Last Post Wins

You guys are just jealous cause I like SBD the best :tongue:


:tongue: You have a new flavor every few months.

[Vertigo]

Without me the lollipop saga would never have existed!


I went back and posted a lovely picture of Aidan to soften the blow.



Not a good photo. But it works

[Afrashad]

Not anymore. I'm hooked :cheesy:


Still planning that Disney World honeymoon? I don't think she'll want to go there.

[Silverbulletday]

See, this is why we never talk anymore.


Are you saying I'm in denial?


Eh, not really. I was more a fan of the conversations we used to have - mocking Mags and the rest of the Coolmore group. I'm the first to say that Aidan's far and away the best trainer in the world. But I refuse to have fun with them the way I do with the Darley crew.

[Afrashad]

Not a good photo. But it works


It's one of two pictures of him that I have saved on my computer. I do believe I have more of The Ferg. :laugh:

She gets to go wherever she wants. Perhaps we'll hit up all 3 legs of the 'Triple Crown' :grin:


Oh by the way...... :grin: :grin: :grin:

And I thought we'd already planned a summer wedding and a honeymoon at the Royal Ascot meet. :kiss:

[Vertigo]

That picture of Aidan makes me sad, but in a funny way.
He just looks like a 10 year old who got his candy bag stolen on halloween

You get points for stuff. Just, stuff in general.

[Silverbulletday]

And you're keeping track of the points? :laugh:

[Vertigo]

Indeed I am.
There is no baisc point system, you can give anyone points, but not yourself

[Silverbulletday]

Oh, we can all hand out points to each other?

[Vertigo]

Just not yourself.

[Silverbulletday]

Can we take points away from each other? :police:

[Vertigo]

No! Because then you'll just take away all their points!

Bah humbug. Go to www.racingfotos.com. Click on Non-Registered users. Do a search for George Washington. There's like 20 pages of pictures, but not all of them have Aidan.

[Silverbulletday]

Soooo, how many boyfriends do you have now, Affy? :laugh:

[Vertigo]

Too many photos with copyrights!!!

That's why I had to figure out how to screencap! :evil:

Actually you have five. Half of Frankie and half of Aidan

[Afrashad]

Actually you have five. Half of Frankie and half of Aidan


Yeah, I was forgetting that tiny little detail. Combining the two halves is going to make one interesting looking guy.

[Silverbulletday]

The truly fascinating part of that exchange was that Carly added half of Aidan to half of Frankie and got one whole person! :laugh:

[Vertigo]

I got the right side of Aidan, and left side of Frankie

[Vertigo]

Must remember, they are pretty much the same height

[Afrashad]

I got the right side of Aidan, and left side of Frankie


Good. I got my favorite side on both of them.

http://i37.tinypic.com/iliro2.jpg

[Vertigo]

I got both nose-picking sides :cool:

[Afrashad]

That's truly what's important then. Do we need to split anyone else up?

[Vertigo]

Currently I think we are good. You can have Saeed.

My 10,000th post is already at a full page - and that's without links or mentioning Carly, Dustin, Commentator, Coronado's Quest, Showing Up, Whistlejacket, or Regret. I already have my blurbs for Affy, Thes, and Luv. Who am I forgetting?

Don't panic!!! I just started it tonight - it looks like I'll have until tomorrow or Saturday night to work on it before I have to post it. That's plenty of time to put your paragraph in. :grin:

And thank you Affy!!! That's a disaster averted!!!! :grin:

[Vertigo]

They can fuse well.


I mean, with Frankie you got flamboyancy, satisfaction, kissing of random things, non-stop energy
With Aidan you have quietness, nerdyness, laser eyes, ugly children, and no energy

[Silverbulletday]

Why am I not in there yet!?


You're not cool enough. :tongue:


So are you PMSing or what? You're certainly on one hell of a roll tonight!

[Vertigo]

So are you PMSing or what? You're certainly on one hell of a roll tonight!

How's that fusing well? They're complete opposites. :laugh:

So are you PMSing or what? You're certainly on one hell of a roll tonight!


