Show Off Your Games!

Found this quite a few pages back (about 500) and thought I'd bring it back up.

Game roosters always make me think of the Celtic warriors that fought Julius Ceasar. They would make oaths that they would kill a certain number of men before they retreated. They would tie a rope to their ankle and a stake and run forward onto the field of battle and drive the stake in the ground. There they would stand until they killed the number of men they pledged or died. Once fulfilling the oath they would "pull up stakes" and retreat. It is from this that the phrase "stake my life on it" came. Only game birds almost never pull up stakes. It is all or nothing for them.
