00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.610
Cowboy: First you make your lasso. Then
you throw it.

00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:13.270
City slicker: Than I throw it?

00:00:13.270 --> 00:00:16.960
Cowboy: Well, how-dy! Don't tell me you
don't know when to use "than" and "then"!

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.910
Cowboy: Recognizing the difference between "than" and "then" is tougher than a $2 steak ...

00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:25.369
... but it's something that every cowboy's
just gotta learn.

00:00:25.369 --> 00:00:28.439
Cowboy: "Than" is used when making comparisons.

00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:33.280
"Then" is used when referring to time
or a sequence of events.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:34.790
City slicker: This is tough.

00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:39.700
Cowboy: Yessiree, but if you keep confusing "than" and "then", then you'll keep looking like a big galoot.

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:43.879
Well, then. Let's run through this
one more time.

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:50.300
City slicker: So, first I make a lasso,
then I throw it ... and then what happens?

00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:55.800
Cowboy: Other than that, you just have to
tame this wild mustang with nothing more than your bare hands.

00:00:56.329 --> 00:00:57.600
City slicker: Oh ...

00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.300
Cowboy: And I'd be careful. She looks meaner than a bag of rattlesnakes.

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:08.700
Cowboy: Uh, that's meaner than something
real mean.

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:15.159
City slicker: Lasso, then throw, then tame
a wild mustang with nothing more than my bare hands ...

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
[horse snorts and stamps her hoof]

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.300
City slicker: Whoa! Whooooooooa! .... Ow!

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:28.000
Cowboy: And another chucklehead stops confusing "than" and "then".

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.000
City slicker: I'm OK ...
