I had mad sex with a girl all gussied as a rodeo queen, in the mens bathroom of the bank across the street on the parade route. I was all cowboy'ed up ans look like Sam Elliot. We knew each other 10 minutes, and yes, I love pioneer day.
I'm goin to Evaningston to get some real beer and watch fur UHP fellers!
Get er done

It may have been a Queen who had to to to the rodeo since the cops no longer let them cruise Ft Buenaventura

The lemmings leap from the cliff another day.
July 24th 2011 falls on a Sunday. Expect big celebrations on Monday July 25th.
