No Curling?

I hesitate to mention this, Fred. I curled for several years, enjoyed it very much but never watch it on TV not even the Olympics. Sometimes I wonder why!

Ok, I give up.... why?

he heh

Wife and I had never watched more than a 10-20 second highlight cut from a Curling match, before the Olympics.

The last 2 weeks we have been scouring the channel listings to watch as much of it as we could. Amazing how the advantage can swing back and forth so wildly during one end's play. Almost any rock can turn the whole thing around.

By the by....

You have to rent the greatest Curling movie ever!

Enjoy,
Fred

Well, I did think about it and I think it has to do with the shouting, the endless sweeping and the memories of cold damp arenas. I do agree with you that the planning and strategy make curling a more interesting game than bowling, for example, which I don't care for at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Men with Brooms". (viewed it three times!) Great spoof!

Watching the closing ceremonies last night the thought crossed my mind that Paul Gross should have been included portraying either a Mountie (Due South) or a Canuck curler!
