LOLOL My blonde daughter has a gray horse which she shows extensively. Occasionally she forgets a dressage movement and she refers to it as a "two blondes in a ring" moment.

Just change the name of the pageant to "Wet T-shirt Contest" and continue on.

The sprinkler head didn't break according to the story:
Firefighters said heat from a steamer triggered the sprinkler system on the second floor of the Paramount Arts Center.
