No, It’s not the name of new Nightmare River Band single, but an act of violence i’ve long since dreamed about.
Apparently, a few days ago after attending the 3 day music festival, Lollapalooza in Chicago, a man saw a police horse and tried to pet it. This somehow ended with him punching out said horse. Most likely, he was hopped up on ecstasy after seeing a Jane’s Addiction reunion (for the 3rd time) and woozy from the intense b.o. emitting from the crowd.
I kind of always wondered what that would have felt like to do. Like those turn of the century Irish boxers training for the big bout. I bet Wilbur fantasied about knocking Mr. Ed out cold with his fists after years of his smart alecky quips and eternal nagging.
Wilbur my friend, TCM wants you to know that you’ve been vindicated.

Well if you (or anybody for that matter) enjoys horses punching or being punched then you need to see the first episode of the second season of The Upright Citizens Brigade. They pit man versus horse in a boxing ring. Unfortunately I could not find it on youtube but rest assured it is hilarious.
UCB, excellent reference, excellent show. Kudos my friend.