Actually, no. Give me a couple of weeks though.

They fuse well because opposites attract. Goodness, did you take science in 3rd grade?

[Afrashad]

I have visions of Frankie half wanting to run around kissing things while Aidan half tries to go in the opposite direction to drink his tea.

[Vertigo]

Frankie will bring out Aidan's true Irish side.

[Afrashad]

Or have him wanting to hang himself.

[Vertigo]

That would be hard with one hand

[Silverbulletday]

Wow, talk about Jekyll and Hyde! :laugh:

[Afrashad]

That would be hard with one hand


It's Aidan. He'll find a way.

[Vertigo]

Aidan is too nice to kill himself, though

[Afrashad]

If he's attached to Frankie, he could very well change his mind.

[Vertigo]

Who isn't attracted to Frankie?

[Silverbulletday]

Um, duh!!!!!

[Afrashad]

Aidan called Frankie a spoiled brat. There's no love there.

[Vertigo]

Um, duh!!!!!



Not you! :tongue:




Hey, it is time for Aidan to learn the joy of Frankie. Mo has.

[Afrashad]

Hey, it is time for Aidan to learn the joy of Frankie. Mo has.


I don't see Aidan wanting to learn the joy of Frankie.

[Vertigo]

I will make my half want to

[Afrashad]

My half won't have to. :tongue:

[Silverbulletday]

Good night! I'm only 28 posts away from the big one! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

[Afrashad]

You'd better get writing then. :laugh:

[Vertigo]

My half won't have to. :tongue:



Well then your half of Aidan will die

[Afrashad]

Well then your half of Aidan will die


It's a risk I'll have to take.

[Vertigo]

No love!

[mariasmon]

Whoa, I've missed a lot tonight!

[mariasmon]

And I'm getting really close to my 6000th :kiss:

[Vertigo]

Whoa, I've missed a lot tonight!




Indeed you have.

[Afrashad]

No love!


That's why Saeed and Colm are around to make sure no one dies.

[Afrashad]

Whoa, I've missed a lot tonight!


Nothing worth writing home about though.

[Vertigo]

No love!


That's why Saeed and Colm are around to make sure no one dies.



Saeed is an X cop, he can handle wild and crazy half Aidan

[Afrashad]

Saeed is an X cop, he can handle wild and crazy half Aidan


I'm not sure Aidan's the wild and crazy half.....

[Vertigo]

But he is Irish... it shall bubble up

[Afrashad]

I'm Irish, and I'm not crazy.

[Vertigo]

It shall bubble up

I think I sprained my wrist today. :cry:

[Afrashad]

Right.


Why do people think Sheikh Mo won't buy Stardom Bound because of her pedigree? :tongue:

I've been officially ignored. No love for Regret. :sad:




Someone needs a hug!

[Regret]

Well the place sure is hoppin' tonight. :tongue:

[Vertigo]

I just feel weird.

My mind is not tired, I woke up easily but my body is all slow, and tired.
I feel sick like I am going to throw up, but not really (does that make sense?)

I just feel, weird :laugh:

[Afrashad]

%#$$%#@!!!

[mariasmon]

%#$$%#@!!!


Que?

[Afrashad]

All the Good may not run in the Melbourne Cup now. I swear Godolphin's had the worst luck this year. If anyone from Coolmore wins, I might just be sick. :tongue:

[mariasmon]

All the Good may not run in the Melbourne Cup now. I swear Godolphin's had the worst luck this year. If anyone from Coomore wins, I might just be sick. :tongue:

I coo!

[Afrashad]

:laugh:

I coo!


Oops. :laugh:

[Afrashad]

So, the apprentice took the lead in the champion apprentice battle, but it was at the expense of Godolphin. I'm torn on how I'm supposed to feel. :undecided:

[Silverbulletday]

Growing pains, Affy?

[Afrashad]

Yes, I'm suffering from growing pains. I suppose I'll be happy for the apprentice because he does have a ban coming up. Godolphin's really not having a good day though.

