I've seen some odd #### in my time. I watched the World Cup of Cup Stacking, The Grand Championship of Rock, Paper, Scissors and even some underground Russian Slap Fighting but this?

Of course, it had to be German because in no other country would a shopping cart actually go straight.

Try that with a Canadian Shopping cart! Now there would be a challenge! Park some cars around it!

Its something about the Europeans though. I spent today at an English football game - 40k people screamed for 2 hours straight. The game was a zero-zero tie with each team having 3 shots on the goal.

Competitive tag is engrossing.

When we were over in the UK last year we were trying to find a darts event to go to, specifically because the crowd atmosphere on TV looks so amazingly fun. You're hearing it more and more, from WWE fans to music fans, about just how significantly better crowds in Europe are than North America.

Oh yeah, the crowd was easily the best part. They were yelling and chanting, throwing their arms in the air, and then one corner was all opposing fans and they had dueling chants. Atmosphere was unreal. But as a sporting event it was pretty slow, imo. There were lots of "left back passes to right back, right back passes to left back who is tentatively challenged, then passes back to the goal keeper" type stuff.
