    Well that's just dumb.


    Okay, the horse has a taste for "meat," now. Is he the alpha predator in the pasture now? Are there great big flat-toothed bite marks on the asses of the local cattle?

    Hmm, and I thought that was the latest retro-styled Mustang concept.

    Back in the '80s there was a show called That's Incredible!, and one of their features was on a horse who drove a specially-modified Lincoln (I think it was a suicide-door Continental, but I'm not sure). I wish I could find a video of it, because it was really neat.

    I didn't know how this was at all Jalop related until after I saw the modified car. Then I got it.

    For tips on modifying the suspension, the Thompsons consulted with the company that provides buses for the WNBA

    I'm sort of surprised nobody's made a comment like all the benefits of a woman, without the incessant yapping!


    Well, maybe not all the benefits. Oh wait, two guys who live together with only the horse for company, somewhere in the south? Yeah, never mind - all the benefits.

    If I had a pony

    I'd ride him on my boat

    And if i had a boat

    I'd sail it out to sea

    Think I might detail my paint job with a propane torch this weekend.

    I never thought that horses were carnivores.
    I find the idea of feeding him burgers gross.


    Everything else is pretty cool though.

    Finally, an animal that really earns its oats, uh, cheeseburgers. But fetching a beer is what keeps him from going to the glue factory. If only he could drive me back from the bar.


    For further study: is raising a race of carniverous horses really the best thing for humans?