[Afrashad]

Wow, The Ferg was once a pony boy and hot walker.

[Silverbulletday]

OMG, how do you know this???

[Regret]

My god, the politics forum makes my head hurt.

[Afrashad]

OMG, how do you know this???


I'm just plain brilliant like that. :cool: Mid-40s is also a very good guess on his age.

[mariasmon]

It was in a number of BC articles that came out on Saturday evening.

[Afrashad]

It was in a number of BC articles that came out on Saturday evening.


You weren't supposed to tell her that. :tongue:

[Afrashad]

“This is an absolute highlight because I worked for John Gosden 25 years ago in California,” Ferguson said. “I had been working for Michael Stoute in Europe, and he got fed up with me and sent me to John for experience. I spent one winter with him as a hot walker and pony boy, and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d be sharing something like this with John.”

[mariasmon]

I've never been quite sure what a "pony boy" is. Is it like...a groom?

[Afrashad]

I think it is, but don't quote me on it.

[CoronadosQuest]

http://www.pedigreequery.com/kentucky+justice

I like her pedigree...

Nevermind, I guess its a common pedigree =( Well... geez... I need to find one haha I want one!

[Afrashad]

My retirement predictions (We'll see how close I get in a few weeks):
Creachadoir
Ramonti
Music Note
Folk Opera
All the Good
Cocoa Beach
Zada Belle


That's one down. :sad:

[Silverbulletday]

It was in a number of BC articles that came out on Saturday evening.


Thanks, mons. :grin: I cannot wait to get my BC edition of TBH!

[Afrashad]

I can't decide which is more depressing...All the Good's stiff leg or Ramonti's retirement. :undecided:

Literato has been removed from the Godolphin roster as well. Wouldn't be surprised if he's also been retired.

It doesn't look like Creachadoir's going to be retired, and I'm a bit surprised they would keep him after that breakdown.

[Afrashad]

All the Good's leg has gotten worse, so Godolphin really needs a miracle right about now.

[Silverbulletday]

My understanding is that a "pony boy" is like an outrider - you pony the horses to and from the track in the morning. But that could be the total opposite of what he meant. Either way, I'd love to see a picture of him on a horse! :cheesy:

[Afrashad]

I'm up to seven six boyfriends now. :laugh:


My former roommate's bf just asked me if I had married Majid yet. :laugh:

[Silverbulletday]

The upshot of not going to any sale at all for the rest of this year is that I'll get to see my family more.

[Afrashad]

You can get Ferguson now too.

[Silverbulletday]

I wish I could! We're going to have to wait until January, which, btw, I'm going to schedule with Legacy Bloodstock - screw my boss. :tongue:

[Afrashad]

Pittsburgh in January? Yuck.

[Silverbulletday]

Actually, he was supposed to come to Lexington. There's no way a Florida girl can make the drive to Pittsburgh in the snow.

[Afrashad]

Yeah, I'm not sure I would want to make that trip either. Just going through West Virginia in the snow is bad enough.

[Silverbulletday]

I don't trust myself to drive in the snow - sometimes I scare the crap out of myself on the dry flatlands of Florida! :laugh:

OMG - I'd better get that post polished up - it's going to happen tonight!!!!! :grin:

[Silverbulletday]

I wish I could! We're going to have to wait until January, which, btw, I'm going to schedule with Legacy Bloodstock - screw my boss. :tongue:


Yes, Pittsburgh in January. Come the 5th for my birthday.


Sorry - I'll be working OBS January then. The Keeneland January Sale is the 12th through the 17th, which will put me up there about the 10th - straight from OBS, blah.

And have you just totally ignored the stuff about me not being able to drive in the snow???

[Afrashad]

SBD, you'd better hurry with the speech before something happens to the forum. :laugh:

[Silverbulletday]

I know it - I was panicking! :shocked:

I can't complete it without some more help - the search doesn't turn up Omani the Pirate or the REALLY good photos of Majid. And I need photos of Colm and that apprentice you like.

[Afrashad]

Give me just a minute.

