Best Named Horse Voting Poll - parents -- Part 1

Post by Jeb Clampett »

Great entries, everyone, competition is tough! Good luck to all.
GP prizes will be awarded to the top three vote getters. In the absence of ties, there will be awards of 3GP's 2GP's and 1GP, respectively. The top two entries (or so, again depending on ties) will go on to a compete in a final contest for all categories.

For easy reference, I've cut and pasted the original comments below, but lost most of the embedded links (sorry). Everyone is very welcome to post here giving links, cheering an entry or just kibitzing.

*******

Meet Adamantium she's sired by Wolverine.

From Wiki - Adamantium is a fictional metal alloy in the Marvel Comics Universe. It appears most notably as the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and bone claws.

-------

Melted Chocolate is my entry. Her sire is So Hot Im Shocking and her dam is Toblerone (which is a type of chocolate, for any who don't know). I made the vast intuitive leap (:P) of thinking what happens to chocolate when you make it hot and wella!

-------

Outatime - Auto Brake x De Lorean(A Bus)

Outatime is the license plate on the Delorean in Back to the Future

-------

Saber Clue - Weapon x Straightwithatwist

-------

I'll try Dreamsfadetoblack by Goodguywearsblack out of Domydreamscometrue

-------

Streakin Thru Town, by So Hot Im Shocking out of Streakin Pretty

-------

Angles Gother out of Angels Gather.

This is pretty much the stupidest pun I have ever come up with and every time I see the name I delight in how incredibly retarded it is. The Angles and the Goths were Germanic tribes in old Europe. The Angles (among others) settled England, thus the name of the country, and the Goths (among others) sacked Rome.

Ehehehehe Angles Gother

-------

Poisson (Anemone - Bad Times)
Poisson is French for fish, and it looks like the word "poison" and poison is bad.

-------

I'll enter this one! Piston x Empty Pockets (http://www.simhorseracing.com/horse.php?HorseID=129467&)

-------
I've sent of the GP's to the winners, with the winnings from all categories added together. In some cases, I've had to send out multiple transfers. In all cases, although they may say "silks, or Simperior, or create a horse, that's just the way they transfer; these are just GP's to spend as you want.
PM me if you didn't receive the correct GP's.

Hurray! Thanks for everyone who voted for my stupidly named horse, and thanks to Jeb for running these contests!
You're not getting a dead button...in fits of rage, John Slotman and Ara Davies and Jolene Danner would literally kill half their barns.
