Who is upset about Blitz being an ass?

 

It's not as if anyone around here seriously gets upset about what someone says on an anonymous message board, right?

 

:D

 

 

I know I said I was done but I'm back!!!! Just cause of you Squeeg. I couldn't tell were you pointing fingers? :D

 

Squeegie gets my vote ...irish gave it a good ride as well

 

 

I love to give it a good ride, especially if Sqeegie's involved.

 

Blitz proving that he's either the Huddle's greatest fisherman or biggest jackass. The jury's still out.

 

 

Judge Irish (I was given this title by Menudo so any complaints should be forwarded to him :clap: ) ruled on this case already. The rest was just after hours partying!! :tup: Oh and by the way one of my nicknames in the past was Horse-Face, just thought it had some relevance.

This thread could shift directions once again. It's like an F5 Tornado.

 

 

I don't know about you but I'm having a blast!! :D As long as it's all in fun, let it ride. If people are going to take this sh1t to heart they should get out. I'm in it for the long haul, the whole race until they have to put me down. :bash:

Barbaro's legacy shall live on:

 

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - A Florida race track is honoring Barbaro by establishing a scholarship in his name.

Officials say the award will be worth at least $20,000 and will go to high school students planning to study veterinary medicine at the University of Florida.

 

Last year's Kentucky Derby winner yesterday lost his fight to survive a serious injury.

 

The horse had strong ties to the Sunshine State and a large fan base, Gulfstream Park spokesman Mike Mullaney said. Barbaro, who was euthanized Monday after complications from his gruesome breakdown at last year's Preakness, secured his Derby spot after winning the $1 million Florida Derby at Gulfstream.

 

"The sacrifices of owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, and the enormity of their colt's contribution to the sport, and the courage of all involved, have been inestimable," Gulfstream Park president Bill Murphy said. "The Barbaro story went beyond racing. It held us all in its grip for eight months."

And here I was thinking the owners were cruel. Pushed him too hard with too many races in too short a time frame and then put him through hell in an attempt to keep him alive so he could stud and generate more revenue. I'm not thinking that Roy and Gretchen Jackson made any "sacrifices" or were even the least bit humane. Furthermore, I'm sure they won't feel like they are sacrificing anything when the insurance check comes in.

Barbaro's legacy shall live on:

 

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - A French restaurant is honoring Barbaro by establishing a scholarship in his name.

 

Officials say the award will be worth at least $20,000 and will go to high school students planning to study culinary arts at the Sorbonne.

 

Last year's Kentucky Derby winner yesterday won his fight to become a tasty entree'.

 

The horse had strong ties to the Meat Packing Industry and a large fan base of gourmands, spokesman Mike Mullaney said. Barbaro, who was eaten Monday after completing months of preparation (including being tenderized for years with a whip and then spending long periods suspended in a pool of marinating sauces), secured his spot in culinary history at dinner last night.

 

"The seasoning techiniques of owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, and the enormity of their colt's contribution to the culinary arts, and the appetites of all involved, have been inestimable," Gulfstream Park president Bill Murphy said. "The Barbaro story went beyond mere eating. It held us all in the grip of culinary ecstasy for almost an hour."

 

Diners especially enjoyed the sommelier's pairing of Barbaro with a 1996 Barbera.

 

:D
