OMG....I am not sure what it the whackiest with the cheese roll the actual contest or the fact that the award is the cheese wheel that has been rolled around on the dirt and grass all day

Hmm.. not too far away from here is the Pork fest...
You go from bar to bar in some little hick town eating chops, ribs, bbq, anything pork, and getting drunk all day...

But i dont know, this idea of tossing myself down a steep embankment and flopping helplessly to the bottom, and then having the crap beat outta me by a buncha guys has its own appeal.... NOT! silly UKers!

I can't stop laughing. All of my coworkers are coming into my office to find out what the fuss is about but I am laughing to hard to tell them. There are tears streaming down my face. I want to stop but I can't.

The man at the end seemed so proud to have won a dirty nasty wheel of cheese that had been rolled down that muddy hill all day. I changed my mind the prize is the whackiest part of the whole thing.

LOL
well i don't have a video but Nixa has this weird random thing called Sucker Day, they have a parade and everything. its stupid cuz we get out of school for it, but not on president's day...
anyway, you pretty much just watch a bunch of people walk down mainstreet, and then somehow they pick a "winner" of which i have yet to figure out, and she (yes, always a girl) gets $6,000 torwards any college she wants.....
EDIT: sucker as in "sucker fish", not a dumdum
