[Canter]

Colin, somehow I think there's no way to win this bet. Unless you "volunteer" to fall off again ... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Hephaistion]

Sea Urchin. No question /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Hell, he'd win on foot! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[DMK]

Now, Jair... are you insinuating something about my horse? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[AHC]

What about Duffy and Riley?

[Alex Trebek]

Just to clarify Colin - are you talking about highest score on their hunter trip, or highest score for their swan dive? If the latter, then Colin will win, hands down, or nose down, as it were!

[Hattie]

SU must be VERY special for DMK to consider him to ride her precious Robbie!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Everythingbutwings]

This IS difficult! Don't leave Slugger out of the picture, either /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[DMK]

It's not that we are slighting all the other A/A riders out there, it's just that we must honor what has truly become a monument to BB culture... The Great Colin-Sea Urchin Rivalry...

Not unlike the Florida-Georgia, Oklahoma-Texas, Auburn-Alabama, UNC-Duke rivalries, this one must be treated as something special (albeit its a rivalry with higher literacy), and cannot be bothered with those trifling other riders... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

But as to your point, Hattie... why yes... you MUST be correct... /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[VTrider]

that in the polls...Sea Urchin on a cow is beating Colin on my good horse /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Not one to brag /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif but he did get 2 4ths, a 3rd and 2 2nds 2 weeks ago when he carried me into the A/O's for the first time. :sniff: :sniff:

Y'all will see - Colin and PK will have their name in lights...their classic scores will be so high, that show man't will invite them to compete in the Saturday Night Classic as the lone A/A entry...maybe Sea Urchin can catch a glimpse of that course as he is taking coats and handing out shrimp at the big dinner that night.

[Everythingbutwings]

Sort of a match race /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I shall provide libations for the audience and we can Cheer for our favorites.

I would imagine the "cheers" will be quite raucous as the Cape Codders and Bloody Mary's are consumed. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[SoEasy]

HMMM not sure editing the question after people read and start answering is nice!!!

did this start out maybe saying ....
Sea Urchin on DMK's Robbie

Play nice! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[AHC]

I don't know SoEasy.... he might do okay on this cow. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[SoEasy]

AHC ... I do love your Mackie ...
do I remember right that somehow you convinced our Heidi to part with her???? Silly Heidi!

I bet our SU could do just fine with her ... was that an offer ???? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[AHC]

Thanks SoEasy, I think she's pretty special myself. Actually it was MAZ who convinced Heidi and Hans to part with Archie, a young jumper with loads of talent and personality. I had a chance to ride him recently -- he's a very cool horse.

(I bought Mackie from a friend who got her when she was 3 1/2. My trainer and his wife have known her since the day she was born, and I was there the first day she jumped a crossrail. Unfortunately for my friend, he and Mackie did not get along very well. His loss has definitely been my gain!)

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.... I am afraid that SU will not be riding Mackie at Middleburg. This year all of her jumps are reserved for me. And, as Colin and I are the co-founders (along with SandyM) of the Native American Warmblood Registry, I couldn't rightly loan Mackie to SU and put Colin at such a big disadvantage. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Basix]

There are rumors that they will be making their debut in the AA hunters at the Middleburg Classic...watch out for a very large grey blur, and I don't mean Moesha.

[VTrider]

he'd have to loose the skunk hat if he expects a ribbon at the Middleburg Classic!

[Colin]

I can't believe the lack of support from my fellow BBers. After all of the entertainment I have provided you over the past year ++ this is the thanks I get?

You may wish to rethink your bets....I have a fabulous plan for the judge on Thursday evening..... a little wine, a little dine, a little...... /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[JumpTheMoon]

Colin, have you made sure this judge is male? /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[VTrider]

JTM - Yes, the judge is male...

I can't wait for you guys to eat your words. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Colin may be a crazy Mormon from Utah, but the girl can find the jumps like nobody's business.

Colin will have quite an impressive team of supporters at the in-gate...

[DMK]

Now VTR, "male" is no firm guarantee that Colin's plan will work!

On the other hand, Robbbie just adores people laying all over his neck!!

