There was that women’s bobsled team. . .in living color, moving pitchers.

& since the horsie doin’ all the running, he don’t care if the guy bein’ all raped & shit.

Hey, what’s the deal with this “Common Decency” org that Brian May (ex of Queen) is pushing? Another lost cause?

He used “wind” power too!

Hey, I had a good run.
You will like Mahmoud, Peace Be Upon Him.

I thought Jockeys actually started the whole underpants thing with their ‘Jockey Shorts’ brand.

Maybe he’s really a Commando on a secret mission.

Dick Francis never mentioned the no underpants thing in any of his books. It lends a whole new complexion to the stories to think that the heroes were wandering around the whole time unencumbered by y-fronts.

If not a Commando, then a Boxer.

I just goggled Mr. May and this sounds promising, “And it’s about radically changing the composition of Parliament – moving it forward, consigning the failed two-party system to history.”

Yeah, every time someone talks about ‘radically’ changing something the thing that’s radically changed is never quite the same, or functional, afterwards. The two party system isn’t perfect but to paraphrase Churchill, it’s certainly better than all the alternatives. In Ireland, where I’m exiled, sorry, willingly enjoying my stay, all sorts of nuttiness goes on in the Dail when the major party in power is trying to appease one of the little bitty loony tunes groups it’s in coalition with in order to stay in power.

As for the name, ‘Common Decency’, I’d like to believe they mean it but I’m old enough, and more than cynical enough, to know that whenever the words ‘people’s’, ‘democratic’, or ‘republic’ are used the object is usually the diametric opposite of the first definition of those words in the OED. I imagine that Mr. May’s organization will get away from him and wind up being neither common, nor decent.

But I could be wrong.

I would not be too surprised if there was a stoat or 3 trying to gnaw through to the jockey’s spinal cord.
Sometimes they cannot locate a woodpecker in time.

Well perhaps a Boxer Rebellion – caught shorts, er, short.

And it’s possible he IS wearing underwear and we just can’t see it… There might be something thong in the photograph.
