Apparently tomorrow night, "Canada clashes with Norway in curling".

Ummm...I'm not a curling expert, but have seen it in the Olympics
before...shouldn't that be something like "Canada bumps into Norway in
curling"?

Or maybe "Norway brushes with Canada", or "Canada slides and collides with
Norway"?

Maybe the announcer has never seen curling. Seems to me "clashing" would be
the one move guaranteed to lose the match.

I didn't know you could body check in curling. And why don't the goalies
wear padding?

And really, how bad could a 42lb piece of rock hurt sliding 0.01 miles an
hour on ice? ;-)

I think you have it backwards. Hockey is curly divided by pi, with the
bristles removed from the brushes.

First time I paid attention to curling was when it was featured in
either Help or Hard Days Night (I forget which one had the curling going on)
I figured once they showed that on TV the world would be so bored that it
would be against the law to submit an audience to it ever again...........I
feel the same way about golf.

The finest skill in Curling, is the ability to be able to stand on a
sheet of ice after consuming several jugs of beer... makes you wonder
how the Olympic curlers get past the drug screenings... ;-)

I can relate to it because I used to be somewhat of a champoin level
shuffleboard player (the bar variety).......but I'm into the *speed of light
followed by a dead stop* thing when it comes to removing someone's piece
from the board. My skill was directly proportional to my level of
intoxication (more intoxication leading to being better at shuffleboard).
Funny, seems that shuffleboard wasn't the only thing tht was positively
affe3cted by drinking. When I turned 40, I decided to give it up and shortly
thereafter I developed allergies to everything that grew in Austin, my hair
started thinning and my vision went south.

;oP

"And why don't the goalies wear padding?"...no lifting in curling.

"I think you have it backwards."...you've been taking to my wife
haven't you.
