    Professional cowboy lassoes would be bike thief

    A guy tried stealing a woman's bike in a Wal-Mart parking lot, and the professional cowboy Robert Borba lassoed him before he could get away, and held him until police arrived.

    Pretty freaking awesome if you ask me.

    I live in Wyoming. WTF is a "professional cowboy"?
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Well, there are two types of professional cowboys. The ones that ride at rodeos professionally, and the ones who are actual cowboys, that literally round up cows on ranches.

    Edit: The two groups aren't always mutually exclusive.

    What a genius, "I can't get away on a bike! I know, I'll outrun him!"

    As someone that has done a fair share of roping; I have an irrational distaste for the word "lasso."

    I imagine someone who handles cattle for a living? If not someone who professionally entertains people with wild west shows and/or historical enactments. We've got at least one place near Houston that does this.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
