pirates versus cowboys


Guest Angus MacVox

Guest Angus MacVox

there was a debate on another forum about which are cooler, pirates or cowboys... pirates were winning but I still had to chime in:

Why roam the deserts and plains when you can sail the ocean!

Rum is much tastier than whiskey.

Ponytails and bare feet beat stetsons and boots.

Port Royal a damn site more exotic than Carson City.

Which would you rather fire - a cannon or a pistol?

...anybody got any more?

tie'n up ta horse on a rail'n or drop'n anchor off the coast of tropical island.

bound to one continent or sail'n the 7 Seas to ports unknown...

Oh yeah, with doggin' heels... climbing all the way to the knees.

I had a boyfriend that had purple c'boy boots. I met him at DFW airport and flew all the way to Boston with him. It was my admiration of those boots that started the first conversation.

YeeHaa... still gotta give the cowboys their respect. I think they can live in peace. Cows don't float and ships don't sail across deserts.

I vote fer Pirates bein' cooler....mostly because when someone breaks into a Cowboy accent...a lot of times it begins to degenerate into a stereotypical "redneck" drawl- "Howdee pahdner, let's mosey on over to the Tumbleweed Saloon!"....

A pirate accent, however, ah... everyone sounds cool when they do a pirate accent. :D

There's just one thing that cowboys have that pirate's don't...

Mechanical bulls.

I used to go to the Saddle Rack in San Jose every now and then and ride the one there. Having had horses for 15 years and being that San Jose is an urban area were 98% of the people in there didn't know a forelock from a fetlock, I could out-ride the other women. That was fun. Yeeeeeeeee-haw! :D

Alright, so pirates were, technically criminals... and cowboys tended to stay on the 'right' side of the law. But, come on, ladies, you've got to admit, there's always something indescribably irresistable about the rebel, the oulaw :D And, when you look at it, cowboys just don't have it :D

Excellent Quill. I'd have to try 'em both out first before I decide.

One at a time, of course. :D:D:D

Well, maybe we're getting down to the brass tacks now, as we say in the West.

Ultimately, it's the man (or woman) that makes the clothes, regardless of the genre, rather than the other way around.

If he switched costumes... I'd still go with Johnny Depp!

Depp...without a doubt...of course, BUT....only as Captain Sparrow. Not a fan of Depp in anything else really. There is just something about that ornery grin of his... :D ...and of course those eyes. Went to see PotC 5 times...didn't bother seeing Depp's other movie...Mexico....just not the same.....

Arrr...Redd might not salute his fellow gentlemen out of habit...but I must confess that if he did, Depp would win over Pitt.

Hmmm.....Depp...Pitt...Redd...nevermind...Been too long at the rum I fear.

Oh, I'm all for Captain Jack Sparrow - it's not even a decision - without thought, JACK!

I mean, come on, Brad is attractive but he's just too true blue, too straight laced....

:D

And, hey, if push came to shove, I wouldn't mind taking Depp himself either, since the topic was brought up :D

Cows don't float and ships don't sail across deserts.

Actually, a bloated cow will float, and they can kind of swim (at least that's what it looked like when the cowboys were all driving 'em across the Rio Grande). As for boats across the desert, just check out the picture...

Plus, whose mode of transportation is better? Both can be rough rides, but a horse doesn't go on 24/7 as a boat can (no offense to the horse lovers out there-I like them too, but not as much as boats).

Which looks better?
