| In a week when a patriotic fugitive on the run for 16 years was captured after returning to Italy to watch the Olympics, when a python was discovered in a Thai family’s toaster, when a swimmer who lost his prosthetic leg 10 months prior was reunited after it washed ashore, when a runaway emu led police on a 2-mile chase in the UK, when a boxer’s hairpiece flew off while boxing in the ring, and when a deer wandered into a Colorado hospital waiting room, we’re still talking games here at Meeple Mountain. |
