In the short period between the shutdown of professional sports and the state mandated shutdown of nonessential businesses, a favorite bar needed something to show on its TV screens and they put up marble races from YouTube.

I watched the first season for a half hour this morning. It is strangely compelling. A lot of credit to the announcer (maybe he can do the Jeopardy gig).
