Actually, John, I would love to attend. You're going to have to give me directions though, because holy hell, you literally live in no-man's land ;)

Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
So I've learned, Ms. Grant. So I've learned. My wife farts in her sleep. I find it endearing but I dare not ever bring it up with her. I wouldn't ever want to rock the boat here ;)

Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
When I think about farts I think about my high school pal Lefty. Lefty's dad had a sign in their garage, and this was what it said: "Feel free to fart." One time Lefty's dad beat me at ping pong. I used a paddle and he used a brick. And he beat the snot out of me. Anyway, I think about Lefty when I think about farts which goes back to his second marriage. I think it was his second. I would ask him, but he lives in Spain now. Plus he discovered Jesus. People that discover Jesus tend to forget their past, especially when farts are somehow involved. So, Lefty joined the Navy after high school so I didn't get to see him much, but he managed to marry this gal from Costa Rica, I think she was in the Navy too. I went to his folks house to meet them, they had a nice pool and a jacuzzi. I remember sipping a drink in the jacuzzi and watching Lefty and his new wife clowning around in the pool. They were fighting and laughing, I had no idea what it was all about. Then I dove in the pool to get the heat off of me, and I swam by them. Know what they were up to? They were farting ON each other, laughing like schoolkids. While I would love to report that a family that farts together, stays together, unfortunately that isn't always the case. Lefty divorced her some years ago. He's in good shape though, Spain is treating him well.

Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
"But most horses will lie down for a brief rest every day, if they have a comfortable place to do so." Isn't that pretty much what I've been stating in this thread all along? Why do you introduce unnecessary drama into the comments here? You could have reached the same conclusion after comment number three. Mindy, I sincerely hope that you continue to contribute here but I also hope that you not read more into a comment than at face value the comment deserves over-interpretation. I don't camp out on your comments here, and I don't think that anyone is picking on you. Horses spend most of their time on their feet. One reason for that certainly is related to their guts. Unlike humans, horses don't throw-up when they get sick, they can't. They get tied-up easily. Often, horses die from it. But a working horse doesn't have a lot of weight to screw up their intestines when they lie down, so they're more apt to get off of their feet and snooze or roll around. One of the coolest things you'll ever see is a young colt rolling around in a sand pit. Like a big giant puppy.

Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
Re #15: I'll gladly take your word for it. I think back on all of the zany things I did in my youth and it never occurred to me to light my farts on fire. I reckon us kidz were all too busy with the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll aspect of youth ;) #16: This site is excellent in every way. It's a great publication and the online version gives everyone great latitude to voice their opinions. You need to go back and read your first comment here that states something about any horse laying down being a dead horse, and chase the comments up to this point. If you still have an issue, then I recommend you visit your local bank and get a small loan on some raw materials; then you can build a bridge; then you can GET OVER IT.

I don't target Mindy nor anyone else, I respond to the story and the comments. If someone leaves a comment that I find to be factually incorrect, then I'm liable to say something. Otherwise, why would I comment? For example, I've never tried to ignite a fart. I have no comment concerning fart ignition, because I have nothing on which to base an opinion. In other words, were I to offer an opinion concerning fart ignition and someone found it to be incorrect and commented as such, I wouldn't take it personally. I would think that - as with anything, really - farts vary from person to person.

Public Records Suggest Southwestern College Used Public Funds Frivolously
Re #107: "Incidentally, truthhurtsright and refriedgringo are absolute idiots." Wow. And to think that just yesterday, I was only an idiot. Now, I'm absolute, in that no matter how negative I am, I'm certainly on top. Thanks for the crown. And thanks for the "private" message, too - I'd repeat it in here, but you used naughty words. Damn, I feel quite special today! By the way, hope you're not re-elected this afternoon. Have a nice day :)

Escondido Council Candidate Smells Brown Act Violation
Re #17: I agree, I can't think of a Padres AAA affiliate that played in Yuma. Spring training, obviously, but it wouldn't make sense otherwise, Yuma isn't exactly market-worthy of a AAA team.

