On a recent walk in my neighbourhood, just past the House of Fetish, I noticed a bar with a logo suspiciously like the CBC logo. Interesting.

I Won! I Won! I Won...Third.

My horse, Mourilyan, came third. A bit of a surprise. I think I win $6...and third place gloating rights. Not too shabby.

Today is Melbourne Cup day. The Melbourne Cup is Australia's big horse race. Everyone watches it. Workplaces have sweeps. My horse is Mourilyan. He isn't the favourite but I have a good feeling about him. I drew his name out of a hat so I have to make the best of it. Goooooo Mourilyan.
