that’s a mother buckin’ mare

In response to today’s (or this week’s, or this month’s) tagline, an alert reader sent me the following joke:

A boy is dressed up as a pirate and rings the neighbor’s doorbell.
After he sayis the traditional, “Trick-or-Treat”, the woman who answered the door asks him, “Where are your buccaneers, matey?” to which he responds: “On my buckin HEAD, lady!”

Now, of course, the tagline is a line from a song by Robert Earl Keen, That Buckin’ Song. To read the whole song (I’d sing it, but well, you know) keep reading.

Artist: Keen Robert Earl
Song: That Buckin’ Song
Album: Walking Distance

I had a horse
named Bad Luck
She weren’t good lookin’
but she sure could buck

Chorus
Yahoo hey hey
Yippee yi cy yey

I put my mama on her
She threw her in the air
My mama said son
“that’s a mother buckin’ mare”