[Colin]

Fear not, precious VTRider.....SU doesn't stand a chance! I've got Ragan Roberts stopping in SLC soon to school me on 'Charmed' and 'Bravo Delta'. I will be completely TUNED!

Plus, will try to fit a California horse show in before the Classic.... /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Sounds a bit desperate to me Colin?! Kind of like going on a starvation diet to fit into a too small bikini overnight! LOL

[Colin]

If Sea Urchin wins, I will take him out to dinner at McDonalds

If I win, Sea Urchin will take me out to a gucci dinner, buy a bottle of champagne, provide a romantic toast, get a little loopy, and.....hehehehehehehehe!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Not desperate, MissXani. I've never had to go on a starvation diet, either.....You forget, I'm only about 100lbs (with my hair wet)

THERE IS NO BIKINI TOO SMALL FOR MY HOT BODY!!!! LOL!

I must, however, prepare myself the best I can, especially since I will be sitting on the perfect PK horse of VTRider....oh, so perfect!!!!!
/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[havaklu]

What about if they did the Ariat as well - then we would have another element.

So who would be the "combined" winner if they did the Ariat and the Classic and we combined scores?

Actually since DMK's gucci horse sometimes has issues with "jumps of color" SU might need my mare for the Ariat - she could care less about colored rails. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[DMK]

Well I don't know Colin... SU might be a tad worn out, you know... I may require a "nice dinner" myself for handing over a gucci horse /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

You are right about that 'klu! Silly boy, on week TWO at Biltmore, we came around the corner to the thrid line and it was the Dreaded Red Flowers (I have a red flowerbox in my ring at home /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif ), and he started to peek like crazy at it! I just closed my leg and he made it his best jump of the day... Of course, it would have been a tad hard to "equitate" over that jump /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif )

[Colin]

Oh DMK...I have no problem sharing SU with you!!! We'll definately plan on Friday and Saturday evening -- (it may take two nights).....how lovely!!! May I bring the digital so we can share with the rest of the BBers?

[havaklu]

Perhaps you ought to stop by KY in August. A certain trainer from CA will be judging...

So if you need some additional ring time to take on SU - I'm sure you could find something to show in front of CB.

[Colin]

OMG! You're getting me excited!!!! The thought of the studley Wrangler man makes me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[havaklu]

have to be wearing something bit more "formal" in the judges box.

Imagine Studly man all cleaned up with a jacket and tie...

[Colin]

You're totally traumatizing me, havakulu! Don't know if I can stand it!

[DMK]

I don't know if that is fair, klu - making Colin divert her attention between her two favorite males! Might be more than the BB can withstand! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

As for SU, you know, I hear he's a pretty busy guy, we may need to "schedule ahead" as it were...

[Kahuna]

If you ask nicely, I'll try to get a picture of him for you!

BTW - last year at the Horse Park shows in August I got to pick him up at his hotel and take him to the show! Jealous??? /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[havaklu]

Did you have to go to the hotel to "pick him up" or were you already "there"?

Kahuna and CB have known each other for quite awhile if I'm not mistaken. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Kahuna]

I was asked to play chauffeur and pick him up and deliver him safely (I drive like a maniac) to the show. Mission accomplished - I didn't scare him during the coummute! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[havaklu]

Well I'm sure I could take control of his schedule so to speak - at the very least keep him focused...

[Colin]

Oh Kahuna.....what fun! yes, I must have a picture. However, please take it BEFORE you mention my name.....that may cause a bit of trauma.... Poor CB -- He just didn't know how to handle me at all! !LOL!

[Colin]

So SU has to divide his time between:

Havaklu
DMK
Colin

Hummm....I think I'll let DMK "prep him" for me, and I'll take him 2nd. When he's going really well but not too tired yet, eh?

[Kahuna]

I'll do my best! I'll pretend like I'm taking a picture of the horse in the ring and take a picture of 'him' instead. He'll never know. MUHAHAHAHA!

Now if I can remember to pack my camera..... /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Hattie]

that SU is veddy popular with the ladies! All this fighting among the BB ladies. What's NEXT?! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[havaklu]

just want's distract and tire him out before the classic -

but DMK and I will make sure he is up to the challenge. DMK has her magic message techniques and I will assit in catering to his every wish.

