Think any of this went on?
"Hey hun!(looking at one's backside in the mirror) do these breeks make my hips look too large?"

'was takin a pasear thru the NFR Caboy Christmas show a few years back an' seen this same faux pauh while a ol pard of mine tried on some chaps at the Las Vegas NFR Cowboy Christmas show. I took several steps back & pulled the brim of my John B. down to blend into the crowd that was gatherin' to watch.

Christine, every tenth shooter on the event results is you. I'd bet you resent the fact that there are really only four commonly used gauges for SC. As for the confusion about license plates, Montana is only one of many places which is montane or even ultra-montane. It's a descriptive adjective as well as a defined geographical and political entity. To call someone a montanan is to call them a mountain dweller even if they hail from a glacial sump. JayCee will back me up on this no question.

I'm only taking two guns with me this year. I'm only there on Saturday. This is going to seriously cut into my shooting.

Montana is a state of mind.

Hey, you don't think the .410 is for SC? Mine is pretty common I admit.

This will give the game away, Lowell. In '04, I wanted to try the dressup so my wife bought me a pair of golf +4s with elastic at the knee. I wore them, looked like I'd just fallen off the turnip truck, and it was TOO DAMN HOT for those knee socks. In '06, my wife altered a pair of corduory Dockers to "look like" breeks and I WOULD HAVE looked like I fell off the turnip truck but again it was TOO DAMN HOT for those socks so I went with my fallback All-American Victorian rig (bowler hat, galluses, collarless shirt, a pair of the most horrible cuffed, pleated black dress pants I could find at Goodwill for four bucks and an old Redhead leg 'o mutton (Thanks Doctor Drew). Cheekful of chaw and some chin dribble would have set this one off just right but it was also TOO DAMN HOT for that and I didn't want to take a chance on swallowing and turning green. So this year, my wife altered another pair of slacks which sort of look like moleskin, I think this time she got the Velcro cuff proportioned to accomodate my impressively massive calves. Again it will be TOO DAMN HOT for the knee sox but I'm going to suffer thru at least one day since she went to the trouble. So it's not the Hucklecote Full Cleveland; I don't care. (I think about my butt the way Lincoln thought about his face--I don't have to look at it.)

It is going to be TOO DAMN HOT this year, isn't it? I shoot really badly when it's hot. Oh well.

Sort of reminds me of Bill Wise and the "Ed Zachery disease". Bet a lot of you got that one in the email.

'Zactly.

Looking good is a lot of work!
...and it is a sin not to look good.
BUT!
These days, I've gone to the backwoods loafer "Deliverance" hillbilly look, complete with a Remmy 1894 and a relic of an LL Bean Maine guide shirt.
As always, still trying to capture the spirit of those better olden days.
