Title: Let's pretend...

...that all of us here on the Beau Peep site have got together to buy a racehorse. Now we have to name it and we need something powerful, dynamic and thrustingly successful.
I like "Dennis".

Not sure if there's ever been a racehorse called "Peepmaster" before. Perhaps they have a register where you can check.

Why would anyone name a horse after a vegetable?

Okay, why would anyone want to name a horse after a stupid tedious ugly vegetable?

There should be a comma after prank, and a space between the following two words.

On behalf of all artichokes everywhere, I thank you for the indirect compliment.

...I've been pretending all the while... I'm actually Diana Ross.

We need a sturdy name; a long lasting one. An effervescent one.

How about Bubbles?

That reminds me, I've got a joke:

Why don't blind men skydive? Cos it scares the shit out of the dog..

That is from the "Status Shuffle" on facebook.

I suppose a name like "Fast Horsie" might be tempting providence...

There's a slight variation on this one, which you might get some fun out of, Diane...

Blind man's chatting to astonished barman about his skydiving hobby. Barman asks how he knows when to brace himself for the landing. "The guide dog's lead goes slack." says the blind man.


If you want to make it a routine, you start with the tale of the man who enters a bar with a cocker spaniel on a lead.
Barman says "Sorry - we don't allow dogs in here."
Man says, "But he's my guide dog."
Barman replies, "Don't take me for a fool, pal - I may be just a barman, but even I know that guide dogs are either Labradors, Golden Retreivers or Alsations."
"Oh, s***!", says the man. "What have they given me?"

Then on to the conversation about sky-diving...etc.

I did a cartoon many, many years back with a blind guy sweeping up his guide dog's mess using a pooper scooper. The dog is going "left a bit...left a bit more".

Is everyone comfortable taking the mickey out of the visually impaired?  I am.

My son Malc said Stevie Wonder is on Twitter. You know the rest.

Why is the dog going to the left?

Did you see the speech marks?
"Going" is a perfectly legitimate colloquialism, and if you knew anything about grammar, you'd know that, Mince, you thicky thick thicko.

When I read that I was like oh my god! Coz that's like so unfair and disresepcting and everything. And you know that insult, right. You know that thicky thick shit, yeah. That's like no way! And you can't actually do that, you know, isn't it. That's like abuse, big time, and against my rights, or some shit like that. You could go to court and get sued and stuff.
