**ETF** I once discussed my job here and got some less than favourable replies (re: encouraging Americans to gamble is wrooooong) so I am not comfortable discussing it. But what the hey…

We offer betting on TBs, Harness, Jai Alai, and Greyhounds. There are two websites,one for the lot, and the other just for TBs and GHs, the latter requires manual entry of the names of the animals into the system, so I only see the names of TBs and GHs.

BTW I am not a gambler myself, so I would probably agree that offering a gambling service is hardly the most moral thing to do, but a Job’s a job. And it pays well.

Having said that, I am finding my interest in Horses is increasing gradually.

And since I am in this thread - where’s **Mudshark**

**NoClueBoy** , have you looked into setting up a photo album on [Webshots.com](http://Webshots.com)? I have a bunch of albums there, [cats](http://community.webshots.com/album/782975), [horses](http://community.webshots.com/album/735286), [construction photography](http://community.webshots.com/album/767943) and more.

**Lobsang** , do you ever come into actual contact with horses? They are magnificent creatures.

Next up: **lel** on her prognosticating pony.

Hey, **green\_bladder** – it’s quite all right. Go ahead and have a peek experience.

Coming right up: **Lobsang** , to tell us what time it is in his part of the globe. It’s around quarter of midnight here on the US of A’s East Coast.

Probably, although I don’t really believe in omens. Could be a sign that something may happen in my life soon, though… not sure if it’s good or bad.

I predict: **EddyTeddyFreddy**.

Wake up, **Super Gnat**! You have to come back and make my predicition of you come true – I haven’t been doing too well lately (if ever?) and no one else that I can tell is on line.

And so to bed, grumbling…

**NoClueBoy** , is that you?

Zeldar’s thread that was axed that said something like “What does this thread title make you think of?” – well, it made me think of you. I think.

But since I don’t know what you look like, I’m not sure that was you. Do you have this real open-faced look about you that sometimes makes children whimper and elderly church women shield their faces? And some lazagna in the corner of your mouth?

Here’s a play pretty:

**Zoe** , the women at the elderly church near my place think I’m a righteous dude. Apparantly, I’m a chick magnate. But only for divorcees and my own ex girlfriends!

Imagine the Calvin surprised look. That’s very very close to how I look most of the time. Well, not really. I have legs proportionate to my torso.

Ah, but do you take cream and/or sugar? What’s your stand on flavored coffees? I know people whole loathe and abhor them. Me, I adore hazelnut coffee, and have a decided tendre for Irish cream, vanilla, and Amaretto coffee too.

So – are you, at that thought, howling or wagging your tail, **Angua**?

Wagging my tail my dear. Hazlenut cofffee is yum, vanilla coffee is better, but Bailey’s coffee rules. 🙂

[My views](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152543) on flavoured coffee.  
I do not have a tiger. He’s more like a peculiar companion, in an odd sort of way.

Lunchtime! A roast beef and havarti cheese sandwich on oatnut bread with Ipswich Ale mustard. YUM.

And some leftover Halloween candy for dessert. 😃

Returning: **Angua** , to beg for scraps.

Well, you get an **Angua** , but she’s not happy. In fact, I’ve managed to convince myself that I’m totally unfanciable, and that I’m a sad and blobby physicist. Not really fanciable material at all. ☹
