i declare today...

Cloudy's right. There are a few things that can actually cause your bones to form incorrectly and uglify body parts. Dancing is one of them for feet - especially ballet. Where the body's weight is placed is completely unnatural and screw everything up.

Riding horses with a saddle too much when you're young can also cause problems. The stirrups can cause the bones to deform. As can the boots if you happen to be riding hunter style.

Yep. I'm just a tad bowlegged, too. Riding AND ballet - what a combo. :rolleyes:

Heh.

i used to be on horseback 3-4 hours a day when school was in session. At least 8 hours a day when it wasn't, usually more. The only reason i'm not bowlegged now is the fact that i had to re-learn how to walk while pregnant.

When I was still doing the rodeo thing, a few years back, I would ride four hours in the morning, then go in to work at noon and work until ten. OR work until five, then ride until it got dark.

When it stopped being fun, I stopped riding that way.

i would do that, given the chance. Sometimes it's just more comfortable to be horseback.

Cool. :)

I miss the money from the races, but if I was honest, it was probably costing as much to keep me in equipment, high-protein feed for my horse, etc., as I won.

I still ride, just don't compete anymore.

Cloudy,

Have you spoken to, you know, Shang about this particular, uh, aspect of your past?

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

I think Shang knows. :D

Rodeo was a HUGE part of my life for so many years that it tend to creep into conversations eventually.

Rodeo can be addictive. Way back when, I rode bulls. Well, let me restate that: I tried to ride bulls. But I'm too damn short legged to have ever been any good. Mother Nature intended me to be a football lineman, not the second coming of Jim Shoulders. At least that's my excuse for being a three-second star, and I'm sticking to it.

Rumple (rode hard and put up wet) Foreskin :cool:

"They don't last long, either."

The oft-stated reply to said remark.

Cute, mat!

My first thought on opening the first one: Ohm.

Yeah, it does look like I'm praying... :D
Not quite my intention. I couldn't come up with an interesting pose...
