) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Megaweapon
“Eegah!” and “Thanks to Radar” come to mind. But the one I would go with is “God’s Domain”
Dopple My Fingle.
‘Dull Surprise’
Abrabra Navelnite
Pretty Though You May Be.
No, Lupita.
Pewmayman.
STAY!
Hitler Building.
All of Big McLargehuge’s names.
Johnny Doesn’t Care
Thick McRunFast
A lot of the episode titles themselves would be great names…
Secret Agent Super Dragon
The Sinister Urge
Riding With Death
This Is Where The Fish Lives and Poopie Suit.
TimeForGoToBed Jockey Lobo
GayNiteLife Jockey Winky
Ride The Rocket Jockey Winky
SpiritofMusic Owner Mr. B, Jockey Buzz
Robot Holocaust
Tragic Moments
and the everpopular Dickweed
According to the rules a racehorse’s name must not exceed 18 characters including spaces, which is why you see so many long run-together racehorse names. With that in mind I’d go with WhatDoYouThinkSirs 0r AnyFruittoDeclare.
Deathstalker (I’m pretty sure I named my horse this in a video game or three…)
Space Chief
Terror From The Year 5000
Rowsdower (I’d demand that the name only be spoken in Troy’s femmy voice).
And ROWSDOWER leads the pack as they round the turn passed the beer store on their way to the Hidden Cult City!!
Rowsdower, ladies and gentleman. Think of the stud fees.
Shadowrama and BigMcLargeHuge
Yipe Stripes
Torgo’s Knees, huh? Now Torgo’s Pajamas, I like the sound of that. Keeps ’em guessing.
Did you know that official Jockey Club horse names can only have 18 characters? And that spaces and punctuation count? That’s why a lot of horse names are squished together.
But seriously, CastletonSnob would be mine.
What a fun & different WDT! Let’s see….
Beer on the Sun
ObjectionStupidHat
Bowler-Hatted Man
Last Clear Chance
It Stinks
but leading the pack — Wahrwilf
SidehackingCambot
BootblackingRocks
Oh, and of course:
“Shineyourlove”
PushTheButtonFrank just manages to fit the 18 character limit and sounds like a good one to me. I also like MetalunaMuTant.
A couple more that came to mind:
WatchOutForSnakes
MyMyMyMyMitchell
Croooooooooooooow!
WithAForklift
Gameradammerung
PlayMSTieForMe
WhatDoYouThinkSirs (EDIT oops – just realized this is a second)
Art
Fat Barkeep
Hikeeba
Master Ninja
Sandstorm
Absolutely Fascinating
The Spring Sprite
Itt’s A Calamity
Paper Chase Guy
Thick McRunfast (actually any of the Space Mutiny names work)
A few more;
ILIKEITVERYMUCH! Jockey Micky
Feelin’ Squishy Jockey Judy
WeLikeItVeryMuch
Rex Dart (or Eskimo Spy) (or RexDartEskimoSpy; that’s less than 18 characters)
And from the previously suggested names, I love Beer on the Sun and Megaweapon. All these names have a good sound to them as the announcer yells “And DOWN the stretch they come, Megaweapon on the rail, WeLikeItVeryMuch and RexDart half a length back, Push the Button right behind … and on the outside, HERE COMES BEER ON THE SUN!!”
Today’s line is a real beauty, as Beer Wine lines up on the inside, Bad Touch is in third position, Gill Man is at 4-1, and Droppo is the underdog at 20-1. Sadly, The Monster is a late scratch, as it turns out, there was no monster.
Some of these are apparently too long… oh well.
Waffling Knight
Nimrod From The Future
My Grandmadaughter
New England Journalist
Touch of Satan
This is too much fun!
Mantis In My Pantis
Undersea Kingdom
Cousin Billy
Packers
Wizard Whiz
Hamdinger
Captain Joe.
If Prince of Space were an actual horse name, and in a race he was leading or making a charge on the home stretch, I would love to hear the race announcer’s voice dubbed over by Professor Mackin’s voice, shouting “Prince of Space! Prince of Space is coming!!”
Sampo
Rock Climbing
Trumpy
Johnny Longtorso
Movie Sign!
And even though it is too many characters,
ChiliPeppersBurnMyGut
Coming out of the final turn it’s Moon-Rock Oh-Wow and Brigadoon Hippy and they’re neck and neck. And in the final stretch it’s Moon-Rock-Oh-Wow pulling well ahead. It’s Moon-Rock Oh-Wow, Moon-Rock Oh-Wow… but wait, breaking fast along the rail now it’s Cabbage-Patch Elvis! And Cabbage-Patch Elvis is pulling even with Moon-Rock Oh-Wow! And at the finish, it’s…!
Moms chicken soup
I totally agree with 19 :laugh:
I also like “The Little Creature”
You know, many of us here on the MST3K WDT have handles that work well as horse names. Personally, I like the sound of AlbuquerqueTurkey, and it is 17 characters, too!
Have to go with “Flag on the Moon”, but mainly so that when he comes from behind and crosses the finish line the announcer can say, “Flag on the Moon? How did he get there?!”
The final standings:
1st place: Flag on the Moon
2nd place: Woman’s Purse
3rd place: Hoof Prints in the Wasteland
Look Polish!
And I agree with everyone else — this is a great WDT! :)
I guess “LastOfTheWildHorses” is too obvious.
So, I’d go with “Mitchell”. He is, after all, a real horse’s ass. Of course he’d get winded before the first turn and stop to catch his breath.
Great thread! GypsyRoseMe – EdenPrairieMSTie – ProfessorBobo – DirtyTerry!

Bite Me It’s Fun

Ya Got Me
Almost any of the stingers would make a good horse name!
Yak boy?
How about:
Nuveena
Eat It Movie!
Creepy Girl
Flying Elves Are Back
Deep Hurting
Jan In The Pan
@#7, it is amazing how many of the episode names would make great horse’s names all by themselves. Red Zone Cuba makes more sense as a horse’s name than as a movie name.
