There are a lot of
things silly things I have purchased in my time. I did have to have
a portable folding metal stove you could put in a backpack. I've
never used it, but it was really cool. There was a gadget that has
over a dozen things it could do and was really cheap. So, the light
it provided stopped working, the compass didn't last too long but the
mini mirror and whistle that came with it are still in perfect
condition. I can honestly say that I've never been tempted to
purchase poop of any kind. If someone said they could sell me a jar
of poop from the Lassie I wouldn't be interested. There are people
who see things differently from me. It appears there has been an
artist selling poop from a 1997 Kentucky winning horse. I think
making money off of poop and calling yourself an artist and not a
feces entrepreneur is pretty crappy.
“What is this? It
looks like a jar of horse poop.”
“Why, that is not
just any horse poop. It is poop from a horse that won the Kentucky
Derby in 1997.”
“How do you know it
is Kentucky Derby winning horse poop? It could be poop from any
horse.”
“It just is and
that's it. Now go buy your 27 in one gadget and leave me alone.”
“Okay.”
Below are excerpts from
the story with my valuable insights in italics.
That's right, an artist in
Kentucky has been gathering the poop of the 1997 Kentucky Derby
winner, putting it in a jar and selling it, WLEX
reports.
People come to the Old Friends Farm and they all want to see Silver Charm.
It seems everyone has their reason to meet Silver Charm, and for one artist, that reason was poop

I wonder if this person
ever feels that people only love him for the poop he can provide
them? How do you come up with such an idea? Do you just look at
horse poop one day and think to yourself, I bet people will probably
pay good money for that horse poop. I'll just put it in some jars
and sell it.
What would an
advertisement for horse poop be like?
“What do you give the
person who has everything? You give them a jar of horse poop, but
not just any horse poop. We can provide you with authentic poop from
a horse that won the Kentucky Derby in 1997. See for yourself how
this derby winning equine's digestive system gave him what was
necessary to become a champion. Horse poop from the Belmont Stakes
and Preakness Stakes winners to come very soon. Start your
collection today.”
The man behind the poop is
artist Coleman Larkin.
"You gotta get 'em fresh, that's super important. You gotta have that nice shape," Larkin said.
He puts the preserved pieces in Mason jars. Just don't ask him how.
"Oh yeah, it's top secret. I don't want any of my competitors in the turd jarring industry to find out how to do this."

It is good to know that
when you purchase Kentucky Derby winning horse poop, it is fresh.
You would want to pay for horse poop that has aged for too long. I
do wonder if they discard the horse poop that is not a nice shape or
sell it at a discount? Maybe they provide half-off shapeless horse
poop. I must admit that if you're going to purchase Kentucky Derby
winning horse poop, it should be in a Mason jar. None of this
discarded old mayonnaise or pickle jar stuff, you want the quality
that comes with a Mason jar. It's good to know that Colonel Sanders
had a secret recipe that was finger-licking good. Artist Coleman
Larken has a secret method for jarring Kentucky Derby winning horse
poop. It may someday be as valuable as the recipe for Coke.
If you're wondering who
would sell this, look no further than the company Kentucky for
Kentucky.
"It's horse-made and handmade here in Kentucky," says Whit Hiler of Kentucky for Kentucky. "Which is very unique and how many things can you buy that are horse-made and handmade."
The price is steep - $200.
I can not disagree that
Kentucky Derby-winning horse poop is made in Kentucky. I do think it
is a bit of false advertising to say it was handmade. I believe it
is obvious this horse poop is equine made in Kentucky. Could they be
considering branching out to sell other items horses discard? Would
they want to save the trimmings from a horse's hoof and sell those in
a Mason jar? Are we going to see bits of a Kentucky Derby winning
horse hair mane for sale in a Mason jar? I'm sure there are many
possibilities they have yet to explore.
If you have to pay $200
for Kentucky Derby-winning horse poop, I wonder if the cost of the
horse poop decreases based on how the horse placed in the race. It
may be $200 for a jar of the Kentucky Derby-winning horse's poop,
$150 for the poop of the horse that placed second, $100 for the horse
that placed third and so on. I'm sure savvy horse poop collectors
around the world will know if this is a good deal.
