I Have No Taste

26 May 2010 2 Comments

If I bought a small gray pony, I’d name him Shrink Wrap.

Just saying.

On the other hand, there was once a British Thoroughbred racehorse whose jockey wrote his name on his stall as “Potoooooooo.”

The owner had an awesome sense of humor and kept the spelling. You’re more likely to see it in its shortened form as—you guessed it—Pot8os.

Sorry. I had to share. It makes me laugh.

I think you’ve got a great sense of humor. Shrink Wrap is a great name and I do like Pot8o too. I can never come up with clever names. Just ask my kids.

You have great taste.  Perfect name for a gray pony.  I’d probably name a gray pony “Green Day”, since that would be his most usual color.  Ice Chip?  Elbow Grease?

I perfectly understand buying the pickup to pull the tailer we don’t own for the horse we don’t yet have. 

I have lists of names for all the horses I don’t own yet.  It’s probably PTSD from having owned a horse named “Spitz”.