Have no fear SU will be in top form for the classic. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[DMK]

That's true... After I am done with him, Sea Urchin will be very... flexible...

[Colin]

However, rumor has it that the SU will be sleeping in his car at Lexington!

$50 to whomever provides Colin with the proof picture!!! LOL!

[Hephaistion]

I think you have that backwards MissXani, I thought Colin payed $25 for an hour ride? /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Excuse me, Jair???

Hello????

This is your old friend, Colin....remember?????

You used to be extra, extra sweet to me!!!!!

Methinks it possible that even Jair has fallen victim to Sea Urchins charms? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Colin]

If you're jealous, jair, I'm sure that DMK and I would be willing to share some of SU with you??? I think I'd prefer him first, though....wouldn't you, DMK???

Jair, you can make him take you to dinner Sunday night...how's that?

[DMK]

Never let it be said I was not a generous person! Of course I'll share!

[Hephaistion]

havaklu, you've OBVIOUSLY never seen Colin rideI take it?!

[Colin]

No Colin abuse!!!! Colin rides great!!!!

OK SU.....the horse gods are watching you....

I just booked my ticket! hehehehehe!

Can't wait to see everyone! What fun, fun, fun!

[havaklu]

but I'm guessing she can get the job done based on documented results.

Anyone who can place 2nd in an Ariat class of over 30 can't be all bad...

[VTrider]

the emotional trauma you are inflicting upon me by only giving my horse 9-freaking votes.

I am telling you people - he reads the course diagrams for me!! He's a star! Would jump over a burning car if you asked him to!

That nag of DMK's...jumps like a three-legged nanny goat in heat with mastitis! Slap a set of horns on his head and the package is complete!

DMK's nag may have natural rhythm, but my horse can buck one stride out from a huge oxer and still jump it like Rox Dene...

Gee Colin - Maybe you should do the 4' workings on PK as a school for the AA's?

[Colin]

Fear Not, VT....this is actually good luck that we are losing the vote. If we had won the COTH BB vote, then we would lose at the show. But since we're losing the vote, we will win at the show.

Plus, people just feel sorry for SU....that's all. And the "impressive amount of votes" he's receiving are 90% HIS OWN ALTERS! LOL!

Poor VT. It's not your MOUNT that's the issue, it's that up downer you've stuck your poor horse with. Can we just say that Helen Keller would have a better chance of finding 8 jumps?!

[DMK]

I'll have you know that Robbie can actually leave from South Carolina to clear an oxer at the Biltmore, and still do it in FINE form /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I know this. I have done it. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[Colin]

SU - you just WAIT!!!!! LOL!

I will be in SUCH GOOD riding form b/c VT is willing to house me and provide for a shower and bed!

BTW - are you STILL PLANNING on sleeping in your station wagon at Lexington? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Look for yourself, L-O-S-E-R!!!!!!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Isn't that a coincidence, Colin - it looks like someone changed the order of the contestants on your original poll, so that the numbers are switched. You are getting DESPERATE!!!!

play fair!!!

I put the poll back in the right order /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Colin]

Fair? On the "Off Course" thread?

Thought as long as we were nice and didn't hurt feelings that we were fine.

We're having FUN!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[DMK]

heh heh heh...

/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[havaklu]

he's been awfully quiet -

DMK? Do you have SU sequestered at your barn polishing his skills with your Robbie?

Or perhaps you have him doing barn chores by day and you reward his aching muscles with nightly massage therapy????

[havaklu]

can we perhaps set the poll back to it's original form???

/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[SoEasy]

Hi 'klu ... I put it back ... AGAIN /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
methinks some people like to WIN /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[brilyntrip]

I cannot make a fair assesment of the statistical LIKELY HOODS here.I have not seen any of you or your horses. I had hoped but it was not to be!!! So since SU has not volunteered any response what so ever I am forced to give COLIN the nod.

