Well, in order to keep their Heavenly nights exciting, the gang came up with a new game....."Name all 50 Earthly States in Twenty Minutes and Win a Prize". Um, needless to say, Slew still, to this day, thinks that there are absolutely, 100%, at least 56 states. No "ifs", "ands" or "buts"....and the first state on his list was the state of Cinncinnati! Huh??? Too many episodes of WKRP in Cinncinnati maybe??? Second on his list, was the state of "Louisville".....even though, he ran his Kentucky Derby in Louisville, KENTUCKY!!! Hmm, when was the last time the state's name went before the city's name??!! So, it's "game on" between Barbaro and Slew!! Barbaro made up Heavenly cue cards and laid them all out in front of him and he still only ended up with 43 states!! Northern Dancer told Barbaro that he had an Earthly globe he could look at if he really needed too, and Slew had no problems with that because he said that the globe didn't have the U.S. on it anyways!! Whhhaaatttttt???? Ten minutes left and Slew's list now has 62 states on it....let's take a peek...."Eyellinois" and "Eyedaho".....Oh, wait a minute, we think he means "Illinois" and "Idaho"...he mispronounced the words.....GEESH!! Ok, again, he's got North Dakota, South Dakota, as well as East Dakota and West Dakota......ZOINKS!!! New Mexico and Old Mexico, Virginia, West Virginia, East Virginia, South Virginia, and North Virginia, and of course, the state of Las Vegas and it is at this point that we will promptly use their phrase...."What happens at Heaven's Gate, stays at Heaven's Gate"! Well, with a slight grammatical modification of course!! Boy, Slew's list is certainly larger than 50 states.....we're thinking his list could top 150 states, er ah, cities/states!! Barbaro is now up to 49 states and after peeking at his list....we know he's only missing the state of Maine!! Shhhh, we won't say anything, but we think Barbaro is going to win!! At this juncture, Northern Dancer looked over Slew's list and couldn't believe his Heavenly eyes.....Slew is up to 163 states, with two minutes to go!! Northern Dancer spoke up, "Um Slew, the game is called 'Name all 50 Earthly States in Twenty Minutes and Win a Prize'....I think you're missing the main idea here!!" It was at this point that Barbaro jumped up and yelled, "MAINE"....."That's it....that's the 50th state.....I WIN!!!" Needless to say, a "happy dance" ensued and Northern Dancer handed Barbaro his prize.......A GLOBE.....and yes, this one DOES have the United States on it........We still don't know where Slew seen a globe that DIDN'T include the U.S.......

And Awwaaaayyy We Go...!!!
Another fantastic night last night in Heaven for Barbaro and all his equine friends.
Well, we are now in transition mode from the original Equine Heaven webpage, to the new and improved Equine Heaven blog!! Sirrus the Heavenly gopher has pointed out that this new blog allows us to "archive" each post, so that all you down below can view the "happenings" from the previous day!! You can also comment on this blog and become part of the Heaven's Gate Farm family!! AWESOME SIRRUS!!! THANKS!! However, we all know that things never go as planned and that goes for our dear Sirrus too. He forgot to mention that he nearly "blew up" the old Equine Heaven website whilst trying to reconfigure things...ahem, seems that his "doings" involved a screw driver (no, not the drink....but there were "computer parts" strewn all over the Heavenly floor!), a couple of Heavenly blue and red wires (Huh? Why were there wires involved??), and a hammer...(really?? A hammer?? What the heck does one need a hammer for when working with a C.P.U..??)....well, thanks for telling us Sirrus!! Not too much damage done though, as the Equine Heaven web page is still in tact and still functioning!! PHEW!! So, on to bigger and better things, and what could be bigger and better than our beloved Seattle Slew organizing a Heavenly scavenger hunt...and let me tell you, after looking over Slew's list of things to find....well, this could be one of the fastest scavenger hunts on record!! The Heavenly Scavengers (the actual birds), are extremely excited about this...how ironic huh? Ok, so let's look at his list:
1) One light brown stick
2) A pine cone
3) A stone (doesn't matter what size, color, or shape)
4) A blade of grass
5) An acorn
6) A crayon (doesn't matter what color)
7) A cup of flour
8) Marshmallows (He would like at least 5 or 6 from each participant)
9) A graham cracker crust
10) Cherry cheese cake filling
11) Whipped Cream
Um, hmmm, let's evaluate this "list" shall we?? This "hunt" just reeks of suspicion. First off, what are the odds of finding a stick, a pine cone, a stone, a blade of grass and an acorn, in record time????? I myself could probably find these items in less time than it took Slew to win the Earthly Kentucky Derby!!! (Which was impressive by the way!) So, what is the real purpose of this so-called scavenger hunt?? As we read further down the list, it seems that Slew's mind begins to wander.......Wander wayyyy out into left field....and we all know what "left field" is in Slew's mind......FOOD!!! It looks like Slew would like his scavenger hunt participants to basically go grocery shopping for him!! Honestly, who puts marshmallows, a graham cracker crust, cherry cheese cake filling and whipped cream on their scavenger hunt list??? Regret and Ruffian are standing beside me and are laughing their Heavenly tails off while reading this.....they know what's going on....and Slew, all the while, is looking up at the ceiling whistling while the Heavenly participants are wide-eyed looking the list over!! Ok, just for fun, let's interview a couple of the participants shall we? Hey, Northern Dancer, what do you make of this scavenger hunt list? [Northern Dancer is Laughing] "Is he serious, really? I mean, I'm completely confused, I'm still trying to figure out how a crayon fits into all this?" Ya, us too! We next asked the great John Henry the same question. [He's laughing as well] "Um, gee, I've never seen something so odd....and to not include a chocolate dip doughnut on the list makes it even more odd! Like, I can see where's he's coming from asking for the 'food' stuff, but how do the first six connect with the rest of the list? Will he be baking a 'stone-stick-acorn-pinecone-grass-crayon cheese cake'??" Barbaro and Gallant Secret are rolling on the floor laughing, but they know the way Slew works and they are excited to get finding the things on the list!! But, in all fairness, we asked Barbaro his thoughts......[He's laughing so hard that he's practically hyperventilating] "It's Slew [laughing]...what did you think was going to be on the list?? But I'll tell ya, we might think Slew is a little 'off' in his thinking sometimes, personally, I don't, but you put this guy on the Heavenly racetrack and he'll blow your socks off! I can see why he was the Earthly undefeated Triple Crown Winner!!" Well, there are many participants gearing up to do Slew's scavenger hunt, and if we're correct in thinking that Slew will be baking later on this evening, you can bet your bottom dollar that there WILL be a Heavenly party tomorrow night in the Pottery Barn!! Fun for the whole family I guess!! Just fast, quick fun for the whole family.....like 2:02 1/5 type of fast fun!
