African Warrior Polo   (+5, -3)  [vote for, against]
Full-contact polo. On rhinos.

Two teams. One ball. Ninety minutes.

Just imagine: Heavily armored players wielding stainless-steel sticks to knock around one ball, while mounted on rhinos. Anything goes.

Yeah.

As a fan of scantily clad native women, I'm enjoying picturing the cheerleaders.

[Edit: The sticks should be bamboo, or reed of some kind. More crunching and replacement, plus training your rhino to step on the other fellow's mallet, but not yours]

I didn't think rhinos could swim.

I thought this was going to be a little mint with a head-dress.

Benfrost> You know there's actually more than one kind of polo?

Water polo and rhino polo.

Is it possible to domesticate rhinos? If not, this is going to be a very random game. Not necessarily a bad thing.

//Is it possible to domesticate rhinos?//

Sure! They're just like big grey cows. With uhmm.... armor. And an impaling device up front. And without the milking ability.

Actually, I'm not sure about the milking, but I'm pretty sure nobody tried.

"hello, Mrs. rhino, I see you are feeding your fat ugly baby now. Do you mind if I take a little milk for my village?"
