Moesha and the People of Mexico Revisited !!!

[Hephaistion]

OMG! This just came in from the BBC Newsworld radio:

"We have just received word that following Tropical Storm Baloubet, undercover investigative reporter Moesha and his photojournalist Jeb have been caught in a scandal that has the possibility of rocking the quiet town of Aculpulcopoco to its very core! It seems that the dynamic duo were there to originally uncover the ring of bandits exporting over-size-undergarments to male equestrians that were making the wearers feel inadequate because of their over-large size. However, while on the trail of VT Rider and her cohorts LOUISE and Duffy, it seems that the two stumbled upon one Senor Sea Urchin, Esq., a conniving gangster known for his terrible tenacity and the bad company he keeps (the exploits of Senorita Colin-Miranda are legendary). It was well know that Senor Urchin dealt in finding hunter/jumpers for the American market and usually at a huge profit to himself. Now, as we all know journalists don?t make a lot of money, so when during the big storm Jeb witnessed this mule jumping a 5 foot fence with ease, the lightbulb went off! And so began the fraud scam involving selling mules as 3 ft A/O hunters for 6 figures. The new "Bigearbloods" were a huge success- no matter that Senor Urchin had ordered the hit on poor VA Trainer when she tried to spill the beans, or that Brenna, YngAmateur and Pewter (all faithful grooms) had all disappeared as well. It didn't matter - they were rich!! No one would ever find out.

Or so they thought until the intrepid brother/sister team of Jair and Heidi Hardy and their friend Robby Drew, stumbled innocently upon the whole mess while vacationing on the beach.

Agents AHC and MAZ from the FEI (Foreign Equestrian Investigations) are on the scene now. We are awaiting their first reports any moment."

MAZ, please, for the love of Trigger, please go back and edit your ha ha ha's into smaller bits so we don't have to scroll for the whole thread! /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[brilyntrip]

BIGEARBLOODS thats brilliant!

/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Justbay]

Here is a picture of Sea Urchin's. I hear Moesha got a pretty nice one too! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[Regalmeans]

That pic is just tooo funny......does some one have a little to much free time?

Sarah

[Kahuna]

Now THAT should have been Towerhead's picture of the year!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Duffy]

And just look at his form over that huge jump!!!! And I'll just bet his distance was perfect too! I know some of you might think he looked like he might have gotten there a bit deep, but for that height - don't think so. Think it had to have been just perfect! Geesh...sigh...Something we can all dream of aspiring to...

[Justbay]

You know, I travel far and wide in all of my spare time to capture these priceless moments on film.

[havaklu]

Smartbloods - JMO. this is waaay out there.

[DMK]

Well, Duffy... I know you are under "Mr. Accurate's" spell... but some of us KNOW about that business card that reads "Sea Urchin, Chiparooni" /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Justbay]

DMK, I have seen that card too a few times. He occasionally passes it out at horseshows I think?

[Electric Chair]

OMG, JustBay, I am howling!!! But I'm really annoyed with you - you've given away my secret of the new red Edgewood bridle - I was hoping to make a big splash with it at WEF - now everyone will have them. And DMK, it's Mr. Chips Ahoy to you, thank you very much!

[DMK]

I'll have you know that it's Ms. Really Long Spot to you, thank you very much Mr. C. A.!!!!

[Reckoning]

Juan Valdez Urchin, are you responsible for the phenomenal coffe of this year past? /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif My sincerest thanks! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Palisades]

LOL!!!! That picture was an amazing peice of photojournalism if I ever saw one. And who says that there's never anything good in the news anymore?

[AAJumper]

That is the FUNNIEST picture I have seen in a long time! I was laughing so hard, I had to show it to the hubby so he didn't think I was losing my mind!!!

[brilyntrip]

OMG!!!!! Look at how ballsy SU is not only is that jump huge but notice that the standards have no cups ,it won't come down ! I propose that we twist Snowbird's arm and ask her to start ammending the AHSA so that there is a new breed specific division!
BIGEARBLOOD JUMPERS:Entrants to be papered BIGEARBLOODS ,in addition ears of said entrant must be able to hold at least one cool one in each ear ,Size of ear to be inspected by steward before entrant may enter the ring.Course to consist of eight obstacles 4 foot in height,one combination and two changes of direction are required.
NOw as to Mr SU's attire or lack there of....Did anyone notice the SU claim to faim bareb... and what a b...it is ooohhh babaaaby!

