The wife, brother-in-law, and I played a good old fashioned board game thrifted while we were in chicago. Parker Brother’s 1975 masterpiece Gambler. A glorious game of chance that inevitably draws mass screaming in the stereotypical voices of gangsters and auctioneers. But throwing down wads of fake cash on horses simply numbered one through six left something to be desired. So we took it upon ourselves to google and vote on the best horse race names to give to our six steeds. For silliness and what-not I decided to post the winners.
- Gayfields’ Pistol Packin Mama
- Rollingwood’s Famous Cookie Thief
- Frisky Little Man
- Jerry K’s One Night Stand
- Boldest Cheddar
- Dance Hall Doctor
Keep on Gambling!

He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish; no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder.
Bear this in mind, my friends who are fond of railroads and outlines.
