I played a great horse yesterday! It took seven horses to beat him.
The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.
My horse's jockey was hitting the horse. The horse turns around and says "Why are you hitting me, there is nobody behind us!"
That was the first time I saw a horse start from a kneeling position!
My horse was so late getting home, he tiptoed into the stable.
I don't mind when my horse is left at the post. I don't mind when my horse comes up to me in the stands and asks, "Which way do I go?" But when the horse I bet on is at the $2 window betting on another horse in the same race...
Hotel Jokes

    friend-ranking is for hollywood deadbeats

    ...and "hollywood deadbeat" stopped describing me at least a year ago. So no, my "top 8" represents nothing more than the caprice of some myspace algorhythm. Just saying is all.
