Tired of always being in the background watching Boots fold, Trigger purchased voice-to-text software (it's hard to type with hooves), and using Boots' old computer, is now a regular in FoldIt chat. Trigger claims to be directly descended from Mister Ed, the world's first talking horse. His namesake is from actor Roy Rogers' steed, Trigger, from whom he also claims descent. Of course, Trigger claims to be related to every famous horse that has ever lived, including Seabiscuit, The Pie from National Velvet, Seattle Slew, and Secretariat. When prompted for his birth certificate, Trigger changes the subject.