[geckoUBC]

When is this class to take place? I will cheer for Colin... Utah's kinda on the west coast and us west-coasters gotta stick together! Plus, I saw Colin at Tahoe last year and that girl has the distance EVERY time!

Since the choices were switched, it confused people. They were all trying to vote for ME, but then SoEasy switched them back, and the votes ended up going to Sea Urchin.....

[RumoursFollow]

A certain (yet nameless) former trainer of BOTH Colin and Sea Urchin has been informed of this thread and I was asked to relay the message that, in her experienced professional opinion, there was absolutely no way that Colin could beat Sea Urchin in any competition.

/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif RF /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Apparently they had that contest at last year's M'bug Classic DMK. Colin did all right in the Chug-a-Case phase, but need you be reminded how the Jump a Course phase turned out for her?!

[DMK]

Yes, Miss Xani... but I thought the goal was to be the BEST Lawn Dart?

Confused... /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[Everythingbutwings]

I thought the winner is the one who didn't spill the beer /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Colin]

I am SHOCKED! ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hummm......after all of our "bonding" in Ocala this past winter, too!

SU will be training with a married woman
Colin will be training with a sexy single man!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[Kennett Square]

I do have to agree with one of the many trainers that both Colin and SU have had. Her (said trainer)insight was remarkable, it's amazing the things that become clear when you have a vision!! Her thoughts were that there was no contest and SU will clearly emerge victorious. Colin, while attired in brown to keep the mud from showing from all the falls, was at one time a somewhat talented and promising rider. But after seeing her last year, and all the havoc wreaked on her riding talents from living in the great Morman state of Utah, well the word rusty could be the kindest moniker to be given.

On the otherhand SU is living in the lap of horse heaven and has many opportunities to polish his already supberb and superior A/A talents. It was heard said down Suffolk way "Wow can that boy ride a spotted pony!" How can you not stand up and notice talent like that?? I ask you??? We in the great Old Dominion are so honored to have him represent us in the great Celebrity Death Match at the Middleburg Classic.

These are just the things we local VA Aasociate Full Fledged Point Chasers hear at the shows. But don't Colin out.... She's a tough one!!

How SOON you forget -- just last year at Mosby's. Our bonding! Our hugs! Our 'love fest'! And LOSER SU wasn't even there!

Colin,

Darling don't cry!! I love you best!! These are just some of the mean things people are saying at the Associate level. No one on the circut thinks that, not even the confused old trainer you used to have. I know that you are a true competitor and contender. I say let the most inebriated win!!! Plus I haven't even voted yet. I want to have the deciding vote..... I promise this year I will take off work to watch this phenomenal showdown. It's right up there with the Kong Wall jump off!!! I can't wait. 38 days and counting...tick tick tick...

[Colin]

Colin just returned from an AA show in Colorado, where she procured TWO CATCH RIDES and won LOTS!

OUT OF 22 ADULTS, TOO!!!!

KS ---- You're in TROUBLE!

RF ----- You're in even MORE TROUBL!

SU ------- You'll be lucky if you make it out of the Middleburg Classic ALIVE! /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[VTrider]

Colin's mount for Middleburg got yesterday?

Rox Dene, Strapless and Justified will all be wanting pointers after they see Colin's round.

[Colin]

We need all the help we can get! LOL!

Colin is practicing the next TWO WEEKS IN A ROW at back-to-back Utah horse shows.

Trust me....if I can ride in the rings here, not to mention ride the horses here....I'll be GOLD for PK!

[VTrider]

let's reflect upon the two people that are helping Colin and SU at Middleburg - which one OBVIOUSLY has more pull in the horse show world. This really is no contest people - I don't understand why 5 pages of BS is still trying to convince people that SU actually has a snowball's chance in hell of beating Colin in the Classic!

[DMK]

Now VT... don't make me bring up the subject of... BENDING LINES! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[SoEasy]

Hey DMK!
are Bending lines somewhat like Broken lines?? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[VTrider]

Or the ground lines rolled out 65' from the jump?

Yep, Mr. PK got some "sharpening up" yesterday!

[RumoursFollow]

Awh, VTRider, sweetie, dont be upset, said trainer said the fact that the competition was so easily predictable had NOTHING to do with the perfect horse that Colin would be riding.

