Opening dialog is from the man, the next is the horse's; and so on. At the end it is revealed that the man-horse is a centaur, and he's been talking to himself all along. I want you to hit me as hard as you can. Come on, isn't it obvious?Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-39259715955910202962010-07-04T03:09:58.368-05:002010-07-04T03:09:58.368-05:00Centaurs freak me out too, and i'm glad you...Centaurs freak me out too, and i'm glad you've provided an opportunity for me to admit it...<br /><br />AGHHH!Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-30601102298968349902010-07-03T15:45:10.550-05:002010-07-03T15:45:10.550-05:00>I LOVE "The Spanish Steed."
