How tall is your husband? I think one would have to have both long legs and a long torso or neck to be able to ride the blue pony.

I didn't even know what baloney pony meant until I just googled it. Reminds me of the Steely Dan, a bicycle set up with a penetrating seat apparatus, it went up and down as the rider peddled.

To me the face is saying "Get this guy off me before he breaks my back!"

It was kind of a trike (seated) chariot pulled by five pairs of merry-go-round horses
and powered by something like 3-to-5 inline 125 cc engines.

It was SO cool and SO unique that I came THIS close to getting it.

It almost certainly would have been a disaster.

I ended up very, VERY happily with an 1100cc Honda Shadow Spirit.