Had you but your check in the mail first... maybe the trainer would have had a different opinion. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

RF
"Let me win... and if I cannot,let me be brave in the attempt."

[Colin]

Yes, it's true!

Sea Urchin, the keeper of ALL THE GOOD GOSSIP, has been BRIBING PEOPLE for votes!

Is that the kind of leader you want?

Do that kind of behavior reflect that of a winner?

I think NOT! /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

You need to take a deep breath and stop making things up... its time to start practicing being a graceful loser! Not too much time left till MC!

Colin is practicing the next TWO WEEKS IN A ROW at back-to-back Utah horse shows.

Trust me....if I can ride in the rings here, not to mention ride the horses here....I'll be GOLD for PK!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


They have HORSE SHOWS in UTAH??? I had no idea! I've always thought of the Utah riding scene as.. well.. similar to the show scene in Antarctica. Or some other obscure country.

puurrrrfect cute pony!!!!back to back what rodeo rides?????perfect practice for lawndart imitations!!!!

[Reckoning]

To level the playing field, I suggest the contest be held on mechanical bulls. COTH BBers get scorecard ranging 1-10.

Sea Urchin has my support in showing any one of boys against PK, who is certainly tough competition. So tough in fact, that I vow to give up Robbie for the week so he may do the A/A's.

[Duffy]

I thought SU was riding DMK's Robbie?? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[DMK]

That is certainly what Robbie thought... I mean SU and Robbie have been communing so nicely, what with their massages and what not...

Not only that, Robbie has convinced SU to give up his trademark draping. I vow, we will have turned him into a new man!

And of course, PK thinks Robbie is just fine too - those two certainly hit it off in Culpeper (Robbie was schooling PK, as I gave VT helpful hints) /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Colin]

DMK - Can you EVEN BELIEVE that SU wants to Cheat on you and Robbie to ride Slugger's horse?

OMG! My suspicions were true.............

Fear not, precious DMK.....if that evil SU wants to cheat on you I will ride your pumpkin Robbie....forget that evil SU!!!! Pull the horse from him NOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[DMK]

Hmmm.... we could talk... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

(shhh... don't tell VT!!!)

[Colin]

And we could leave SU in the "dust" with Slugger's nags!

Yes....and that way I would win the bet no matter what!!!!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Haha if there are any horses left over I'll ride one in children's! Oh yeah I'm sure my mom would go for that... "You want to fly to Virginia to ride some stranger's horse!?! They could be an axe muderer!!!...."

/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[JumpTheMoon]

I'll come with you, LOL! I'm about as far from VA as your are! As long as we can find some horses to do the Children's on, we can have fun being the only kids there and making fun of all the old folks! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[Colin]

I'm coming all the way from UTAH -- just to hang out w/ the axe murderers.....I figure that I survived last year, I can do it again this year! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[geckoUBC]

Hehe sounds great JumpTheMoon. Where are you from?? Yes, we could spend all day mocking the adults... DMK, VTrider, Duffy, Sea Urchin, and is Moesha coming, and ESPECIALLY Colin - even though i think she'll win the bet.

How about we borrow some of Paige Johnson's horses? She lives in Virginia and god knows she has enough hunters to go around.. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Oh cutelilpony, you are a precious little pumpkin!!!! And soooooo incredibly brilliant!

It would be just fabulous if you could come to the horse show and mock all of us adults....especially the evil SEA URCHIN! LOL!

As a thank you for your support and confidence in me and PK, I will send you an autograph photo of our win picture! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[JumpTheMoon]

I sure hope you're in good shape. That one year older (Whats that...21 years older than me? ouch!) can make a lot of difference when attempting to run away from them axe murderers. Then again, if you're competing against SU, and hoping to WIN, you best be in top notch shape!

[JumpTheMoon]

It must get awfully expensive having to pay all these people to vote for you? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

Cutelilpony - i'm from Ontario. You don't think our bestest buddy Paige will mind, do you? I mean, we'd only be borrowing them for one division. Thats not too much to ask, is it?

Yeah, Slugger will probably ship her horses to the Middleburg Classic just out of spite and let Sea Urchin show them.

Rumours Follow will be on the scene w/ the digital camera ready to take the shot of the big miss!

DMK, Duffy, VTRider, Colin, Moesha, and others will be bonding and enjoying themselves at Mosbys while the evil Sea Urchin and the spiteful Slugger drown their sorrows in a bottle of cheap wine in a dark secluded corner of the horse show grounds! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Now Colin, are you sure you didn't mean "blackmail," not gossip? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

SU has contacted me in a desperate attempt to keep his ride on Robbie (hereinafter known as Robbie-bob, because gosh darn it, he's just that cute). It appears after much reflection on the state his life is in, and reaching the near dregs of society, as people laugh over his "classical drape", he has realized the only possible path to salvation is to ride Robbie-bob (who loathes a drape, classical or otherwise) in the MC and redeem himself in front of the VA faithful, who will undoubtedly be chanting his name in a Kennett Square Vodka-Cranberry Juice Induced Stupor....

[JumpTheMoon]

LOL! Don't be concerned for me! I am alrite, I promise! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Just ask Duffy! It's ok, you don't have to admit you are jealous, we will just assume! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I'm so traumatized that I talk to Sea Urchin on the phone AT LEAST 3-4 times a day! And he's EVIL!

OK, new bet... how long will this topic get? Will it be longer the famed "Question for Merry" or the Junior Clique thread?

My bet- if/when we reach 500ish posts, we will be so totally off topic that Erin will shut us down.

Or else Colin will be thrown off the BB yet again, therefore ending the thread.


Aleesha

[JumpTheMoon]

It won't pass the Jr Clique thread....I won't let that happen!!!!!!!!! It already IS completely off topic, LOL!!!!!

Jumpthemoon - this thread was a lot of lighthearted fun that none of the participants (Colin, SU, PK, VT, DMK or Robbie-Bob) objected to... let's keep it that way, hmm?

Nooo, JumpTheMoon, don't say that!! Or Erin will notice, and then it will be bye bye thread! (and possibly bye bye Colin??)

Erin noticed a long time ago, and her bet is that it won't make it anywhere near 500. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

But I will confess... he isn't as sharp at 3'0

[geckoUBC]

OK, admitted, Robbie-bob is very cute. BUT, will Sea Urchin get that jump out of him at EVERY jump? I think not! Anyways, he can jump 7 of the jumps like that but when he misses at the last one... /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Aleesha

[geckoUBC]

By the way, what are the show names of PK and Robbie?

Aleesha

[DMK]

Well DMK is VERY particular about who rides her precious Robbie, and she has been assured by a few reliable sources that SU is nicknamed after a famous sharpshooter in a James Fenimore Cooper novel... But of course, she wouldn't want to be bragging outright, so she will be coy about his nickname...

[Colin]

Quite impressive, I MUST admit.

But with Sea Urchin burying him to the jumps, poor boy won't be able to pick his legs up like THAT!!! He'll be trying to save the Sea Urchin and return him to ingate in one piece!

We show in children's (or juniors, of course it will be nice enough for juniors! I mean we are talking a big $$ horse here!). Then Colin will show in A/As! The perfect compromise.

clp and jtm, you are both too young to remember, but listen closely and re-read this thread: Missy Colin was a virtual Lawn Dart last year at M'burg Classic - went FLYING over her horse's head in the MAIN RING at night under the lights - come to your senses, kids, and go with the sure thing!!! After all, would slugger AND DMK back the losing horse in this race?!

[JumpTheMoon]

Don't dooooo this to me!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif:( I'm back at my tree. No more Remy for me. *sob* /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

[geckoUBC]

MissXani - wow, I had no idea she went flying UNDER THE LIGHTS! In front of all those people! Perhaps I must reconsider where my loyalties lie?

But, don't you feel sorry for poor Colin? Everyone is against her - slugger, Sea Urchin, DMK, MissXani... she needs SOME support!!!

