they will be at the boozy breakfast too.

Yee-haw

Cowboy hats are not sexy.

The are the warning tag that the person wearing said hat is either an out of town farmer (see big belt buckle and name on the back of the belt) or some college kid trying to be ironic.

You know what a liter of Jack costs in Calgary? It's a lot, thanks to the taxes and import duty.

Was glad when I saw booze prices in Canada that I gave up drinking.

Calgary is a fun town. Its a whole lot more laid back and friendly than Edmonton.

As a city boy, I was in shock when I first ran into actual cowboys with boots and belt buckles the size of toilet seats. I watched the stampede on the tv cause i don't like stepping in stuff. I still don't get it

Apparently the visits to the clinic increase during the Stampede:

http://www2.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=435a8bcb-fe1f-480f-8b16 - 0707ddd6edb8

At the pharmacy where she worked, the pharmacist said she distributes Plan B to perhaps one person, if at all, in the course of a normal week. "During Stampede, it's almost one or two a day."

But it's not only at the pharmacy where the change is felt. The manager of the Mac's Convenience Store at 7th Avenue and 8th Street S.W. said while he sells more of everything as tourists flood the city -- from potato chips to bottled water during the Stampede -- he sees a huge increase in condom sales.

He said he usually has to double his twice-weekly orders. "And even with that, you can run out," said manager Sherif, who would not give his last name.
