I am still laughing at this, and had to pass it on. For anyone that is playing Oblivion right now, you have to read this... and for those that aren't (and why not?) you will probably get a few chuckles anyway.

Yes. Quite funny.

Say...I just noticed that my cat has a black eye....I wonder....nah....

THE BALLAD OF THE COWPUNCHER
by Genny Haley

I am an old cowpuncher, I punch them cows so hard
I have me a cowpunching bag, set up in my back yard
This bag is made of leather, and so are cows, of course
When I get tired of punching cows, I go and punch a horse

One day as I was punching upon my leathern cow
An Indian walked up to me, and first he asked me, 'How.'
I said it was quite simple, and gave him quite a slug
The very next words that Indian said to me that day were, 'Ugh!'

I went back to my punching, as all good cowboys do
When a well-known band of rustlers came rustling into view
I said, 'Hello, how are you, and what might bring you here?'
They said, 'If it's all right we'd like to rustle up some steer.'

I said, 'Oh no kind sirs, that should never be
For I am the best cowpuncher out on the whole prairie
But if you will sit down a spell, I'll rustle up some lunch
Then maybe in the afternoon you'll get to watch me punch.'

I've been lonesome in the saddle ever since my old horse died
And sometimes, when it's late at night, I dream she's by my side
So If you'll pay attention, and listen to my song
I am an old cowpuncher and a long, long way from home.

The Auld Grump, who heard this from Roberts & Barrand

*EDIT* As an aside (can an aside be closer to the main topic than the post forceding?) - I wasted many a happy hour playing Daggerfall. That was a game built for tourists!