Very nice of you, cutelp, but everyone is NOT again her - they're just trying to encourage her to take up a sport for which she shows some talent, like bowling perhaps. The poor girl has been trying to ride for 20 years, and can't find 4 out of 8 jumps on a good day. At her age, she could be in for a bad accident.....

I want to go on record saying I am not 'against' Colin. She makes that damn hard, but I have a forgiving nature. May all go well for everyone at this show.

Let the harrassment STOP!

Colin rides just fine!!!!! And has beaten you on NUMEROUS occasions!

Don't be so vendictive, my dear. I'll be there soon enough......it will all be ok.......trust me! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Alex Trebek]

Apparently Colin has conceded in defeat. A friend of mine just forwarded this e-mail that Colin sent:

I'm NOT GOING TO VA! IM CANCELLING FLIGHT AND SAVING IT FOR INDIO!

[Everythingbutwings]

I think it has been too long since the last competition /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

hmmmm... a change of titles? Is that your concession speech, Colin? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[I've Got a Secret]

I've been following this thread for some time. Does this mean Colin really HAS thrown in the towel and admitted defeat?

[Colin]

Is something happening with this thread?

No defeat for Colin! On September 21st Colin will officially triumph over the Sea Urchin!

[Colin]

Why won't you post under your real Sea Urchin name? A little insecure?????? /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[Colin]

After days of reflection, and reading through this thread, I have to gracefully admit defeat so as not to humiliate myself further at M'burg
Classic. I cannot hope to compete with a rider whose nickname in Virginia is Hawkeye. I will, of course, have a fun time anyway, seeing family and
friends.

[JumpTheMoon]

Colin, are you alrite? I think you need a vacation!!!

[Colin]

I'm fine, but you've obviously never seen the talented Sea Urchin ride. As our dear Kennett Square remarked at Upperville, it is indeed "poetry in motion".

[JumpTheMoon]

Are you SURE you're fine? Have you taken your temperature? What is with the sudden twist....oh boy oh boy!

[Colin]

Especially with princess Slugger's extremely fancy steeds, there is no way the Sea Urchin can be beat.

I suggest a tribute. A tribute to Sea Urchin!

[jsg24]

Colin, What has SU offered you for this concession?

[Colin]

Nothing, other than to let me watch him and learn

[Canter]

I'm still willing to bet a case of Bud on Colin. Anyone with the willpower to stay off COTH as long as she did has the willpower to defeat the dreaded Sea Urchin. Nice horses or not - SU could still miss!! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Colin]

Canter, thanks for the support, but seriously, I wouldn't want you to lose good beer. Sea Urchin just does NOT miss - ever!!

[JumpTheMoon]

If you insist...I guess I will have to go back and change my vote then.

[Colin]

In fact, I know how badly VTRider wants PK to win at Middleburg - I'm considering suggesting she just have Sea Urchin show him in the adults for
her. I can still have fun just watching and learning from seeing him ride.

[Everythingbutwings]

So gracious, so.... Virginian! Uncross your fingers THIS MINUTE!

[Colin]

Oh ETBW, this is no joke, and nothing's crossed. Having watched S.U. ride for years, I know whereof I speak, and I know my limitations.

[Heidi]

Snap out of it! Go grab some Bud light over lunch and please reconsider this terrifying display of humble defeat. My money's on you darlin'!

"Mommy, does it really matter?" - Sumo toddler, age 3

[Colin]

No heidi, it came to me in a clear vision, so to speak - no meds needed. Sea Urchin's talent will always win out; I really want VTRider's horse to
perform at his peak, so I think it only makes good sense to hand over the reins to S.U., accept defeat, and be there to cheer them on to their
inevitable victory.

[Everythingbutwings]

Colin, it is not like you to let poor PK down.

[Colin]

PK will be most happy with the perfect ride Sea Urchin will provide him with. I am most certain of that.

I am planning to take Sea Urchin out to a celebration dinner Friday evening, if anyone would care to join us. It will, of course, be fine dining, complete with Sea Urchin's favorite wine!

[Duffy]

Ok, Colin. Enough is Enough!!! I will buy you the freaking horse if you will stop already with these nauseating posts!!!!

