techdif.co.uk - It's the season finale! As the sun sets, we talk about very cold sports; Tom learns he's got weak fingers; and surprisingly, it all ends on a song.

Years ago, I took a quick course in Sami language (not that I remember much because I haven't had a chance to use it since), with some culture thrown in (we watched two films & listened to music), so for me all the mentions of the Sami over the years are more like "well, duh".

I remember once at work, we put on Queen's Made in Heaven, and the song Too Much Love Will Kill You came on. I didn't know it at the time, but it sounded vaguely familiar. I couldn't place it, but I was sure I knew it from somewhere. Anyways, jump ahead to today, I was back rewatching this, and it turns out I knew it from a cheese version sung on this internet game show 6 years ago. Thanks for that

I would certainly like an owl towel, but not if it was From Simon Cowell and certainly not if it was made of actual owls. That would be a very foul towel. Not as foul as a bowel towel though. However, if just an image of the organ was displayed, a bowel towel may be quite a bit more useful to a prospective doctor than an owl towel. One to certainly avoid is the prowl towel, it stalks about and howls and growls, actually that might just be a wolf.

Funny I don't remember ever hearing that event being called the bombdrop, here in eastern Nunavut (Canadian eastern Arctic) we call it airplane or the airplane game. Even though the game predates human flight, the competitor has theto make like a plane, arms, legs, head, and even core, and chest stiff, supporting themselves against gravity. The finger pull was quite wrong, but its not easy to describe in text. There are more games in the AWG, traditional ones like the lip pull, and three different high-kicks, and modern or imported ones like basketball, volleyball, and soccer/football.

There are quite a few native games that we do in here, in Labrador, that aren't mention in the video. Seal/High Kick -> jump, kick a small suspended seal doll, and land on the foot you kicked with. Each round the seal is raised a bit. Highest kick wins. Owl Hop -> hop on one foot as long as you can. If your other foot touches the ground, you're out. Last hopper wins. Bench Reach -> Kneel on the edge of an bench, and someone hold your legs on so you don't fall. Reach out and grab a badminton birdie a meter or so away, and straighten up. Seal Crawl -> it's a race. Competitors line off, laying face down, with their noses on the start line. Cross your legs and "walk" on your hands to the finish, dragging your feet behind you, but your knees can't touch the floor.
