Who wants to help me settle a bet? I've got two questions if you do.

One - do you have an expression where you're from that goes "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"?

And two - what the hell do horseshoes and hand grenades have to do with each other anyway?

private to seifer and nida.

So we never went camping, back in the village.

[that's. pathetic, but it's the best he can do for offering an olive branch to his brothers.]

You'd think they'd wear snow boots, bein' that far north.

[now he's probably just teasing. probably.]

Oh please, if it's deep snow it's definitely snow shoes.

[Alex is, even though Vancouver only really snows in the mountains.]

[scathefires]

Here's the real question - how does a horse manage snow shoes without tripping all over its own feet?

[11calls]

Extremely carefully and a lot of training.

Obviously.

[scathefires]

Well, yeah, obviously. But can you imagine having that job, training a horse how to walk in snow shoes? I can't decide if that's a great job or a terrible one.

[11calls]

Both probably. Depending on the day.

[scathefires]

If it's a thaw day? I'm bettin' on it being a terrible job.

[11calls]

Oh yeah. I mean it’s probably just dangerous then too. For both the horses and you. I know someone who got his foot stepped on by a horse before. He swore that it was never the same.

[scathefires]

[lbr nic pretty much deserves that.]

Guess the moral of the story here is to just stay away from horses, huh?

[11calls]

[And so much more.]

Guess so. Unless you're like a cowboy or something.

[scathefires]

I am definitely not a cowboy. Not even close.
