Well I hope you don't mind, but I've been using it to describe cowboys who couldn't ride a horse if their life depended upon it! You know the guys I'm talking about don't you? Thanks for the response, I have read a few books by you and I'm looking for more, it's almost an addiction!
Thanks for responding to me, and everybody else... Thanks for the welcome, I'll try to get back more often.

We used to call them "Dime Store Cowboys," or "Dude's." But as I haven't ridden a horse or herded cattle in fourty years, I'd probably fall into that catagory myself these days.
