A boy can dream. A boy can dream a dream of skittles reinventing the lives of Canadians from coast to coast, becoming a new bond amongst our fractured regions, gathering families in new stadia and around the TV for Tuesday Night Northamptonshire Skittles in Canada broadcast on One, the TV network previously unwatched prior to the canny licensing deal that got them broadcast and swag rights throughout the land.
Why? It is played with "cheeses," of course:
For each turn a player throws three cheeses at the skittles which start standing in the classic diamond pattern. If all the skittles are toppled after the first or second throws, they are reset so that the maximum theoretical score in one turn is 27 points. The cushioned side walls are critical - the cheese needs to be bounced off them in order to clear the skittles in certain situations. In some places, it is also legal to bounce the cheese of the rear hood as well. In most versions, the toppled skittles are left where they lie. However, some areas in Leicestershire and Rutland remove dead skittles before each new throw.Down with Rutland! Play the dead tailors, I say!!! And click the picture for the truth...it's already branded for league play. Every one of you would lose to me, by the way.
