I jus' posted Red Garland as a cool jazz name? That could be an awesome race horse name. How about The FOO FIGHTER..or Telescope. Pink Floyd. Rock needs to have some names in the horse arena. I want to name a horse.

As for real horses named after bands, there's Fleetwood Mac, New Seeker, and Zee Zee Top.

And, once, I had a three race accumulator on Fool On The Hill, Yesterday, and Michelle My Belle. None of them won.

(Sidenote: three horses in the same race about six months ago: Columbine, Guns Blazing, and Teenage Hero)

columbine is the state flower

Coldplay....why did I start this?

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Disco Inferno or even the Traamp.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Death Cab for Cutie almost sounds like a horse name.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Cut it to Death Cab and we got it.

You only said Foo Fighter because of Dave's buck teeth. Didn't you!

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks AJA. One more reason.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

What are you thanking me for? (I'm asking)

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

How about Weezer, if the horse is asthmatic.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:13 (twenty-two years ago)

White Stripes but I don't think Zebras are that trainable or necessarily quick.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

What about Queen. Might persuade people to bet on her.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

This beauty should be called White Zombie.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

18 characters? what do ya' mean?

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

18 characters for a horse name, remember that.

Why do you get to say how many characters there are to a horse's name?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

You're only allowed 18 characters when naming a racehorse.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, ok. But why are you the one who said that.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Because I know more about horse racing than anyone else on ILX and as such am fully aware of the set down restrictions that there are on naming racehorses?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn...jus' when I wanna name my horse after a Shakespearean sonnet. Too many characters.

fury in the slaughterhouse. a german band.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but horses don't get slaughtered.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, Aja, you innocent child.

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

What do you mean? Do we slaughter horses? Or is the horses best friend a cow?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

oh no...here we go!

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Here we go what?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is Foo Fighter in all capitals at the top anyway? Must be the favorite.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Aja: Look into how glue is made.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Jello. Turn you horse into amazing shapes with simple to use molds. Oh, and I'm leaving to finish my FOO FIGHTER tribute album all recorded with a rhodes piano and bossa-nova preset rhythms.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Aja: Look into how glue is made.

They use horses hoves, or however you spell it, right.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and I'm leaving to finish my FOO FIGHTER tribute album all recorded with a rhodes piano and bossa-nova preset rhythms.

Oh yeah, what songs are you doing covers of?

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Aja, bad joke. Didn't mean to steer you. I sequence techno stuff. Some heavy bass electro yet ambient stuff. Don't do covers.

― cs appleby (cs appleby), Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Doesn't sound like anything I'd listen to. There was this one time I went to the movies and went in one of the restrooms there. They were playing some weired techno music. It was like torture for my mom and me.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 29 November 2003 23:22 (twenty-two years ago)

― David A. (Davant), Sunday, 30 November 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw Deerhoof. My mom said they were adoreable and rocking at the same time. They have a very short singer.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 30 November 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

This "18 letters or less" thing has bothered me as it means Alf Ramsey's Porn Dungeon could never be a real racehorse name. (Sorry in advance to everyone who didn't get the reference there)

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 1 December 2003 10:21 (twenty-two years ago)

And considering I'm willing to out myself as someone hopelessly and annoyingly addicted to horrible puns, how could I mention Saddle Creek yet completely ignore Thrill Jockey in this context?

(Aja, I haven't heard much Deerhoof.)
