So this afternoon I drove out to Kildare to watch the 2nd Annual Charity Sheep Steeple Chase Races. It was pretty funny. There were 6 "heats" with names like "The Ewetopia Classic" and "The Rams Ramble." Some of the sheeps' names were "Cheeky Chops", "Go Dolly Go," "Mint Sauce," and (no joke) "Ewe Bitch." There were also booths with merchants from Kildare selling thinks like jewelry and books, and kiddie stuff like those big bouncy things and small rides. I didn't really do any of that stuff, mainly just watched the sheep. As it turns out, you could actually bet on the sheep, and they even had tips. Before one heat, the announcer could be heard saying "We have a tip that number 6 has been sick for a few days and has been on some antibiotics..." All in all, a good laugh.
