Equus (and not the Peter Shaffer kind)

You know how Ian is always blogging about Ye Olde Whitehorse and the large quantities of booze found therein? Replace "Ian" with "Ian and Laura," remember the fact that it always seems to be 2-for-1 happy hour at the Horse, then add to this delightful picture my idea to call Matt and Steffen. Follow this scenario to its logical conclusion.

I hate Ian's Casio "wave ceptor" alarm clock so much, I don't think I can be held responsible for my actions.

In other horse news, I think I should add this to my various money-making schemes:

SEEKING WRITERS NEW TO THE TRACK

Trot Magazine as a publication credit? Too perfect.

I've been to Truro... I recommend the other locations.

I say go for it - as long as they don't expect you to bet the $300 on the races.

Hey,waaaaaait a minute here. Something smells like horsey stuff you might step around or jump over if you came across it. Aren't they supposed to pay you to spill your brilliance on paper/ Sounds like an elaborate scheme to bilk young genii(sp?) of the writing variety from their hard earned residuals.
