Curling

I probably agree. Way too futzy with the assembled judges.. At the same time, I used to be interested in expertise, the fine points.

This is a sport?

An olympic sport?

you're havin me on?

All in all, I'd consider it a game, rather than a sport, as Robert suggested. Good definition.

I know what curling is hawk. i'm just pulling your leg.

i hang out for the winter olympics cause its the only time i get to see it.

For all you wannabee armchair curlers out there



A practice board (crokinole).

Me neither. I just don't really get into sports all that much, really.
I appreciate the determination and the energy dedicated to sports, but I do not wish to partake in them.
I'd like to keep my bones in one piece, thank you very much.

sweeping in..

Pipers just piped in TEAM GB... cheering for the British fellas!

sweeping out...

I'm into curling...ehm
well...more to the point, Cheryl Bernard

My son has the biggest crush on Benard, I've been razzing him all night. At the moment, we are bidding on tickets for tomorrow's women curling semis. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. Go Canada.

Canada needs this OOHHHHMMMMM.
I want to build a curling alley (or whatever we call the curling places)

Still confused over the phyla, FM. [Just kiddin'] It's a curling rink. Same as hockey/skating rink and the kids who used to clean the ice before the advent of those fancy zambonis were rink rats.

The accumulated snow was shoveled into a slush pond that was behind a section of the boards. Then the head rink rat/caretaker would flood the ice surface with a hose, and we all had to stay off the ice til it was set.

Mumpad said i'm an excellent curler.

Toe curler that is.


She should take her pantyhose off first.

As a Canadian Bob Dylan said it best:

But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Yeah, Cdn mens!!

Yeah, Cdn womens too!!

OMG! I don't know how you can't find this exciting.
I was at the women semi's yesterday. The crowd was electric.
Today, I'm watching the women's finals. It's the 9th end. The swedes have the hammer. The king, gueen, prime minister, and premier are in the stands. Canada's leading 5-4. This is tense. I hope you're all enjoying it as much as me. wooo.... the rock is almost, just behind the guard.

by the by... the pregnant canadian is an alternate, she only played at few ends just to say she'd played.. very canadian thing to do.
The intensity is palatable. Go Canada!

You sure you're talking about curling? Palpable intensity?

Are you watching the same game I am? We have the hammer in overtime, I'm on the edge of my seat.

damn!
but silver is good.