[Silverbulletday]

Ok, I think I have a minute or two. :laugh:

[Silverbulletday]

No actually. :wink: But you can call me now if you must - I'm hard at work on my monumental post.

[Afrashad]

Wow, Godolphin's not going to have a winter string in Florida this year, and Mettee's supposed to be going to Dubai.

[Silverbulletday]

He called. :cheesy:

Where is everyone?

[Afrashad]

Dang, this jockey is cute. Shame he's younger than my brother though. :laugh:

Speaking of speeches, I'll be giving my own in a few days. That means I'll have to come up with something brilliant yet again.

[Silverbulletday]

A few days? Wow. :shocked: You must be planning on covering some serious ground!

[Afrashad]

I meant to 7,000. :laugh:


Poor Saeed. I almost feel sorry for him right now. :sad:

[Silverbulletday]

Right - you're 128 posts away from the big 7,000. That's a long way away.

[Afrashad]

You get a lot of action on the forum, and those posts go by pretty fast.


I've made 50 posts today, so a few days is about right.

[Afrashad]

Hmmmm....Carly has been notably absent today. She must have taken her halves out on the town or something.

[Silverbulletday]

I'm putting the final touches on it! It's fitting that it's just Affy here to see it when it first goes up.

Truce? :laugh:

[Afrashad]

Truce. :cool:

[Silverbulletday]

OK, yay!

One final favor to ask, I need a photo of all seven of the Maktoum sons. :smiley:

ETA - that's beautiful, plus it's the biggest Majid smile EVER! :cheesy:

[Afrashad]

I don't think all seven have been photographed together, but I have one with six.

Yep, nothing with all of them.

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Afrashad]

ETA - that's beautiful, plus it's the biggest Majid smile EVER! :cheesy:


It's a shame he doesn't smile more because he has a nice one.


Now I wait some more. :tongue:

[Silverbulletday]

10,000!!!

How does one celebrate their 10,000th post? The truth is, I’m not really sure. This is fairly uncharted territory – from here on out, I’m boldly venturing where a mere handful of Thoroughbred Champions posters have gone before. *cue Star Trek theme* I came to TBC in my most recent incarnation on August 22, 2007. Before that I was here for a brief six month stint earlier in 2007, also under the moniker Silverbulletday, but very few know the rest of the story....

I grew up as that typical little girl who was totally in love with horses – I had more toy horses than Sheikh Mohammed has real horses, I had checked out every single book even remotely related to horses in every library I ever visited and read them all cover to cover, and my favorite ride at any amusement park was the merry-go-round, but I had no access to horses at all. None of my family members had any interest in horses and probably regarded my obsession as something I’d eventually grow out of – which I very nearly did by the time I was 12. That’s when a giant red chestnut colt with a gorgeous rider and a flamboyant, silver-haired trainer came along and stole the national spotlight. Point Given didn’t win the Kentucky Derby like he was supposed to, but that certainly didn’t matter to me when the Big Red Train came galloping home at Pimlico and Belmont carrying his future movie star jockey to the winner’s circles and into my heart. From there, I followed the terrific trio’s exploits until my beloved colt strained a tendon and had to be retired. That sad event paled in comparison to what happened later that year, which made my first Breeders’ Cup an exceptional experience. That day my eyes were truly opened – this was a world that revolved around the creature I had grown up loving. I was officially hooked.

Since then, I’ve moved to Ocala, graduated from college, and become quite heavily involved in the thoroughbred industry by travelling the country and working sales. I would never have made it this far without the help of a great many people and look forward to moving onward and upward with a move to the true epicenter of thoroughbred activity in North America, Lexington, next year.

Along the incredible journey I’ve taken here at TBC, I’ve met many characters, some who are very near and dear to my heart, and others who are not-so-much. :laugh: Probably my most memorable contribution to the board has been the monstrous thread “Last Post Wins.” What the real point of this thread is, no one really knows, but it’s become a hangout unparalleled in the realm of cyberspace.

