Not content to just provide spurious titles for posts, I feel a need to offer content that interests more than the gadget-loving males who currently frequent these pages (and if you are not a gadget-loving male, what the hell are you doing here?).
I am afforded an opportunity by my attendance at the infamous Kai Yang polo trophy match. The trophy itself is a construct of rare beauty. A rubber chicken was acquired, a pole was stuck up its backside, and a local chrome shop was told to “chrome this”. And they did:

The winner of this magnificent trophy is the team that loses the tournament; so there is considerable incentive not to come last.
A lighthearted event then, and the ladies who own the club decided to lighten things up even further, if only for themselves, by deciding that a team of Argentinian gauchos should play without shirts. The pathetic excuse was that the official shirts had not arrived, although the real reason is that ladies apparently like looking at shirtless gauchos on horseback. How shallow, you wouldn’t catch us men enjoying watching women with minimal clothing, not if our wives were around anyway.
So, for all the ladies out there, and any gentlemen that might be so inclined, here you go:

Interestingly, this gentleman has a torso very similar to mine; we must use the same training methods.
OK, that’s enough of that sort of thing; tomorrow a post about how to rebuild a gearbox.

2011-03-26| Sid saysThats a far classier trophy than yer standard wooden spoon!!!
2011-03-27| Spike saysGood question. Standard manual of course. Synchromesh is for gays, and automatics are for people who enjoy looking at pictures of semi-naked men on horseback.
2011-03-27| Barry saysThese comments are almost as good as the article. Better, in fact. Except this one.
2011-03-28| Spike saysI thought yours was the best; or at least better than this one.
