Dee Mirich Says Goodbye To Our Editor In Her Own Special Way
She doesn't actually mention him by name, but we know that prolific Internet horse poet Dee Mirich has been touched in a profound way by Will's imminent departure. Just read between the lines of her latest poem and you'll find a stirring tribute to Will, Deadspin, and of course Grade II Peter Pan Stakes winner Casino Drive. But I caution you: Be sure to have a handkerchief close by. And also a sandwich (it's very long). More » -

Prepare Thyself For Impending Debut Of Barbaro's Brother. Oy
Just because you have a famous brother doesn't mean that you will approach the heights of greatness yourself, as anyone who has seen a Daniel Baldwin movie will readily attest. We've previously written about Barbaro's younger brother, of course, but now the horse — named Nicanor — is ready to make his racing debut. And the best part is that nobody has the faintest clue as to if he's any good. Hmm; I feel a poem coming on ... More » -

Dee Mirich Cranks Out The Classic Of All Classics
Many of us have wondered why prolific message board poet Dee Mirich has remained silent on the tragic Eight Belles Kentucky Derby accident. After all, when Barbaro fell, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one of her offerings. But now all is clear: Ms. Mirich had been working feverishly on her magnum opus; a poem that would resonate through the vast reaches of time, perfectlly capturing the mood of a nation. More » -

Culprit Found In Eight Belles Tragedy. It's Hillary, Of Course
Backing the wrong horse is always deadly in politics, especially when it's an actual horse. Poor Hillary Clinton. How can someone get into trouble just betting on the Kentucky Derby? By making a huge deal about placing a bet on a horse that had to be destroyed right on the track, that's how. Now PETA is firing broadsides at her, as she wonders how she's going to carry a state — Indiana — in which Dee Mirich resides. More » -

Let's See Dee Mirich Write A Poem About THIS
I've lived my entire adult life by one simple rule: Never go streaking at the horse races. The comparisons are not flattering, let me tell you. More » -

Get Your Popcorn Ready ...

So, to fill the time and Super Bowl piffle, he put together this special installment of Hercules' misadventures in our little world. He put a lot of time into it, so enjoy, or at least appreciate.It all happens after the jump ...

Time For Another Dee Mirich Poetry Jam
Of course we've all known for some time that Barbaro and God are pals. When the valiant racehorse went to his great reward in early 2007, we were told that God himself was waiting for him in Heaven with with a basket of delicious apples. But we never saw the big picture; it's more than that. Barbaro IS God. This startling revelation comes to us in the latest poem by Barbaro superfan Dee Mirich (you'll be glad to know that she's currently producing some of her finest work ever). Witness: More » -

There's Something About Mirich
I used to think that I knew what Dee Mirich was writing about. I would read her impassioned, fractured poetry on various horse racing message boards, and nod knowingly. "Yes," I would say to myself, "Angels DO prefer hitching their horses to rainbows." But lately, Dee has been listing toward crazy even more than usual ... these days I fear that Miss Daisy is just driving on rims. Anyone in the Merrilville, Ind., area who can stop by and check to see if she's OK? Until then, a team of Navajo codebreakers are working on the message below. More » -

Barbaro Forever (Yep)
This is the the third day after Barbaro's death, which if we're remembering our scripture correctly is the day that He is supposed to return from the dead, emerge from his tomb and speak to the apostles (although it may be difficult moving that heavy round rock with his hooves). We eagerly await any reports from eyewitnesses. In the meantime, rest assured that Barbaro's teachings will live on in the form of his brother. Yes, as Yoda said in The Empire Strikes Back, "There is another." More » -

Duck Day Afternoon
As we learned on Sunday, Barbaro has suffered a rather serious setback. But here's some good news. If Big Boss Horse should, you know, not make it, there is another brave animal fighting for life which could use your prayers. Meet Perky the duck. More »
