    So I’m convinced this is a pimp advertising his services for birthday parties

    Mine hores rids? Awesome- I have been LOOKING for a service that will rid me of my pesky mine hore infestation. They’re just swarming ALL OVER the coal mine in my backyard, humping things and looking slutty, and it is becoming a problem with the neighbors.

    Granted, my kids love it…but I am beginning to wonder if it is good for them to be playing with mine hores all day. Concerned about their moral fiber, etc and so forth.

      “Mine hore” sounds like it should be a critter from Halflife 2.

        “Mine hore” makes me think of an amateur-dramatics production of “Cabaret,” with the song that goes “Farewell Mien Lieber Herr” only it’s done by some lady in the midwest who can’t get the accent and doesn’t know what herr even means.
        This, plus pony rides, is giving me weird mental images.

    I have heard of french maid, nurse, and schoolgirl fantasies. But miner is new to me. What exactly do mine hores wear? Just one of those hats with a light on them while you ride them? Do they shout out “going down!” as they turn on their little light and .get busy on the …um…mine shaft?

    I don’t think it was the horse doing the typing. Judging from the way he signs off, I think Daryl is a pullet, or perhaps a very young rooster with a typewriter.

    for once, something that sounds like a good deal.

    This guy will rid your mine of hores for only a dollar. Now I ask you, where else are you going to get an offer like that in the current financial climate?

    Don’t forget that Daryl will also get rid of your ponys! Very handy for when your mine is infested with both ponys AND hores. Not that it happens often.

      If you’ve got mine ponys, I’ll do a rid for you, but it’s going to cost more—at least $1.50—because mine ponys are pretty complicated creatures.

          I had just noticed that. I am disconcerted by the notion of an outdoor, horse-powered bidet. But I suppose the old ways are the best ways. Maybe Daryl (or Darly?) is Amish.

    “Mine hores rid sevice kids” – I parsed that as “My whores will rid you of young people who provide services.” Got neighbourhood kids pestering you to pay them for driveway shovelling or lawn mowing? Our terrifying, aging, toothless prostitutes will chase them away for good!

    Seriously, though, what is this person trying to say? I get the horseback ride part, I’m just having trouble with the “mine”. “MINI-horse”, maybe?

      That’s what I thought, too. It’s the only thing that makes sense. I’m very worried about these people being responsible for animals that they can’t even spell.

    Many years ago, my folks lived in a small town that had a poorly edited weekly newspaper. One day, mum was reading dad his horoscope which said “You have a tendency to change hores in mid-stream.” That provided much entertainment to us all for the rest of dad’s life.

    I am more than a little concerned that the mine hore carts appear to be under the control of the rid kids w/o Daryl or Larry (his blond assistant). Granted, Larry is giving charade-style instructions on how to perform the “Little Goat Herd” from “The Sound of Music” but will that stop a runaway mine hore cart?

    Safety first, people, that’s all I’m sayin’.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that this was perhaps written by a Mennonite or someone similar who wanted to offer their homegrown services but has had virtually no experience operating a computer.

    My sister’s car got hit by one of these things. Then again, she commutes to work through Amish country.

    Tip: don’t expect Amish people to have insurance.

    Actually, I think they were Mennonites. But I don’t think either of ’em will be reading this, so eff’em.

    The future Mr. Fish (and no, not Abe Vigoda) and I stayed at a resort last year that had a bidet, and we can both agree that this plumbing feature will be included in our piscine home. It certainly beats pony rides and mine hores.

    A pony already is a mini-horse, so what other kind of “mine” horses could he be referring to?

    Also, maybe instead of service, he meant to type seviche?:

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/seviche
    Definition of SEVICHE
    : a dish of raw fish marinated in lime or lemon juice often with oil, onions, peppers, and seasonings and served especially as an appetizer

    … nope, scratch that. A free meal with your $1 “rid” sounds good, but the kids wouldn’t “love it” until they learn to appreciate sushi first. XD
