PRESIDENT'S DAY: RECOVERING FROM COWBOY FANTASIES

by Orson on Feb 19, 2007 9:49 AM EST

Enjoy President's Day. We'll be revering the memory of our favorite president today, the immortal Rutherford B. Hayes, and applying Ben-Gay to every non-mucous membrane surface of our bodies following a weekend of horse riding. If we regain sensation below the waist, we'll post tomorrow. (Little known fact: blogging with numb chundle region is dangerous to your health.)

The glory of equestrian sports: Orson gets reacquainted with Mother Earth.

Hayes, that election-stealer? Should have expected as much from a Floridian.

The hell with President’s Day! We’re celebrating Mardi Gras down here. Today, tomorrow, and then Lent. I’m story alcohol in my system for the next 2 days to compensate for the lack of for the next 40 days.

Point of order, Hayes was from Ohio. Which doesn’t negate the election-stealing accusation.

Hayes’ accendecy to the presidency ended reconstruction down here in the south…which Florida is not a part of…

I guess that’s why Larry Flynt doesn’t blog.

Are you serious? Come on man, the little pony merry-go-round at Wally World made your nuts go numb? Or was it the man who kicked you in said nuts after he mistakenly thought you were riding to get to know his daughter better under the assumption that merry-go-rounds were better stalking fields than MySpace Dateline stake-outs?!?

It was a portly Paint mare, actually.

No, DC, Orson’s originally a Floridian, and therefore would respect stealers of elections like Hayes. Though you’re probably also right about Ohioans.

" following a weekend of horse riding"

Why horse riding? I thought only three types ride horses anymore

1. The well healed and sporty

2. Little girls

3. Toursits

So I got to assume you were re-rnacting ‘The Great Outdoors’

I dont know whay this is bothering me, but it is.

Ahem. Note to self, read twice before commenting once. My point about Ohioans stands, though.

Tzubear-

What about

4. Men who take their wives away for a romantic post-birthday weekend and reap the rich rewards of pampering their woman with wine, a hot tub for two and a room with a view?

There’s more than one way to end up with a numb chundle region, IYKWIM.
