Curling...best sport ever?

Curling is the butt of everyone's winter olympics jokes, including mine... until today. I just spent the last 15 minutes watching a curling match between the US and Finland. Man those Finns are tough sons of bitches, and not just cause they curl like some mutherfuckers. They fucking beat the socks off the Soviets too... and while doing so gave birth to the great Alpine Sniper winter olympics sport, the biathalon.

Anyway, I was thouroughly entertained by this curling thing. It was great. What a great bar game... I could totally see myself watching people in the bar, or outside rather, curl over a nice pitcher or something. It just amazes me how one's climate really affects one's cultural standards... I mean, I have seen snow somewhere between 5-10 times, so obviously winter sports are sort of lost on me. However, if I had been born someplace where 3 out of the 12 months it is so cold you can't even really go outside without harming yourself, then I would have totally loved this shit, instead of swimming and baseball.

So folks, I must say that I was really wrong about curling and I highly recommend that everyone check out a match before this whole winter 2006 game is done. It is quite entertaining and really, I can see it taking off if marketed as a bar game, in the way of darts, pool, and GoldenTee3000 or whatever the hell that golf game is called.
