Polo Pirates Play HarARRRRdcore't

You play polo in your basement till you have blisters on your mallet hand....

Thanx emerson you just saved me a packet switchin the forks, Christine Lives MACHINE

When you shave your back so your fan (singular) can concentrate more on your game than on your lack of upper body waxing skilz MACHINE

You spend 4 hours clearing snow and ice so that you can play polo for the remaining 3 hours of sunlight.

You read the cached on google while the site is down.

your gf makes you decide between polo and her, you know the answer right?

you loose one afternoon on the forums

your wrist makes clik everytime you turn it and you actually like it!

you spend too much on your next polo bike built, and when you are about to finish it you start to think in other possibilities...

I guess some of them are repeated, but still true :)

my apologies

...you can recognize the polo courts of cities you've never even been to, just by glancing at a thumbnail image.

You spend 10 minutes looking around for the best thread to post this:

Yesterday at church, I was checking to see if the player's were ready to joust and noticed that there were 4 women on the court and only 2 men. Fuck yes. Here's to more women, more often.

This may happen a lot in other cities but just wanted to share this particular milestone.

when you spend the last four days thinking about what to write on this thread and the best you could come up with is this........

when you harass your friends for not playing polo...

when all of the parts you're looking for are for your polo bike

Dear dog, I had mad crazy polo dreams last night.

Bunch of people in a strange house. Someone left their cocaine out so a beat cop saw it sitting on a windowsill. Someone lost a cornea and had to be helicoptered out. We left he courts to play on grass because of the ambulance. Lots of frustrated feelings like I was trying to herd cats over something to do with cooking food in the strange house.

I could go on. Very vivid dream.

enough said :)

when your shitty cell phone starts finally recognizing "polo" before "solo" when you use predictive text.

when you are late for a polo partey and you piss in a water bottle in the car and though it out and get it all over you

When you have operatives that work at the Salvation Army and they send you photos like this.

Missing polo feels like cheating.

...you risk it all everytime you post something on this website... FUCK YOU DOUG D!
YOU STOLE THE SWEATSHIRT didnt you?

...when you get fired from your job because of polo.
Was this mentioned? Truck where you at?

You ride your polo bike everywhere (mallets attached) because there's a possibility that you might be playing polo later.

you know polo is in yer blood when after lights out u are trying to see how u can break in to the light box and turn on so u can drink more beer and play more polo and listen to pieter yak about how pilly hockey are a bunch of losers ya more polo less peter

...you've been home only 2 months since last october and played in 8 different countries

...you have the following conversation with your girlfriend, who lives 300 miles away:

GF - "Who's going to take care of the cats when your visiting me this weekend?"
Me - "This guy Kayce."
GF - "Who's he? I haven't met him. Is he responsible and sober and friendly and nice to animals?"
Me - "Relax, baby. He's a polo player, he's good people."
GF - "..."

... you take a 45 minute detour just to ride by the court after work at two thirty in the morning, just to see how it's doing.

you drive at least an hour just to get to polo.
i work in Riverside, and drive to the NoHo courts in Hollywood.
:)
or brave nasty downtown LA (near the Staples Center aka Fashion District) at night to go play polo in a fucked up parking lot.

..you make the final decision on moving based on the amount of polo played in the new city and whether they travel
..you look forward to seasonal unemployment as a means and excuse to polovaction
..your sundays are spent 40minutes to over an hour out of town in order to play even more polo with more people

there was no polo because everyone was away for the long weekend, so instead you weeded and swept the courts.

You quit your job, move out of your house and spend ALL the money you've ever had to travel europe with your polo bike, see every city on your polo gear and then fly to NA and do the same again!

when you find yourself at the court solo...drinking a 40 in between imaginary games that you just destroyed it on at 930am.......

...you wish your mum played polo too...

Played on 4 separate occasions in 3 days, resulting in dead skin spots where i grip the mallet. Then went the next day and picked up some lacrosse gloves from play it again, picked up some more balls for polo, and some hockey tape for the mallet.
I've also now got my brother involved in the local pick-up group in norfolk and he wants a better polo rig (he is running a full suspension 24" mtn bike with the springs tensioned at max; time to upgrade). He's pretty pumped about it.
And working with the 4 polo clubs in virginia that i communicate with/play with to get some virginia group play in richmond going. And to think all my energy could be going to finding a job right now.

you switch all your clients to later in the week coz it's Monday and it's either work all day, then 20 loads of washing this evening or washing all day then a nite of polo and party ;-)

you play with an injury like this

When you think that's a good news when your teamate announce you that he have a love affair with your sister, because you were thinking that the announcement was about quiting the team.
When you play 3 times per week like 6 hours per training since one year, and can't cancel a training when your monthly meeting with your cycling association is fixed on this polo day...

When you lie to friends and family about visiting when all you want to really do is play polo. Madison! I will be out late spring/early summer!

you name your new puppy "Joust"

You get hit by a car on your way to go play polo, instead of going to the Hospital, you go home and get a different bike to play on.

You get seasonal depression so you buy a plane ticket to Hawaii to play polo in paradise instead of Oregons cold winter...Yeah Corvallis we stole Eilif for 3 months

you drag race the cars when taking off at every set of lights and tell yourself it's jousting practice.

You can no longer go to bed with out reading all the updates on LOBP..... then when you do go to bed you lay there all FUCKING NIGHT thinking about organizing your tourney and what can be done better and so on!!
