Here gimme the phone
Hey tramp take a bath in puke
What’s more you can kiss where the sun don’t shine
If that don’t work we can duke
You see the only kind of man that’d play with you
Is one that plays with himself
None of my friends could stand the sight of you
Much less the smell
And if I wasn’t a lady I’d take my money
And buy you a brand new face
Then I’d take my underwear and stick it in your mouth
And you’d love it cuz you got no taste
And if that don’t work call back your dead Daddy
And show what you look like now
Honey I bet he’d never come back cuz you one ugly cow

TLE, don’t worry girl. We know what time it is, don’t we?

p.s. Moesha … I hope you listened to Vanity 6 “back in the day.”

… Wouldn’t it be something if you found out that in real life I chased the neighbor kids off my lawn and made crank phone calls?

I’ll play and answer a few, since I can’t possibly single out all the wonderful horses & people I’ve met here:

2. Which thread impacted me the most?
   The one that spawned “The Inverness Problem” because it caused me to wonder just what it is that my doctor sees…

3. The topic that gave me nightmares:
   Gotta go with the Musical Jumper saga, especially because I’d sent her my Pessoa pad that she wanted, when I probably should’ve been doing something else.

4. Most inspirational poster:
   Reginapony. The embodiment of the Triumph of the Human Spirit.

5. Who needs to visit a sanitarium?
   Oh, that would be me. Can someone give me a ride?

6. Who do I want to be in my next life?
   Jair. I KNEW I should’ve stuck with that archaelogy major in college!

7. Most memorable event on the BB?
   Lord Helpus’ amazing feat (along with her unsung heroes behind the scenes) who put together the virtual horse show for charity.

8. What would I like to change on the BB?
   Have Infopop install some sort of truth serum filter so when a mean-spirited troll comes on, or someone who’s blatantly lying about themself and their accomplishments/knowledge/experience, the words they type will be in neon pink.

9. Has there been any change in the way I live due to the BB?
   Yes. I no longer fear Canadians.

They don’t hate you! It was most annoying USER NAME, not user. And I believe it’s Stupid Child who got the majority of the votes, not you!

There are people who don’t like my user name either. But, to be quite honest… I really don’t care.

Well, I can tell you from the eventers who have jumped in here, there is a lot of respect for good hunter and good jumper rounds from all of us… and dat’s the truth!

Why does Ryan hate me user name?!?!
Ridin Horses is what I love, that’s why my Bailey is from heaven above!!
Look mommy!! He’s wearing bellbottoms!!!

[CharleyHorse]

I just want to say that the answer to every question here has SOMETHING to do with the Helmet Threads! LoL

Don’t you just love it when you try to talk to your school friends about horses and they just have this completely lost look on their face…and then they say…“So have you ever jumped ten feet?”

[InWhyCee]

Hello… Is Jimmy there?
Yes, but he’s taking a shower.
Oh, I see. Did he just take out the trash?
No, that’s something he used to do; now he’s taking out me.
Oh, I see… could you tell him he left his pants over last night?
That’s OK, you can keep 'em; he won’t be needing 'em tonight…

I’d go on, Robbie dear, but I bet you know the rest… and that Prince was the other girl

complicated. I suppose
that’s why I prefer

mini… you can have your 1 straight man… I can name a dozen who event… and most are nice to look at too! HA! so there

Big headed? Are you referring to Moesha again?? And speaking of venus flytraps, darlin’ you need a new act. He may be 1 straight man, but most of them won’t go for that. As for looking good vs. feeling good… uh, weren’t you the one I was getting the hand-me-down for?

luv ya!

don’t go makin’ generalizations about VPLs around here! You won’t see any on this eventers arse! (ok so that’s one clique I could become a member of)

And no, Moesha, that look is classy, workman, do-it-yourself all the way. No paco or juan or whatever you call him groom for eventers. Puleeze… we KNOW our horses… we don’t turn them over to some Evian toting, tiara adjusting, boot polishing, deaf from all the whining hired hand.

And FWIW, I happen to LOVE pippi longstocking… so don’t go there.

Wish I could continue… but it’s time to go home! Play nice (or at least hold off on any MAjOR insults until I can be back).

If Dressage is a Symphony… Eventing is Rock & Roll!

1. Your Favorite Thread of the Year -
   You’re So Vain, Parts 1 and II (The changing song lyrics to fit horses threads)

2. Thread that has impacted you the most -
   The September 11 threads, collectively – Including the ones about the WSPA and other animal rescue orgs I didn’t know anything about.

3. Thread that just wouldn’t die -
   The California Clique thread – It was fun while it lasted, but it was time for it to go.

4. Thread that you wish had never died -
   I guess You’re So Vain, since that was my favorite.

5. Topic that has given you re-occuring nightmares -
   Anything with the initials “TH” in it.

6. Person who posts for no reason but to see their name in lights -
   Me, of course.

7. Best username -
   It was “Off Course” – before we stole her user name to use for this forum and she had to change it.

8. Most annoying username -
   Heidi-ugh. Why did she have to add the “ugh” part? We love our Heidi all by herself.

9. Most inspirational poster -
   Reginapony!

10. Poster in most need of visiting a sanitarium -
    Erin. As Chief Cat Herder, she needs a break.

11. Poster whose threads you look most forward to reading -
    Beezer, or Merry, or Kachoo, or Heidi, or DMK. or hobson, or coreene, or … Too many to narrow it down.

12. Poster who you want to come back as in your next life -
    Linda Allen – if I get to have all her talent and knowledge!

13. Poster who you most want to meet in person -
    Thankfully, I have gotten to meet several of them. But I want to meet them all! (Well, almost all. )

14. Clique that you most want to be a member of -
    The “I’m Independently Very Wealthy and No Longer Have to Work for a Living to Support My Horses’ A-Show Lifestyle” Clique

15. Poster whose horse you would jump in front of a train for -
    Jair and the Lovely Alice

16. Poster that always puts you in a good mood -
    Wingsy, or Heidi, or coreene, or Jair, or Kachoo, or Tin, or Beezer, or Merry, or hobson, or Bumpkin, or Kellybird, or … There’s too many to name.

17. Most Valuable Friend/s that you have gained as a result of this BB-
    Weatherford, Louise, DMK, SGray, SoEasy, Linda Allen, Lucassb, Duffy, CTT, Boss Hoss, HSM, JB … more than I can name or deserve

18. Most memorable event from the BB this year -
    Sadly, September 11th, but better, all the warm feelings, friendship, and good deeds it produced.

19. Poster who you want to "vote off the island -
    Thankfully, she is long gone and therefore does not need to be named.

20. Thing you would change most about the BB -
    That some people would think a few seconds longer and calm down before they type.

21. What you like best about the BB -
    Caring people who want to help, and if you have a question, there is always somebody here who knows the answer.

22. Has any - one/thing/topic - changed the way you live?
    Linda Allen and the AHSA rules reorganization thing (initiated by a question and prodding from Snowbird, I have to add). Linda’s incredible energy and committment to improving the sport led to me getting involved in a lot of things and getting to know a lot of people I never, ever, would have had the opportunity to otherwise – and it all came out of this BB.

23. In general - how was 2001 for you?
    Personally, not bad, not bad at all. I’ve been very blessed – something I need to keep in mind more often.

Here’s to a great 2002 for all of you and yours!
