People have been trying to ban that for years - sounds like this year wasn’t a bad one. People get very badly hurt. There’s a similar event in Glastonbury at easter when they roll eggs down the Tor.
“Heathen festival” though? While technically correct, such a word seems a trifle archaic.
Since the measure of many early civilization’s advancement seems to be measured in part on whether or not they possessed knowledge of the wheel, kinda makes you wonder if for some it didn’t arise as the result of a formidable vat of cheese.
Don’t say it don’t say it don’t say…
Aw screw it.
Behold the power of cheese.
For those without fast connections:
Is that kind of thing good for the cheese? I would think it would get all bruised and squishy.
Won’t someone think of the cheeses!
It’s a hard cheese, encased in wax. Good and solid English fare, what what!
There’s the problem right there. Their so-called ‘Giant Cheeses’ are too small. Something like a 1235-pound, four-foot-high cheese would develop more centrifugal force, and thus be less likely to go haring off into the crowd.
I’ve seen that on one of those video shows. Pure craziness. It is for cheese tho. What Jayn_N said.
