Seems how my first post was moved from this thread which repeatedly refers to us as "cowboys"...let me tell you what a REAL cowboy is gent's

**** your hollywood image of pretty-faced,gun-slinging trigger-happy idiots with the snakeskin boots and ten gallon hats...

I am a cowboy.I run a dairy farm.I work with cows every day.24/7;no leave.Cowboys are loners and don't do stupid s**t because of this fact.We ARE pretty head-strong and stuborn in our ways and will fight ta death if pushed...but seldom reckless in action.

The word and definition you folks SHOULD be using is MAVERICK;not cowboy...and you don't even have to take my word for it.Look it up.

Sorry for the rant guys...it's just the term "cowboy" and how you all percieve us ALL is a rather incorrect generalization IMHO...

If you want to call us mavericks...I can see it.

 

That's telling them my "Maine" Man.
Maverick it is !

 

As far as A10 Warhog drivers are concerned, "cowboy" is just fine.

Maverick...........he was in "Top Gun" the film, although he was a PR1CK I dont think he blew any of his own away!

So "cowboys" is the correct terminoligy here........

 

Ahhh yes...Hollywood again...

No,he didn't shoot any of his own...but if I remember right,he DID get his wingman killed...by being a maverick.

 

Sorry ,yes your right......

He also didnt look like an American,more Russian to me.

 

i've got a few farmer mates and they work a lot harder than me, and they seem to enjoy the lifestyle

 

It got moved 'cos its not CWE related - like this

No disrespect to cowboys though

 

"No disrespect to cowboys though"...

Sorry Puff,but I've seen nothing BUT disrespect for cowboys on this board.Cowboys are passive loners...they're too busy working to deal with another idiot's s**t.If they have too...it's usually over quick.

but a real cowboy would NEVER start a war...nor shoot at an unidentified target and what lies beyond it.You ever been shot at Puff?

 

Correction - it was Iceman's hesitation that got Maverick's wingman killed

 

Due to jet wash causing engine stall, IIRC.

D

Sad top gun fan..LOL.....

 

I once used a jet wash on my engine and it stalled,what a coincidence.

 

so if you're really busy and working with cows 24/7 (!) how come you have time to be posting on here?

 

Who me?

No,I only work with cows at the weekend!

I have to herd them in whilst they get watered,then herd them out when they have had enough.

 

Lol @ Yoza (Jetwash!)

 

 

Looks like you guys know Hollywood ALOT better than I do,eh?

 

Would you not class yourself more as a dairy farmer than a Cowboy ?
