Purely by chance, this plumbers-tape equivalent to the chalk-horse of Britain, appeared on the table in my kitchen. I expect a minor religion to start up around it.

The observations of an observant Southlander

Any assistance from a stray finger, Rg?
Good likeness though.
None, fred. Pure chance. I've been plumbing a new gas hob and this tape-horse (distinct from a tapeworm) was discarded when I learned that I have to use the yellow type, as this will not do the trick. My wife and daughter despaired when I appeared with my camera. They are at a loss as to why I have to shoot every inconsequential thing I see :-) Luckily, they were out of the room when I spotted the little splodge of cheese clinging to the side of my toasted sandwich...
Be quick to cash in!
Serious religions have been built on less, and to serious profit...;)
Sign me up..I need a Higher Power and the tape-equine seems as legitimate as the others...credit card at the ready.
I'll have to, reluctantly, take the role of High Priest of the Tape Horse. I'll need robes and a sceptre. I may be able to use my daikon suit and a length of ginkgo biloba my sister's sending me from Nelson. I'll intone equine things, and we'll partake of Holy Sugar Cubes. There'll be a Saddle Ritual and Rubdowns.
High Priestess, Suz? Do you canter? (I'm thinking 'Canterbury' here - a very Religious Place, according the Chaucer.)'There'll be a flock, I suppose. What shall we do with them?
Is it too early to excommunicate?
My most recent interaction with a horse was watching Mr Ed on Maori Television...something I'd heartily recommend! Educational and hysterical in equal measure :-)
Looking forward to photos of the robes and sceptre...NEVER too early to excommunicate.
Sorry to say, I think it looks more like a goat than a horse
Mr Ed is our Patron Saint.
Yes, AC. It's a horse-goat.
