What kind of legs you got Jer? Um ah, I ask that for good reason you see.....I wear 550's as they have more leg room, but they make'm with bigger legs that that. But as I recall, the 501's with the button fly and straight legs are the origional. Actually, if you want to go to Bandera as a real $h1tkicker, you need to get some Wrangler MWZ's...and a bright, sharply pressed long sleeve shirt. I boycotted Levis for a while while they backed guys that wore dresses, you may not remember that.

Sorta like this guy. You'll fit right in at Billy Bob's with this outfit on.....you can change into the dress later, go to Dallas and hang out on the corner of Lemon and Oak Lawn Avenue for a while, preferably on a Saturday night around midnight.....it'll just be a matter of time! I think we'll stay in Fort Worth, but let us know how it goes :wink: .

Hi Jerry: if in your travels you ever make it over here to FL, make sure to wear the boots. In addition to their comfort, the toe of the American cowboy boot is especially well-suited for dealing with what we here in Florida are pleased to call ... <ahem> ... palmetto bugs when they scurry to the corner of the room .. :shock: ... btw: it's against the Tourist Laws to use the 'R' word when referring to them :D

Wow, I always thought that palmetto bugs were different then r--chs! I just Googled it and sure 'nuff, they's be one in the same! The stuff ya learn here at LTG.

Here's why I thought what I did:

I spent a week in Ft. Lauderdale with my buddies back in my teen years and the biggest bug we had ever seen was crawling across the floor. This thing was like 3" long!! :shock:

We were told not to worry it was just a palmetto bug. (Oooh, now I get it...)

None the less, one of the guys smashed it with the "security" stick from the sliding door. It made quite the mess. So much so that nobody would pick/clean it up. We just slid the "dining room" table over it and there it laid for the rest of the week with it's yellow guts oozing out onto the carpet! :?

Hi Kurt: well, there you are; the triumph of Tourist Public Relations over common sense. Not gonna argue with the boys from Tejas over which state has larger versions of this critter but, as you saw, I think you'd have to say that FL would at least be competitive ... :shock: :D

Well - you can see my shapely legs in the Elizabethan photos Jim :wink: I know that Levis were traditionally miner wear and the Cowboys wear Wranglers - so I might buy both :D Actually, in the old West Jeans weren't worn - often it was cordoroy with leather to reinforce the seat :mrgreen:
