@ZachWeinersmith I feel like I've seen this before. I think it's a scene from a spaghetti western (no I can't remember which). And sorry to disappoint you, but the cowboy isn't naked. The string goes to the period-equivalent of the pant zipper. The reason I remember it so vividly is BECAUSE of this final detail: Until that point, I'd assumed cowboy pants had a smooth crotch area like potato sacks.
