Wow, what a mallet smashing good time!

Rince, great idea with mallet fabrication, you crazy Germans!

Did we get any pictures of the endo's and headon's?

EmMw, the toilet cleared this morning, you're off the hook.....
please email or burn me a CD of all pix!

yarrr! it was great. I hope you all are recovering well, i'm bruised

I can't move I am so stiff, but what a good time. Thanks again Poopncow for the drink and food.

Oh, my sweet, sweet knees. I am limping.

Thanks for the ride home, p'n'c. Much, much appreciated.

And now we've got some pictures!

the entire set is here

Its amazing that no one endo'ed into the fountain! Or maybe Chimbly did and we just didn't see it.
What an initiation for L, first the stairs, then the endo against (but not into) the fountain and then deciding to out run the pack on the way back! Was it L or EmmW that commented on the literary significance of the night?

That was me. Sometimes I do that.

(The literary significance meaning that getting together with some friends and eating food and drinking quality malt beverages and putting together mallets from random stuff and then playing drunken bike polo is the kind of stuff that people write novels about, and there we were, doing it. And that's pretty ****ing cool, being young and reckless and wild and enjoying everything.)

...and Sasquatch was eating a burrito.

WT.... are you rattle canning in an enclosed space again?

The Frederick Burrito Bandit's are issuing a challenge to the DC Pirates. you choose the events, we choose the location.

We will lose, but we'll be better fed.

rockville is kind of in between DC and Frederick...

ahem, WE'LL choose location. JERK!

i know i'm late on this. sorry, had to work yesterday.

y'all, i had a lovely time on Sunday. I don't remember winners or losers or even what the hell happened to those chain reaction kids, but i do know it was somewhat magical. i'm still finding bruises in strange places (on my upper back?) but i had a mad good time. bliss.

so... i proposed a halloween idea above... lemme know what you think, or plan something else, i don't care.

I like the Halloween idea of yours....

I liked your idea chimbly, but i'm not sure i can make it, the rest of october i'm pretty busy with work, maybe i can meet up towards the end of a pillage, or midway if it passes Georgetown/Arlington.

Tink suggested we try bike polo next time on little 16" kids bikes (from chain reaction), i think training wheel(s) would be fun/useful too on bikes that small.

oh and if anyone talks to network1 regularly, chimbly?, let us know how he is or if he needs anything.

if by "network1" you mean Ben, who never comes to the forum...
he got in an accident on the way to the polo field. his glasses sliced open his face, sending him in a cab to GW hospital for 8 stitches. he's doing ok, but could use a little cheering up. perhaps a mid-week drinking meetup?

yeah i saw him afterwards, but was curious how his recovery is going. yeah mid-week could be good.

important:
seems we're missing a polo mallet. we're down to 5.

did anyone take one home with them after the funness on sunday??

No worries! p'n'cow has some of that tube left (RIGHT?!?) and I have some more clubs...

three cheers for Rincewind's engineering marvels!
huzzah for our mallets!

yes yes three cheers for Rincewind.
our newly appointed "chief engineer forever"
his design proved more than adaquate for the evening (and likely another!)

I really want to play again sometime soon.
Next Saturday (22nd) ??

I would be more inclined to play again on a week night.

Game? Sure, anytime !

There is about 5 ft of PVC material (enough for 8 mallets!) left. I was intending to make a Burrito launcher out of it to use on the Frederick crowd.

Go ahead, launch burrito's at us, WE'LL EAT THEM!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA VICTORY WILL BE OURS!!!!

I had a thought of a bike Tug-Of-War...... And how many beers you can chug while one hand track standing... but as I said the games are your call, but please remember we are at most 6 strong.
