You'll have to use the "Other" option and list who your other is. I was limited to 10 options and figured he's had the least buzz the last few weeks.

Kris S. I need to remember where I snatched that from. Didn't realize I lopped his ears off when I cut it down for resizing.

You use such colorful words, wallinga, what's a mocker?

It's when a punter declares a certain horse will win and Jinxes it. Sorry I tend to whack a fair bit of aussie slang in.

Oh don't worry about Aussie slang, I'm from Scotland and I've spent most of my adult life in Canada, so I haven't got the hang of American slang yet, I'm always confused about what things mean.

And Sam, you mean Kris S.'s ears aren't straight across the top?

You know, for as much as I adore a good mule, it's a wonder I'm not a bigger Pleasant Colony fan. Have you seen the set he wore? Bet he could pick up radio signals from Hawai'i with those thing.

Oh I did...but how quickly we forget!
If he can get his gawky ass straight....I betcha...
Actually, being flaky is a really bad thing on Derby Day, so if his next start isn't more professional... I might jump off his bandwagon too.

Pleasent Coloney's ears actually flopped when he walked, I was in the barn next door at Keenland that year and not knowing who he was then I thought he was the uglyist thing I had ever seen in a horse suit. :lol:

I have fallen in love with a gorgeous jack in Missouri. I think I need to find a nice PC or Behrens mare to send to him.
