I want to try Curling because... 3 years ago

now that I live in Minnesota I believe I am required by state law to either ice fish or play curling during the winter. Ice fishing involves sitting out on the ice, drinking beer, waiting for the fish. Curling involves standing on the ice, drinking beer, sliding a big heavy stone and sweeping. Screw the fish, I’m going for the rock and broom game.

Additionally Curling is one of those magical sports (along with Ice Hockey, Jai-Alai and Australian Rules Football) that are so bizarre that their very existence proves there is not an Intelligent Designer (or that if there is a God they have a really cool sense of humor).

Add to my To Do List: Try Curling (now where’s my broom).

Cast yer Rocks!

I tried that last winter in Dawson City at the Top Of The World Curling Club. I threw 3 rocks and found that fat aging people with trick knees have no business trying this and should stick with table top shuffleboard! They held a small competition for all of the people that rode their snowmachines across from Tok on that 200 mile each way run. The grand prize was a 5 liter bottle of Crown Royal. I sucked completely but that was OK since I didn’t want to have to carry that 5 liter bottle back to Tok in my back pack for 200 miles! It was still fun though and I got to say I went curling. The down side to curling, it takes special shoes. Or at least a shoe slipper thing that makes your foot slide on the ice while you guide the rock.
