Yeah, we NEVER choose the initial foal names with an eye toward grandfoals, but it's no surprised that many of the inking names in that contest were off-color.
That Elgin pocket watch is lovely! Curlicues and all, but especially fabulous are the numbers that aren't adjusted for the level of the viewer (not expressing this well; I mean that the lower numbers are upside down, as though the center of the watch not the human observer were the default perspective).
My WaPo subscription is up and I'm not sure if I should renew it, especially now that Petri is gone. I feel like what's the point? I mean they do write news stories and for the most part its true but am I enabling nonsense? Also I feel like if I don't renew then is Rachel gonna lose her job and/or health care? What to do, what to do?
In my opinion, at least three of these inks should list the source horse names in the *reverse* order from how they're listed now, based on the order they're referenced in the resulting grandfoal name.
1.) Fish and Cheops x Usual Gang of Ids = Bunch of Old Gizas
2.) From Don to Musk x Point of Ordure = The Turd Reich
3.) New Serif in Town x Carb Daddy = Glutenberg
(I posted a similar comment about the foals contest two weeks ago.)
Turns out the first alarm clock was a water clock and Plato's water alarm clock in particular. Seems he needed to be up before dawn to prepare his lectures. Just think what we would be missing if he had overslept: probably far fewer dialogues for one thing. The water would flow from one vessel to the next, and when the water level dropped to a certain point, it would trigger a series of mechanisms to produce a sound, like a whistle or chirping, to wake the user.
Uh oh. The courtiers are huddling Duncan, to determine if this is a shameless attempt to circumvent the "Noink Over My Dead Body" royal diktat here and the inevitable (shudder!) Empress stink eye.
Shout out to Mia Wyatt for her Aaron Brrr, Walter Concrete, and Pharaoh Faucet. Loved them!
My favorite was Chris Doyle’s “Wank like an Egyptian”. Made me laugh out loud.
Mine, too. I'm trying to imagine the Bangles singing it.
Favorite anachronism: Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar includes a line about a clock striking three.
Congratulations to Jeff Contompasis, whose horse, Beef Strokin' Off, has sired an entire stable of foals. I must say, that's a lot of strokin' off.

Would that mean that a grand foal is a horse of a different off color?
I thorough(bred)ly enjoyed all the results but the immature little 13-year-old inside me laughed out loud to Roy Ashley's King Tutancummin.

There were a bunch of worthy entries on Losernet that used Brokeback Mountie on the same general theme:
Brokeback Mountie x Stop Laugh-In = DunnoHowToQuietYou
Smoker’s Coif x Brokeback Mountie = Can’t Quit Chew
Brokeback Mountie x Cut the Crap = IWishICouldShitYou
I'm sure there were more that didn't get to Losernet. I was expecting one of them to make the cut.

Ellen again-actually there's 2 on ebay, one brass and one wood-but I guess it has to be the right clepsydra!
