Amazing Emails From Amazing Barbaro Fans

071807magnumxl.jpg
I've gotten a lot of great email in my almost two years doing this blog. For a while, though, I never though anything would top this one from one R. McVee.

The lack of participation among readers is a clear indication that your blog is awful. Another thing: your writing is weak. Did you pay a high school kid to write those posts? If so, get your money back.

Think about a career change. Maybe go back to school and study nursing.

I thought for a while this guy was trying to be mean, but then I realized it was probably just his way of attempting to solve the nursing shortage. Still, not the most successful idea ever.

But, yesterday, I received this mail, which might actually be better.

Lets get to it shall we ? A man like yourself with a cock so tiny that he would need a gps to find it can only get off by making fun of what he can't begin to understand. Get some help!

The subject line of this mail from one Capt Serviss? Of course: "Barbaro Article." I must admit, I'm pretty sure Barbaro's penis was bigger than mine is, but I'm comfortable with that.

Update, 12:06 p.m.: A follow-up from the Captain.

I realized that the email I sent yesterday did not include my name..it is Candace Serviss and I am one of those old women who loved Barbaro..are you getting off yet making fun of me?

just go to fucking church where you belong and stop comparing penis size with a dead horse.

I'm confused: why does "GFC" comment about going to "fucking church" on nearly every single post?

You may have to just start a "Barbaro Won't Do" blog separate from this one if this shit continues.

You know, to keep the crazies away from the actual Philadelphia posts.

Prediction: A post from a crazed Barbaro enthusiast will appear in 3 comments or less following this one.

Why not try more iPhone tips and rumors! All the Mac blogs I read are inundated with iPhone news and LOTS of people comment!

I will endeavour to post more often, mostly in a positive light.....

You just don't understand us Barbaro lovers. We've all grown up around horses all our lives and love Barbaro like he's our child or parent or lover. You hurt our feelings when you say such hurtful things about Barbaro. I want to hit you sometimes.

Yay! I win again!

I protest! That was a fake Barbaro posting if I ever read one.

It lacks the requisite condesending attitude of the Barbarites who "get it" while us low-lifes don't.

Clearly SD is trying to pull a fast one on us.

Plus it appears to be writen by a person with better then a third grade education, which is a dead give away for a false Barbarite posting.

Perhaps they have improved their writing ability as a result of monitoring this website for Barbaro posts?

Actually, that's probably not it.

Yeah, I'm guessing that comment was fake, but I don't feel like looking up the IP address to see which regular commenter it was. It wasn't SD's IP address, though.

On the plus side, I got another email from Capt. Serviss, whose name is apparently "Candace Serviss." I'll post it above in a minute.

it’s so weird. one time, i was on a website & i didn’t like what I was reading, so i exited from the site. it’s like, i don’t know, i had a choice in the matter. also, i discovered this thing called a ‘sense of humor’. it’s awesome. keep up the hilarity. p.s.~ have any of you even seen how much this guy loves puppies?! now, please, how you can hate so hard? lunacy.

come on dmac you don't have regular commenters outside of those who lead us on the path of salvation through news anchor bikini photos :'(

Posted by: chrissmari at July 18, 2007 03:03 PM

Candace Serviss -- any relation to John Servis, trainer of Philly's other favorite dog food, Smarty Jones, who like so many Philly sports stars before him, came SO CLOSE to winning his sport's championship?!?!?

Where are those photos of Alycia Lane riding Barbaro while wearing a bikini? I know you have 'em!

Posted by: ALB at July 18, 2007 03:34 PM

I ate Barbaro in my cereal.

Posted by: Capt Crunch at July 18, 2007 03:44 PM

I think that photos of puppies may be the only thing that can bring Barbaro fans and free-thinking adults to the table. The world needs puppies now more than ever.

Hey, speaking of church, there IS a Church Of Barbaro! Isn't that great?? "Some" of you should join us! I'm all about love myself, especially for the noble creatures we can trust more than any human, will do anything to please us, and never talk back, say any bad words, or gossip about us, unlike my own husband and kids!
love love love love ~ love is all ya need...
Don't you just LOVE me?? he he what a joke

peace babies~

You have sex with horses? That's fucking disgusting!

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 12:47 PM

What a hoot you guys are. I was upset initially because I thought you were for real but now I just have the giggles.
For what it's worth - some of us genuinely love horses. Gads !!!

Are any of these comments worthy of newsprint? Such sickness that exists in this country. I know, I know, Freedom of the Press. So I will put my two cents in. I'm a horse owner, and grateful to be one. I'm also a dog and cat owner, and thankful to be one. The magic of animals still amaze me. They are loyal, dedicated, loving, and all they ask in return is that we treat them with love and kindness. I was there that day and watched Barbaro break down in front of me. It was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. But, Barbaro handled it better than the rest of us, because he realized people were trying to help him (and they call them dumb animals). Throughout his ordeal, I learned valuable lessons from him, especially patience and perseverance. Like the great Seabiscuit who inspired a nation when it most needed a hero, Barbaro, too, inspired a nation, when it again needed a hero. Just a horse huh! Ask Dr. Richardson, Michael Matz, The Jacksons, and Edgar Prado about just a horse. A major part of the history of our country was bore on a horse's back. They deserve our respect and admiration. Thanks Barbaro, Seabiscuit, and countless others who gave us thrills in watching them race, and inspiration in watching how they handled tragedy. It is the human animal that is the most disgusting of the species, as there is little devotion, compassion, understanding, loyalty, trust, or respect among the majority of them. Just reading so many of these prior sickening, just plain stupid, comments is testimony to that. Could be there is just a lot of negative IQ. Just a guess. Anyway, carry on with your inane verbiage, as it's doubtful any of this will make the front page of The New York Times; it takes a real journalist to get there.