[VTrider]

THIS IS THE BEST!!!!

Bless you Jair!!! This is the kind of fun I was talking about on your thread yesterday!!! You are great! Thanks for making me laugh first thing this morning!!

Justbay - You are my new idol...

Duffy - I am sure that SU did hit that jump perfectly, but we won't tell anyone that Colin had to "prep" the mule for him.....

[magpie's]

hehehe!!

Colin prepping her NAW mule for SU's next ride.

[VTrider]

Even from an early age, Colin was training all types of farm animals to jump....

[AHC]

AHC from the FEI (Foreign Equestrian Investigations) reporting. MAZ and I made a quick trip to Mexico last night and can report that it is all true! The bigearbloods have invaded the Virginia horse show scene!!!!! We will be holding an additional meeting this evening in full FEI uniform (black leather pants, black boots and sweaters) and will report on recommended actions tomorrow. Watch out Mr. Chips Ahoy.....

Signed,
AHC (aka Long Spot North)

[Justbay]

It seems that Moesha is acting as a double agent. Here he is spotted at the Lexington Horse Center astride one of the recent imports of said mule agent, Sea Urchin.

It appears that Moesha is part of the scandle! After he witnessed the spectacular jumping ability of the Bigearbloods, he had to have his own. He knows he must stay one step ahead of the competition!

It is rumored that his big grey steed is of Greman breeding and was recently imported.

[VTrider]

Moesha needs to be on E! Fashion Emergency!

[VTrider]

Colin rewarding Bessie for doing great in the flat class...

[HN73]

"Mules love to jump, making them great for coon hunting. "

That in itself causes me to laugh. What do you have to jump to hunts coons? And what do you do with coons after you hunted them?

[Everythingbutwings]

Jump barbed wire. You really don't want to know what they do with the 'coons other than wearing the outside of them as hats. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I believe they also jump "cricks".

[Colin]

OMG - I am laughing soooo hard!!! But I don't have time to play today!!!! Grrrrrr..... meetings all day long!!

That's alright - I'll be getting you all back in good time!!!

xoxoxo

BTW - VT and JustBay - you guys have WAY TOO MUCH time on your hands!

[Portia]

Aha! So now the landslide begins, just as some were worried about at the Annual Meeting when they voted to amend the rules to "allow mules to compete at all levels of AHSA Driving Events and shows." That rule hasn't even taken effect yet, and the Bigearbloods have invaded show jumping! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Hephaistion]

Portia! Have you bought the new Bigearblood Compendium of Bloodlines?

I see that Bigoubet de Earouet is in the lead! Muleton won the showjumping award followed by Bigolo in dressage and Ready Steady Donkey in the 3-Day!

I hear that Ann Kursinski has invested in a bigearblood too: "Starmule" ! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

VT Rider may have photos /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Everythingbutwings]

is coming out of retirement for the chance to show "Jumping Jack Flash" in Grand Prix /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[AHC]

will be showing bigearblood Spectacular Hearingabiltiy in the first year greens at WEF

[Electric Chair]

I hesitate to bring this up....but what about ear stuffers on this new breed...?! LOL

[Everythingbutwings]

Don't forget ear nets! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Is black tack appropriate on Bigearbloods? What style pad?

[brilyntrip]

BUT HEY WAIT that third one could do puissance!
I am laughing so hard am oh well you dont want to know!

[AHC]

Well, Holly must always uses earstuffers on Spectacular Hearingability.... Of course she has a terrible time finding the extra-large size needed to cover the surface area. Perhaps this is a new business opportunity for an enterprising person.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[magpie's]

I think the third picture in my first URL is of Kelsy, finding alternate jobs for her Jr Jumper.

[Robby Johnson]

When we stumbled upon the conspiracy, Jair, were we wearing our black Armani square cuts or the white Gucci thongs? I don't remember ... too many Yellow Birds that a.m. I seem to vaguely recall Heidi letting us rest our drinks on her enhanced decolletage, but things get a bit fuzzy after that.

