Well Fleetfoot, your first day on the job and already you're making mistakes. Might wanna start digging your grave for when Spitfire comes back.
Wow, talk about your brick jokes!
And I take it Pinkie's getting thrown into the mix....
5931702 The great thing about this genre is that if you look hard enough, you can find a horse reference in anything.

Wow. That's a lot of work. Impressive.
So, I've lost count of the number of dominos that you've stacked.
