What the gently caress does this mean?



Went to a LongHorn Steakhouse in Cherry Hill, NJ today for fathers day. This is what you see when you leave the mens room. I could not get it out of my mind the entire meal. I continually thought about bringing it up to my mother, but balked every time. She was a teacher, the question would have made her anxious.

Is it two messages combined, missing punctuation? Either way I don't understand the second part. Also, I don't like its toxic masculinity filtered through hallmark vibe.

What is this brown and beige, steakhouse poster insinuating? Explain it to me like I am some sort of colossal idiot.

The first part is saying that a true cowboy doesn't make a big deal of his accomplishments even when they take a lot of effort/sacrifice. The second part is a lot weirder; I guess they're saying that even though a cowboy knows he can beat the competition, he still recognizes that there's always room for personal improvement?

Weird sentiment, but I don't see anything grammatically incorrect about it, other than I guess the use of "that" instead of "who."

“Be humble and try your best.”

You should complain to management about that toxic hate speech OP. Maybe start a protest of the restaurant.

i think the 2nd part is more like a message about standing on the shoulders of giants, you acknowledge and improve the work of those who came before, and know that someday you will be surpassed as well, when it comes to corralling steers

I will accept for a moment that these are just two concepts. How they join is not important right now. With that now being the case, I am fine with the first part. That leaves us with:

"A true cowboy...

...believes he did better than first but worse than last." - Cowboy quote

I can only read this as a contradiction. You can't be both. So, is the cowboy saying that he is either better than first, or worse than last? Meaning in multiple scenarios? Being a cowboy is about dealing only in extremes?

Oh snap. The cowboy is saying that he has had a long, experienced life. He's seen it all. He has been a success and a failure. Your post made it click, thank you so much. I feel an immense relief.

yeah it could also be about the cowboy's own personal improvement over time, at corralling steers

You're overthinking it OP, there simply lies a genuine Interstellar moment between those two sentences. At the heart of your ranching paradox - time dilation. Must feel feel weird to experience that little maneuver firsthand, huh?

I assume the Ram Ranch is a competitor to the Longhorn Steakhouse. The name suggests that mutton is the main meat on the menu. The quote suggests they also serve rooster.

it's pretty cool that there was a person called Cowboy Quote, and they happened to have opinions on cowboys

e: there's a subtly different sign in another steakhouse, op



why do you think they had different sizes of this quote framed?

This means that when you tell a Cowboy that the Cowboy mythos is all made up and in reality the type of cowboys they celebrate were all about raping and killing and generally being above-the-law misogynist racist assholes, they'll deny it (saying it was "nothing" even though it was everything)

Swollen with liquid
Ready to burst
A load of my lymph
Will quench this dead body's thirst
One month in the grave
Twisted and half decayed
She turned a putrid yellow
I pissed in her maggot filled rear end in a top hat
loving the rotting
My semen is bleeding
The smell of decay
Seeps from her genital cavity
The smell was unbearable as I unburied her
Get along little doggies
