Now, there's a sport that's after my heart. There's probably a point to the game since it's played in the Olympics, but I see it as nothing less than a monumental waste of time. It's dumber than TV golf.

 

I want to know where they get those ice walking shoes.

 

Arctic shuffleboard -- what could be better? I bet the folks who do like it have the same low opinion of Nascar.

 

At least NASCAR has ear-splitting sounds along with fiery crashes and death. What does Curling have besides boredom? Watching Curling is like watching the ice melt in your Coke.

 

Brooms. Universal appeal to clean-freaks everywhere![sm=happy046.gif]

 

Yea, that's the part that seems so funny to me- those blokes sweeping fereishly with their brooms. I can imagine when the sport(?) was developing on the frozen ponds and rivers of wherever, someone said, "let's create a postion for mom and make this a family activity."

 

Hey I like watching the ice melt in my Coke.

 

Those things that slide on the ice are called stones or rocks... something like that. Can you imagine one careening off the ice (playing surface?) and heading towards the audience? Some unsuspecting fan is standing in the wrong place and gets his toe stubbed by the rock. Oh! The Humanity!

 

And the players have no helmuts or mouth guards. Very brave. A boom handle accident would be...uncomfortable. It's like watching slow motion bowling with defense strategy.

Now Skeleton, there's a brave person's sport. 77mph face first on a sled! Ye ha!

 

Imagine a member of the opposing team standing on the opposite end of the ice. That player loses a contact lens on the ice surface just as a rock is let loose. The lens could be located before the rock gets near them.
