Mike has a post up in his blog with a lady walking on slippery ice. it is a beautiful image.
That brought to mind a video that I saw recently which should amuse Mike and my other readers. I wish that I could understand Japanese but even without being able to I enjoyed the show. I hope you do too.
I saw that video of the game show too! I don’t even recall now how I came across it. but I couldn’t stop watching it! you would think their bare feet and hands would be freezing. they just kept on trying.

You simply could not turn off the video of the attempts. Amazing!
Hard to imagine anything more frustrating than trying to climb a virtually un-climbable staircase! They must be gluttons for punishment. Did they get paid for their exertions, I wonder?
I would imagine that they would be professional actors for TV shows.
That’s painful — in more ways than one!

Mike, you can see a number of videos on Youtube like this one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRLQJMCOCx8
Hilarious. They even go gaga over rock, paper, scissors LOLÀ

Apart from enjoying the video, the effort brought back memories of my falling down on more than a few occasions during my visits to Europe in the winters.
wow! I wonder if that had anything to do with the need for hip replacements later. ice is a very dangerous thing!

No, the falls were all post replacement. They were due to a combination of factors. Cold, sleet, and slippery footing.
definitely hlarious – must have been a great prize if you made it…. looks like only ONE prize – hence the argument that led to both “falling”…how fabulous
Reminded me of many falls that I have had too Cathy.
I too have “specialised in falls” usually when my ankles gave one on a dip in the ground, a lip on a path etc – not so bad of recent years but still not the toes of all shoes a bit munted….
I had seen that too. It reminds me of the myth of Sisyphus. Presumably the winner here would get a prize, though? And they wouldn’t have to do it for all eternity.

Talking about Sisyphus, you will find this quite interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naranath_Bhranthan
