Big Truck + Etched = Mack the Knife

Attempted Humor + Returning = Horse Names AGAIN?

It's time once again to enjoy the world's most popular sport: mating. And here's the Losers' favorite way to go about it. Below are the names of 100 of the horses eligible for this year's Triple Crown races. Your job is to "breed" any two -- even though they're all male -- and provide an appropriate name for their foal. As in real life, the names cannot be longer than 18 characters, including spaces. There is no limit on the number of entries you may send per e-mail, but you certainly don't get extra credit for sending every last combination that pops into your head: A Derby-caliber entry can sometimes be blocked from view in a field of verbal nags. If you're writing more than a handful, be sure to double-space. Results run May 3, the day of the Kentucky Derby.

Winner gets the Inker, the official Style Invitational trophy. Second place receives, appropriately, an official commemorative mint julep glass from the 2005 Derby, donated by Loser Wilson Varga of Alexandria.

Other runners-up win their choice of a coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt or yearned-for Loser Mug. Honorable Mentions get one of the lusted-after Style Invitational Magnets. One prize per entrant per week. Send your entries by e-mail to losers@washpost.com or by fax to 202-334-4312. Deadline is Monday, April 14. Put "Week 759" in the subject line of your e-mail, or it risks being ignored as spam. Include your name, postal address and phone number with your entry. Contests are judged on the basis of humor and originality. All entries become the property of The Washington Post. Entries may be edited for taste or content. No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. . This week's Honorable Mentions name is by Kevin Dopart.
