...purchased a pair the next day. Do I hate myself for this moment of sartorial weakness? Do I feel that it displays my mercurial and capricious nature, willing to give up my principles on a moment’s notice, yet unable to individuate myself from the consumerist herd? Yes and Yes. But I already knew I was like that. Anyway, this time around, ankle boots are much more tolerable, and more like a significantly sturdier high-heel. They are generally being shown with skirts as opposed to pants. If they are shown with pants, the pants must be skinny...
...climb aboard an irate bull, riders want the beasts plenty riled up. The bull's performance counts for half the rider's score--out of a possible 100 points--and the harder it bucks the better. Indeed, what separates a star bull from the herd is his ability to get bucky on demand. Each year the bulls are shuttled to dozens of events from California to Connecticut, and one never knows how they will emerge from the ride. "Everywhere we go, the hay and the grain might taste a little different," says Cody Lambert, the PBR's livestock director...
...Drives are organized every two years, taking different routes each time. The next herding adventure is planned between May 5 and June 10, 2007, along the 400-mile Oodnadatta Track. Participants will ride across the seemingly endless plains of the South Australian Desert and skirt the vast expanse of Lake Eyre's salt flats. Although cattle are transported in trucks these days, and make it to market in a matter of hours, doing it the old way takes up to six weeks. But relax: only your guides - drawn from the ranks of Australia's last generation of drovers - will...
Mention the word drive to most Australians, and they'll probably think of Sydney's rush-hour gridlock. But until recent times, the word also referred to the transport of [an error occurred while processing this directive] vast herds of cattle along the outback's traditional stock routes. In an attempt to recapture some of the adventure of a drover's life (a drover is the Australian answer to a cowboy), the Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive offers visitors a chance to ride those same desert trails, accompanying herds up to 500 strong. Drives are organized every two years, taking...
...this will be easy for you. Travel in groups and have the hot ones closer to the door (ladies, you know who you are). Freshmen guys, you will have to develop a bloodhound’s ability to sniff out alcohol. But don’t travel in a herd, for God’s sake. And guys, if you hear of a party in something called the Fox or Porcellian don’t even bother. Girls: Same rules as before, but sluttier. Remember ladies, this is the semester to go to the Delphic, hook up with a senior...
