OK, I read the topic line and now I'm here. One thing I wanna make notice of is that Lad's new pic looks more like a Sancho Panza than a Rocinante. Although young Mr. Panza was never ment to be some kind of sombreroed revolutionist. :shock:

Interesting that you mention it, as you may well know, Sancho used to ride an ass.

Edit, to add:
Don Quixote wrote:Meanwhile Don Quixote worked upon a farm labourer, a neighbour of his, an honest man (if indeed that title can be given to him who is poor), but with very little wit in his pate. In a word, he so talked him over, and with such persuasions and promises, that the poor clown made up his mind to sally forth with him and serve him as esquire. Don Quixote, among other things, told him he ought to be ready to go with him gladly, because any moment an adventure might occur that might win an island in the twinkling of an eye and leave him governor of it. On these and the like promises Sancho Panza (for so the labourer was called) left wife and children, and engaged himself as esquire to his neighbour.
Yup, pretty much like Lad has sold off his life to Op's promises.

:lol:

Well, although this passage talks more about Sancho's peculiar character than about the ass he rode, it may provide more fodder for your guttered thoughts:
Sancho Panza, when he saw the friar on the ground, dismounting briskly from his ass, rushed towards him and began to strip off his gown. At that instant the friars muleteers came up and asked what he was stripping him for. Sancho answered them that this fell to him lawfully as spoil of the battle which his lord Don Quixote had won.
