A Pile of Dead Horses

Holy shit. Did you hear about the 21 thoroughbred horses that dropped dead at a Sunday polo match in Wellington, FL? That’s $2.1 million in dead animals; 27,300lbs of rotting carcass piled high in front of their gawking, chagrinned, sophisticated-redneck owners.

It begs the question: What can you do with a pile of dead horses? It’s such a rare thing to find yourself in the position of having. You can’t just let it go to waste. Besides, if I just flushed $2.1 million down the toilet, at the very least I’d expect a refund to be paid back in cheap laughs.

Here’s a quick list of things ANYONE can do with a pile of dead horses. And if you’re the entrepreneur-type, maybe even make a quick buck or two. Think of this as a rainy-day activity book but it’s raining dead horses.

Dead Horse Hunt – Are you Jewish? No? Good, well then this is kind of a take on your precious childhood memories of Easter Egg Hunts. Pansies need not apply

Horse Catapult – Also known as the horse-a-pult. Pretty standard catapult fair, but bonus points go to you if you have the cajones to fire them against a solid brick wall and then just leave the bodies there.


Hotdog Eating Contest – Do I really need to spell this one out for you?
