having never met the horse, she at least seems appropriately named!

back when i got to meet the all time great horse indian charlie, shortly before his mile allowance win (start #3), i got to tour the rest of the baffert barn.

the one horse i'd have liked to have had as a pet was holy nola. every time i tried to stop petting her, she would nuzzle up to me and beg me to pet her some more. she was very sweet and cute.

in retrospect, maybe this post should have been placed in the best date thread.

Of course,

He doesn't know this, but, the only reason I refused his payment is because I thought we'd merely suggested the bet and not actually agreed upon it.

Being the cheapskate that I am, I would have never accepted even money on that head-to-head bet...like he belived I did. I would have relentlessly chiseled him into giving me the best odds I could get out of him.


Since I probably never would have paid him had SK beaten Giacomo --- it would have been a serious breach of honor and ettiqute among horseplayers to accept his payment.


And considering the fact that very late in the '06 Saratoga meet, I went into his appartment when he wasn't there, and stole some of his toilet paper and used his toothpaste when mine ran out --- it would have been a monumental breach to accept his money.

But yeah, he's probably not convinced of my cheapness.

Default Quickest one i've ever been on

The Kings Plaza diner on avenue U off of Flatbush avenue.I had answered a personal ad (dumb schmuck idea).I meet this woman who said she was my age but had to be at least 7 to 10 years older than me,and she looked like a Beaver because of her teeth .We sit down for a cup of coffee and i just couldn't go through with it.Fortunately the waitress helps me out too and says she really needs the table for people who are going to have a meal and me being the consumate gentleman agree with her,and i tell the girl it was nice meeting her but i'm not interested.The whole date took about 15 minutes.In fact it took longer to post this than the date itself

YES!!! I wish Sighty-poo would return to grace us with more of her dating adventures.


What I was trying to say, though, was that I would be interested in using google maps to tour the area of Ohio where you thwarted the crazed Canadians.

It was on State Road in Cuyahoga Falls....but they haven't filmed there yet...so......we can't see it.

But I do recall the cops getting there and talking to the manager for a description.....he told them there were 4 BIG Canadians...the one who got out and broke the glass was HUGE---about 6-6 and 300 pounds at least.


The cops asked him which way the headed out....the manager said west.




The cops jumped in their squad cars with lights and sirens blasting......and headed east.
