Cowboys And Indians
Isn’t it crazy how people’s perspectives change over time? I remember playing Cowboys and Indians as a kid, or even playing with Cowboys and Indians toys as a kid growing up.
I think everyone wanted to be a Cowboy at one point. I think I wanted to be a Cowboy recently, after watching Unforgiven (with Clint Eastwood) for the hundredth time. I think I dreamed of being William Muney.
“You just shot an unarmed man!”
“He should have armed himself if he was going to decorate his saloon with my friend.”
I was driving into work today and I noticed an old Marlboro advertisement on a billboard. It was a rugged cowboy sitting on top of his horse.
The Marlboro man was always deemed cool.
Now? Not so much. Cowboys are stupid.
If someone told me they were a professional cowboy, I would consider them uneducated losers. I mean, get a real job, won’t you!
They probably have designated smoking areas along their horse trails now and the cowboys probably have to carry gigantic pooper scooper with them to help the environment out, or they’ll get fined.
As for the Indians out there? They are either casino owners, or raging alcoholics living on the two reservations that were set aside for them. Man, did the alcoholic Indians really get ripped off.
I think the two reservations that were given to them were in Camden NJ and Downtown Detroit. It wasn’t as if they were getting beach front properties or scenic reservations.
What the heck is happening to us as a society?
We should at least let the six remaining professional cowboys out there, roll up some cigarettes and punch a few alcoholic Indians in the face or something.
That would bring back that rivalry a bit and maybe get us interested in being cowboys and Indians again.

I see boobies
Whoo!
Go Clint Eastwood.
All of the "Indians" are in Canada. Cowboys are lame. :)
Cowboys are amazing.
Best line of Unforgiven... "If anyone don't wanna die they better head on out the back now."
she looks pained in that picture, like she's being forced into it
haha this is interesting
OK this one turned racist, it needs removed.
This moron needs to get out more, go watch a rodeo or something. Uneducated lout. There are a number of Indian reservations scattered throughout the US. One of my best friends is from New England and can claim ancestry through two Indian tribes from that area. One guy I attended university with also had a similar ancestry, but through tribes found in Oklahoma. I also have a number of cousins who have ancestry through a handful of Indian tribes from the Ohio Valley. I think this poor boy hasn't realized that he is surrounded by Indians, and there ain't no cavalry comin' to his rescue, 'cause he insulted all of them cowboys by callin' them stupid.
I'm left oddly wondering if this was satire or actually how the OP feels. :p From the look of the overall affect, I'm going to decide that its satire and giggle about it.
Wow
@tracezilla@lovelyish - Your correct! Its from our humor blog and our fans realize this but obviously it gets people riled up. All humor, whether good or bad, usually offends this one. I did make friends with a real life cowboy Bob from www.naturalcattlehandling.com. Us city clickers realize cowboys have the toughest gig in the world and they make the food circle work for the rest of us. I'd probably last ten minutes hurding catttle a la Billy Crystal.
@wordwarrior39@xanga - relax and read below, it's just a joke.
