i pick monday

i work sun and mon. perhaps we can have some kind of julie-liberation party at 530 on sun? (perhaps we can scrape together POLO MALLETS, my bretheren???)

for those of you with free time, i do think it would be good for the pirates to have a set of polo mallets. we'd need 6, for traditional 3-on-3 play. or possibly 8, for 4-on-4 or for in case we kill one by mistake.

RECIPE:
take cheapie used golf club (think garage sale, goodwill, dumpster)
remove head, using hacksaw or gnawing it off with really sharp teeth
attach an approx. 8" piece of pvc piping (4" diameter or so) where the yuppie clubhead was

note: try not to bolt the thing on, ok? that leaves you metal sticking out the bottom of the club, and may result in blood being drawn during certain incidents.

It doesn't leave metal sticking out if you do it right.

Polo playing pirates partying, pillage, and plundering at Poopncows? If only he live on P St.

let me be perfectly honest: i play polo for the bruises and crashes, not to win.

anyway, who's making 'em?? c'mon... someone?

oh, and the good news is, there's a great polo spot on p street. though i prefer sherwood. something about the fountain in the middle for people to fall into makes it all the more fun.

listen.

I will henceforth dedicate all of my ever-so-frequent dumpster dives to the procuring of mallet making materials! My parents have a croquet set, but i think they wouldn't be pleased if i broke their precious relics of the swinging 70's.

So,, They may not be ready by sunday/monday
but they're on the way..

in a related topic...
care to share?
i've tought about it two ways (and clearly need to be given something to do...)

[edit] photo and discussion moved to new thread [/edit]

It got a little small, but anyway...
-two washers, one on the outside, one on the inside (mayby bent to accomodate the curvature of the pipe) (green dot)
-a bolt (blue dot)
-a peg (or however you call a "Dübel") (red dot)

edited for tink...

care to end this polo related discussion and move it over to the other thread?
oh,, and repost your schematic (nice!!) with maybe an explanation of the red dot?

Rhode Island and 5th NW 2 blocks from P.

Chimbly liberation starts at 530 PM Sunday. Will give me sometime to do some shopping after returning from Seagull... and get tools for Mallet madness (note Home Depot is 12 blocks away).

And we get to see the German Ingenuity ... will we have to met DIN standards**********?

please PSVP w dietary restrictions.

Need a volunteer to get the DVD's

Also a VCR if anyone wants to watch "Deathrace 2000"

will prob need JB Weld...suicide mallets?

1730 Sun sounds good. How 'bout I bring Pirates of the Carribean on DVD? If someone brings a VCR,I've also got Yellowbeard on VHS,which is prolly more in tune with the DC Pirates(Monty Python,dontcha know ).

cow: i don't eat anything in the animal kingdom

also: dvd's? what are we, middle aged? we can play polo late into the night... drinking... pillaging... why sit around watching movies?

Ok, what about stuff from something in the animal kingdom?

re: movies and such. What I really want to see is "red light go" , rest is back ground for whatever, during maintenance and Mallet fabrication. Midnight Polo, absolutely, and those remarks were pretty brazen when there are mallets to be swung.... savy?

will have to reconsider my plans to stay in OC sat night.... for sake of party prep

someone get a hold of Network1 and Sol sinc ethey don't forum

i will contact the wuss people
and bring the beefneck

(as soon as you have the official event name, date, time, and location...)

ps - do y'all think we should set up a dc pirates announcements email list? this forum is great for discussion, but it's a lot to weed through to get date, time, and location for pillages. it may be useful to be able to send just event postings direct via email.

pss-- i don't care what you think. i started the list anyway. subscribe or be out of the loop.
dcpirates-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

oh, if you have emails for fellow pirates, please use the "invite' function to get 'em on the list. it's on the website.

Boogerbike had a good thing going, but we had the word plunder recently.

Chimbly...oop, XO, ops Number 1, no, Lt. for life, please thread accordingly...thank you

Hey, thanks for the ride on Tuesday night. Too bad we missed all the excitement at the end. Our TNS crew pulled 45 miles on the night, so not bad at all. I'll keep an eye on the forums for upcoming rides...

DT

Folks all, just a quick reminder, Will be gettingtogether this Sunday with the goal of ride, drink and making a go at polo. bring your creative ideas on how to make these things. Also google polo mallet and found lots stuff on pro mallets. PM me when you have a chance. Off to seagull century.

Hope to see you on Sunday.

Oohhhh. Polo.

I really need to get my housemates onto some bikes. Perhaps I will try to convince them to come along to watch us be crazy.

Will be there.
