$6,000 in Hats, Zero Cowboys
BIG SKY, MT- Fresh from the Lucchese store and wearing a combined $6,000 in perfectly unscuffed cowboy hats, a visiting family of four announced they were ready to “do Montana right” by settling into patio seating at a downtown steakhouse. Witnesses said the group spent the meal debating which hats looked “most ranch” while carefully removing them before the crème brûlée course.
We know, we know — this story is like beating a dead horse in a Stetson. But The Daily Poser publishes it in the faint hope that the actual family reads this and, in a future trip, chooses to spend that money on something less… theatrical. If this keeps even one tourist from blowing a mortgage payment on hats and walking around town looking like an extra from a Yellowstone casting call, that’s a small win for society.
Locals report the family paused multiple times for posed “candid” photos in front of a distant Lone Peak, hat brims turned just so, before retreating to their Airbnb “Cowboy Loft” above a bunch of piles of dirt and wastewater run-off.
“Locals report the family paused multiple times for posed “candid” photos in front of a distant Lone Peak.”
When asked about their plans, the dad said, “We’re hoping to spot some real cowboys.” Locals suggest they look in the mirror — not to find one, but to see $6,000 worth of reasons why they won’t.
