Thanks, Atari. Not for any of your games, but for this. Today's ironic desktop picture of the day, from Wii game My Horse and Me.


My Horse and Me

It should be My Horse and I. This appalling standard of grammar is why Atari's in so much shit these days.


My Unspoken Teen Fantasies and Me

There's nothing we like more than a nice bit of nuzzling.

I've never owned a horse, but I used to deliver daily to a stables nearby - frequently hearing cries of "Hit the beast girl,don't fanny about! Hit it if it won't do as it's told!" as I drove into the yard. The proprietor was a Hattie Jacques lookalike with a fearful temper. She's dead now, poor old girl, or locked up for animal cruelty - I'm not sure which.

Anyway, I turned up one day when they were "sheath-cleaning". Look it up on Google if you want to be mortified and emasculated at the same time. I bet that didn't make it into the game. Not without the messy suicides of some of the coders anyway.

I now want to see the XBOX 360 game, THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?

I'm not sure that "My Horse & Me" is necessarily bad grammar on its own. The rule is that you choose between "I" and "Me" depending on what would be appropriate in the sentence if you took "My Friend" (or "My Horse") out, and as the title of this game isn't part of a larger sentence there's nothing to go on. A game could conceivably be called either "I" or "Me" so I think in this case either version is acceptable.

Horse game validated!

I'd groom it.

The girl in the photo has clearly just finished 'sheath cleaning' and is now forcing the horse to smell her fingers - dirty bitch.

A game with a little girl on the cover that advocates grooming certainly gets my vote, bad grammar or not.

"What is "smegma"? Smegma is a collection of dirt and excretions, builds up inside the sheath and must be removed for the sake of the horse's health. It is not the most pleasant thing to do, but it is essential. If you don't or can't do this, you should have your veterinarian clean your horse's sheath at least every 6 months.

What is a "bean"? A firm lump of smegma that has collected and hardened inside the horse's penis. This lump or "bean" must be removed as often as possible. It can cause serious pain to your horse. There have been thousands cases in the last year where the bean is overlooked by the owner and becomes so large that the horse can no longer urinate...which may also cause other problems due to blockage."


One more reason to HATE HORSES.

Any Red dwarf fan would know about smegma

Thank you for that link. The greatest thing about that page is the submit form at the bottom instructing to "Send This Article To A Friend!"

"This is a picture of my horse."

"This is a picture of me."

"This is a picture of my horse and me."

Not "This is a picture of my horse and I." Because you wouldn't say "This is a picture of I."

Grammar Nazis to battle!

this isn't a yingyang twins album, get the name right!
Blogger Lord Onan said...
I agree. There's nothing wrong with this title in terms of grammar. It could go either way. "This is my horse and me" or "My horse and I", as in "My horse and I recently starred in a series of adult movies."
Blogger Resident said...
^ Now THAT game, I would buy.

I thought that when you use 'me', it has to be first, and when you use 'I', it has to be last; so it can either be "Me and my horse" or "My horse and I."
Blogger Branch-me-do said...
I can't believe I'm asking... but surely the force of the horse going for a piss will dislodge the smeg bean?

Please just answer YES or NO, I don't want an explanation or graphic description.

ebfpxyq: distressed spluttering as one 'sheath cleans' for the first time ever and comes across a bean the size of a new potato.

"I thought that when you use 'me', it has to be first, and when you use 'I', it has to be last; so it can either be "Me and my horse" or "My horse and I.""

The 'me' can come first, but you'd usually put it last, and in 'my horse and me'. Both are fine, but it's polite to put yourself last.
