“this ain't the 4-H rodeo at the Pocahontas County Fair.... this is horse racing”
“It hit me that being hip was a full-time job, and I was only a part-timer. I couldn't hide forever that I liked county fairs, particularly the goat booth at the 4-H tent, or that I once spent a week with my grandmother at her house in the giant retirement community of Sun City, Arizona, and it was one of the most carefree times of my life.”
“This ain't my first rodeo!".~R. Alan Woods [1999]”
“Don't fuck with me, fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo.”
“I became known as Lily Casey, the mustang-breaking, poker-playing, horse-race-winning schoolmarm of Coconino County, and it wasn't half bad to be in place where no one had a problem with a woman having a moniker like that.”
“They examine me like I’m a cow at a 4-H auction. I try not to moo.”
