1/2 a Horse Power

[DaileyDog]

Got my Sports Illustrated today (the one with Kordell Stewart on the front). In the Scorecard, there's a piece about somebody trying to fix races at Santa Anita race track by stuffing SPONGES up the nostrils of horses. According to the story, horses only breathe through their noses and the sponge (which is shoved 10-12 inches up) is meant to restrict air flow and, therefore, "horse" power. All of which lead me to think:

When did Weapon-R get into horse racing?:D

thats sooo not nice, but soo funny :)

i know. i kind of felt bad after i posted it. that guy gets a pretty good beating every time he comes on here. but, as soon as i read that story i couldn't help it. i think i need some lecturing from oldster so i can think about what i did.;)

nooooooooo....... yeeeessssss......

Restricting one nostril is better than breathing with 2 nostrils? Is that so? My car has only one nostril, the intake, should I shove a sponge or not? lol.

Just kidding guys.

May I ask who is Weapon-R? I am guessing he is not too popular on this board. I know there has to be a good story behind this and I wanna hear it. :)

No lectures but you are grounded for the weekend. That will give you some time to think over the consequences of your actions. :)
