I recently changed my Skype picture to this one (a bit smaller though). No one at work seems to recognize them, much less guess the movie that this shot is from.
This got me thinking - with all the hype about Brokeback Mountain being the “real” gay cowboy movie, everyone has forgotten about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid .
Just when you thought my argument that Voldemort was a Nazi officer is as far as I wanna go, I take it a step further. I think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was the ORIGINAL gay cowboy movie and Brokeback Mountain is nothing but a copycat.
To make it more scientific, I did a search for more photos from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Here’s what I found! Told ya!
The Oscars are on Sunday so I got just two days to let the truth be known. Spread the word.
Horse apples.
Butch and Sundance were sharing Edda Place (Katherine Ross), though in 1969 you couldn’t show all three in the same bed at once.
Butch was also paying for sex from a pretty young hooker played by Cloris Leachman.
Besides, the Brokeback guys aren’t cowboys…
…they’re SHEEP HERDERS.

AS IT TURNS OUT, EDDA PLACE IS LISTED IN MY FAMILY TREE… SOME SAY THERE WAS ROMANTIC INVOLVMENT WITH BUTCH AND THE KID BUT AS THE STORY IS TOLD IN MY FAMILY… SHE JUST ALLOWED THEM TO HIDE OUT BEHIND HER BARN WHILE THEY WERE RUNNING FROM THE LAW…
STEVE.
I WONDER IF SHE HIDE OUT THERE WITHEM…
