But in their Texan history books the cowboy wasn't invented until Walker Texas Ranger aired on TV in 1809. It's an undisputed fact.

You obviously don't live in Texas but if you knew anything rodeo you'd know that world class riders and bull riders are Brazilian, Mexican, etc. Most of Texas that you would "classify" as cowboys know exactly how it came to be.

Ahh, but you missed the joke in the comment you replied to - he was kidding when he said the show Texas Ranger aired on TV in 1809.

Everyone knows that show didn't come on TV until after the failed British attempts to take over the airports in 1812.

Damn. And I was just going to bring up those airports. Moot anyway since that's common knowledge. Just like the Bowling Green massacre.

It wasn't very good - went to cable only when the Emancipation Proclamation was announced by Lincoln. You didn't miss much.

Well maybe if you went to history class in 1813, you know the one taught by George Washington you'd understand
