[QUOTE=elucidator] A.E. Houseman, unless I’m very much mistaken. _Shropshire Lad_? Quite the nifty little rhymester, but queer as a blue horse.

[QUOTE=Talon Karrde] My WAG is that it comes from the King James Bible, and maybe they used that because people in England at that time understood the concept of a lord as someone you serve. [/QUOTE] It would have been easy enough to look it up rather than guessing. > [@Matthew 6:9-13](#): > > [taken from [Wikipedia’s page on the Lord’s Prayer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord%27s_Prayer)] > > After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (The corresponding passage in Luke is almost identical.) So the King James Version has “Father” as well. Don’t you think changing “father” to “lord” would be a pretty big translation error? WhyNot has already said that she was just having a brain fart, so there’s really nothing to offer up guesses about anyway. ---

Outside of rustlers changing a gray to a bay, and the carriage horses in the Wizard of Oz, not likely. If you want flashy in a horse, though, you can get it naturally.

[QUOTE=EddyTeddyFreddy] :dubious: But is he hotter than the fire of a thousand suns? [/QUOTE] Fire of a thousand suns? You’re the only thing hotter. [we need a drooly smiley] **Aeschines** , you need a different board than the ones you’re practicing this shit on. Well, not necessarily this subject matter, all of your subject matter. You’re like the Bizzaro-SF tool. May I humbly suggest boards that deal with self-targeting, self-immolation, self-asphyxiation? Not wishing or hoping anything, but you may finally find something positive for the human race. At least, we might. ---
