For any Europeans who don't understand American's sometimes, there is a "pastime" known as Cowboy Poker, that is played at rodeos. A table is set up in the middle of the arena, with 4 chairs and 4 men sit done for a game of cards. A bull is turned loose in the arena, and attempts to knock each cowboy out of his chair. Some lose their nerve and run, and some stay. The last person still sitting in his chair is declared the winner. This is a new version of an "honorable" game, often times depending on your "friends" for your safety and well being. I think there are some Brit's in this round as they are eating "lollies" to add to the difficulty/danger.

Wade,
well that looks like "fun" for me watching ! ouch
I gotta say, kind of dingy.I like the hats and lollipops. I don't think that will ever be as popular as sky diving.
seriously I think bulls deserve better.

Rebecca,
As the great Conway Twitty sang, "that Stetson hat and those fancy boots, don't tell you what's inside. If he ain't good in the saddle, you won't be satisfied, so don't call him a cowboy, until you've seen him ride."
