Your from the west and don't know what chaps are or for.

1. for riding horses to protect legs
2. for going to gay bars not to protect butt

I own a pair of chaps but not for 2 only for 1

Actually, I do. I grew up on horses.
But the discusssion made me think about what happened to a friend of mine who decided to become a cowboy. He was at the stable where he kept his horse and asked some old cowboy if he should get some chaps. Thing is, he pronounced it with the hard 'ch' sound, you know, like 'chapped' lips.

The old saddlefart he was talking to said "Chaps are English fellows. Chaps (pronounced with an 'sh' sound) are for riding horses."

download today:
- Country music outlaw Willie Nelson sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" more than 25 years ago. He released a very different sort of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day.

"Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. But it was written long before this year's Oscar-nominated "Brokeback Mountain" made gay cowboys a hot topic.

Available exclusively through iTunes, the song features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson's deadpan delivery of lines like, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out."

The song, which debuted Tuesday on Howard Stern's satellite radio show, was written by Texas-born singer-songwriter Ned Sublette in 1981. Sublette said he wrote it during the "Urban Cowboy" craze and always imagined Nelson singing it.

Someone passed a copy of the song to Nelson back in the late 1980s and, according to Nelson's record label, Lost Highway, he recorded it last year at his Pedernales studio in Texas.

Nelson has appeared in several Western movies and sings "He Was a Friend of Mine" on the "Brokeback Mountain" soundtrack.

Dude, I'm all for supporting indie cinema, but your fascination with the gay cowboys thing is getting creepy....

[Steven S. Dallas]

For members of the big-city Eastern elite, if it ain't Brokeback it ain't shit. New Yorker magazine, what whaaaat?

[Woodsy]

dont really consider Ang Lee indie Cinema, and I been down wit willy since the 80's

[stump832]

get crunk wit willie, yo. whaaaaat.

[Steven S. Dallas]

So it's possible that when Willie talks about "blowing a bone" on the White House roof, he's not talking about smoking pot?

[Woodsy]

no wonder Carter smiled so big....

Originally by a group called Pansy Division

There's many a strange impulse out on the plains of West Texas;
There's many a young boy who feels things he don't comprehend.
Well small towns don't like it when somebody falls between sexes,
No, small towns don't like it when a cowboy has feelings for men.
Well I believe in my soul that inside every man there's a feminine,
And inside every lady there's a deep manly voice loud and clear.
Well, a cowboy may brag about things that he does with his women,
But the ones who brag loudest are the ones that are most likely queer.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
What did you think those saddles and boots was about?
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother,
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
Ten men for each woman was the rule way back when on the prairie,
And somehow those cowboys must have kept themselves warm late at night.
Cowboys are famous for getting riled up about fairies,
But I'll tell you the reason a big strong man gets so uptight:
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
That's why they wear leather, and Levi's and belts buckled tight.
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who's more like a lady at night.
Well there's always somebody who says what the others just whisper,
And mostly that someone's the first one to get shot down dead:
When you talk to a cowboy don't treat him like he was a sister
Don't mess with the lady that's sleepin' in each cowboy's head.
Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other
Even though they take speed and drive pickups and shoot their big guns;
There's many a cowboy who don't understand the way that he feels towards his brother;
There's many a cowboy who keeps quiet about things he's done.
