(4,429 posts)1. I don't understand
I'm guessing others do and I don't know what you are referring to. But I thought I'd ask.

Especially since I'm a guy.

For me that would be no longer able to cycle because of disability. Perhaps you are using a metaphor.

and lamented that his health prevented him from fishing. Me and some cousins took him to a fish hatchery. It was the type of place that had so many fish that just throwing a hook in the water would catch one. My grandfather spent the afternoon reeling in trout after trout. It made him happy beyond belief. I'm sure you'll get to spend more time around horses before all is said and done.

"There are various euphemisms for death during sex, including "dying in the saddle", "death by snu snu" or the French "la mort d'amour".