Afrashad has been my constant companion throughout the thread. Somewhere along the way, we’ve developed the habit of posting photos of everything from male models (http://i36.tinypic.com/15nlk42.jpg) to desperate souls (http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=%2F870he8EP9zTudMIFTa0rA%3D%3D) to complete nerds (http://i37.tinypic.com/bf4zd0.jpg) to wrinkly old men who are far too easily excited! (http://i34.tinypic.com/zkftsh.jpg) Right now we’re going through a bit of a rough patch since you’ve annexed Aidan O’Brien (http://i33.tinypic.com/j9pu14.jpg) to your list of boyfriends that already includes Majid (http://i38.tinypic.com/211rl9e.jpg), Colm (http://i36.tinypic.com/2lw3z49.jpg), Frankie (http://i33.tinypic.com/4qpfh2.jpg), Saeed (and his famous binoculars!) (http://i33.tinypic.com/2mo6yis.jpg), and that one apprentice dude (http://i37.tinypic.com/4hqovd.jpg), but we’re still the best of buddies. Deep down, I know that you’re still the diehard Darley fan you always were. Plus, not only are you the one who brought out my affection for John Ferguson – you’re the one who gave us the nicknames The Ferguson, The Ferginator, and The Ferg, and for that I am eternally grateful. :grin:

What ca I say about Carly? Gril, you’re friggin’ amazing with iMovie – who will ever, EVER, forget your Darley video??? Carly’s Darley!!! :grin: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EsDks-TZpY) You’re hysterical and you lighten u every single conversation you waltz into. And now we have the epic duels bwtwene you and Affy for half of Aidan and half of rankie, (http://i35.tinypic.com/ifbae9.jpg) which somehow add up into one person – this, perhaps?? (http://i36.tinypic.com/205fm6d.jpg) And you’re wickedly cool with photoshop – especially just after you’ve had the infamous Omani (http://i38.tinypic.com/2885o2u.jpg) at your house eating your pizza and organizing parades.

Commentator and Coronado’s Quest are relative newcomers to Last Post Wins, but they’ve become excellent contributors. Commentator is quickly learning the intracacies of the Maktoum family thanks to Afrashad and her myriad of photos, like the one below. Coronado's Quest has been an incredible antagonist - very anti-The Ferguson. Someday you will see the light, girlfriend!!! :laugh:

Dustin, Dustin, Dustin. Most of the praise I have to heap on your handsome head can’t be posted here because it’d jeopardize the family-friendly status of my thread, which I won’t do even for you. :evil: Suffice it to say, we could lobby for another screenname change to "The Best...". :wink: :kiss:

To luv, who never ignores me, even when nosepickers and pinheads are topics of conversation, you’re the only one who truly understands my devotion to The Ferguson.

mons, you’re the only one I break my rule of correct punctuation for, LOL! You’re a great pal, and while you don’t attempt to play a part you’re not, you are definitely very smart and a very, very good photographer….

Everyone here knows that this thread wouldn’t be half as long as it is right now without at least two of those photos. They’ve provided hours upon hours of hilarity and incredible entertainment, and for that we all thank you. :smiley:

To bradpittThesaraus, you’re my sci-fi/House buddy, even if you bradpittdon’t watch the two greatest sci-fi shows bradpittever!

Regret, you and I have had some EPIC battles, especially when I was first here and returned. I don't remember what we've fought over, but it probably seemed like a really good reason at the time. :cheesy:

Here's to V, who runs the whole place and lets us all run amok in our little corner of cyberspace. :cool:

This monstrous post would not be complete without a humble tribute to Sheikh Mohammed, who is largely responsible for the thread, Last Post Wins.

BRAD PITTING BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're a Triple Crown Winner!!!

[Silverbulletday]

Thank you. :cheesy: I'm glad it's over with. :laugh:


You're a Triple Crown Winner!!!


I see that! :cheesy:

[Afrashad]

I didn't introduce you guys to my latest boyfriend addition, did I? :laugh:



[attachment deleted by admin]

[Afrashad]

I see that! :cheesy:


I don't think we've had Triple Crown Winner in years past. It was Hall of Fame. Triple Crown Winner sounds so much better.

