I disagree about the rolling up impression you got. I thought he was just rank.

However, the real reason I'm responding is that I was trying to figure out how to get that little accent mark over the e in Miserables last night, but couldn't do it!

What's your secret?

go to Start Menu->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map

from there you can copy any character to the clipboard and paste them anywhere

like this: é

The diacritical mark? Put an acute accent over the "e", like so.... é
:rolleyes:

* Actually i wasn't sure how to spell miserable so i copied-n-pasted it from google.

BTW did he scratch, or plan on it?

we've rescued our share of turtles from the middle of the hiway, tony is a turtle nut...

as for electronics, i check out the ps2 games...but that's about it.

Must admit, I too have done the turtle rescue thing, but I'm not too sure that doing it is a good thing. There's the danger of getting hit by a car and the added danger of being bitten by the turtle. Most of those that I have rescued are harmless box turtles, but a few have been snappers and they don't care whether you're trying to help them or not, they just want to take a plug out of you. My 5 year old grandson loves turtles, frogs, snakes, whatever. I took him to the Bass-Pro shop in Springfield, Mo this past weekend. Bass Pro shop had some live turtles and next door in a natural history type museum they had a giant alligator snapping turtle with a head as big around as my leg. My grandson was blown away.

Yeah, I'm not without sense when i help something out. I live in a pretty rural area, so my risk of getting hit by a car is minimal, even with the high nascar fan/redneck % here.

The snapper was just a baby as well. I'm pretty experienced with handling animals, as I've even captured by hand a few rattlesnakes, back when I was a bit more wreckless.

Cats though? Now those are critters you gotta be careful with!

Cows too. I was almost murdered once by a stampeding herd while fishing the Owens river in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. That was one of the most surreal and unnerving experiences of my entire life!

yeah, we're in a very rural setting as well. i'm not going to be dodging traffic ala sylvester the cat trying to rescue a turtle.
we actually had two box turtles living in my garden tub for a month--both sons in boy scouts, and they were trying to earn the reptile and amphibian merit badge--and altho i don't have a problem with snakes, i don't necessarily want them residing IN my house for a month. so, we lined the tub with paper, added in dirt, moss, etc. a box for privacy, food, water etc...evidentally they were pretty content, as we did find out eventually that one was a male, and one a female.

When I was 9, I got attacked by a rooster when I went to go feed my pony. :( I've also been trampled by a horse. Nature is mean.

I see Steve doesn't have time to moderate these threads.

I see that your posts are still pretty pointless and rather stupid.

I guess it balances out.

What do you mean by 'attacked'? Maybe he mistook you for a hen? :)

From the looks of things, both of our mishaps with animals happened with domestic animals, not wild ones.

Attacks by Roosters occur more often than one would think, my best friend in high school had a small scar on her face from being attacked too. I think some get overly territorial or something (having never discussed this with a rooster I can only guess). They will dig their talons into you (in this case my winter jacket) while pecking and wildly flap their wings.

good thing you do :rolleyes:

Ronnie The Limo Driver?

Tiz Wonderful,hands down!

Stunt Man wins...11-1 in a field of 4.

he ran a lot better than i expected, but still, blech.

what was flores doing on EZW?

was that just a workout for EZW?

it looks like your god has abandoned you.

Even easier, just hold the ALT key and then press 0233 on the number pad on your keyboard (for whatever reason, it doesn't work on this computer using the numbers on the top of the letters -- not sure if it ever does...).

Used to have to type it for French papers all the time, and got sick of finding it on the character map.

éééé

Just go nuts.

Tiz Wonderful was vanned off

Who would have seen that one coming?

seriously? you arent joking, are you?

that just sucks. that horse should never have been brought back after his race against street sense. probably shouldnt have been brought back then either.

i only saw the race on youbet, were those front wraps?

i can think of 2 people that spring to mind.

oops, i read your post wrong. make that 'i can only think of 2 that couldn't'

It's on the chart.....

A sentence from a bloodhorse article:

John Velazquez, who rode Tiz Wonderful, told Verderosa he felt “something pop” as he was galloping back to be unsaddled.

Tiz Wonderful vanned off according to Haskin.. Any updates?

Oh.. and is there something I should have moderated that I should know about? Pais was at the KEE sale the last few days so you kids are playing with moderate supervision.. Be good...

(And Nicole... Rooster attack? Tramplings? Puh-leeaze... that's nothing. Just remember what 'KYRIM' has been through...) :eek:

did you enjoy the sales sessions?

as far as moderation is concerned, as long as nascar is not talked about, i'm happy!

This clip reminds me of KYRIM.

Attachment 514

The owners and trainers should be ashamed of themselves for Tiz Wonderfuls demise.

that was pretty much what i was inferring in my original post.

by demise, do you mean that his demise as a racehorse, or that he ended up dying?

Just the constant beating he took as a racehorse. He was in a butchershop to begin with, hyped up, and really had nowhere to go but down.

I dont know if hes still with us, but I havent heard anything to the contrary. Hopefully hes not insured

I suppose in order to make an assertion that Tiz Wonderful's connections should be ashamed of themselves one has to assume that Steve Asmussen knowingly put Tiz Wonderful on the track when injured. I am no great Steve Asmussen fan, but is it possible to have that knowledge as just a racing fan?

I'd say no, especially given that Tiz Wonderful's supposed injury happened after the running of the More Than Ready today. We've gone over Tiz Wonderful's performance in the Jim Dandy, so there's no need doing that again. However, today he did not run a bad race at all. He lost to a horse who was definitely improving a bit more than I anticipated, but it's not like Tiz Wonderful disgraced himself.

I'm wondering how much the collective feelings on this board about the whole Tiz Wonderful situation has to do with Asmussen himself and his checkered past. While Asmussen's horrendous record in terms of drug positives and suspensions is indefensible, I just don't see how he can be blamed or should feel ashamed for the way he handled Tiz Wonderful.
