Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for March 04, 2021

The Rain

…………………….

In ‘Horseville’

………………….

Falls mainly to cause pain…

Another day, another explosion at the acupuncture needle factory.

That is the sharpest rain I’ve ever seen.

Well THAT’S a rain runoff, Horace! It’s absolutely NO gentle rain – more a heavy rain, hu? Better use a rainshield next time to prevent rain penetration!

It’s raining pins and needles.

In the Sonora Desert there is a cactus known as jumping Cholla. It has bunches of vey sharp needles that drop off the ends of the cactus “arms”. If you happen to touch them with your shoe when walking, the needle tips curl and latch onto your shoe which causes the bunches of needles to be thrown upwards, often hitting you or the next person in the legs. The needle tips curl wherever they hit and pull themselves into the skin, even through jeans. Very painful and difficult to remove.

When it rains needles, wear a paincoat.

A hard rain’s gonna fall.

Is he a Pinto now?

A Horse named Needles won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes in 1956.

either the rain got real hard or those aren’t raindrops.

What a prickly downpour!

funny

Mix with acid rain for a delicious cocktail.

I see now why Horace hates to be caught in a downpour.

so once again… Horace got himself into a sticky situation…!

seriously, I am so missing the yellow background. I brightened up my morning.

It’s what happens when you walk past a porcupine that’s moulting and coughs

Hate it when it rains quills.

Acu-weather puncture.

Not exactly like water off a horse’s (duck’s) back ~ this water stays on.

Melissa Sue Anderson ( AKA Mary Ingalls Kendall) said hanging a horseshoe over your door brings something like luck or a smile, but when an earthquake comes, the horseshoe over the door could bring a concussion or a deadly non-lemon drop to the head!

Looks like the good folks of Lilliput have discovered archery

A hedgefog?

“Weird weather we’re having, ain’t it?” The Cowardly Lion says after the snow (cocaine) that awakens them in the field of poppies (sleep inducing) out side of the Emerald city.

Boy, that must really hurt.

“…Needles and pins-a…..”

A warning to beware of flying porcupines…
