		<title>Elephant Polo and other strange things</title>

		&lt;a href="http://www.screwmaids.com/polo/97/dec7th.html"&gt;Elephant Polo.&lt;/a&gt; Alf Leif Erickson is the Captain of the American Screw Tuskers Elephant Polo team .  Alf is a retired attorney and former law professor from Florida. This alone doesn&apos;t make much of a post, but, you guessed it, there more, sometimes NSFW, inside..... It seems that Alf retired to Bangkok and maintains a site called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/findex.html&quot;&gt;&quot;Alf&apos;s Balloons&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, with a focus on, well, balloons, and of course corkscrews, and elephant polo.

Alf&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/polo/03/screwless03.html&quot;&gt;elephant polo team&lt;/a&gt; seems to consist entirely of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/polo/04/slate.html&quot;&gt;transexuals&lt;/a&gt; &lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;(the riders, that is, not the elephants)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;.

Don&apos;t let the somewhat odd nature of the polo team throw you, because it doesn&apos;t really get strange (and, by the way, NSFW) until you begin to explore the inner workings of Alf&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/cork/&quot;&gt;PatPong Corkscrew Club&lt;/a&gt;.  This is no casual club, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/01/12/2bkk/part3.html&quot;&gt;annual meetings &lt;/a&gt;are held, and the club, like, I assume, all corkscrew clubs, of course, its &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corkscrewballoon.com/balloon/cb4/inf.html&quot;&gt;own balloon&lt;/a&gt; and meetings where the members sit naked on Alf&apos;s lap.

Spend some time exploring Alf&apos;s world. </description>

		&lt;a href="http://www.laguiole.com/champagnesaber.htm"&gt;The dramatic way to open champagne.&lt;/a&gt; Have you used or seen someone use a champagne saber? Amazing that the bottle neck doesn&apos;t shatter around the edges. I tried looking on Google for some lore and description but found nothing.  </description>
