Undertoad · 06-23-2006, 12:35 PM

Mainichi Daily News shows off this collection of an Man vs Elephant world cup images, from an event held in Thailand. Final score: a 3-3 draw, after two 20-minute halves.

Quote:

"It's very difficult," said one player, Kriangsak Nachawee, a university student. "When the elephants had the ball, it was quite risky to attack ... I could end up in a hospital."

Upon seeing the title of this thread, I thought for a moment that it was going to feature a shot of a souvenir drinking vessel from a wildlife park...

That looks like so much damn fun!
I wish there was more space for them to have for themselves worldwide.

Those guys are really bad shavers. I've never seen so many pieces of tissue stuck to faces.
I probably shouldn't judge. Maybe they just don't have access to decent razors.

They were up all night painting the damn elephants, probably. Sheesh, that better be tempera paint.

Duh, that’s not paint. Those are DNA altered Tibetan Congo Rainbow Elephants hand picked for their chameleonic ability to Display National symbols dependent upon the shape and texture of the riders ass.

I think it's an unwritten universal law that you can't ride one with shoes on.

I don't see any officials on the field.....cowards.

I'm ready for the elephants to take on those cheating bastard ants and school them.
