When you read that as “candy center” I’d like to imagine that you’re saying “candy centaur”. Go ahead, read it again. I’ll wait for you.
The centaur is one of the most under-rated creatures of “Greek Mythology”. It’s true, they don’t have the “cool” factor like the medusa, pegasus, or that cool copper owl from Clash of the Titans. That’s good stuff.
Centaurs, they don’t get much respect.
They’re fast, fairly smart, and if I lived in some sort of fantasy world like Middle-Earth, I’d ride one. (He/She could hold my Dr. Pepper!)
I should also point out that I probably invented them, along with the “manotaur” and the “Owl-Polar-Bear”, but that’s another story. (And no, I don’t really have any proof besides this sack of teeth/beaks.)
I also invented the pelican, but I shouldn’t brag. But, back to the centaur.
I think that the car companies are really missing out on naming their new automobiles after this noble beast. Think about it:
- Ride the new Ford Centaur
- Brought to you by the Chevrolet Centaur
- Mitsubishi Centaur?
It’s all good. Hear me Detroit? Success is just one four-hoofed mythological beast named car away.

You want to talk about centaurs not getting much respect, look at the last Narnia movie. Somehow, Hollywood can make anything happen and make it look real, but the centaurs still look goofy and awkward. The minotaurs look awesome. And we’ve got cars that jump into the air and turn into enormous robots, and it looks awesome. But our centaurs? Sad, sad, sad.
Centaurs were also rather, um, randy.
Oh man. Ethan just ruined my dream of having a handsome centaur-steed as my ride to work. Now I’d be afraid to turn my back on him >.>
Somehow the subtle slip of I’d ride her and she could hold my Dr. Pepper made me grateful that you included a “he” in there as well. Somehow it seems less politically correct to assume you could just corral a female centaur and make her your own personal furry Dr. Pepper cup holder. Do they have PC rules in middle earth? Probably not. Any society that encourages everybody to wear broadswords probably is not so concerned about giving and taking offence
I wanted it to be more about riding a “centaur” than me dominating a woman to do my bidding.
That said, I still want a centaur to be my personal assistant/servant.
Just wait until I say something insensitive about Satyrs!
