Ah Come on CW. I saw you play Rugby in Berlin. Iffen I can’t have a little fun with you who can I?
But still Polo?
@ AZOlddog:
You’re watching the wrong game. Drawing fouls is part of the strategy of basketball and American football. Sometimes it works, sometimes it’s ridiculously fake. Same with soccer.
Whoops just saw the post about the family hobby! Analogy still stands, good polo horses make GREAT Light Cav mounts!

@ coldwarrior:
I got to love the sport when my kids were playing, and I took the time to learn the rules and strategy. My eldest preferred to play keeper, and at first it bothered me, until I asked her.
She said that the front line were all glory queens, but as keeper you are in charge of defense, and you out-rank the coach for directing players.
That changed my opinion of both the game and the position of keeper. Keepers are the brains of the team.

I guess our ideas of control of a Pony have to fall into “Agree to Disagree” but respect.

On another topic, Papa Strutts axed me to order him a copy of “Joe Rochefort’s War.” It showed up yesterday, looks pretty good. The worst review on Amazon (one star) complained about the price of a kindle copy. The next two negative reviews gave it three stars for some minor inaccuracies.
I haven’t read it yet, but some of you coldwar vets might like it. I also have a spare copy of David Khan’s “The Code Breakers” if anyone wants it.

I watch one Breed Final of the Westminster show on the web every year! I breed Dobermans for Protection Dogs. The rest of that Fag Fest can go blow a kite!
My Kids were adopted by Dobies and both my broods of Grandkids have been adopted by Dobies (conveniently trained by Grandpa) and I have little fear for either!
Only reason I watch the Breed Finals is to track bloodlines, the show sucketh great Swamp Water!

Well looky. Over 100 on the OOT, and it’s not even midnight PST. BRING IT YOU POLO LOVERS.
Well, do what they do just east of here -- ride to the hunt. All you need are some damned expensive horses, a bunch of damned expensive gear, and a lot of money to join the group. Somebody has to pay for all those dogs, you know.
Personally, back when I could, I liked yacht racing.
@ Mike C.:
Fox hunts are awesome. If Polo had ponies AND dogs it wouldn’t be as stupid. But that’s just my opinion.
@ Bunk X:
you enjoy your camels.
i’ll take my ponies. thanks.
and yes, we do fox hunts as well.
the american quarter horse is an amazing animal
@ Mike C.:
I started learning about yacht racing by accident. A friend was teaching me the ropes on a 28 foot sloop when we kinda got in the way of some racers coming down wind with full spinnakers.
We blundered into the line up and cut the wind from the lead boats -- their sails started luffing all over the place. They cussed us out big time, but the guys in 3rd and 4th place were laughing and tossing us beers.
now good night.
@ coldwarrior:
You’re taking me too seriously.
Lemme know if you’re interested in the book I mentioned upthread.
@ coldwarrior:
Yeah, that was wrong. Screw camels.
I have actually attended a camel race, at the track at Safaniya in Qatar, back when it was brand new. One of the damndest things I ever saw.
People think “yacht racing” refers only to large, extremely expensive boats. Actually, it can refer to racing Sunfish or sailboards. No game played with a ball has even remotely the rule complexity or strategy of a yacht race -- not even close.
I’m referring to classic triangle course yacht racing here. Point-to-point races are different. Match racing usually has the same rules, but the strategy is different.
I always enjoyed the pig races at the county fair…you got yer track, you got yer bleechers with an excellent view and you got your thoroughbred squeelers with decals etc…tiny, pounding hooves chasing that Oreo, the speed and grace of motion, one lap, pedal to the metal…that’s racing!
Camel racing is interesting because there’s TWO starting lines -- the first part of the race is from one to the other, with the handlers leading the camels. At the second starting line, the handlers let go when the gate goes down and run like hell to keep from getting trampled. Then the track is essentially two concentric tracks -- the inner one for the camels, thoe outer one for the owners in their Toyota Land Cruisers, Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes, driving around so they can scream at the riders at the top of their lungs the entire race. Another interesting fact is that the riders (usually young Somali boys “purchased” until they get too big) are velcroed to the camel saddle. Takes two full-grown men to peel them off after the race.
@ Mike C.:
I used to live next to Gull Lake in Kalamazoo county MI…5 mi long and over a mile wide lying NW to SE…winter ice was superb and there was an annual ice boat regatta…aside from the big boys, several of us had DN’s and would sail them up and down the lake…my best friend and I rebuilt his dad’s antique and we built a second from scratch…years later I had a 29′ Hunter and sailed it quite a bit on Lake Michigan, but I’ll never forget my little DN and how much fun it is to ‘sail’ on frozen water…ice boating is very cool, especially in a DN where you feel every ripple on the ice flying along heeled over downwind with your port runner 4 ft off the ice…better than sex bro…stopping is a challenge tho
@ Mike C.:
toss in some ice cold beer and we got stuff going on…I’m tempted toward racing…engines, camels, pigs, boats…it’s all about being fast…I believe there is a racing gene
DN sailing…watch at 1:15 where he grabs some air and takes off…
On ice or on land, sailors can exceed the wind speed, in which case they’re always going to windward, regardless of their compass direction relative to wind direction. Hard to do that when liquid water is involved.
Most of my racing was in keel monohulls, although 27′ was the largest I ever helmed. I liked my Sonar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonar_(keelboat) back when I had it. Hull # 47.

