Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

January 14, 2013 By 30 Comments

This week’s assignment from the League: Cowboys

cowboys

Last week’s topic was a little vague, and the vagueness continues this week! This week’s assignment from the League of Extraordinary Bloggers, if you’re man (or woman) enough to accept it:

–

“Cowboys.”

—

Are you starting to see a theme here? Stick with it this month and I think you’ll be happy with the results.

league logo Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

      Very excited to hear your Django podcast on Cult Film Club. If I had known, I would have bumped this week’s topic to next week!

    I thought I’d do better with cowboys than with spies… I’ll let you guys be the judge. Love the entries I’ve seen so far!

    Yes I recycle! Saddled this one up 6 months ago…maybe we’ll get some action in the comments section this time!

    Cowboys vs. Aliens definitely ain’t a new concept. Here’s three 80s animated classics for proof!

      I was hoping we’d see you around these parts this week. I was expecting a Young Guns post, but this is even better! 😉

    I went a bit off the rails with my tribute to the SilverHawks Col. Bluegrass, the original space cowboy.

    Jon, that is amazing. I haven’t checked in with a League post in a while, and I figured this was the week to hop back in. My first thought when I saw the topic was “Bluegrass”. I scroll through the submissions and see this! Awesome.

    Maybe I can put together a Wild Bill retrospective…

    I went a little dark this week. Maybe I should have just posted some cowboy wrestlers.
