Reasons to Avoid the Steeplechase
The 67th running of the Iroquois Steeplechase is Saturday and, at the risk of offending my Nfocus cohorts upstairs who generously ply me with Hot Tamales, I'm here to say there are myriad reasons to avoid this event. (To support Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, just write a check.)
Back to those reasons: If you don't have an aversion to animal cruelty, then consider the portable potties, which are often positioned beyond a well-traveled swath of mud; the inbred monied elite who, what with their plastic surgery and creepy smiles, look like Appalachians in linen; and the overabundance of dirty feet, which happen when the younger attendees abandon their open-toed contraptions for a more carefree existence.
Other reasons include possible sitings sightings of John Jay Hooker and Vic Lineweaver.

"the inbred monied elite"?... You are an idiot.

OTOH she could go to the hill with the riffraff.
I am reminded of a thing I saw at a steeplechase long ago when one of Nahville's finest MD's was caught inside a porta-pottie and his buds rocked it back and forth until it turned over.
An event like that can't be all bad.
Maybe more fun than hanging out in the Arcade, smoking and picking on the normals.
Posted 05/09/2008 at 08:41:05 PMQuick question...
How would one "site" John Jay Hooker? Were one to sight him across the way, would that make his location his "site".
'Spose so.
Now, Lineweaver is an entirely different problem.

Posted 05/12/2008 at 09:23:05 AMSo I was out of town during the Steeplechase. Did all the horses survive this year?
Posted 05/13/2008 at 09:33:55 PMI hope the "normals" had fun dumping excrement on each other.
