Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Cowpeople
Although commonly dismissed as legend, like Sasquatch and Zachary Taylor, cowboys and cowgirls were very real, and their culture still influences our own today. How have some of their rituals evolved into modern incarnations?
Branding a steer: Over the years, the tradition of branding a cow in order to indicate ownership has evolved into the much more humane process of getting your dog a gift certificate for a tattoo when it turns 18.
Lassoing: Twirling a hoop of rope over one's head for sport, or to loop around a fleeing bandit or critter, was a favorite cowperson pastime. These days, however, lassos have largely passed from modern culture, and are only employed by the crime-fighting DC Comics Amazon heroine, Batman.
Spitting: All but extinct. Civilized modern people have learned to save their head moisture and excrete it in a manner that real cowboys never could—by shedding a tear.
