My friend Edie and I thought it would be fun to ask a few folks what she should name her new baby donkey. So we ran this <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/index.php?blog=2&amp;title=name_that_donkey_win_a_got_mule_t_shirt&amp;more=1&amp;c=1&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1\" target=\"_blank\">contest<\/a>, with a <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Got Mule?&#8221; t-shirt<\/a> going to the winner. And I ended up spending more than a few hours sifting, sorting, and spread-sheeting (yes, it&#8217;s now a verb) all the submissions.<\/p>\n<p>And the winner is&#8230;Molasses (or &#8220;Moe&#8221; for short) Plus, it works in the meaningless bonus points for having &#8220;ass&#8221; in the name. This was actually suggested by six different people, but JoAnn K (of Muldrow, OK) got her entry in first and gets a &#8220;Got Mule?&#8221; t-shirt. Jeff S (Santa Cruz, CA), Gail H (San Jose, CA), Pete K (Redlands, CA), Lisa M (Orlando, FL), and Misty P (Azle, TX), who sent in &#8220;Molasses&#8221; after JoAnna will get a few MP3s as a sort of runner-up prize.) Big thanks to everyone who entered. This was a fun little exercise (spread-sheeting notwithstanding, of course.) I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll do something like this again in the near future.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/7833_01.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baby Molasses<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the meantime, here&#8217;s a big, blocky list of all the names that were submitted:<\/p>\n<p>DennASS, Jack (Ass), Kong (as in &#8220;Donkey&#8221;), Wyatt, Donkey-Hotey, Spring, Preciass, ASStronomic, ASSmygrass, Saint NickolASS, PicASSo, Elvis, Blackie, Buddy, SASSafrASS, CompASS, No HASSles, ClassicAss, Cassanova, &#8220;Holly&#8217;s Ass, Hollyson, Li&#8217;l Bit, Jehosephat, Assan, Cass, Jack, Kassi, Henry, SassafrASS, Buck, Buddy Holly, OBSIDIAN, Jassper the Jackass, Cassper, cASSidy, Sassafras, Baby, Assinus, Sassy, Boji, Vegass, Victoriass, Assimillion, Assifeller, Spyglass, Chassis, Asstronaught, Grasshopper, St. Subasstian, Passtor, Fred ASStaire, FASST Talkin&#8217; Frankie, MavelASS, Pinnochio, Dodge, Eugene, Trigger, El Culo Negro, PhineASS Thomas (&#8220;PT for short&#8221;), Feassta.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fbaby_molasses_or_moe_for_short%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File this under &#8220;careful what you ask for&#8221;.
