So, watching the Disney adaptation of this, you kind of feel bad for Ichabod Crane. From what I can recall, he's kind of a lovable dope, right?
Book? Completely different. Ichabod is kind of an aloof d-bag, the new, local school teacher and scaredy cat. Of course, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow is the Headless Horseman, thought to be a deceased Hessian soldier.
After being rebuffed by the chick he thinks is into him, at a dance, and terrified of this story that was told to him, he heads home, and was never seen again, Was it the chick's other suitor who killed him? Was he so embarrassed he just moved?
No one knows, and I kind of dug the ending for leaving it open ended.

Some people slap card too hard
Picked this up for my daughter. It is like Slap Jack, but you have to repeat taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza in order as each player flips a card. If you flip the card that matches your word, everyone slaps the card pile, with the last person slapping taking the card pile. There are three action cards that require you to complete an action before you can slap the card. We had a lot of fun playing it for family game night, though our hands were all a little sore by the time we called it quits.
