Default There is no hope




Saratoga is running, Del Mar is running, it's Haskell weekend ... and the naming of a weanling is the DRF's most popular story?

Jess's Dream sounds kind of cheap...even though Calder based Jj's Dream developed into a millionaire.

At least they didn't give it a stupid French name like Raison d'Etat.

If Patrick Roy is pronounced Patrick Wah ... I remain convinced that name should be pronounced Ray-sawn Day'Twah.

Imagine if Ogden Phipps had an Internet contest to decide the name of his Easy Goer/Personal Ensign foal?

I'll never root for this horse because of the s after the apostrophe.

It sounds like the title of a pop song.

Actually, it's grammatically correct. Stupid name, but grammatically correct.

Congratulations--you have earned the double moron award with only one sentence. The last person to do that was George W. Bush, so the sky is the limit for you.

Druggie? I want to say check, but I don't think I've done a single drug all year and we are through 7 months. I mean, I'm ALWAYS game, but over the last few years ... people almost never offer me anything and I have no connections with people who sell.


Drunkard? I want to say check. I drink every single time I'm ever with my girlfriend... and if she's ever out of ice I scold her.


Atheist? Check. I don't believe in any sky Gods and we are basically meant to be food for worms once we cash in the chips and die.


New Ager? Not sure what the hell that means.


Democrat? Check. My mothers father ran campaigns in the state for Democratic politicians. My fathers father blamed the Republicans for the great depression and was so bitter about it that he never got over it.

P. K? Not sure what that means.

Adulterer? I'd like to think so, if given a good chance and knowing I never will be found out...it's only cheating if you get caught.


Fornicator? Check


Gambler? Check


Pervert? Textbook.


Idolater? Randy Moss


Liberal? On a lot of issues of the day.


High Fullutent Sophisticated Swine? Check


Sports Nut? Check



You're right, that's 10 checks and the jury is still out on a few others.

The worst part about people like that -- is that you know they are secretly at least three or four of the things on that sign.

I prefer to act like a miserable person when I post on the Internet -- but to someone with that belief system...they must live a truly miserable life knowing in their heart they can't come close to meeting their own standard of proper behavior.

It's easy to make fun of how badly the guy butchered one apostrophe after another...but people like that are worse off than someone like me who regrets he isn't 20 of those things.

In a way, this guy is also not very different than a lot of non-religious people. They have a code of conduct for how they believe other people should behave...and they know deep down they don't come close to living up to their own standard they expect from other people.

You definitely have had problems with telling the truth too.

Dahlink apparently some people need hit-you-over-the-head humor or they a. don't get it and b. become defensive.

Your most lame post (is lamest a word? Where is Boggie anyway?) had you ever made one would put to shame the best attempt(s) by certain individuals.

I don't like the name at all (but I do like Union Jackson a lot).

Strong use of apostrophes and misspellings.

I scored a 10, give or take.

An Irish lady I know has a great line about not trusting anyone that doesn't have at least two vices. "I see you don't drink or smoke, I sure hope you gamble and f*ck..."
