Canadian Ice Bowling

[captain_slinky]

Have i mentioned lately just how much I *LOVE* watching Curling on TV?

It started out as a necessity for a poor fat kid who only had 4 channels and parents who slept off their drunk till noon back in the 80's... then it evolved in to a sarcastic admiration during my early 20's... and now it's a full-fledged love of the sport. Like, it is the ONLY sport that I will CHOOSE to watch on any given day.

I love that even in The Finals, you're lucky if half the seats in the arena are filled.

I love that the sport is *so laid back*, you can hear the competitors talking to each other on the ice and sharing strategy with their opponents.

I love that, juts like with Professional Bowling, you can almost hear the arcade games in the background and some kids begging their parents for more quarters.

Just got over. On channel 115 (Comcast Cable), it was the Womens Semi-Finals. I would have notified you, but I myself only caught the final 10 minutes of it :(

On a side note, I would totally pay GOOD AMERICAN MONEY for a "Lovely Ladies of Canadian Curling" nudie calendar!

Actually, I have one of those. ;) It's not just Canadian women, and they publish it ever year. It's women curlers from around the world. Let me see if I can find the link. Mine is from two years ago.

Here it is. It's sold out - duh - but you can see the cover by scrolling down, on the left-hand side about halfway:

Usually when I am sick and on medication, I can not achieve male arousal.

However, right now I have a Boner. THANK YOU!

I now know what to ask for next Xmas :)

I like curling because it is one of those sports I sit back and think "I may not be able to play basketball or baseball, but I think I could handle that broom like a pro.

It's surprisingly a lot of fun to play, too. :)
