The other day at work, a legitimate work-related Google search brought me to this list of the 1941 World Champions of the National Celebration in Shelbyville, TN. Horses, that is. Just look at how great the names of these 1941 champions are. Strolling Jim. The G-Man. Country Charlie. Plus a whole host of "Wilson Allen" names (I wonder if he was the owner, or the horse-daddy...): Wilson Allen's Boss Man, Wilson Allen's Lady, Wilson Allen's Gay Girl, Wilson Allen Jr., Hill's Wilson Allen. If you jump over to the 1942 list, you even have Wilson's Allen's Dictator.A gal can spend a lot of time browsing through these champion lists. But what if you find yourself with a thoroughbred racing horse that doesn't have a name? How could you possibly compete with the great names of the past? First, there are a lot of rules. Then you have to make sure no one else is using it [note: this site is awesome - type in any funny word you can think of and it will show you all the named horses that start with that word. Or just type in a letter and browse from there.] Does this all seem like too much work? Then all you have to do is send $30-$50 over to Select-a-Name, a professional naming service for race horses. This is either the best or the worst idea for a home business ever. I'm going to put my money on best.
Let us now giggle at all the names that start with beer:
Beer and Bananas (1983)
Beer and Donuts (1999)
Beer At the Bit (2000)
Beer Baroness (2003)
Beer Belly (2000)
Beerbelly Queen (2002)
Beerbellys Sister (1999)
Beer Chaser (2004)
Beer Cloud (2001)
Beer for Breakfast (2000)
Beer for Ed (1993)
Beerformyhorses (2004)
Beer Goggles (1998)
The Beer Hunter (2004)
Beer in Malta (2002)
Beerman (1996)
Beer Me (1999)
Beermeathebit (1999)
The Beer Miser (2002)
Beer Money (2001)
Beer N Bones (2002)
Beer On Tap (2002)
Beer Or Champagne (1997)
Beer Run (2000)
Beers (1997)
Beer Stien (2002)
Lucky for me, Space Beer is not yet taken, so the hard job of picking a name is done. Now I just have to buy me a race horse.

"Beerbelly's Sister" sounds like a pretentious novel.
Beer Goggles 1998 is our newly adopted friend and he is a very handsome guy so we are giving him a more appropriate show name.
