Widder, SASS #59054 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 In the movies, why is it that AFTER all the cows start running, the ground is rumbling and the dust is flying, the cowboys start yelling........ STAMPEDE. Heck, we all know its a stampede. And the noise of the stampede drowns out the yells of the Cowboy. Go figure! ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Although they didn't use the phonetic alphabet back then, I think the modern equivalent would have been, "Hotel Sierra!" or "Oscar Sierra!" Stay well and safe, Pards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass Range Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Depending on how far the herd is strung out the first thing I remember is one of the point riders heading back yelling "we lost the lead". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Why is it that whenever people figure out a gunfight is about to occur, everone furiously runs to the other side of the street, from both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashknife Cowboy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I like to know why it is believed that you need to yell "YEAHHHH!" to make your horse go. I just squeeze at the knees and go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
