Hey, tiff
Athena: Hold your horses, Belly Boy!
Bellerophon: I’ve only got one, and—Hey, come back Peg!!!
Athena: Should’ve clipped his wings…
Ah-but don’t you own one called Charley?
That sounds like something one would say right before socking you in the arm.
Or the pain of a knee jerk reaction to some outlandish humor
Hah!
Now that’s a word of warning if I ever heard one.
As Lugosi said, Beware! Take care!
Nananoyz! Thank you for the shout-out on Facebook. I really appreciate it. Really, really.
You’re welcome! Really, really. (“I love you, really, really” is how my husband has signed almost every card he’s ever given me since before we were even married 43 years ago. The one time he didn’t add the “reallys” I thought maybe he wanted a divorce.)
Reblogged this on davidbruceblog #2.
Thanks DBB!
Ha ha 🤣
Cheers, Shelie!
Wonder where all those horse galloped off to…. 😂
I hear mules are much the same only more.
My dad always said that too. What a random phrase.
I typed in the word, horse, into my site search and was surprised to see how many came up. Apparently it is a theme of mine of which I was not aware. That said, i grew up at the end of the tv cowboy era, so I guess there were still a lot of ‘horse’ phrases going around. Somewhere in one of my notebooks I know I wrote a few variations of the phrase, ‘good ole horse sense’, so it appears there are more to come!
Looking forward to them. :)
I havent heard that one in a while. My old man used to pull out “Old horse” or “Don’t spare the horses”
It hadn’t occurred to me at the time, but yeh, I guess it may be a lost phrase.
I spent a lot of time in the country so horses played a big part in all sorts of dialogue. Plus “horse” cookies were the first kind I ever stepped on. I’ve avoided most others, peanut butter, chocolate chip etc in my lifetime.
hah!
It’s a shame that this reply thread didn’t continue until this day. I really wanted to write “The horse is dead: Dismount”
It’s all in the mind!
