First Madoff and now this. Its been a bad winter for the Palm Beach crowd. Headline said horses became dizzy. How would you really know that unless it was Mr Ed. "Wilbur I'm feeling dizzy"

Wow, only four replies needed to get to SportsJournalists.com's stupidest meme!

The role of write then drink will be played tonight by deskslave.

Nah. That's really the only one I truly hate. The rest are at least marginally funny.

Now get the **** off my lawn.

According to several sources, the horses had a reaction to a steroid derivative that may have been tainted with a cleaning solution, the Sun Sentinel reported.
