Cheese Rolling

Post by WickedCossack »

It's that time of year again, well if you live in Gloucestershire in the UK :happydance:

The cheese rolling championships ! A big cheese is rolled down a steep hill and the competitors have to run after and catch it. The winner keeps the cheese, obviously.

It's only a matter of time before this becomes a global sport.

Surprisingly only one guy has ever died in the cheese rolling event, back in 2010.

Of course there's tons of injuries every year. Looks fun though.

No. I mean I'd like to, but I don't want to risk breaking anything.

There must be a 50% chance of going home with some kind of injury, look at these muppets. :o

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Yea I think it would also be quite easy to win provided of course you left your brain at the top of the hill.

Pls do it

I am curious to know how this tradition started. Did someone have a gigantic cheese lying around and thought, "Oh wouldn''t it be fun if we rolled after it?"

I wonder if it's Gloucester Cheese. No that's too obvious.
