Today, a two-part article whose only interest seems to be able to make a pun in the title.
Cowboys:
First, the past weekend, we went to see the Cowboys Fringants concert. A real band already well known around here in Quebec and increasingly across the Atlantic. Musically, it sounds festive with rocks and countries. For their part, the texts speak of ecology, everyday life, politics or simply alcoholic binge. It is sometimes funny and filled with slang Quebecers, sometimes nostalgic with beautiful words. In short, it is also another way to experience Quebec culture.
The end of with the song "shooting stars" :
THE game:
The other night, I discovered at a party with colleagues from the lab a marvel that can produce human innovation, a technological jewel, a brilliant concept that only our Canadian friends had. In short, a gem of playful pleasure. The problem is that I have not even thought about request the name of the beast ...
The wonder in question:
And yes, it's kind of football to hockey, table hockey saying. It is played by two teams of two. The rules are simple, we must put the puck into the opposing goal. For this, we can move players through long metal rods. There is one per player, 6 in total. Turn the rod to rotate the player and it pushes or pulls the rod to move forward or backward. There is not much purpose, it is a game that moves slowly for a few seconds to accelerate the time of attack devastating. Moreover, it is soon to oscillate between phases and stages of bellowing concentration. It is very technical, because the handling of players via the rods requires a lot of skill. But it's also very tactical, the passes must be timely and coordinated manner with our teammate. Each player is in constant search of good gesture. It takes a certain nobility to play this game!
In the end, this game certainly a soul. It al'improbabilité curling, the effectiveness of football and the celebration of the alley. In other words, as is the big three, he deserves to appear in charts of the best recreational pleasures invented in this world.
