	The Dandy Warhols
		However, the album makes a hairpin turn into Odelay-era Beck territory on the southern-flavored fourth song, appropriately titled "Country Leaver." From then on it’s anything goes for the Dandys, from the funky and silly ("Horse Pills," "Shakin’") to the slow and gorgeous ("Sleep," "The Gospel").
		The Dandy Warhols are a band you’d love to hate.
		The blissful dream-pop trilogy of "Godless," "Mohammed" and "Nietzsche" which opens Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia recalls the seamless haze of My Bloody Valentine’s Loveless, with a bit of Belle and Sebastian-esque orchestration thrown in.

		Probably the first practical dandy horse was the draisine, originated c.1816 by Baron Karl Drais von Sauerbronn, chief forester of the duchy of Baden, to facilitate his inspection tours.
		The name velocipede is often given to early forms of the bicycle and to its predecessor, the dandy horse, a two-wheeled vehicle moved by the thrust of the rider's feet upon the ground.
		Introduced into England in 1818, it was slowly improved, and c.1839 Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, developed a machine propelled by foot treadles and incorporating cranks, driving rods, and handlebars.

	Weird Words: Velocipedist
		Other names were dandy-horse (because it was taken up by the fashionable young men of the period called dandies) and hobby-horse (abbreviated to hobby), after the ancient toy of a stick with a horse’s head that children would pretend to ride.
		The English borrowed the French term, without the accents, but also called it a draisine after the German inventor.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > Sports -- A dandy was Sande
		Gallant Fox's one loss, by eight lengths to 100-1 shot Jim Dandy in the mud of the Travers Stakes in August at Saratoga, is one of the biggest upsets in racing history.
		Sande's faith in the horse was such that, in lieu of his usual monthly retainer, he agreed to 10 percent of The Fox's earnings instead.
		With Sande providing a masterful ride through traffic in an 11-horse field, they scored a three-quarter length victory in the Preakness – the first of the majors that year – on May 9.

		I was not trying to propose a new etymology for ANE.KUR.RA, though I have had problem with the traditional one for a long time, since in my admittedly meagre knowledge of animal husbandry, the "mountain donkey" would be the onager rather than the horse, but what do I know.
		At the time the song was first composed, it was not at all nice to be called a "Yankee" or, for that matter, a "Doodle;" and there are (were?) even some pejorative aspects to "dandy." Nonetheless, the term "Yankee," and the song, was adopted with pride by those it was meant to ridicule.
		Subject: Re: ane Hapiru/Hebrew & Folk etymologies, Yankee Doodle Dandy Date: Sun, Dec 19, 1999, 11:17 Dear Chaim, and list-members, I believe the term "Yankee" was originally a pejorative.

		The "draisine" of 1817 had two inline wheels connected to a wooden frame by forks, and the front wheel was steerable.
		They were more like scooters than bicycles, because the only means of propulsion was to push against the ground.

	Irene Manning -- star of screen, stage
		Manning began her Hollywood career in 1936 with a kiss from Gene Autry in "The Old Corral." It would be the last time that Autry would kiss a leading lady on screen, as legend has it his fans demanded he only kiss his horse Champion in future films.
		Manning, best known as the leading lady alongside Bogart in the 1942 action film "The Big Shot" and as the Broadway diva who sang with James Cagney in the 1942 musical "Yankee Doodle Dandy," died Friday at her home in San Bruno of respiratory complications.

		His best American runners were Devil His Due, a New York-bred who won the Jim Dandy and Travers at Saratoga and earned nearly $4 million, and top handicap horse Twilight Agenda, who was a millionaire.
		His late trainer, the great Woody Stephens, pronounced him the "greatest horse I have ever trained." Coming from Stephens, who would go on to condition five straight winners of the Belmont Stakes, that was high praise, indeed.
		Stephens was an entertaining and witty man, but he was as tough as nails.

		But the 5th Earl, by contrast, was a fine figure of a man, something of a dandy and a superb horseman.
		As Lord Castlerosse, he had been Master of the Horse and held other Household appointments in Dublin Castle under the Conservative Lords Lieutenant who preceded his accession to the title, and from 1905 he was State Steward to the Liberal Earl of Aberdeen.
		The constant litigation involving the family from the date of the forfeiture of the estate in 1691 until in 1768 Thomas, 4th Viscount, finally got clear of encumbrances, resulted in the accumulation of a great quantity of papers relating to the various lawsuits in which he and his father were engaged.

	20 Daffodil's Dam
		Many of his horses were painted by John Wootton, and quite a few bred on and are duly recorded in the GSB, therefore the absence of any information on Daffodil's dam, beyond the information that she was by Sir Thomas Gascoigne's "Foreign horse," is puzzling.
		The Earl was a court dandy and favorite who held a number of appointments.
		Owned by Charles Colyear (2nd) Earl of Portmore, she ran in the early 1730s, her most notable win probably being a 4 mile match race against Edward Coke's mare Silverlocks for 300 guineas at Newmarket in 1731; later that year a rematch was held, which she lost.
