    Clearly, you have never been to Neyland Stadium.

    Nothing but edible panties made of fruit roll-up and shaving cream over your nipples.

    And cowboy boots.

    It might say "Alabama," but whoever posted that for google to find was a dumbfuck. It should be "allemande," a square-dancing term. Because "Alabama" makes no sense whatsoever.

    And anyone covering rodeo would be wise to double-check the spellings of names in programs with the various Web sites. The folks running the PBR event I covered had a local cowboy's name misspelled, as he was so kind to point out to me in a bar last night.

    And you never know what format they'll want the correction in. ;)

    I am unable to comment on the format he wanted at this time :-X ;) :D

    Just take a wild guess . . . drunken cowboy, sportschick, a bar. You can figure it out!

    A few years back when I was still in the industry I had to cover a 3-day rodeo. On the first day it was muggy-ass hot and I wore shorts in a t-shirt. I'm not sure I've ever felt such a culture shock in my life having come from a big, urban school (it was my first job out of college). The next day, I figured there was no way I could possibly fit in there, so I decided to dress as preppy as I could just for the juxtaposition. I think three of the five cowboys I interviewed laughed at me while talking because of how I looked, which was fitting since I was laughing to myself at how they looked. It actually kept me very amused while covering an event I had no interest in. I can't imagine actually doing that stuff, though.

    Give credit where credit is due to the 1976 world bareback champ, Chris Ledoux, the singing cowboy. If you want real rodeo music pull some of his stuff off iTunes. Can't stand country music but there's something authentic about Ledoux, God rest him.

    And I don't understand why so many women buy the aw-shucks act put on by these guys. Then again, if they're content being just another notch in the belt, no harm no foul, right?

    Edit: The song in question IS Garth, but it contains a reference to "listening to tapes by Chris Ledoux." I just can't stand Garth so I was feeling militant.

    Just Ledoux it!

    SC, did he let you wear his hat and his boots and nothing else? Dirty Inquiring minds want to know ...

    Ledoux was wonderful, be we were talking Garth, dammit!

    And I'm well aware that the aw-shucks thing is an act. I've got cousins, an uncle and a stepfather who've ridden in the rodeo over the years. I've been warned multiple time . . . and how do you know he's not a notch in my belt? ;)

    Novelist and space . . . No comment, dammit!

    Re: the notch

    Goes without saying, SC. I was speaking in generalities anyway.
