He almost flattened the Fink.

You didn’t win, either!

At least Sit Rodney the Chicken-Hearted was wearing his helmet. Wouldn’t want to go to Concussion City.

@Llewellenbruce…would anyone have noticed if he had?

Surely, you joust.

An exceptionally flexible lance, I’d say.

and, he got the bronze medal in pole vaulting

You can’t use a horse in pole vaulting. Disqualified!

@Grog - His name’s not Shirley! (someone had to say it)

For single guys, those knights just fly by.

‘joust” missed rodney

okay go back to your business, nothing to see here

RTN

technically, he DID lose. a knight who was “unhorsed” in a joust was the loser. the whole object was to knock your opponent off his horse. (quick Joe-Allen impression)

Not bad yyyguy, but a little too brief.

Grog Don’t call me “Shirley”

You can in polo-vaulting, Lilolover

dropping.beans, Digital Frog beat you to the punch.

Landing on his nose saved him.

Its a tie. we’ll need a tie breaker to decide

yyyguy, to get even more technical, Rodney wasn’t unhorsed, he lost his horse. Now if the other guy had actually hit him…

(Of course, if there was a rule in the playbook that said simply falling off your horse meant you forfeited the match, I withdraw my comment.)
