I got a pony

February 6, 2005 1:42 AM

A baby eohippus, neatly saddled with a bar napkin inscribed with my name, just pranced by on the thinnest of air and winked at me, whereupon I had a pony shot in celebration.

I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Down it goes, into my belly...

So, the "pop star tag junkie" comes around, huh? "Crazy fascist likes to lure you in and jump out at you like a jack-in-the-box Mussolini", but turns out to be nicer than the Romanov family in the glory days of yore?

AND THEN YOU SHOOT THE @#*% PONY ONCE IT OPENS ITS LIL' BEADY EYES?

You ungrateful little brat! Just look at everything you have! When I was your age, we...lived in a duplex! We didn't even have our own house!

Woo! I called it!

Woo! An excuse to link to one of my favorite poems.

There was once a little animal, no bigger than a fox,
And on five toes he scampered over Tertiary rocks.
They called him Eohippus and they called him very small,
And they thought him of no value when they thought of him at all...

heh ... interesting that the things that don't need fixing get done the quickest.

I second the shooting of the celebratory pony...thanks Matt!

"interesting that the things that don't need fixing get done the quickest"

The response time to problems that really need fixing are actually pretty good, don't you think? Within hours, usually. If you mean prettier ponies, well, it's in the eye of the beholder.

Anything productive to add, I EAT TAPES?

Ever?

You know, it's never too late to start.

about the "I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Down it goes, into my belly..."...

I had to check this out, and the story is that even this, as dismally low, and without content as it is, is just a quote from a Hollywood film. Wow.

Dreamghost how dare you quote a Hollywood film, you loathsome cad? Real gangsters only regurgitate canned witticisms from reputable sources.

Also, I have to agree with I EAT TAPES insofar as fuck you.

I'm proud of you fellas you all kept your head on a swivel and that's what you gotta do when you find yourself in a vicious cock fight.
