27. Had to post youtube
To get it outta my head :)

I remembered there was a concept in the song I find nuts ;)

Paula Cole - Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6K7iJ0ahqU

Oh you get me ready in your 56 Chevy
Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch
The dandy lion sun scorching,
Like a glass of cold lemonade?
I will do laundry if you pay all the bills.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?

Why don't you stay the evening
Kick back and watch the TV
And I'll fix a little somethin' to eat?
Oh I know your back hurts from working on the tractor
How do you take your coffee my sweet?
I will raise the children if you pay all the bills?

(Chorus)

I am wearing my new dress tonight
But you don't even notice me.
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes
Say our goodbyes

We finally sold the Chevy
When we had another baby
And you took that job in Tennessee
You made friends at the farm
And you joined them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week
I will wash the dishes while you go have a beer.

Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie son?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the Cowboys gone?
Where is my Marlboro Man?
Where is my shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?

Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea
Yippee Aw, Yippee Yea

:hi:

25. Yes, but nobody expected them to win more than 4 games.
You guys were supposed to be going to the Super Bowl.

I've ran into more real, shit kickin', rodeo riding cowboys in Nevada (most notably Reno, and Carson City) than anywhere else in the whole country.

21. Extinct
The American Lung Association took away their tobacco.

The ASPCA took away their horses and spurs.

The Brady Campaign took away their six-shooters.

PETA took away their cattle.

Developers turned their "home where the buffalo roam" into "Roaming Buffalo Hills Estates - A Planned Community".

And ELF replaced their F-150s with bicycles.





Now they wear hemp clothing, drink organic coffe, and munch vegetarian stir-fry while composing poetry about their past lives on recycled paper and listening to Air America on solar-powered radios.