BTW, count me in for dinner at Middleburg, so long as kids are taken care of! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I'll buy the wine if you pay for SU's other alcohol needs! /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Colin]

Oh Duffy, after all these years of denying S.U.'s riding superiority, I just can't keep it inside any longer. God knows I've tried.

Someone find that bottle of pills - FAST!!!!!!

Don't get stuck in the sludge if you're that confident in your ride!

[Duffy]

Geesh! Glad I'm not the only one, Silly Mommy!!! GAGAGAGAGAG /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Who said I, as owner of PK, would allow Su to ride him!! He has ridden him once before - not a pretty sight....my horse barely had any hocks left after SU got done wripping his mouth to shreads!!

[geckoUBC]

COLIN WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

What HAPPENED to you between 12:00 and 12:59??

I have come up with some possibilities to explain Colin's change of opinion:

1) Sea Urchin has taken over Colin's screen name, and, just to be safe has had someone abduct her.

2) Erin told Colin she'd get kicked off if she wasn't "civil" and Colin is taking the civil thing too far.


3) Colin has been drinking AGAIN.

Could the real Colin please come back???

Kennett Square: Lordy is that man single? I haven't seen such soft workman like postion since Frank Chapot was showing. Where does he ride? Is he on the East Coast or West Coast? Goodness a talent like that is wasted on just doing the A/A division!![/QUOTE]

Sorry VTrider, but when even a lowly dressage rider can see that the rider at least looks like he is in balance, you gotta say it is a lovely picture, even if it is Sea Urchin!

That's the attraction! /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Kennett Square]

Miss Xani,

I wish I could tell you the truth about SU. Yes he is single and available but his heart is with another. Yes he flirts, laughs and is extremely gallant but it is only a facade. Women have lined up in droves, and while the true Southern Gentleman he is continues to be most gracious and kind, we don't stand a chance. But feel free to take a number, maybe our luck will change. I'm #1 in line and I can get you bumped up to #949876911. Please let me know as soon as possible. I have others, who I am not as found of as you, wishing to move up.....Big Sigh....

In this day and age, how could such a phemomenal man be single? He rides, cooks, cleans and loves his family.....not to mention the good looks and old wealth. Aye yai yai (was that PI?)

[Colin]

Oh so true, KS.........what a remarkable man he is, indeed! Not only is he a gentleman of remarkable character, but his natural talent and ability as a rider make him an astounding "catch" for any woman!

Get that J out of your mouth.

Again, must I post this picture of the man you speak?

Gotta love that good ole' "I'm so constipated" picture /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Erin, can we get a "puking" face gremlin?

[Colin]

VTRider, you really need to get over this bitterness and realize, as I have, that having .U. show P.K. really is the best idea; that horse will be jumping like Rox Dene w/him. Because you went to a cow school is no reason for you not to publicly acknowledge S.U.'s talent and his generosity in trying to improve your horse for him. Think how much we can both learn"!

[This message was edited by Colin on Aug. 09, 2001 at 01:11 PM.]

[VTrider]

I bet SU was evil enough to email that to you and threaten you if you didn't post it.

What a loser.

How could you think that, VTrider!?!?!? /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Oh VTRider, of course no one's threatening me. I haven't talked to SU in months. After weeks of quiet reflection here in Utah, I have realized my limitations as a rider, as you should, and come to fully appreciate SU's innate talent. I will pray for you...

In fact, I'm going to ask everyone on the BB to join in group prayer for you - that you might find the spiritual peace that I have. Perhaps we can go to church together in Middleburg when I visit?

I am actually rethinking my entire fall schedule .What is the date of this classic???? SAT OR SUN????sept what???If I'm not judging I will make that awful drive and see this for myself.I cannot believe for one second that ornery ol' COLIN is throwing in the towel after all this time!!!

I am suspicious of possible "identity stealing" perhaps Erin will stop by and put everything right.

I was home sick the last few days and look what happened! OMG!

Fear not, precious VTRider....PK IS MINE for the Classic and we will triumph!

No church! No Sea Urchin worshiping! It's bud light, marlboros, and Sea Urchin bashing all the way! LOL!
