Hey NiwRoC! Congrats on the new cub and promotion. Not been here for a while and had some time to stop in. Good to see you here.
Congrats Frenchy on another posting milestone. Though not too surprising. ;)
Been a little busy at work. But, all with good things. Wedding plans going well. Most of the big things are done. Just a few little things to take care of. We are pretty early since it is not until the end of June. We're pretty excited. As are the parents.
hey, i am laying here wondering something strange for no apparent reason(well, i was just reading something, somewhere on the site) and wanted to know...
where did this statement come from...
'straight from the horses arse'?
any takers? where is the vault of info for queries such as this?
:) thanks!

Maybe it's a variation of the expression "from the horse's MOUTH"?
Quote:
Meaning
From the highest authority.
Origin
In horse racing circles tips on which horse is a likely winner circulate amongst punters. The most trusted authorities are considered to be those in closest touch with the recent form of the horse, i.e. stable lads, trainers etc. The notional 'from the horse's mouth' is supposed to indicate one step better than even that inner circle.

AnnaMaria, there used to be an Internet list called Stumpers. It was primarily a place for reference librarians to post questions for which they were, well.... "Stumped!" It was one of the best places to find information such as this by searching their archives. Unfortunately, the institution that hosted the list recently dropped it. The list is regrouping under the auspices of Project Gutenberg, but the archives are not available until they migrate to the new server and go through a lot of editing. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a definitive (or almost definitive!) answer on those archives. I also suspect Inertial is on to something with his suggestion. :approve:
I Love you guys!
and,...you're right, it's 'horse's mouth' but someone can be called a horse's arse!
thank you chivalrous gentlemen for always being so kind and dependable!
Cool to know that Project Gutenberg will soon be available !
kisses/hugs all around :)

Good to see you bobby!...although I have to disagree with you about "there is always next year" with respect to the Cowboys. Next year belongs to the Packers
Okay, I'm a week late on this, cause I haven't had much time to read boards lately, but uh...
Look, I'm a Packer fan and all, but I simply can -not- believe in this latest regime. They hired the Offensive Coordinator of SAN FRANCISCO! AUGH! I want very badly for them to win it all next year, but c'mon, realistically? It just ain't happening.

LOL! Didn't you see the little crazy smilie? That wasn't directed at bobby. It was directed at my comments about the Packers :)

LOL. About a week or so ago you said something about next year being the Cowboys' year and then I said you were wrong, that it would be the Packers winning it next year...followed by the crazy smilie. What I said about the Packers was just plain nuts!