Hello? Jason Kenney? Can you do something about the latest piece of idiocy here in Toronto? I mean, declaring ourselves a “Sanctuary” city? Really? We have 37 people that have declared themselves to be breakers of Canadian Federal law. And turning the whole sector of municipal employees into accomplices.
They are giving “rights” to people that are in essence criminals. Queue jumpers and impatient people that aren’t willing to go through the hoops to be here legally. Possibly because they KNOW they can’t do it the legal way.
Meanwhile, I have TWO sister inlaws that ARE doing it the legal way. Where are they right now? Back in their HOME countries while the paperwork is being done, and the hoops being jumped through. Toronto City Council, GFY’s. Morons, idiots, crooks, panderers. Efffing COMMUNISTS!!!!!!!!!!

Jumping off a boat going 55mph is crazy as hell, but being young, one tends to do scary shit!
I had a 2 month old Lab puppy try to catch a duck flying down the lake by jumping off the front deck of the ranger as we were going about 65mph. Thought I lost that dog that day, but after slowing and getting turned around the little guy was swimming around. I dragged his butt out and from then on anytime the motor was running he would lay down by my feet. Turned out to be the smartest dog I ever owned!

Peter Hitchens thinks that Conservatives who think that marijuana should be legal are “succumbing to the self-indulgence of the 1960′s.”
I was born in 1975, Pete.
And your argument stinks.
I understand the whole globalization angle, and don’t doubt that legalisation advocates in other countries have had more nefarious purposes in mind, as do the nimrods at NORML here.
None of that matters, as long as the legalisation legislation proposed (and hopefully passed) here simply repeals and reschedules.

@ Bumr50:
legalization is inevitable, but for the wrong reasons…not for the freedom to smoke it, but for the taxes generated
@ Bumr50:
Drug prohibition has failed as surely as alcohol Prohibition failed in the ’20s and ’30s. It is time to recognize that failuer, and end the prohibition. All making drugs illegal does is enrich those who are willing to take the legal risks to supply the demand.
@ heysoos:
That’s why I, a user, don’t support most legislation that they put forward.
Groups like NORML (as with pretty much EVERY group populated by a majority of Leftists) have become simply another tentacled arm of big goverment.
That doesn’t mean that the legalization of MARIJUANA (not everything else blanket) is the wrong thing to do.
Hitchens argues that because the “movement” has been hijacked, it’s stated end goal isn’t worth pursuing (I think, it’s a pretty disjointed and lousy argument).
This (to me) smacks of chasing away homosexuals because there are certain groups of homosexuals that are attempting to undermine the free world.
I guess that I just feel that this is a really, really lousy time to pick to try and define what we will and will not put up with. We need, if anything, a simpler message of small government and personal freedom.
