In Estonia, they play ice cricket.
This is apparently pretty much like cricket, except played on ice (“directly on the ice, no mat is laid down”), so that “the results are a little more unpredictable and provide more fun and variety”.
This is obviously the most important rule of ice cricket:
If you hit either a wild Moose or a cross country skier, an extra 6 runs is added to your score.
It is not mentioned if it makes a difference whether or not the moose is being used as a curling stone at the time.
What? An entire DAY passes without so much as a comment? As the resident ungulate I am shocked at this lapse in manners.
FOR THE RECORD, since you American types are clearly unschooled in the customs of True Northern folk, only domesticated moose are normally used as curling stones, ergo the point is moot.
If a wild moose is on cross-country skis, however, the rule stands. Or possibly wobbles if the moose happens to be on a slope.
The wonderous moose. Both sports accessory and food.
Mythbusters once ran over a moose. Several times, at varying rate of speed.
OK, it was a FAUX moose, but still….
I couldn’t see if my sister’s initials were carved on it….
