The only good thing about Logan from "Gilmore Girls" is a remark that he made about the Gloucester cheese rolling festival. I started wondering if this event actually existed, because who doesn't like cheese? So I hit wikipedia & I found out that yes, there is a cheese rolling festival.
The way the festival works is that a round wheel of cheese is rolled down a hill. Competitors then run down the hill, trying to catch the cheese which is quite a feat considering the cheese can go up to 70 miles an hour, & the cheese has a one second head start. The first person to reach the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. Talk about pay for performance. There are usually injuries that are incurred from broken bones to concussions. The cheese rolling contest can be best described by this quote:
twenty young men chase a cheese off a cliff and tumble 200 yards to the bottom, where they are scraped up by paramedics and packed off to hospital
