I Wish They’d Just Kill Barbaro
July 11th, 2006

Recent news reports have Barbaro “responding well in his sixth cast.” His sixth cast? That seems a little excessive. I mean, I’d have my only child put to sleep if he or she required six casts for the same injury. This is getting absurd. I wish they’d just put a bullet in him and be done with it.

I’m not sure if I can take it if the thing lives for five more years, and we’re still getting constant updates on his health. It’s just that time… there’s talk of “potentially serious” complications, the vet says it’s in for some rough times ahead, it’s had surgery after surgery, it’s got an abscess on his left hind hoof, and… well, I think it’s annoying as fuck.

I realize that that’s not a very good reason to kill a horse, but hey, it’s horse racing. They’ve killed for less. I wish Jayson Williams would hire Barbaro to give him a ride home, or that Barbaro had an affair with OJ Simpson’s current love interest, or someone hired Isiah Thomas to oversee Barbaro’s recovery.

    Is it possible that if this damn horse finally dies it will be breaking news on ESPN? And if so, should it be breaking news if Little Morgan, (that black lab that has won the deck jumping championships at the Geat Outdoor Games) dies too?

    greatest piece of Photoshop work i’ve seen in a while!

    He’s going to be some expensive dogfood.




  4. Adam Says:

    That is nasty haha. I hope Barbaro is not in too much pain and I hope he can live.

    while i don’t want to hear about the future glue-product and its travails, i do understand the owners wanting to save it because its stallion juice is worth millions.

    Y’all are just jealous of his huge wang.

    Hey now…
    barabaro doesn’t have to be glue if he can just get some nice horsey ‘roids; smell the fillies in between naps, what the hell.

    If his owners wanna spring for a test horse case with this injury for the long-term-test-of-recovery;
    really!…who are we…the tabloid-buying public…to stop them?

    (if we did, I’m sure naked pics of brittany would stop selling.)

    So they want his future geldings.Its their benjamins.$$

    Amen to the author of this blog. Seriously, will the horse die already. I am tired of constant updates all over the web about some damn horse with the name Barbaro. It’s confusing as hell because I keep thinking of Captain Barbossa from Pirates of the Carribean. Enough of these mind games!
