User:Dead Horsey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My Name[edit]

When my children were younger, we used to play a game called "dead horsey." It starts out like a regular horsey ride, with me on my hands and knees, and a child (or two) on my back. Horsey "walks" around the living room and other parts of the house with the kids yelling "giddy up, horsey!" all the way.

Eventually, I would collapse with the kids still riding, flat onto the floor. The kids would again yell "giddy up, horsey!" and I would respond, "no, horsey's dead." Peals of laughter ensued. I guess it's funnier to a 3-year old.

Anyway, thus was born the game of "dead horsey," and with it, the inspiration for my user name.

Busy[edit]

The semester just started, and that, coupled with my job, means I have very little time to offer Wikipedia on a consistent basis. I will be here as time permits, usually on Recent Changes Patrol to help roll back vandalism, link-spamming, and other unhelpful edits.

A year later, time is still very precious, but I have a little more to offer. I'm going to look into 6502 Assembly, Forth, and AWK on Wikibooks, as time allows.
