"Horsetown USA" is the booming metropolis of Norco, CA. It's about 60 miles dead east of LA, kinda shoehorned in between Corona and Riverside. If you drove from Disneyland to Vegas, you'd drive right past it, all three interstate exits. It's about 8 miles south of where I-10 and I-15 intersect.

Our claim to fame, if you will, is 26,700 people and 18,000 horses, plus an assortment of llamas, alpacas, emu, sheep, goats, a locally famous camel, and a Begle.

As for the documentary.....maybe I'll apply for a grant to study the "Inland Empire Pony-tailed Pool Boy". They're not listed in the Endangered Species Act, but I hear they're rarely photographed in their natural environment

 

You guys are taking this waaaaaayyyyyy too far!!!

Surely there is something better to occupy your time out there??

Ask BigBlue......I've been here 3 1/2 years and I only have a measly 1224 posts....

 

I had a stalker once...but i knew who she was..she just wouldn't leave me alone...she was kinda cute, but im not into the whole pot smoking thing ......she finally found someone that would actually go on a date with her and now her and I are actually really good friends! its weird how things work out...

Don't end up on the online predators show on NBC Iker!

 

I think the only this he needs now is a clinical diagnosis on his condition to go along with his 10K posts!!

Besides, I don't think there really IS anything else to do in Texas?? Except Sweat

"They're not listed in the Endangered Species Act, but I hear they're rarely photographed in their natural environment "

Theres a reason for that.

 

They attack unprovoked? Nobody knows the Begle's natural environment?

 

I'm rather confused myself...

 

The cameras keep breaking?

 

From "Microsoft Encarta"

"The Begle is typically found in hot, dry areas devoid of street lights and sidewalks. It is difficult to spot because it usually takes cover behind houses with cement ponds. The few times it has been observed it was standing at the edge of the cement pond, in the heat of the day, fishing around with some sort of net attached to a long pole. Some scientists believe that this is how it catches its' prey.

It seldom spends much time in one place, which is why it's so hard to spot. It quickly accomplishes its' task and migrates to another house with a cement pond. Those who have actually seen the Begle say that it migrates in a red 1990 Dodge with a ladder rack, and that its' mating call sounds like that of the Wolo Wobbler......."

 

 

I can't add much to Cowhand's insightful Encarta reference, but you might want to want out cuz of what I found:

Meaning of the name Begle- Possibly a reduced form of German Begele, a nickname from a derivative of Middle High German bāgen ‘to scold’

 

Wow, that's a stretch... I guess it's better than being named after the dude who mapped a theorem...

I'd be interested in reading the section on "reproduction"...

 

I didn't need to read it. I guess you'd call it "on the job training".

Begle, you're being an awfully good sport

 

As we type, begles typing up a hit list...thats why hes such a "good sport"
