When I heard that there was a spot called "Auto Polo" I thought, Now that's an awesome way to spend an afternoon. After I broke my leg, though, my days of dreaming of a revival of this game got shelved:
Places and times that had cool games like car polo also had other cool shit going on, like big cylinders with motorcycles and autos driving horizontal along the walls.
How can we make a motorcycle driving along the inside of a cylinder even more exciting?
Staff a sidecar with a lion. Ethel Purtle and the King, baby! Now here's a spectator activity I'd thoroughly enjoy.
The last two old-timey black and white pictures are from WWII. The first is a shot of the D-Day invasion after the beachhead was taken and the people and equipment started getting offloaded. It looks like a video game still, like it's too fake to be real, but it isn't, it's all reality:
Another thing about WWII pictures is that you'll find things that are so spectacular that if you were to use it during an action movie, the audience would believe that the explosion or whatever would be solely the work of the special effects team, because war can't be like that. Until you see the pictures from the aerial dogfights.
Spectacular...
