Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling!

This is one of the most in-fucking-sane things I have ever seen. It's up there with the Log Ride Festivel in Japan, or the Running of the Bulls in Spain. It's just crazy! And these kind of events have been happening for hundreds of years. Is this some way of celebrating life by defying death?

I have to admit there is a small part of me that wants to go see these things live and photograph them.

The official Cheese Rolling site can be viewed HERE.

May I bring your attention to the Omak Suicide Race? Of course, it's the horses that die, not the humans...

But that's okay. It's been a "tradition" since 1935, invented by a white furniture salesman.
