      That’s a pole. Polio is a porridge-like dish made from maize. Not grits, the other one.

        I’m pretty sure you’re thinking of polenta. Polio was a French mathematician from the late 1800s.

      You’ve never been to Alabama, have you?

            No, but once a year they do that thing where they try to hit a suspended ring with a stick from horseback. Like the training montage of A Knight’s Tale.

              Seems like the sort of thing that would leave some people parallelized.

                It’s not like they just let everyone have a tilt lol. Like polo, people with the proper training do it as a traditional entertaining of the masses 😄

            They do, actually. The water variety. Don’t get any of it in your mouth, though. How may get the runs.
