Full Metal Jousting
Any one else watching this show? Saw commercial for it while watching Top Shot and thought I'd see what it was all about.
Sissies need not apply ... this is a sport that needs accuracy, strength and balance as well as some horse sense.

yep, I watch it. Somebody will eventually get killed and that will be the end of that show!
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

LOL. WHY, you ask? Simply because this sport involves the use of weapons (archaic ones, at that!) so the libs and PC crowd will make such a hue and cry that it wil become illegal to engage in jousting. mark my words.

And I will have agree with you ... or the animal rights crowd will start hollering abuse to the horses even though they are covered with armor.
