Also, in order to use the ice luge, you have to crouch down in an awkward squat just to take a shot. Apparently nobody has come up with the idea to prop an ice luge up to allow for standing luge runs. And inevitably, the drunkest, heaviest person in the room will saunter on over for a go.

Severe rains have already hit Port-au-Prince, foreshadowing the coming rainy season. St. Leger says her compact shanty gets flooded with water up to her ankles and that one night she was forced to crouch in higher but smaller shelter all night until the rain stopped the next morning.

In that instance, they arrested one man, pressing him into a crouch with a baton behind the neck...
...Mirah tends to fall back onto lovely but less memorable softness. Mirah’s restraint seems set on driving home the pessimism underlying so many of her songs, as when she sings on “The World Is Falling”: “From here we crouch and watch the plunder of the world we built with sweat and love / Why were you not built for wonder? / Why will we never get enough?” Like 2004’s spirited “Jerusalem,” this track addresses the heavy subject of Middle...
