I have a soft spot for miniature horses, especially if they are trained to bite kneecaps.

Maybe you should drink a lot less coffee, and never ever watch the ten o'clock news.

Oh yeah, Put dirtballs in your pocket and take off both your shoes.

Jesus Christ! This is a story designed to pull on the heartstrings! A little boy with cancer. A cute little pony. And murdering, bloodthirsty dogs.

Call me an asshole, but miniature ponys are fucking gay. Good for the pitbull! To bad for the cancer kid though...

Pit bulls can climb fences. the neighbor's pit used to climb a six foot board fence into our yard all the time. I'd yell at it to git, and it would scramble back up and over the fence.

Mike in MO, you are an asshole. Miniature horses are sweet, darling, creatures that can bring happiness into the hearts of everyone that has a heart. I pray mini horse ninjas don't rape your asshole and kill your wife.

You know when you're taking a dump at a public toilet, and after that first turd drops there's a splashback that sprays your ass cheeks and causes you to shudder with disgust? What's the name for that? I think that needs a name.

It's called "splashback". Nuff said.
As for the dogs, I can see the quote now "But, they never bit anything beloved by Cancer Boy before." What's next? Pitt Bulls voting republican?

Is it just me or do Pit Bull owners all look like white trash assholes with mullets?

pit bull owners all look like poor people. I've never seen a person with a median income above 50k actually have a pit bull.

i'm going to have to side with the pitbull on this one. the horse and the cancer kid had it coming.

My mother has two miniatures. One is ok, the other is a BITCH! She was taking them jogging.

Something of comparable size and functionality ... a goat. They are actually decent packing animals for those that like long hikes but have bad knees. Can handle varied terrain, and can eat on the go.

The miniature horses ... are like for people who want real my little ponies ... eh ....

What's a 3-year-old doing with a miniature horse anyway? I do, however, wish every pit bull and pit bull mutt on the planet to simultaneously explode. And do you notice that every pit bull on a leash has a white trash owner on the other end of the leash or some other miscreant who should not be caring for an animal?

Comment by Mr. Poe

Mr. Poe — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 09:56:39 -0800

Miniature Pony's are fucking gay. And what difference does it make whether the boy has cancer or not? I'm with the Pit Bulls on this one.

If he doesn't want cancer, maybe he should get rid of it and stuff.

Kill the Pitt Bulls, Kill Mike in Mo, shut Mr. Poe up and then kill him. He would never die because he never shuts up...

OR Matt essentially hates them because of mother issues. it all makes sense.

and mr. poe, if anderson cooper said that miniature ponies were great you'd change your tune real quick.

also, really, what purpose does a miniature pony have? what purpose does any domesticated pet have?

this almost ruined my day - but THANKS Lloyd Clydesdale @ 20 - you saved it! Thanks for the cutest pic!

So WHAT if miniature horses are for people who want want real My Little Ponies? What are those little f@$#ing rat dogs for that people like to carry around or drag on leashes be cause their legs are too short and spindly to walk? Get over yourselves haters. Long live the tiny horses!

Mr. Poe — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:34:07 -0800

@22

Miniature ponies were created in the 1970's by Hugo Clamabooshka. Legend says that he made them by shrinking horses, but most people (like me) know that's not true. The truth is far more disturbing, and way less interesting.

You know you've made it when you get death calls in The Slog comments!

Also, when Mr. Poe says something is gay, you know it is really fucking gay.

Looking forward to my moron of the year pony certificate.

Mr. Poe — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:52:44 -0800

I'd like mine in a black frame, please. And good luck every shutting me up. I can still hold a conversation even with seven cocks in my mouth. Eight is where the line is drawn, but seven is sufficient, but there you go. That'll shut me up.

Then you can kill me.

@11

All owners of *killer* pitbulls look like white trash retards, not all owners in general. The normal one's don't make the news.

Wonder why that is...?

the same purpose as buttsecks -- an enjoyable pastime without any real impact.

Remember in Steinbeck's "The Red Pony" where the little boy was eaten by a scorpion. Coincidence - I think not. Or was that "The Pearl" - memory does not serve - but no pit bulls or carcinogenic children were harmed in either.

Mr. Poe and Mike it really was just me being silly. I promise not to kill either one of you.
Mr Poe all your dumb comments usually make me laugh!
I LOVE PONIES AND FEEL SAD FOR KIDS WITH CANCER.... BIG MEANIES! : )

Lloyd Clydesdale — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 13:18:47 -0800

I wonder if The Dog Whisperer would treat a miniature pony at his dog psychology center? Fucking love that show.

I once saw a flock of, eh, 60 starlings flying across the street down in pioneer square and there was one pigeon in the middle of the flock, kind of freaking out, but also flying along as part of the flock.

Apply that to the miniature pony and cesar millan's dog psychology center, and I'm in for TWO bottles of wine for that episode. One for the laughing, one for the crying.

Mother issues? That's sweet. I gave one of the ponies some credit. But they are so lame and useless. They aren't even cute. You have to constantly watch their diet because they get fat easily. You can't ride or exercies them as well.

I was always a bigger fan of horse pulls anyways. Those are cool!

"one day, someone will threaten to kill me in the comments.

if by kill you, you mean sex you up, while playing scrabble in anime drag, listening to organ grinder renditions of Judas Priest songs, consider your yourself threatened.

how about it?
