"They Just Can't Get the Rock in the Right Spot."
I'm watching curling right now: USA vs Canada. I've never seen anything more incomprehensible...or hilarious. Listening to the guys talk 'aboot' their next move is like eavesdropping on a scene from "Fargo". But...
Go USA!!...anyhoo, okey dokey?
And to completely lower the tone ~ those chunks o' granite aren't the only hunks on that ice...
Gah-rrrrowlll...

You're watching curling? That's so... Canadian.

CANADIAN?! What?! So the letters on their studly chests stand for "U Stoopid Anglo"?

Yes. But I was actually referring to watching it.

I found out there was a curling training center right here in central jersey. I may have to check it out.

Ken's just jealous because curling doesn't include goats.

I see you avoided the most common question my wife and I asked each other, as we sat transfixed several times this week watching the curling (both men's and women's). That is, "How are they scoring this?" It was like a cricket match, only with ice and fewer players. But entertaining, YES!

A warm Swill welcome, Mike! And all that shouting they do for something so slloowwwww...you're right. Transfixed is the word ~ you can't look away. "What are they doing? Why is that bad?" Great fun!
