How come Athena sounds so much sexier than Clydesdale ?  Athena's are hot warrior women right?  Clydesdale's pull a budweiser cart right?  I suggest we change the name of Clydesdales to

Thor's (Gods of thunder)

Hulks without the anger

Giant really cool dudes..

 

Any other suggestions ?

But Clydesdales are very strong, big, powerful creatures that have a beauty all their own.  I can appreciate the aesthetics of the larger horse breeds such as Belgians and Clydesdales.  They just look mighty and like they can tackle anything!

Well, I think the modern interpretation of Athena is "hot," but if you look at some of the older depictions, she wasn't much to look at.  Then again, I have no idea what their standard of hot was back then.

Manatee might be more appropriate for some Clydesdales.

I agree.

 

I've been told I was a big aesthetically pleasing beast before.

I prefer "Spartan". They may be out numbered, but at least they show up ready to fight.

How about larger slower people who just want to fit into a smaller fast person's world. Kidding. I like Titans. Spartans is also cool.

I have to say, I like Clydesdale.  I am a country girl and grew up around horses and I see Clydesdales as big, strong, powerful, beautiful horses.  They arent Thuroughbreds or quarterhorses, but are much more graceful and amazing.  It fits

The best I could come up with is

Biggies

or

Tanks

So I am inclined to yield to Titans, or just stick with Clydesdales. The name never bothered me and they are awesome animals.

Clydes is out..because I hate Budweiser.  Spartans is out for two reason.. I hate Michigan State..and not a big fan of how the Spartans spent their nights before battle.  Titans is tolerable.  Honey Badgers isn't descriptive enough.


Yes I know..I am being a hater right now.  On my bike at IMMOO I was referred to as "Big Guy" a lot..although I lost 40 lbs am 6'1" and hovering right at 200.  What are we doing in a sport where our competition is 150 lb guys?  Really? 150 lb guys?  Just sayin.

I think SoberTriGuy (the OP) has a pretty good alternative in his sig line.  It says he's from Minnetonka, MN.  How about Tonka, the Sioux word for great? (I bet you'd run into trademark problems with it, though
