Who the fuck names horses
No horse in these races can have the same name as any other horse that has ever entered in the history of horseracing. They had appropriate ones at first. Then, slowly, like profiles on the Gaia forums, all the good user IDs URLs horse names got taken. Currently, they’re being named by rich old white guys. If our generation ever starts participating in this, I anticipate solemn-faced announcers on ESPN498 speculating on the Vegas odds for x_FURY-666-WRATH_x.
I look forward to TheRealDrizztDo’Urden69 taking the Triple Crown.
Not necessarily. If you’re creative enough, you can invent a euphoninic name that no one has ever used before. Or, if you aren’t, you can just make a computer do it for you like ilzolende did.
I look forward to Ilzolende taking the Triple Crown.
Can I train you, ilzolende? I want to be the very best, like no one ever was….
For the longest time, Starcraft the horse was what you got if you looked up “starcraft” on Wikipedia.
Not even a disambiguation page! You just went straight to the horse.
It took so many edit wars to get it to the current state where Wikipedia finally accepted that most people typing “starcraft” into Wikipedia are looking for the video game, not the horse.
