You cannot be a cowboy …

You cannot be a cowboy if you wear a fanny pack.
Even if the rest of you is all cowboy. No, make that CAPITAL COWBOY.
Hat, check. Gaudy design on beige western shirt, check. Leather cowboy boots. Check. Swagger. Yep. Leathery, wrinkled face full of business. Yep.
American flag-patterned hankie flying out of a back pocket. Oh yes.
But fanny pack, oh no!
Spotted at Wal-Mart, of course.
That is all.

Don’t ever come to Virginia, my dear. We have lots of imitation cowboys here. We live in Virginia horse country, however, and what we see more often are wealthy girls/women shopping in Wal-Mart in jodhpurs and high, leather riding boots, white shirts, and those funny little helmets. I’ve never understood why they don’t change their clothes before going shopping. I suspect it has something to do with vanity, it’s like saying “Look at me, I’m rich enough to own horses and ride them in competitions.” Or maybe they just think they look hot in those skin-tight stretchy pants and leather boots.
Too, too funny. Especially the last line. Wal-Mart says it all!
You never know. It could be a cowboy subset, a forgotten subspecies.
It was probably a … Clovis cowboy, Mike.
