a kid with a infatuation? O no the horror. It’s fucking fine. If people want to laugh about it later in good spirits, awesome. If it’s not in good spirits, then congratulations you have identified a asshole. Someone not worth giving two shits about.
Also deadwood. That show is fucking awesome and I am not particularly fanatic about western or cowboy culture.
Why is the best part cropped out?
Hey, please don’t let the uninitiated hanging like that. :(
“This guy definitely gets his salsa from New York City”
Real cringe is adult quasi strangers teasing someone for what they did as a teenager.
I got a cowboy hat once until my partner pointed out that men who wear cowboy hats always end up on the TV news with neighbours describing them as a “quiet man who kept himself to himself”, despite which “nobody saw this coming”.
This is more fun if anon is in Italy or something.
Given how many Westerns were from Italy (ie. Spaghetti Westerns), it would make some sense.
Spaghetti westerns were called spaghetti westerns because the directors were Italian:
They were also mostly produced in Europe, particularly Italy and Spain
The real tragedy is that he didn’t stick to it. People who stop being willing to stand out make the world a more boring place.
Hell yeah, people said “Howdy partner” to him. Fucking lean into that shit!
Lean into it. And if all someone sees is something that happened years ago, fuck’em. They don’t know you.
IDK why but this just made me think of Dodgeball.
“Who’s Steve the Pirate?”
“Literally the only player on the team that dresses up like a pirate?”
“We have a player that dresses up like a pirate?!”
Eh, kids will be kids. I remember when I was in the 6th grade there was a kid named Steven who only ever wore camo to school. Of course we all made fun of him. 😔 kids (and their adult versions) can be mean. I hope Steven turned out fine.
Wat. In my 6th grade if someone had worn camo all the time they would’ve been king of the class.
In my 6th grade, wearing camo was so common it was utterly unremarkable. Only time someone got joked with was when a kid named Hunter wore a camo jacket with camo pants outside of deer season.
You can do the cowboy look well. Ditch the long leather coat, the hat and the toothpick. Wear flannel button-ups and cowboy boots of a standard color with jeans of a standard color.
Don’t copy phrases from movies, but speak slowly and politely. Don’t do a strong accent, but it’s ok to do a mild accent. Instead of tipping a hat, give a significant, thoughtful head nod as a greeting.
Check out Sam from TrueBlood as a good example.

The working cowboys tend to dark jeans that show the dirt less.

Howdy partner!
Probably should’ve hired on at a ranch and just kept going.
