Saturday, June 05, 2004 You can't feed that to a horse!
My high school boyfriend's father had strong feelings on horse people vs. cow people. Cow people were superior, because cows were hardier and less prone to sudden and unexpected death. He cautioned his children not to associate with horse people, because they were snooty.
Here I am, though, surveying the emotional upset in the living room: Smarty Jones (or, you know, his stinkin' jockey) has just lost the Balmont, and the household is working through its feelings in whatever manner seems appropriate. Several of us have tried swearing.
Perhaps the hardest hit of all is Trouble, the kitty-cat. She hates most things. When everyone was yelling at the television, she yelled at all of us, and is still stalking around with her tail all puffy and murder in her withered little heart.
I, for one, knew that poor SmoJo was doomed when they aired footage of him practically surround by nuns! At the racetrack! It's like they were trying to jinx him.
Cow people, at least, do not have to deal with this sort of emotional rollercoaster. posted by Frenz | 6/05/2004 07:03:00 PM
