Here is the video of it. The sound is messed up.

This dog is a poor starter and strong finisher... with a 3 length lead on the first turn like she had -- she would have killed that field had she not run into the rabbit.

My girlfriend insists this dog will never win another race because she finally caught the rabbit she's been chasing her whole life ... and now she's found out that "greyhound racing is a scam! The bunny rabbit isn't real!"

She liked Cedar Point ... just not any of the five or six sensational rides that makes Cedar Point the best amusement park in the world.

I did trick her into riding the Millennium Force ...



But after that, I couldn't get her on any of the best rides other than the Raptor.

She was even affraid of the freaking Flying Swings.

I tried to carry her into the line for the Tower of Power and she started punching me.



She was saying something about motion sickness ... but all you do on that thing is fall straight down. It's not even like a roller coaster with all kinds of crazy twists, turns, hills, and drops.

Maybe she is just uncomfortable, frightened, uninterested, whatever about those rides and you should just respect that, instead of challenging her all the time.

Oh yeah, you are an idiot. I forget that you are unable to cater to people's quirks and whims if you don't understand them.

Maybe you should marry her before it's too late dude.

He's just jealous because prior to her ... I had believed IC was really my one true soulmate.

How many tens of thousands of dog races have you seen since you've moved to Florida ... and how many times did you see a dog actually hit the mechanical rabbit?

It's not that I hate her. I just have no respect for women, or anyone really, that goes out with people that she's attracted to.

More like brothers, in your words.

However, I'm pretty sure you will eventually piss her off to the point you did to me as well.

It is inevitable.

So you respect people that go out with someone they're not attracted to? I'm confused.

Sorry. Meant to say to the TYPE of people that she happens to be attracted to. The type meaning self absorbed and unable to see the world beyond their own immediate needs. And wants. The type who thinks if another person needs something that they don't understand, will just be dismissive.

She seems like a nice enough gal however, so who knows, maybe she can invoke change.

Or maybe they'll just need to compromise and take separate vacations. ;) I have a friend whose been married for over 30 years and for most of that time she and her husband have had separate APARTMENTS. Works out brilliantly for them.

I do think 2 bathrooms go a long way towards forestalling a lot of divorces.
