We already know that rodeos are great. But some of the best parts of rodeos aren’t even the sporting competitions. It’s the little stuff, like trying to put pants on a calf, or watching kids eat shit while trying to rope a goat. Or ... musical chairs.

A brief word of advice for anyone competing in a rodeo musical chairs competition:

DON’T STEAL OTHER PEOPLE’S CHAIRS. IT MAY SEEM CUTE BUT IT WILL END BADLY. VERY BADLY. HOW BADLY?
