“So I have a tv at work, for work purposes... I've had it on MSNBC during the Olympics. I'd been making fun of Curling for years, but now that I'm watching it...


I'm really getting into it! Our Men's and Women's teams are doing really well, and there has been some really nail biting games or matches or scrums or whatever they are called”

“You must be drinking at work too!”

“EVERYbody Must Get Stoned!”

“LOL! it does look like more of a bargame than a sport... but hey football season is over!”

“Swinger.... we've had 4 medals in snowboarding... including sweeping all medals in the men's.... your people are ruling

8-)-~”

“did you guys hear that Peekaboo Streets donated $50,ooo to the local hospital for a new intensive care unit? Yeah, they named it after her too...








The Peekaboo ICU!”

“Since we seem to completely suck, at hockey, lately, at least there's something we can do with all of the ice up here, in Canada”

“Funny you say that, but I'm trying to decide whether to go curling this saturday at the Detroit Curling Club. But I'm not sure I want to get that close to the Hog Line. I guess I better "Hurry" up and make my decision.

Oh, and a curling match is called a bonspiel.”

“why thank you Lurker!

LOL at Nigal!

here's a supposedly true story:
Peekaboo's hometown is gonna name a street after her...
I wonder if they are gonna call it Peekaboo Street Street, or Peekaboo, or maybe Peekaboo avenoo, or peekaboo street avenue or what?”

“Swinger, I meant the stoners”

“Where is the Detroit Curling Club, RL? I think there is one close to my house. Not sure if there is more than one or not...”

“Thanks, but no thanks, I don't curl my hair.

Curling is like darts or bowling...well, with a little trotting involved.

I heard there was a bridge competition (inaugural event) in this Olympics...what?...to see who can shuffle the cards fastest?

Since there's no war on T.V...the olympics is the next best thing.

Hodgeman of B.C, the reason we suck at hockey is because the players have no national pride...they've been bought by, or sold to the U.S teams. The Canadian NHL players (The Millionaire's club) have no incentive, if they're not leading they quit. I say let the juniors play...at least they have something to prove. Just my $0.02.”

“"Curling is like darts or bowling..."

it's what we do in between beers!”

“and I don't think there's anything wrong with that! Heck, I think any activity that needs judges to determine the outcome is not a sport. Not that figure skating isn't tough, it is, but if you need someone else other than the competitors to determine the winner it's kinda a problem...”

“I heard on the news that someone is calling for a Special Prosecutor to look into that skating flap. What's Ken Starr been up to lately?”

“I hear he opened up an adult bookstore”

“What would the winter Olympics be without a skating controversy?”

“Wisconsin is a hotbed of curling -- I think it's considered a transferrable skill, so you can slide a 12-pack from one ice shanty to another with precision (meaning you don't hit any tip-ups or drop the beer in an old auger hole).”

“USA curling Vs. Germany now! Gotta watch!”

“The Canadians got Enronned on the pairs skating.

I heard Arthur Anderson did the score tallying.”

“Now, Irish hurling is a real sport. Ever see the clip on the Wild World of Sports where the guy gets slammed in the face with the hurling stick?”

“According the George Carlin three conditions are necessary for an activity to be classified as a 'sport'.

It must be played with a ball.

There must be a chance a participant gets injured.

You must be able to bet on the outcome.”

“US up 8-7 in the 10th!”

“We're moving into the 11th, and the US has last rock!”

“Irish hurling? When I drink too much I can do some serious hurling!! LOL”

“US lost in the 11th inning... friggin' Nazi's!”

“Pathman, you took the words right out of my mouth. I watch a game on the tele when I was over in Ireland and before I left I bought some hurlies and sliotars to bring home and play with.”

“I've done alot of hurling in bars but not much curling”
