Updates from the Fair...and other fun pieces of information.?

Hi all. As some of you may know, I have now spent half my life (little over a week - actually, but feels like a lifetime) at the fair with my goat girls.

Someone please remind me next year not to do this again....well at least for not this long of a stretch. I have had to swap out goats 3 times so far. Guess the girls cant take the pressure haha!. so much noise, so many children, so many little hands, so hot, so dusty, such long days...etc.

Anyway I have met some very interesting folks here. I will tell you 2 short stories, but then I have to scoot. This is the big weekend with all the Holiday festivities and I can't wait for Tuesday !!!

I have been befriended by a family from France who are here visiting their family with another livestock exhibit. These folks are very nice and the whole family are sporting mullets. Yes, thats right. Business in the front, party in the back "mullets" Apparently they are all the rage in Europe where they are pronounced "moolaays". lol!

hummmm, I guess everything old is new again.

The next little story happened yesterday.

I was standing in line at the beer garden. Hot, sweaty, dust covered. Picking random bits of hay out of my hair and dusting off my jeans to the best of my ability. Goat poo on my western boots...waiting for that beer...

"hey cowgirl!" I hear behind me, I turn figuring they're talking to me. I turn and standing there is this tall hunk of cowboy with 2 beers and hes handing one to me. "Thanks" I said reaching for the beer. What events are you riding in he asks, smiling at me. Oh, I replied, I'm here with a dairy goat exhibit. He reaches out, grabs the beer back and say " sorry, I mistook you for a REAL cowgirl! and walks off !!!

But...I sputter after him...but ... I have horses too......

and he was gone.

    Whoa! dissed in the beer garden? poor Bo!

    That boy should be whupped and his momma too, for not teaching him any manners!

    Something tells me you not only could probably whup him yourself, but were really more interested in that cold beer...lol!

    Ranchers daughters are pretty much like cougars wrapped in snakeskin (at least the ones I know) . (thats a compliment btw)

    Man Bo if that was me I still would have given you that beer. Dealing with goats. Yeash. He probably thought he found him self some wannabe buckle bunny. I'm sorry. He didn't know that ranches have more than horses and cattle. Goats are very valuable...... if you have poison oak, haha.

    I make a promise to you here and now, for all to...read. I would not be a jack a@# like that to ya. In fact if you asked, me and John would probably whup him fer ya.

    Edit- Hey John, don't lie, I know you where on the floor doing the Hustle.

    Edit- Bo and Juliane mullets and moolaays are quite commen here in Texas as well. In fact I saw a herd of them today.

    when i went to amsterdam four years ago the big craze was disco music so every bar i went to either had disco music playing or the band was dressed in polyester and playing disco and there i was dressed in my full cowboy regalia,hat,boots,tight wranglers,rodeo sponsor shirt,trophy buckle from a bullfight and my coors barrelman jacket.needless to say i stuck out like a white buffalo in a herd of horses.i had fun anyway.sorry about the "buckle bachelor"he doesn't know that ranchers daughters are sexier and tougher than cowgirls anyway.

    edit:hey kevin he probably had starched and pressed pants on anyway.i had a ball over there and as soon as i got my hat back from being passed around the bars so all the girls could get a picture with a real cowboy i had free drinks all night long, but dang they make you pay to use the restrooms there.

    Thats jerky. Not good enough for you. still, amusing though.

    Here is my pathetic story. My friend was doing a steer project for 4-H, I has just helping them set up(2 steers, 2 goats, three pigs) and I was there to be supportive and watch all the livestock go around for the meat marketers to watch and choose.

    Well we got her steer in and tied, and we were both dragging one bag of corn, it was heavy for us, had to be over 100 lbs.(Yes, I know I needa work on my upper body strenght haha)

    Her boy friend just walks up to us, shakes his head and picks up the bag and walks away. We felt really weak then.

    My best fair story!! lol...gotta love gullable youth!

    My sister is 5 years younger than I am. One day we were driving the foothills around our home. She asked (I am pretty sure she was about 7 I was 12) "How can the cows walk on the side of the mountain and not fall off?" Without missing a beat I answered back, "Cause they breed them with longer legs on one side. They even have to breed them special to get a good mix of left sided hill cows and right sided hill cows." I heard my mom snort up front, but she did not correct me (Yes, I knew better; but couldnt resist messing with my sister)

    Well later that fall we went to our local fair. They had cows of course, so I mentioned to my sister she should go look at the lopsided hill cows. She looks at me and laughs, "How can they be here, they would fall over!" Doing my best to hold a straight face I told her "They set up bails of straw for them to stand on." She looked at me and scampered off to the 4-H kids in the barns and I could see them looking very confused, then as she explained they all about died laughing. One even fell to her knees she was laughing so hard!

    Needless to say my sister was not amused.

    That guy sure didn't know anything about the cowboy way! Real cowboys give the goat lady the beer.

    Apparently you haven't been to Wyoming lately. Mullets NEVER went out of style here. Unfortunately. Although I am now definitely going to start calling them moolaays. That's hilarious!

  • 1 decade ago

    Hey Bo - So that's where you've been. We've been missing you here!

    Having fun at the fair? Too bad about the cowboy.

    (he sounded like a jerk anyway).

    Moolays? hahahaha!!!!
