Are we looking at the first domain name meme? Neigh

There have been widely varying views over the value of introducing thousands of new internet extensions: some feel it is a long-needed reflection of the actual internet; others that it is a money-grabbing scheme with little real value. But one thing that even the domain name industry has agreed on is that some of the new dot- …

3 horses per 100 people? That won't feed many. Who scoffed the rest? The Canadians or the Mexicans?

[James O'Shea]

The Mexicans. With refried beans. Canadians eat moose.

[El Gokri'x]

Meese.

[VeganVegan]

The last time I looked

There was a decent export trade to France, where horse meat apparently is appreciated.

Btw, horse is slang for heroin, so there's your potential Mexican connection.

Tickled the cockles

of my heart to think of Google sploodging on .meme as part of synergising the zeitgeist (or other such marketirrhea), only to find the shits & giggles nomads have set up tent on a different lawn

I want them to create a .ass domain.

Re: .ass

Just what is it about horses that made you think of that?!?

Re: .ass

Too late. .gov covers that, nicely.

Not an UZI

"The website, owned by one Sarah Mendenhall who claims to live in the Clinton's hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas, features an extraordinary pastiche of Hillary and Bill Clinton with Hillary hanging out with a goofy cartoon horse while Bill sprays passers-by with an Uzi and a saxophone strapped on his back."

That's a squared-off pistol of some type, possibly a Glock, not that I care given that there hasn't been a good semiauto pistol designed since John Moses Browning died, with an extremely extended magazine. http://www.surplusstore.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/8e94b9347e01b77eb5544a09ce3e947a/k/w/kwa-glock-extended-magazine2.jpg It's not an UZI. This https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzi is an UZI. (Note ALL CAPS...)

Bill, being an Arkansas goodolboy, would probably use a Genuine American Gun, such as a Colt ACP or, if he had to use something in 9mm, a Browning Hi-Power, even if the Hi-Power is anything but highly powered, being, after all, designed to a French military requirement. More likely he'd use an Ingram gun or a Thompson.

Exit, stage right, to the tune of "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner".

Re: Not an UZI

I think it's supposed to be a Glock 18 (the full auto one, as seen in the Matrix Reloaded). The trigger guard shape looks right.

[Ole Juul]

Re: Not an UZI

To me it looks like an automotive timing light. After all, timing is everything.

[Steven Raith]

Re: Not an UZI

I vote Glock 18 with extended mag. The rear 'chunk' of it that makes it look Uzi like is the slide immediately after firing, while ejecting a shell casing.

Hmm. I think I need to get out more.

What they need...

... is a domain .horseyourodeinon

Then you could direct people to http://www.fuckyouandthe.horseyourodeinon

looking at the picture of Bill & Hilary made me wonder if anyone has reserved the domain monica.sucks

Must be a fair bit of money to be made from that if carefully handled. Do you think hilary.sucks would work as well?

[Mark 85]

Or maybe hillary.would.not.so.monica.sucks

endless.horse.source

That was worth a Ctrl-U, just to learn that the Stupid Sh*t No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon is actually a thing.

Somebody's already bought http://mylovely.horse and there's not a hint of running through the field.

Sadly horse.horse is reserverd

And my registrar tells me many other horse.* domains are too, including:

http://horse.cologne

http://horse.camera

http://horse.attorney

http://horse.accountants

http://horse.exposed - I'm not visiting this one.

http://horse.memorial

http://horse.pizza - have to presume this one is french

http://horse.rehab - this one is reserved by the registry, maybe they know something we don't?

If nothing else, it's good for a list of passwords
