This may have been a typo for "good cowboys." Good cowboys with
parachutes are smokejumpers (see the book "Young Men and Fire").
In the performing world they can be seen in action when a country
and western band's pyrotechnics ignite the amphitheater, and the
guitarist puts his parachute on his vintage Gibson, tosses it off
the stage, and then jumps after it.
Say, is it time yet to talk about buying dynamite for DS'09 at
Home Depot?
