[Northkeep] was steak, more Tulsa temptations and okie gr amm ar

[Keith Duke]

I stand corrected, O gracious lady, for your knowledge of equine intellect
and behavior so far outstrips mine as the ocean is to a tiny drop of
water... 

That is - the sum total of my very non-encyclopedic knowledge of horses is
"GO faster!!! I bet 5 dollars on you!"
Or "Hmmm... *THAT* doesn't taste like beef - OR chicken!... Must be horse!"


Oh yeah, by the way - "Okie Grammar" is the mother of ones own mother or
father, who was born or currently resides in Oklahoma...

Piotr,

Some horses are more sophisticated than that ;-)  If my horse heard "Hyear 
Now", he would immediately come to a screeching halt, and begin looking for 
dinner :-)  I have accidentally used the above words during a ride, and
speak from 
experience.  In order to go faster on such a beast, one must utter "hup Hup 
HUP", followed by a low rumbling growl.  On occasion, when chasing dogs, one

must use the oft neglected "Git 'Em", which will product a sonic event with
my 
horse!
