I was working today and I pointed out to the boss I always have someone to give a 'pinch & punch' to see the new month in. It was just him and me and punching the boss in the arm may not be a good move.
He pointed out his son would be in later. Dutifully 15 minutes later right on time Cameron arrives. Gleefully I give him a 'pinch & punch'. He stood there motionless briefly then rolled his eyes. 'Oh Trudi. That is just so immature'.
What is it with 17 year olds?

Super Saver!!!!!
I cheated, I watched it.
RE: May 1st - Twitchin Kitten - 05-01-2010
Was a good race too! That Calvin Borel is a damn good jockey. Its the way he and the horse understand each other that makes him a great jockey.
OH and did you catch the trailer for the movie - Secretariat? ONE commercial - a tease!
Watch the official trailer. I wish it embedded - sorry.

I did notice how old Calvin was whipping the everloving piss out of that horse in the last hundred yards.

Oh stop. Did you see any welts on the horses hide walking him to the finish line? I didn't.
I ride. My father was a jockey for a time down at Hialeah before he married my mom. He taught me how to ride and he taught me about proper "stick handling" on the final stretch. A good horseman never uses the whip as an instrument of pain but as an extension of his / her arm.
When I rode regularly I always carried a whip or crop, and not once have I raised a welt on the animal. It's a tool like horse shoes and saddles and bits. In fact, the bit in it's mouth is the most cruel piece of equipment.
That horse ran willingly for Calvin.

I know, I know, I've been hit with a riding crop or two in my time, it didn't hurt as much as you'd think.
RE: May 1st - Twitchin Kitten - 05-01-2010
I've a couple of dressage whips down in the basement and an antique crop with a stiletto in it
