Ah, crokinole. I don't know that we necessarily invented it as a passtime per se, but, like curling, we have certainly made it our own. And, like curling, beer consumption is an integral part of the 'game.' :)

Made in Iwaki eh, very nice indeed. A beautiful board. Great pickup Mark, I love it.

Hey, as someone who knows what it means to work on your feet all day long, and the key import of proper footcasings in that role, I trust the word of a man about comfortable shoes.

Crazy comfy, the both of them, and the pair in front are in waxy-ass, buttery-soft pull-up leather. SAS FTW.

Bye bye, toy money.
