This story is all kinds of win.

Never leave the house without your piggin' string.

I spent portions of my summers when i was 14-17 baling hay on a farm owned by friends of my parents. My mother thought it would be a great way to learn what real work is as she grew up on a farm. The lesson I took away from that experience is that one should never, ever tangle with a farm kid. Skills and 'strength' developed on the soccer field aren't much of a match for a kid who deals with 1200 lb cows and throws 100lb bales of hay all day long.

Arrested guy is very lucky they went with 'let's tie him up' instead of 'let's see if we can pull his arms off'.

Balchinian: Cowboys in general will kick your ass, not just ropers. Yeah, they dress in funny clothes and wear sissy boots, talk like they have a mouthful of marbles, and listen to the most gawdawful music, but legitimate cowboys will kick your ass sixteen ways before you can say jack shiat.

Those pansy ass wannabes who live 50 miles from the nearest ranch and have never ridden a horse in their life, though....feel free to pummel them at your leisure.

True enough. You have to go a ways to piss off a real cowboy, but when you do, you'll never want to do it again.

I wonder if they would have branded him if the cops had been a little slower to arrive on scene?

FTFA: Penny was with his brother and father baling hay Monday in a Tulsa field off North Garnett, when he spotted Hulvey stealing his 1997 Buick LeSabre.

Anyone here ever baled hay? I did once - for about 3 minutes before I was exhausted.
Also how desperate does the thief need to be to steal a 1997 Buick LeSabre?

The 6-foot-5-inches, 240-pound Penny then yanked Hulvey out of the car.

lol, man did this guy pick the wrong person to steal from!

Yep! Hauled hay once, for a week back in the seventies when I had a healthy teen-aged back. Hardest money I ever made. I even had a snake come slithering out of one of the bales as I was tossing it up to the stacker. He just caught the bale and let it continue on to fly off the other side of the truck!

mr_a: A cowboy driving a Buick LeSabre? The carjacker probably figured it belonged to some little old lady. Cowboys are supposed to drive old pickup trucks.

when you're around that tall, you'll find that some trucks are painful to drive due to the shiat stuck in the center console causing you to loose leg or knee room

fords are real bad about this

buick le sabres on the other hand don't have that problem

6'7" last car as a le sabre, current car is a chevy cruze

Rofl, really?

"Excuse me while I whip this out!"

Big deal. I leave thugs suspended in Batman: Arkham City all the time.

Smart AND effective! Well done!

I wear a cowboy hat when I do my motorsports thing, which involves standing the the sun or the rain for eight hours. When its 100+ and nary a cloud in the sky, you want all the shade you can get.

Funny, that's exactly the kind of situation that gave rise to that hat in the first place.

/go drive I-70 through the state and tell me there's no horses or cows or rodeos
