He is inbred to Numbered Account through his dam, and further back he has the usual Northern Dancer/Mr. Prospector crosses. Still, his pedigree is interesting and not nearly as colorful as some out there. For all the talk of his poor breeding, it doesn't take long to get back to the big names. Hopefully there will be…

Ooooh, Jezebel is covering horses today! This makes me happy.
Almost as happy as watching California Chrome get it done, and significantly more happy than watching Commanding Curve destroy my trifecta and super.

He has a better chance than most in the field, granted, and Rosie being on board is definitely a good enough reason to cheer for him.

I think my favorite horse name of all time is Hoof Hearted. Or this gem of a pair:

Your laziness will probably save you some money, in the case of Vicar's In Trouble, but I would be really happy to see Rosie win the Derby. She has the best showing by any woman in the Derby with a previous fifth-place finish and has been winning some big races in the past couple years.

Oh, and one of the other names California Chrome almost got saddled with was "Seabisquik." So, you know, praise the racing gods.

The horses I am betting in one way or another this year are California Chrome, Danza, Medal Count, General A Rod, Wicked Strong, and Ride on Curlin.

Good luck to anyone who puts down some money! Everyone else should cheer for California Chrome. His owners are two working-class guys who formed DAP Racing- short for Dumb…

So sad for you. :( It's rough.

Two months ago, the whole place was still buried in waist-high snow. This combined with the knowledge that I have only ten days left in PA is making me one happy little student.

I was scrolling up through the comments and thought your wine gif was related to the Diva Cup question.

I should probably contribute something more than that to your thread, right? I have no idea about wine, but I have heard Diva Cups are only comfortable for women in a certain size range. You might be unfortunately…

My campus today:

When they didn't have babies to look after, I used to keep my two lady bunnies together, and the larger one would do the same face humping routine. I never understood it, but it didn't seem to be causing any harm.

Have a cute bunny.

If you've never seen two rabbits do the deed, the really funny part is when the boy has a wee rabbit seizure, falls off the lady as stiff as a corpse, and just lies there for a while. Used to crack me up every time when I had bunnies.

Basic liches.

I'm cutting her some slack too. I'm months out from losing my boy and I still get weepy sometimes. Definitely not ready for a new dog yet. You never know how much a certain dog meant to a certain person; It could be that Miley's dog was the only stable emotional comfort she had.

Good luck and congratulations!

I'm in the same boat as you. Been living in PA for four years now doing college stuff, but I started seeing someone in my hometown in WA last December. I had plans to move back before then, since I do not have many fond memories of my time here. Now, I've got six more weeks til I'm done with classes and can run the…

Sometimes, in private, my boyfriend affectionately calls me "barf skag." This is only partially because we played a lot of Borderlands together.

It seems our point of contention is Carter's motives, which is fair enough. I'm one who thinks that every positive voice is a welcome one. It's hard for a former president to speak out for any cause without the media placing him at the center of the story, but Carter has consistently stood out as an advocate who walks…