What I do know, is that the North American IDHS group are crying foul over the fact that bigbearbloods are really heavily Irish bred and are NOT getting the credit they deserve in the sport horse world! That's why their ears are a little big and they have such tremendous scope.

Robby Drew, back to innocently stumbling upon things

[VTrider]

RJ - Are you talking about the drink - Yellow Bird? I had one of those at a Chinese Restaurant one time and it knocked me on my butt quicker than you can say "VTrider"!!!

[Anna]

Here is a picture of my favorite mule of all times!!

[B.G.M. heidi]

From between the great canyon of her ample bosom, Heidi pulls out the latest directive from 'Charlie' (spilling nary an ounce of the precious and perched Yellowbird cocktail): "Angels, there has been a great misdeed comitted against the hunter jumper world. Sea Urchin must be stopped. Use all the resources at your disposal."

Go-go boots and Gucci thongs ablaze with commitment to the mission, Robby Drew and Jair Hardy leapt onto their awaiting Vespas and sped off. In the fumes of their departure, their voices hung in the humid air, to drift into the ears of nearby cafe dwellers.

Robby Drew: "No, miss thang, I'm Cameron, you're Drew".

Jair Hardy: "I don't wanna be Drew, she's going out with that gross Tom Green guy. I'm more capable of breaking Matt Dillon's heart, I'm Cameron!"

[Hephaistion]

Following their discovery of the international Bigearblood conspiracy, our intrepid heros posed for a picture for TV Times:

[B.G.M. heidi]

Let's reminisce brother Jair about your glory days in white satin pants, serenading a stadium full of 13 year-old girls, "Met her on a Sunday and my heart stood still, da doo run, run, run, da doo run, run". Were the surgeons successful in excising your surgically stitched-on pants?

How your poor brother Robby had to suffer through a tumultous marriage to Kirstie Alley. Thank goodness for syndicated television series - his career is once again on its destined path and from the divorce settlement he can now buy as many bigearbloods as he pleases. I believe he's purchased one for each lovely maiden in his harem - VTrider, MAZ, AHC.

As for moi, my mammary canyons have deflated with age and I am stuck in the small Mexican town, slinging burritos.

[Robby Johnson]

First and foremost, I would never wear go-go boots. Instead, I am much more fond of the Prada velcro aquasocks that retail for the low Prada price of $295. But you're right - I'm totally Cameron.

Fear not, fair maiden! I shall make a personal delivery of your new bigbearblood very, very soon. Despite my stunning blue eyes and shocking blond hair, I'm still a Diaz at heart! My roots run deep (btw, where's Oribe when you need him for a quick touch-up?).

Robby, off to drink Yellow Birds (popular a.m. Mardi Gras drink, VT Rider) for the afternoon ...

[B.G.M. heidi]

Robby, gotta run and pick up the kids from school but I think there's a fashion thread on the verge of breakthrough.

You post it okay in my absence - which designer would you choose to 'redesign' the riding garb?

[Portia]

Jair! I didn't know the Bigearblood Breeding Compendium had been translated from the German, or was that orignally in Dutch, already! I shall have to order a copy. Hopefully I can find it on Amazon.

I'm disappointed that the WBFSH has not yet admitted the Bigearblood Verband to full membership, but it's only a matter of time, I'm sure.

Bigoubet de Earouet is my absolute favorite! I understand even the O'Connors are considering adding some Bigearblood lines to their event horses -- Giltears, Custom Mule, and Prince Panears. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Robby Johnson]

It would be John Bartlett. He's the s*it, AFAIC!

What about you?

RJ (five years ago I'd have said Gaultier, but that was when I was a wasp-waisted Italian size 48 ... and who *really* wants to ride in rubber?)

[Everythingbutwings]

You are priceless! GILTEARS!

I am dying here! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[AHC]

And Portia, don't forget Abigail Lufkin's new bigearblood, Jacob TwoBigEars....

[Portia]

Jacob TwoBigEars! LOLOL!! I can just picture him!

