The Monkey Barn Derby

{You didn't think we were going to let the folks in Kentucky have all the fun, did you?}



We thought in honor of the Kentucky Derby we'd have the first Monkey Barn Derby. I asked the Monkeys to send me their horse name and picture. Unfortunately, not every monkey got out of the starting gates, but the field we have is wonderful indeed. Let's take a look.




From the #1 position, we have Tobias's entry:

HUNG LIKE A RIVER MIDGET







In Position #2 we have Schrodinger's feisty little entry:

DRAMA QUEEN - SAY HEY!







In the 3rd spot is a sexy sleek stallion from Lady Jane Scarlett:

LADY GODIVA'S SCARLETT REIGN






The 4th slot is reserved for that tempestuos would-be bronco from Dragon:

DRAGON'S KISS






The 5th position was drawn by Sea Hag, and a worthy vessel did she bring:

GRAVY TRAIN


Gravy Train (Sea Hag)



The Sixth slot was wrangled by Koz himself. He presents:
SIR-BARTON GALLANT-FOX OMAHA WAR-ADMIRAL WHIRLAWAY COUNT-FLEET ASSAULT CITATION SECRETARIAT SEATTLE-SLEW AFFIRMED III






These are your 2007 Monkey Barn Entrants. Check back Monday to see who won it all.

There is no way my horse can lose. Just look at her, she's beautiful, full of spirit and ready to kick ass. And look at the competition....

Hung Like A River Midget is so huge it reminds me of a walking walrus. No way it can make it past the gate.

Drama Queen - Say Hey! Oh please, this horse is made of glass. Glass people!

Lady Godiva's Scarelett Reign (great name by the way) looks too much like a diva to be a real challenge. No way she'll want to get her hooves dirty and I doubt she'll get far without tripping on her pretty cape.

Gravy Train doesn't even have legs, people!

And finally there's Sir-Barton Gallant-Fox Omaha War-Admiral Whirlaway Count-Fleet Assault Citation Secretariat Seattle-Slew Affirmed III. He won't be getting far with those stubby little legs.

Back a winnner! Go Dragon's Kiss!

You're all talk, Dragon, and you don't seem to know how to tell a male horse from a female. (This is not a problem you'd have if you encountered one hung like a river midget.)

Your horse looks more like he'd like Drama Queen, if you know what I mean. Sadly, neither one of them would want to lead, because they both would want to be in the rear....

Boo-yah!

HUNG LIKE A RIVER MIDGET would stomp these losers. There ain't no way I'm losin'!
