The games of the super rich

 Hi All, 

The early years of the 2120s, the roaring 20s where full employment, home ownership and general living standards went stratospheric for the 95% as well as the 5%. One of the few times in history that the ultra rich would unashamedly splash their cash and be in a race to showcase this wealth with every more extravagant displays of wealth, without having guilt mongers attack them at every stage or face populist outrage for doing so (except the far left, but that's them all the time -jealous and continually devising ways to make everyone as poor as possible so they can achieve their equality for all paradise). 

If the 'little people' were getting a money shower from the trickle down theory, the super rich were getting a Niagara Falls worth of it: from' Portal Mansions' to Star Yachts, to owning popular  sports clubs, Aerospace Bentleys, fine and modern art and eating black Rhino steaks, to life longevity,  whatever they desired money bought them.

It was in terms of sport that the super rich enjoyed showing off their money, for example: 

Portal  One : Akin to F1, except this race takes place on land, air and space, across planets and sometimes various solar systems. There are multiple Grand Prix throughout the year, the most famous one being the Grand Prix of Mercury, where the race starts, covers the entire solar system, through to the 3 stars of Alpha Centuari and finishing on the ocean planet Mu, some 708 light years away. 

Zero gravity bowls : Bowling , but in zero gravity. 

Anklo Croquet :  Croquet played on the back of an Ankylosaurus, with the 'ball' being a dense ball of liquid mantellic hydrogen and the stick being the Ankylosaurus tail .

T- Rex Polo : Polo, but instead of horses substitute a T-Rex and much larger sticks and balls. 

Water Jousting : Similar to medieval jousting, except  using 'laser lances' , it is under water and rather than a horse, you must have a choice of a  plesiosaurus or great white shark. If you are hyper rich and can afford it you can have a mosasaurus or a megalodon .

Land Jousting : Similar to medieval jousting, except using 'laser lances'  and  you have a choice of mount, being T-Rex or Triceratops. If you are  super super rich you can find all sorts of different combinations , e.g. Saber Toothed Tiger vs modern Tiger , or Woolly Mammoth vs African Elephant .

 Hi All, Much to my delight I have learned something new today and that is that Cloud Cocko Land was first thought up by the ancient Greeks,...
