HorseRacing Cheese Shop

[Dave Schwartz]

I happen to run across this link:

https://www.ntra.com/ntrau_index.aspx

It is NTRA's virtual Q & A. First, it looks and sounds very cool... a woman says "Please feel free to ask me absolutely anything about thoroughbred racing."

So, I did. "What are speed ratings?"
"Sorry, I am not following you."

Another question. "WHat are class ratings."
"Sorry, I didn't get that."

More questions: "Sorry, but I don't understand."


Just when I was sure this was a take off on Monte Python's Cheese Shop ... ("We have anything, just ask." ... "Sorry, out of that today.")

...I asked, "What is an entry?" and "She gave a detailed answer!"


This may have a tremendous future but right now I think it is laughable. Give it a look.

OUSEBENDER:
Camembert, perhaps?
WENSLEYDALE:
Ah! We have Camembert, yes sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
You do! Excellent.
WENSLEYDALE:
Yes, sir. It's, ah ..... it's a bit runny.
MOUSEBENDER:
Oh, I like it runny.
WENSLEYDALE:
Well, it's very runny, actually, sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
No matter. Fetch hither le fromage de la Belle France! M-mmm!
WENSLEYDALE:
I think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
I don't care how f*****g runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.
WENSLEYDALE:
Oh .....
MOUSEBENDER:
What now?
WENSLEYDALE:
The cat's eaten it.

Time for Wallace and Gromit!

Just when I was sure this was a take off on Monte Python's Cheese Shop ... ("We have anything, just ask." ... "Sorry, out of that today.")It reminded me of the argument sketch -

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!
(pause)
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
(pause)
M: It's just contradiction!
O: No it isn't!
M: It IS!
O: It is NOT!
M: You just contradicted me!
O: No I didn't!
M: You DID!
O: No no no!
M: You did just then!
O: Nonsense!
M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

:D

No answer to:
Where is Oaklawn Park?
Where is the Travers Stakes run?
What is the backside?

And then "What is the backstretch"?
I DID get an answer.

Reminds me a bit too much of some recent dates. Especially the "harry eyeball" look. I did ask a somewhat risqué question and got "I'm not doing that" response. Like I said just like some recent dates.
