I love horses

Post by Episcopus »

Before anybody says anything, I am causing no trouble because I know that all you great textkit people as observed through the Crazy Lions saga love an odd flash as much as anybody.

I purchased a Greek dictionary a week ago and yesterday decided not to do it. That is one great bummer. This little clip, to which UK fans can relate more (it's part of an awesome advert!) almost healed me.

Click on it about 27 times. Perhaps I should go to sleep. Either I have problems in finding this funny or every one will unexpectedly adulate it as you did with the tigers. Who knows. :wink:

I particularly like the "they're my friend" part.

Totally clueless American here regarding the "advertisment" <---- pronounced with a British accent.

I love horses, used to own one. How did this heal you? And what does a dictionary have to do with this? :lol:

When i was about four or five and i got my first pony, i would have demanded that silly magazine from my parents every week.

possibly not something i should admit to in public.

are horses really 'the best of all the animals' ?

what about the LLAMAS? are they not just as special and dear? I think so.

But do llamas have a catchy little sound bite? Besides, it's clear that llamas take second place to the Majestic Moose.

Both llamas and moose are represented properly in Monty Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail. And yes, the llama music is quite catchy.

Why does everyone love horses so much?

I will just not answer that.

This dictionary is officially in my house http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 01-3610205

I hate waste, it ravages me not to do Greek so I retire to crazy hooks about horses.

*Tada!*

NOBODY expects the Spanish inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise... and fear... That is, our two chief weapons are surprise and fear... And ruthless efficiency... Our THREE weapons are surprise, fear, and ruthless efficiency. And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope! :? Our FOUR wea... No, AMONGST our weapons are surprise, fear... Darn.

Yes, and we'd like it back, please. Also, the parrot.

Um...and the Moose. And don't forget the llamas.

Oh! and the horses! Mustn't forget the horses!

(What sort of camp makes you audition to get in??)

We apologize for the preceding posts which failed
to properly adulate the equestrian breeds.

Those responsible have been sacked.

We will now resume the thread in the proper manner.

Again, we apologize to all the equine lovers.

...

I love horses,
... best of all the animals!
I love horses,
... they taste great!

This is the silliest thread we've ever done. Much sillier than whiskey.