[Silverbulletday]

Who's the new boyfriend? And do I need to update my monster to reflect the change in your harem?

[Silverbulletday]

Triple Crown Winner sounds so much better.


It's what you now aspire to be! :wink:

[Afrashad]

That would be Conduit's jockey, Ryan Moore. Once again, I'm keeping my options open.

[Afrashad]

It's what you now aspire to be! :wink:


That and binoculars carrier. :laugh:

[Silverbulletday]

I scoped out Ryan a few years back when I was still going through my jockey phase. He's definitely a looker.

[Afrashad]

I really like his eyes. *swoon*

[Afrashad]

There's a new apprentice that's completely adorable, but he's seventeen.

(Under Top Tip)

[Silverbulletday]

I'm a sucker for that pale skin and those really bright blue eyes - but Ryan's too baby faced for my tastes these days.

[Silverbulletday]

OK, I need to get to bed before it gets too much later. :smiley:

Good night all!

[Afrashad]

I've heard he's an ***. :tongue:

Thank you - couldn't have done it without you! :grin:

[Afrashad]

Ryan Moore's also here. The first question he was asked was 'How are you finding the Breeders' Cup experience?'.

Did he answer a) 'It's a real thrill to be out here and to be riding one of the leading contenders for a prestigious event like the Breeders' Cup Turf' b) 'I can't wait to go exploring Los Angeles and finding all that this fantastic city has to offer' or c) 'What kind of a stupid (expletive) question is that?'.

:laugh:

[Vertigo]

Nice post SBD! Sorry I've been gone today. Frankie-Aidan and I have been watching Terminator 2, and performing at a band concert.

[mariasmon]

SBD's 10000th post was lovely.

[Regret]

Great post, SBD! I can't remember what we fought over either. :laugh:

[Commentator]

A wonderful 10,000th post SBD! May you have 10,000 more! (within a reasonable span of time, of course :grin:)

[CoronadosQuest]

SBD ROFL ROFL

I will not see the light about a grandpa, sorry. Not my type :P

OK!

Somebody PLEASE tell me what went down that ended with the removal of two TBC members.

[Afrashad]

I'm now officially bummed. :sad:


I've also decided that Literato's going to Japan.

[Vertigo]

Does anyone else get annoyed when the winners of the world series are called world champions?


The world doesn't even play in it, it's only America

[peeptoad]

Who was removed?

Well, I know for sure that blu is gone - I don't know about the other removal. And I don't know what happened - I wish I did. :undecided:

Chocolate_2000 or whatever their name was is gone as well.

[Afrashad]

KD won!!!!!! That almost makes up for the All the Good news.

Oh, that means that the politics forum was getting out of control.

[Afrashad]

More than likely, yes. I've heard the story on the bannings.

[Regret]

Nah, it's been relatively civil. Chocolate_2000 was Richard, so it was just time for a banning. Haha. V said he left under his own power, however, and she just deleted his account because he left. No worries-- he'll be back.

I'm annoyed that blu was banned, however. I really liked her.

[Silverbulletday]

blu argued with just about everyone, but I think just about everyone she argued with is sad that she's gone. That says a lot.

[Ballerina]

blu has an opinion about EVERYTHING. God forbid anyone disagreed with her. She has a viperous tongue. Could dish out the barbs but felt she wasn't deserving of getting them in return. Smart lady - knows a lot, but she wielded her knowledge like a battering ram. She needs not to be so full of herself. I feel neither one way nor the other about her no longer being on this forum.

Seems to me that a lot of people fall into that category on this forum. They can dish it out but aren't very good at taking it.

A lot of people on this forum don't go gunning for someone, but when someone comes after them - they give as good as they get.

Got it?!

[Somnambulist]

I'm going upstate to visit my best friend today. I'm crazy excited because she goes to a hippie school (really, they blow glass in the street and have a tie-dye shop) and tonight is Halloween. It will be fun. :grin:

That's what I was about to post. Sorry to hear about bluhorse... wish Donner would get banned.

