Banks and James discuss.... Spandex for horses.

Mr. Ed goes Gimp.....

Suggested by Gregory Brennan from Liverpool, Danny Banks and Roo James discuss this subject over Live Messenger....

Danny:

Right well I think it's a good idea because basically they only have the leather look at the moment with Saddles.

Roo:

I can't personally see a market for spandex on horses but if Dragons den approves it, I reckon Sarah Jessica Parker is good to front the campaign.

Danny:

They've been rocking the saddles and horseshoes look for hundreds of years now.   I say we go with spandex and rubber soles, bring them bang on trend... and when no-one is looking they can pretend to be superheroes... not sure whether they should have capes though....

Roo:

I thought they had the bondage look..... What with the stirrups, whips, and short men riding them hard?

Danny:

I think you are reading a very different copy of horse and hound

Roo:

So you like this idea but not my idea for a toaster that burns "fuck you" into bread?

Danny:

But this is for the poor horses! They can't argue back and they don't eat toast.

Plus Spandex can be used to hide the veiny bits in horses legs which are a bit ewwwwwww.

Roo:

IT'S NEVER ABOUT TOAST WITH YOU! *Sulk*

Danny:

And in all these years of Marvel comics can you name a superhero horse?

Roo:

Dave?

Danny:

Equality for Super Horses!

(except Dave... he was more a super villain with his sinister clopping)

Roo:

How are 12 year old middle class girls going to cope with Super horses flying them about everywhere?

Danny:

Anchors and tethers..... Or really heavy saddles.

Roo:

You've been doing those drawings again haven't you?

Danny:

But at the end day if there are a few accidents, who would miss a few 12 year old middle class types?

Roo:

M&S?

Danny:

Oooooo, it could be a new CBBC show, "Can you ride a flying horse?"....

Roo:

Dave Benson Phillips could present!

Danny:

With the obligatory puppet.  Clompy.  If you stay on you come back for another series, if not then society wins.

Roo:

It will be fine until Dave comes on before the show to announce Clompy went to the glue factory for a day out.....

Danny:

Or he turns up as a tin of dog food....

Roo:

All from one bit of spandex.....

Danny:

I'm going to write to the Head of CBBC who must be that Justin fella... I've already tried writing to Sarah Jane, and I've laminated the cease and desist order.

Roo:

So to wrap up, Spandex on horses = Traumatised children and a writing gig for you.

Danny:

Every one's a winner....... except the children........but I'm a winner and that's what counts at the end of the day...
