Yeah, and I just realized that Beef probably did this so that the fight organizers wouldn't realize that there were 3001 men inside the Acres. Dang, I've read this arc like thirty times and I never realized until now that he did that for reasons other than building a brand.

When I go to horse races, I choose my bets by the creativity by which the steeds are named. That is why I do not win. However, my grandfather can bet on his age and multiply his money like nobody's business. Is this fair? I think not.

I've never understood horse names. Why are they always so weird? I saw this one racehorse named No Kelp Weed one time. I mean, what the hell?
That said, if I had a racehorse I would probably scour the novels of Thomas Pynchon until I could find a sentence that contains at least three wonderful words and makes no sense out of context, and then my horse would be named.
That or, like, Patton.

Somebody once told me that the ships 'Very Little Gravitas Indeed' and 'Zero Gravitas' were a response to a scathing review. Is this true?
IainMBanks
Yes. But it was a scathing review of Culture ship-naming policy delivered by another Involved civilisation. They suggested that such enormously powerful and intellectually refined entities ought to have names with a little more gravitas, to reflect their near-god-like status; the immediate and sustained reaction of one of the Culture's ship manufacturies was to name all its subsequent vessels things like: Stood Far Back When The Gravitas Was Handed Out; Gravitas, What Gravitas?; Gravitas... Gravitas... No, Don't Help Me, I'll Get It In A Moment; Gravitas Free Zone; Low Gravitas Warning Signal, etc etc (including the Zen-like Absolutely No You-No-What). I am so sad I have a separate list of the Gravitas ships at home. It currently runs to about 20, I think.

Them poor horse owners. Naming is constrained kinds like actors in SAG -- you can't have a name any other horse has ever had. Some stables will have a 'brand' name, like Skyview Desert Wind, Skyview Daddy's Luck, etc. Racehorse owners/breeders are also hella superstitious, so names are sometimes tied up in their personal voodoo. There my be other more arcane rules I'm too lazy to research.
The perversity of the universe tends to a maximum.