Actually, John, I would love to attend. You're going to have to give me directions though, because holy hell, you literally live in no-man's land ;)— November 6, 2010 4:04 p.m.
Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
So I've learned, Ms. Grant. So I've learned. My wife farts in her sleep. I find it endearing but I dare not ever bring it up with her. I wouldn't ever want to rock the boat here ;)— November 5, 2010 8:38 a.m.
Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
When I think about farts I think about my high school pal Lefty. Lefty's dad had a sign in their garage, and this was what it said: "Feel free to fart." One time Lefty's dad beat me at ping pong. I used a paddle and he used a brick. And he beat the snot out of me. Anyway, I think about Lefty when I think about farts which goes back to his second marriage. I think it was his second. I would ask him, but he lives in Spain now. Plus he discovered Jesus. People that discover Jesus tend to forget their past, especially when farts are somehow involved. So, Lefty joined the Navy after high school so I didn't get to see him much, but he managed to marry this gal from Costa Rica, I think she was in the Navy too. I went to his folks house to meet them, they had a nice pool and a jacuzzi. I remember sipping a drink in the jacuzzi and watching Lefty and his new wife clowning around in the pool. They were fighting and laughing, I had no idea what it was all about. Then I dove in the pool to get the heat off of me, and I swam by them. Know what they were up to? They were farting ON each other, laughing like schoolkids. While I would love to report that a family that farts together, stays together, unfortunately that isn't always the case. Lefty divorced her some years ago. He's in good shape though, Spain is treating him well.— November 4, 2010 10:10 p.m.
Horse Sleep, Flatulent Vapor, Prison Life for Disabled
"But most horses will lie down for a brief rest every day, if they have a comfortable place to do so." Isn't that pretty much what I've been stating in this thread all along? Why do you introduce unnecessary drama into the comments here? You could have reached the same conclusion after comment number three. Mindy, I sincerely hope that you continue to contribute here but I also hope that you not read more into a comment than at face value the comment deserves over-interpretation. I don't camp out on your comments here, and I don't think that anyone is picking on you. Horses spend most of their time on their feet. One reason for that certainly is related to their guts. Unlike humans, horses don't throw-up when they get sick, they can't. They get tied-up easily. Often, horses die from it. But a working horse doesn't have a lot of weight to screw up their intestines when they lie down, so they're more apt to get off of their feet and snooze or roll around. One of the coolest things you'll ever see is a young colt rolling around in a sand pit. Like a big giant puppy.— November 4, 2010 1:27 a.m.

Re #15: I'll gladly take your word for it. I think back on all of the zany things I did in my youth and it never occurred to me to light my farts on fire. I reckon us kidz were all too busy with the sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll aspect of youth ;) #16: This site is excellent in every way. It's a great publication and the online version gives everyone great latitude to voice their opinions. You need to go back and read your first comment here that states something about any horse laying down being a dead horse, and chase the comments up to this point. If you still have an issue, then I recommend you visit your local bank and get a small loan on some raw materials; then you can build a bridge; then you can GET OVER IT.— November 3, 2010 4:24 p.m.

I don't target Mindy nor anyone else, I respond to the story and the comments. If someone leaves a comment that I find to be factually incorrect, then I'm liable to say something. Otherwise, why would I comment? For example, I've never tried to ignite a fart. I have no comment concerning fart ignition, because I have nothing on which to base an opinion. In other words, were I to offer an opinion concerning fart ignition and someone found it to be incorrect and commented as such, I wouldn't take it personally. I would think that - as with anything, really - farts vary from person to person.— November 2, 2010 5:40 p.m.
Public Records Suggest Southwestern College Used Public Funds Frivolously
Re #107: "Incidentally, truthhurtsright and refriedgringo are absolute idiots." Wow. And to think that just yesterday, I was only an idiot. Now, I'm absolute, in that no matter how negative I am, I'm certainly on top. Thanks for the crown. And thanks for the "private" message, too - I'd repeat it in here, but you used naughty words. Damn, I feel quite special today! By the way, hope you're not re-elected this afternoon. Have a nice day :)— November 2, 2010 5:06 p.m.
Escondido Council Candidate Smells Brown Act Violation
Re #17: I agree, I can't think of a Padres AAA affiliate that played in Yuma. Spring training, obviously, but it wouldn't make sense otherwise, Yuma isn't exactly market-worthy of a AAA team.— November 1, 2010 1:40 a.m.