That was kind of bizarre between Bal and PJM.

I'm not sure, but it looks that way.

I forgot to ask if they had behaved. :laugh:

[Silverbulletday]

Florida-Georgia this weekend!!! :grin:

[Silverbulletday]

Dustin, go bid $2 in the Price is Right, Fasig thread. :laugh:

ETA: Nevermind. :laugh:

[Afrashad]

Last night's Grey's Anatomy was actually good for once. That show had started to go downhill in a hurry.

[Regret]

Hah-- funny, seeing Ballerina talk about people being able to dish it out but not take it. :laugh:

[peeptoad]

I'm bored. 25 minutes left in my work day.

[Silverbulletday]

I'm off to the district swim meet - GO PEDRO!!! :grin:

[Silverbulletday]

Everyone's out trick-or-treating, I guess. :laugh:

The Pedro boys are repeat district champs and my little brother and sister are on their way to regionals again this year!!! :grin:

[Afrashad]

I'm too old to trick-or-treat. :tongue:

[Silverbulletday]

I'm sure that if your campus is anything like the UF campus was today, there is not age limit on trick-or-treating. :laugh:

[Afrashad]

No, people go to class in costumes. The people in the dining hall even had them on.

[Silverbulletday]

LOL. What did you go as - a binoculars girl?

[Afrashad]

There's no need to hate on the binoculars now. :tongue:

[mariasmon]

There is too much pepper in a McChicken.

[luvthesales]

There is too much pepper in a McChicken.


I am definitely not a fan of excessive pepper.

I had a South Beach frozen pizza (buffalo chicken), and I added Texas Pete. Excessive Texas Pete is fine.

[Silverbulletday]

Who's hating on your binoculars, Affy? I think it would be a great costume!

I could run around with two catalogs stuffed in my pants and a polo with the collar flipped up. :laugh:

I forgot to order it plain, too, so I had to wipe off the 50 tbsp of mayo they piled on it. I don't even know what Texas Pete is, I must admit.

[Silverbulletday]

Texas Pete is hot sauce, right?

[luvthesales]

I am stunned at the lack of 'Texas Pete knowledge.' Yes, it's a hot sauce. Great stuff.

I'm all about mayo, too-- you should have seen me at Subway today, MM. I always tell them, 'Oil & vinegar, and lots of mayonnaise.' They load it up. :)

[Silverbulletday]

I love spicy foods, but I'm not a fan of hot sauce except for the fire sauce from Taco Bell. I can pour two or three of those on a taco and love it. Tried the volcano taco yet? Mmmmmmm.

[Afrashad]

Who's hating on your binoculars, Affy? I think it would be a great costume!


Maybe that's what I'll be next year. I'll need a Godolphin shirt and hat first to pull it off. :laugh:

I'm not a huge mayo fan, but I like it in small doses. What's left on the bun after I wipe it off is quite a nice addition to the sandwich.

Hot sauce, eh? Can't say as I ever use any kind of hot sauce. I do like steak sauce, but only if I eat chopped steak. Country Bob's is my favorite :laugh:

I have not tried that, but I thought it sounded good. I'm more of a 'soft taco' girl, though.

I can make a buffalo chicken dip with chicken (obviously), cream cheese, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, and Texas Pete that would rock your socks. I'm all about the hot sauce. :grin: I make killer salsa, too.

[Silverbulletday]

I don't really like hard tacos either, but this one is really good because of that spicy chessy sauce. And the red shell is cool.

[mariasmon]

I do not eat cheese. Just one of the weird things about me...

[Silverbulletday]

Why not mons?

[mariasmon]

Primarily because I don't like it.

[Silverbulletday]

How does one not like cheese? I can't imagine a world without cheese. :smiley:

[luvthesales]

Primarily because I don't like it.


Although I cannot understand such a thing, at least that's a good reason for not eating something! :laugh:

Same here, sister. Cheese has saved me more times than I can count.
