I feel you! And I’m in Oakland and it’s very much the same. They’ll have like 5 different IPAs on tap and then Blue Moon or something. Blearg.

Yep! General IPA disliker here (though of course with exceptions) but I can almost always get down with a white or black IPA. As David said below the Chainbreaker is really good, and 21st Amendment has the Back in Black.

MISANDRISTS.

Poor baby! I’m sure he’s grateful to you for saving him. Enjoy him – TBs are great horses.

Sure. And don’t get me wrong I think AP is a fine horse who has done well for himself. But I don’t think he’s faced any real competition yet.

Based on what Baffert and the Zayats said post-race it seems suspect that he will race again. That’s just what I gleaned from it. I hope you are right.

Or teaching them to go on the right lead!

I highly doubt he will ever race again.

Assuming he was sound, yes. I really like his owners, the Zayats, but I though they were really hypocritical when he won the triple crown. They’re always going on about how he’s such an amazing ambassador for the sport and he’s going to revitalize racing, then they turn around and announce they’re retiring him.…

Absolutely. Horses these days competing at AP’s level also tend to be speed freaks who thrive at short distances (with the recent exception of the Belmont). All the distance has been bred out of them because the most valuable races (like the KY Derby) are at shorter distances. Distance is seen as a very “European”…

Totally! They're also bred longer and leaner now as opposed to upright.

Yep! I’m in hunter jumpers now with some eventing on the side and I love my TB’s. TBxWelsh pony cross is just about the best kid’s pony out there I would say.

Someone (formerly) in the industry here :)

YUP. It’s a mix of their mothers’ names: Renee and Esme. Vom.

Also they used a horrible animatronic baby that makes Chuckie look like a literal children’s toy. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/nailb…

Yes, all of this, but then Bella also thinks it’s great and amazing because 1) Jacob will stop moping around her friendzone and b) the baby (whose name is RENEESME) will have lifelong protection.

Right??

That's clearly not what the OP was saying.

Weight doesn’t make any sense, haha. I’m 5’0” size 0 and I weight like 130 I think. I'm an athlete too so when you're muscular it's a whole different ballgame. I stopped giving a damn about numbers a long time ago. *shrug*

My mom did this too. Hugs.
