      At Texas A&M you won’t get ten seconds inside a building without someone politely but very forcefully telling you that you are being disrespectful wearing a hat inside.

      Jesus tipping Mary, thank you! The hat was specifically to keep the sun off my face, out of my eyes, and the rain from running down my neck. As a fashion statement, I hate it. The ‘rodeo’ near me has so many dipshits rocking it because they think it makes them look the part, and meanwhile they’re on the third topo chico and sweating in the indoor AC.

        I want a straw cowboy hat for work. My boonies hat works well, but it’s too damned hot. Know where I can get a solid deal?

          I just get the cheap ones from any of the hardware stores. I had a nice one for work when it was a role that was for a local government and I had to meet with folks outdoors, but if it’s just for dirty work then the cheap stuff will last for long enough. Most of my hats were ruined by mechanical intervention before they wore out.

      A cowboy once told me, that you can spot a fake by how clean their hat is.

      Since (so he told me) in case a bull had an episode, they would throw their hat in the other direction and climb over the corral fence. The bull would often go after the hat.

      Is he even a cowboy if he doesn’t put his hat over his heart and address a woman as “ma’am”

        I guess cowbiy is different to everyone but to me you lost the Cowboy at the entering of a coffee shop. Various reasons, 1 being it’s cheaper at home, and 2 being that the last cowboy I knew made $35k a year, so he couldn’t afford a coffee shop

          I make the same amount and I can concur; the only time I drink coffee is when I get it for free at work.
