2007 Cheese Rolling at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire

In the event (above), which took place on May 28th of this year, a Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down the hill following which an "annual festival of nutters" throw themselves after it in hot pursuit with the winner getting the cheese.

Seems like the sort of thing Skipweasel'd be quite competitive at, don't you think?

Comments

This seems similar to a contest held in some obscure region in which an anesthesiologist is rolled down a quite steep but beautifully landscaped hill -- winding past bosky dell and sylvan glade -- to be followed by the rolling pack of screaming contestants.

The precise object of the game is unclear, but the "winner" gets to keep the anesthesiologist, although most just swap it for batteries or alarm clocks, or cheese.