Oh, this has got to stop. The partners are coming in wondering why the hell I'm laughing out loud to myself while sitting in front of the computer. Gawd knows the brief I'm supposed to be writing isn't anything to laugh about. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Hephaistion]

The olympic winners:

D'Seemyears
Kasham all Ears
Land 'o ears

and don't forget those great brothers John and Michael Whitakears!!!

/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[B.G.M. heidi]

Tis true, too short to wear Prada, Armani, John Bartlett well. I look I'm wearing ma-in-law's potato sack. And I know we drove his wife to suicide, but I'm kinda partial to Claude Montana - I think he'd create a doozy of a sexy riding jacket. Though not prototyped from his '80's collections - I'd probably get eaten alive by the shoulder pads. Other confession, I LOVE Geoffrey Beene. What an elegant jacket he'd make, with such pretty details. Would love to see what Galliano could create to replace the damn TS's. Would guess that it'd be a work of art and NO ONE would look as if they're stashing a colostomy bag.

BTW, John Whittaker has a new mount - Virtual Village Earham. Willi Melliger's now trying out a new mount, courtesy of Sea Urchin, Calvearo.

[Hephaistion]

Here a picture of the originator of the Royal Studbook for the Bigearbluebloods:

[Justbay]

Jair that is a good one!!!Can't stop laughing!

[AHC]

I am at my desk roaring with laughter thinking about the hairnets/helmets John and Michael Whitakears will need to wear in order to get that hair over the big ears look.... and then I see the picture of Prince Charles and laugh even harder....

[B.G.M. heidi]

Well you know what they say Jair, big ears, big...

[Hephaistion]

That is a very self-satisfied smile isn't it? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Hephaistion]

Deserted Road near Bigear Falls, Aculpulcopoco

Our task here in the paradise of the tropics has been a very difficult one, and we have faced some conflicting and unsubstantiated truths. Who is this Senor Sea Urchin? Is he merely a fable conjured up by the local populace as some sort of dark talisman whom to blame for the many hardships that they encounter, such as the unexplainable return of the giant locusts ever year, or the biogenic green ooze that often comes up the well shafts from time to time. Or is he real? Perhaps a modern version of Jekyll and Hyde created through the use of Alien DNA during the 1950's USDF experiments. An experiment that may very well have resulted in his superior strength, and equine-like senses that has enabled him to not only seemingly communicate on another level with his bigearbloods, but to be overly quick to startle at even the tiniest noise or object out of place. We believe this is why he has proved so elusive.

Until we have further hard evidence, we can only merely extrapolate at the socioparanormalequestrian long term effects that his mere on-going existence may have.

The truth is out there /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[brilyntrip]

Cackling here sooo funny!!!!Am crying thank you Jair you are too much

[Everythingbutwings]

Long undiscovered Southwestern marine creature, the "Long Ears Monster" has been sighted in the waters off Mexico's premier resort. Verified accounts tell shocking tales of it's incredible daring attempts to peek under Moesha's serape. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Agent AHC reporting.... Agent MAZ and I are on the case and as soon as we recover from our wicked hangovers, we will provide all of you with further information.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Portia]

Wicked hangovers, huh? Were you drinking tequila shots out of the souvenier Bigearblood glasses again?

[AMom]

Where did this come from? It has a faded folder and the last reply is from January 2001 but it is on the front page? Is it just me...??? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[Chrissy]

I see no pictures. I wish to see pictures. *stomps foot* IS THERE NO END??!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Common sense aint so common.

[dublin]

I noticed the same thing earlier, CWP, and wondered what was going on???

I think if you post a message and then subsequently delete it, that the topic does still stay bumped up to the first page. So maybe that's what happened here....

Actually, I had moved it back here from the "pruned" H/J topics purgatory (the slew of old topics I need to go through and delete the majority of) for brilyntrip, who wanted to post the pix on some other thread.

But looks like the pix didn't get moved, eh?

Hmm. Time for me to bug Infopop again. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[brilyntrip]

After the thread about rule change proposals I just had to have the big earblood thread again..
The part that still kills me is the names "I'm All Ears" etc etc .....Honestly this thread and teh BB movie thread are my all time favs thank you ERIN!
