A strangely SLOW sport. But hot.

and here comes the American ladies and boy, do they look ready.
You can say that again, Phil”
and here comes the Amer….
“wait, Boom Boom Johnson is about to lay it down”
“look at her determination while handling the knob, this gal
really wants it Bob”
“yes, Phil no one knows how to manipulate your stones like
Boom Boom”
“All the competitors are wide open at this point, they can almost
taste it”
” Don’t forget the sweepers, Bob, they look ready for a clean up
on aisle one”
“and here’s her approach, she looks great, almost irresistable!
she’s in her crouch and in the groove! Magnificent! Look at that
release! Boom Boom is ecstatic! The stone is really coming and
the fluffers are going to finish the job! It’s almost there, but something’s
wrong! Oh no! she’s not going to make it!”
“Yes, Phil, you can sense her dejection, so close yet so far away.”
“She’s leaving the field of play, but she’s not a quitter, Bob, and we will see more of her in the future.”

Roto, you missed your calling. Although as any woman can tell you … Oh never mind.

What can any woman tell me?
Oh, never mind, a Miss is calling.

I just watched some more “Olympic Curling”. Is this some kind
of joke? How did this become an Olympic winter sport? How can we put these professional moppers on the same podium with ski jumpers? What’s next? Olympic hop scotch or penny pitching on ice? Forget the Luge or Skeleton, throw away the sled, slide down the bobsled track on your naked butt. Now there’s a sport! “and here comes Lars “Leather Butt” Larson to the starting gate, representing Canada, but originally from Sweden, Larson has been conditioning his rump at The Butt Slide center in the Czech Republic. We talked to “Leather Butt” today.
“So, how do you feel about your chances about medaling today?”
“If I pull away from “Hard Ass” (USA Butt Slider) I get good shot, and with disqualify of Anal “Cupcake” Assenolius from Greece for his farts at the start then I get brown medal.”
“Well, there you heard it, back to you June at the Olympic Ice Fishing Center here in Beautiful BC!.

It is odd sport for women, essentially ironing and sweeping.

Canadian curling fans leave Danish player in tears
By Chris Chase
Danish curler was brought to tears after a boisterous Canadian crowd intentionally distracted her during crucial shots in her team’s match against the home nation. With the crowd stomping and making deafening noise, Denmark skip Madeleine Dupont missed two potentially game-winning shots and tearfully blamed the fans for it afterward. Canada won the match 5-4 in an extra end.
Such boorish fan behavior is normally considered unacceptable in the genteel world of curling.
After the match, Dupont told reporters:
“I could not control the weight on the last shot in the 10th. It should have been way slower, but when there are 6,000 people yelling, it’s pretty hard to find out how hard you kick off. It’s just so hard to focus. You’re trying, but it’s just not the same as if it was silent.
“If they were yelling this much when Cheryl was throwing, that would be more fair. You can’t hear anything. You can’t hear what your skip is saying. You can’t hear what your sweepers are saying. You just have to do your best under the circumstances – and we did, but it was hard in the 10th.”
There’s nothing wrong with cheering loudly before and after points, but fans need to respect the etiquette of whichever sport they’re watching and act accordingly. A luger knows he’s going to hear cowbells ringing while negotiating turns at 90 mph, yet it wouldn’t be fair if a spectator rang one during Evan Lysacek’s free skate. If a curler is used to silence, a curler deserves silence.
Even the Canadian curling team agrees. Skip Cheryl Bernard said of the boisterous fans at the rink:
“I’m guessing 75 percent in there don’t know the game that well and they’re just there to cheer. You have to give them something for that, but I think we need to have it a little bit quieter for the opposition because it’s uncomfortable for them.”
That’s more an indictment of the knowledge of fans rather than poor sportsmanship. Canadian fans will have a shot at redemption this week as their team plays in the medal rounds. Hopefully they’ll cheer on their hometown teams with passion, just not during the other team’s shots.

Nothing quite like Olympic camel toe, eh?
