Okay Mr. Grumpy.

Oh yeah, found this...

You don't have a parrot or anything like that, do you? It needs something to spice it up.


Simon Says Screw Silliness, Suggests Stopping Silly Stories for Spectators

They go unoticed around the country but small bands of degenerates and gamblers are quietly and frantically holding their collective breath and waiting for the running of the 134th Kentucky Derby, sponsored by Yum! brands.

On message boards, at the tracks and OTB's, in their homes and basements thousands are chatting, handicapping and debating in anticipation of Saturday.

Not all are happy campers.

For noted trainer Chuck Simon, of cult-heroine Sumwonlovesyou fame, it's getting to be a bit much.

When asked about the furure of the dying sport and the feel-good stories surrounding this year's run for the roses, Simon suggested that certain features were a little over the top.

"They should do a feature on how these features make me want to shoot myself," Simon replied.

Yeah, a parrot would help.....
