Tiny horse runs amok

It's definitely panicking because of the Peruvian cover of the Carpenter's "On Top of the World". I ran around the living room in a similar fashion until this video ended.

I have one of these things, it's gotten loose a few times, each time I've given up and just waited for him to get hungry and come looking for food. Now I tie him to a cinder block and move him around my yard, haven't mowed the grass in four months. Between this guy and my goats I have the best manicured lawn ever, except for all the poop, but you get used to that.

amok |əˈmək; əˈmäk| (also amuck)
adverb (in phrase run amok)
behave uncontrollably and disruptively

hmmm, I don't know. I think the horse is doing ok in the uncontrollably part, but Failing in the disruptive part. I just don't think this qualifies as amok. Maybe if he knocked over a couple of those other handlers, and got a few other ponys running around he'd have his disruption cred.

So in closing I'll give that horse a decent frenzy, but no amok.

If I were forced to listen to progressive rock, use buckets for shoes and speak only in adverbs while being cattle-prodded I'd run away too.

Now that we're both done talking about things that would make us personally run away... I'm guessing you're commenting on why the horse was running.

For all you know, the horse's owners gently massage it's hooves as he sits on a 1,000 thread count pillow, leisurely eating steel cut oats flown in fresh daily.

I mean... it's a horse show. They probably treat the animals the same way the dog owners from dog shows treat their pets... which is to say, better than anyone of us has been treated by another human being.

You really think they have him pulling the worlds tiniest plow in the worlds tiniest field to grow the worlds tiniest corn?

I so wanted to find something great by Fred Willard to say here:

'I don't think I could ever get used to being poked and prodded like that. I told my proctologist one time, "Why don't you take me out to dinner and a movie sometime?" '

You'd run around like crazy too, without your busy bee.

Do you know they now train miniature horses to be guides for the blind? I accidentally came across a website for tee-tiny sneakers for them.

I might be movin' to Montana soon
Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss
Raisin' it up
Waxin' it down
In a little white box that I can sell uptown

By myself, I wouldn't have no boss
'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss
Raisin' my lonely dental floss

Well I just might grow me some bees
But I'd leave the sweet stuff
For somebody else...
But then, on the other hand I might
Keep the wax
N' melt it down
Pluck some floss
N' swish it aroun'

And I'd have me a crop
An' it'd be on top (that's why I'm movin' to Montana)

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a dental floss tycoon (yes I am)
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mental-toss flycoon
(whatever that is)
Oh lookout!

I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all night an' all
Afternoon...

Oh I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though he's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or blanket on anyway
But anyway...

I'm pluckin' the ol' dental floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks

I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
An' ride that sucker all along the borderline
With a pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
But by myself I wouldn't have no boss
'Cause I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss

Raisin' my lonely dental floss
Raisin' my lonely dental floss

Well I might ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin' in the moon-lighty night
And then I'd get a cuppa coffee
N' give my foot a push...
Just me 'n the pygmy pony
Over by the dental floss bush

And then I might just jump back on
An' ride like a cowboy (dipshit)
Into the dawn to Montana

Movin' to Montana soon
(Yippy-Ty-O-Ty-Ay)
Movin' to Montana soon...

Simply put, we do some weird and needless stuff to animals. That tiny horse is expressing his rage and mockery of the entire tiny horse and animal breeding industry. Inside his tiny horse brain he is chanting, "Att-ic-a! Att-ic-a! Att-ic-a!" as he rounds the dirt prison desperately trying to inspire his other miniature brethren to rally. Run little horsey, run for all of us.

For all of your monkey on horse cravings, may I present Steve Martin's rendition of Marty Robbins' El Paso:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCP3wKTajsU

Steve Martin opens the video riding in on a tiny horse and there are several monkeys on tiny horses (and donkeys?) around the 3:15 mark. There's some great moments involving an elephant too.

Minty: Yeah. I especially liked the line: "Sorry I was late. I kinda dragged my heels." Haw haw.

I think my fave Montana is from YCDTOSA#4 where he says "An' ride like a dipshit into the dawn to Montana..." but the "Whipping Post" version from YCDTOSA#2 is so wonderfully deviated:

"Get a person...
And tie them up...
And beat the living shout out of them until that guy in the audience is satisfied!

But by myself I wouldn't have no boss..."

Man, I miss Frank...

BTW, (getting even more totally off topic) I've asked Antinous to put us in touch. I think you'll really like this Floyd boot I mentioned in another thread where they perform the Atom Heart Mother Suite in its entirety. Awesome quality too. I'll mail it your way if you pass along your address. =D

we r lucky here in t-pa to have an excellent tribute band called " bogus pomp" i met the lead guitarist a few times as he was a great friend of our guit player. every year,including last friday, we have 'zappaween'. this year with ike willis and napoleon murphy brock "flies all green and buzzin', in him's dungeon of dispair" . so much awesomesauce! this year was my 7th. back in '99 they did a night with frank zappa /bogus pomp with the fla. symphony orchestra, doing two of his orchestral pieces. started off with just the guitar player, then the orchestra came out and played for about an hour doing one piece. then the band came out after a brief intermission and played with the orchestra for about anhour. then they all took bows then bogus pomp came out and did zoot allures and peaches en regalia. amazing. check 'em out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--TEKwSUQBQ
