I've watched curling on television. I'm thinking some of the viewing was Olympic events, and maybe on the old ABC Wide World of Sports. It looks like it can be fun, and the closest thing I've ever done that is similar is "corn hole", which is played with bean bags, and slanted boards with holes, although it's much warmer of a game, brooms aren't allowed, and there's little danger of falling on ice.
From what little snippets of news I've seen, there is some type of alleged cheating in the Olympics by curlers. I'm not sure what the cheating involves (And I'm not really that interested to research the articles), but the best solution is to have them fight it out. Let them brawl on the ice, serve beer to the spectators, and give the winners a banquet. Serve smoked brisket, potato salad, ranch style beans, and coleslaw. Invite the losers, and nobody give them a hard time.
I have been watching .
ReplyDeleteI've watched it before. It's better than watching figure skating.
DeleteCurling is a mix of bowling, shuffleboard and housekeeping.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to research the sport to determine the sweeping part. It sure seems like a lot of work, and doesn't seem to make a difference.
DeleteA great idea! It would be fun to watch the Swedes and Canucks go at it.
ReplyDeleteI think the Canadians would have to get permission from their looney politicians after they consult with their Chinese, and Islamic overlords.
