To who ever posted this list, yes I agree with practically all of them ( especially No.21 ).
Not sure about the games though, must be something they play in the backwoods of Canada on cold winter nights......Not heard of them over here, unless we know them as something else.

When you know why you stand to attention on Rememberance Day, it just gets harder to do so each year; you make the effort and pay for it all the next week!!

BTW - this happens at 47 as well!!!!!!!
