cowboys used to have drag shows while out on the trail. i heard this on saturday on NPR, “Wait, wait, don’t tell me!”

no shit, they’d dress in drag and have dances and whatnot.

it didn’t explain if this was out of loneliness or frustration or boredom or some other malady that eludes me.

it also didn’t answer either question that leapt to my mind:
did they take turns?

what exactly, does “whatnot” entail?
