Well, if your rocks were sliding along on bare ice what would you do?

It’s a great sport, that one rule of the last team that got scored on getting last shot adds a lot of great strategy to the game.

Men come up with the silliest games.

Now, most of them involve balls of some sort.....big balls, little balls, round balls, oval balls, brown balls, white balls....

Need I say more??

Curling.... hmmm... I just don’t ... nah. Never mind...

To me, Curling will ALWAYS be the as shown in “Help!” with the Beatles... and that’s that.

“Ticket To Ride”... one of the most excellent songs ever written.

Curling is an affirmative action olympic sport allowing fat and or out of shape people a place in the Olympics.

Why do curlers scream?

Because they tried out for other sports and wound up on the curling team.

Have a Canadian friend. He said THE best places to go are curling bars. he said it’s like a pool hall but with curling. he said when the beer flows awhile, the place goes absolutely berserk. He’s sent me a vid or two. It’s pretty dang funny.

My Sochi Olympics question is about another sport;

Why won't NBS broadcast men's or women's Biathalon? Even when it is on the schedule, they broadcast Curling or just about anything else they can besides a sport that uses a gun. Really? What the hell are they afraid of?

I have tried DVR'ing Biathalon 3 times...sometimes in the wee hours EST but all 3 times, they have gone off their schedule and broadcast something else. I know the men's 15k was pushed back due to fog but NBC never re-broadcast it.

It's p!$$!ing me off.
